OVERALL SUMMARY

Better-than-Decent Skin Healing

Using the beauty benefits found in fermented soy milk, soy protein and extracts derived from non-GMO soybeans, SANA’s Soy Milk All-In-One Moisture Jelly Gel (Namerakahonpo) is a pudding-like face moisturizer that “melts” when it touches the skin. With its high absorption ability, its formula is made to make dry skin bouncier, firmer and restore hydration without the need for a costly day and night skincare routine by combining six skin care products into one bottle.

I first heard about this cream from online reviews speaking highly about its ability to cure stubborn dry skin but also, there are some who also say they were able to see immediate pumping effects after two days of usage. Could this be the answer for dull crusty looking skin? Let’s dive into this moisture-rich gel formula and pick out what works and what doesn’t.

APPLICATION

Hands down the best thing about this product is its convenience when applying.

Even though I’m someone who invests taking care of my skin seriously, I must admit I can be very lazy at maintaining my own routine too. Seriously, a full-on skincare routine is definitely a time-consuming task to undertake on a nightly basis. Being suitable for day or night application, SANA’s Namerakahonpo All-in-One Moisture Jelly Gel simplifies what would usually be six individual skin care steps into an all-in-one formula meaning less wait time when waiting for formulas to dry between

layers, and not having to balance a facial mask from falling off your face when you want to sit upright. It’s a total time saver! 

Another plus is that this face moisturiser is not a cream formula but a kind of watery milky gel that’s great for anyone who isn’t into heavy or oily moisturisers. It’s lightweight and smooth when applied, easy to rub into the skin with no sticky or visible residue. Having said that though, I do suggest to layer your application more than once especially during cold and drier weather since the formula doesn’t last as long as oil-based types.

SKIN BENEFITS AND EFFECTS

This All-In-One Moisture Jelly Gel has one mission only: to make the skin hydrated.

Although it’s a shame it doesn’t have any other added skin benefits, the formula in this jelly gel is created to aid winter dry skin by combining the benefits of the moisturising properties found in multiple skin care products into one.

For me, the extra boost of hydration and liquid formula really helps take care of those stubborn crusts and flake-patches that develop around the corner of the nose. This always frustrates me especially when I wear makeup but it seems to appear less since using this cream. 

What I don’t think works is the primer. The primer in SANA’s Moisture Jelly Gel doesn’t smooth out your pores giving a “bubble” or “pothole” look if you have bad pores like me currently. 

Also, the claims of seeing immediate bouncy and firm skin were not noticeable to me even after using this product for over a month. This is most likely because I do use other products to tackle my skin problems and the results from SANA’s Moisture Jelly Gel are not as recognisable. If you are someone who doesn’t have a specific skin care routine or has mature skin, you might see different results than I have.

Packaging and Design

The product comes in an easy screw-off tub and though it is a generic white shape with a sticker on it, it’s still nice to hold and not too cheap feeling.

Germaphobes might freak over bacteria as you will need to dip into

the product directly and there is no spatula or spoon which comes with it.

Overall, SANA’s Namerakahonpo All-in-One Moisture Jelly Gel’s design isn’t dynamic or special but decently good for everyday use.

VALUE FOR MONEY

Considering this product combines six other products in one, at roughly $10 it’s a great bang-for-your-buck and it contains enough product to last for a month or so.

Though it might sound like glorified moisturizer, I would definitely place the

Namerakahonpo All-in-One Moisture Jelly Gel as a product you would see under the higher-quality skincare range at your local beauty retailer as it’s definitely more concentrated than normal lotion with better ingredients.

    I feel like any all-in-one formula doesn’t really do its job all that well.. good that this one at least hydrates! I see it in all the drug stores here but have never tried it myself. Nice review!
    xo Samantha

      Thanks Samantha!
      Yeah I think it’s because it got a high ranking on @cosme in the all-in-one category which is why you can find it everywhere.
      I seriously wonder if there really is a primer in this cream. It literally does nothing imo haha

      Hi Vanessa, I think the only way is to shop online unless you have a local shop that stocks Japanese cosmetics.
      We provided an international shop link above if you are interested :)

    Glad to see a review on this gel!
    My experience was a mix. At first, it felt so heavy and sticky that I almost discard it. When my night cream finished, I gave it a try and the result has been wonderful after a week of use. I find what works best is to apply thin layer and build it, and to apply with massaging motion. I only tried it once for day use, but my skin is now a lot smoother I don’t need primer.

    • Jen

      Hiiii can I use this product for oily skin?

      • Siree

        Hi Jen!
        Thanks for commenting.
        You can use this product if you have oily skin as it is a lightweight moisturizer type.
        Depending on how oily your skin gets, I would recommend putting on a light layer first then build on top if you need more.
