Hitachi hada crie

Recently i bought this new beauty tool from amazon.jp at about 12,000yen. Its selling for about 25,000yen in electrical shops here!! Its suppose to enhance the penetration of your toner using ion and microwaves. There are 4 functions to it. 1. Cleansing 2. Patting 3. Moist up and 4. Cool mode. Its about 5 minutes for each course so the total course will take about 20 minutes! A diy mini facial in your home lol. Of course you dont have to use all 4 everytime. For eg, on days when you dont need deep cleansing, you can skip it and just use the other 3 modes or on super lazy days, perhaps just the cool mode to close up the pores after cleansing. Its not wireless so you will need to stay close to somewhere whereby you can connect the adapter to. There is another version of this which is cheaper (about 7,000yen in amazon and 13,000yen in shops) which comes wireless but instead of the cool mode, it is replaced by a refresh mode which im not too sure what it does. So it all depends on what you need. The cool mode helps closes/minimises the pores. Another thing about this is that it only comes in 110v (in japan) thus it cant be used elsewhere unless with a voltage converter.. However, the cheaper wireless version can be used worldwide with a voltage of 100-240v.

1. Cleansing
You should use this mode with a cotton pad soaked with your usual toner or a wipe off toner after your normal cleansing routine. In some cases, the cotton pads comes off yellowish but not for my case.. It always comes off clean! So i assume my cleanser alone is doing a great job and thus this mode renders useless to me lol

2. Patting
Use this mode without a cotton pad. You will need to put on lots of toner onto your skin before using this mode so the tool will be able to glide along your skin smoothly without dragging it. Add toner if necessary.

3. Moist up
As with mode 1, you will need to use a soaked cotton pad (with your toner as well)

4. Cool
In this mode, you will need no toner amd no cotton pads. You need to allow the machine to cool itself down which takes about 1.5 minutes and then just pat slowly and gentle onto your skin. You are not advised to put the tool onto the same area of the skin for more than a second as it risk damaging your skin due to the low temperature and also it will risk warming up the tool itself n render it useless for pore closing due to the skin's warmth.

After everthing, follow up with your usual skincare routine. Be prepared that your toner will deplete very fast! So get a cheap toner! Lol!

Personally, i felt its quite a useless tool for me as i dont see any difference on my skin though i see lots of great reviews online.. In fact, all the rubbing on my skin with a cotton pad is irritating my sensitive skin.. My skin gets red and stings after each treatment and perhaps due to the irritation,my skin got really bumpy after a week so i stopped using it now. Will review again if i decided to re try it hehe
