Which is better, Sekkisei or Clinique? A tough choice for whitening and moisturizing

SEKKISEI is a Japanese skincare brand and Clinique is an American skincare brand. Both brands have good reputations and are not far apart in price. Which one is better, SEKKISEI or Clinique? Let’s take a look together.

Which is better, Sekkisei or Clinique?

Sekkisei focuses on whitening, while Clinique focuses on regulating the balance of water and oil. The two brands have different targets, so it is impossible to say which one is better. Instead, you should see which brand's efficacy better meets your needs. If you still don’t know how to choose, follow me to see some comparisons between SEKKISEI and Clinique products~

Comparison between Sekkisei Lotion and Clinique No. 2 Lotion

Sekkisei Lotion: It is usually used for wet compresses and has a good whitening effect. However, because it contains more ethanol (alcohol), people with thin skin or red blood streaks are better off using the pressing method instead of wet compresses. It is recommended that sensitive skin, especially skin that is allergic to alcohol, should not use it.

Clinique No. 2 Water: It is usually used for secondary cleansing. It can cleanse the skin well when applied with lotion. However, Clinique No. 2 Water contains denatured ethanol (industrial alcohol) and smells strongly of alcohol. It is best not to use on sensitive skin, especially skin that is allergic to alcohol.

Comparison between Sekkisei Lotion and Clinique Butter

Sekkisei Emulsion: The moisturizing effect is average, but the effect of fading acne marks is obvious. If you use it regularly, your skin will become delicate and your complexion will become brighter. It has a refreshing texture and is absorbed quickly, making it more suitable for oily skin. Since it contains alcohol, it is recommended to be used with caution on sensitive skin.

Clinique Butter: It has excellent moisturizing effect, can balance water and oil, and also soothe the skin. The oil version (lotion) is suitable for dry skin, and the oil-free version (gel) is suitable for oily skin. It does not contain alcohol and fragrance, and is suitable for sensitive skin.
