Best Skin Care Products to Buy in Japan 2022–2023

Skin Care Products: Japanese Cosmetics Ranking 2022

“@cosme”, the biggest and the most influential beauty product website has released the list of this year’s most popular and well-loved beauty products, “The Best Cosmetics Awards 2022”. Let’s find out the latest and the most trending beauty products of the year selected by Japanese beauty product users!

“@cosme” hosts the beauty award “The Best Cosmetics Awards” twice a year in June (mid-year) and December (year-end), listing up the most popular and trending cosmetics products from various categories (skincare, makeup, body care, hair care, etc). The rankings are based on actual users’ votes, so it’s genuine and up-to-date. The Best Cosmetics Awards are top-rated and influential among cosmetics fans worldwide, and winning products tend to become even more popular or sell out quickly after awards are revealed!

In this article, I’d like to share the top three products from The Best Cosmetics Awards 2022: skin care category including cleansers, face wash, toner, cream, sheet masks, and more. Let’s find out the best Japanese skin care products in Japan in 2022–2023!
