<![CDATA[Are Cosmetics and toiletries from Japan safe to use?]]>Hi to all!


Do you think that cosmetics and toiletries from Japan are safe to use after the 311? Since H2O are used widely in manufacturing the products and their water are contaminated, will you continue to use?

thanks for all the valuable advices. No offence lah, I take it on a light note only. Seriously now, which Korean brands whitening pdt are good?. I’ve yet to try them. Anything closest to SKII miracle water?? I’ve been using this for many moons and love it, but now I have to give it up. Thought of storing more but very expensive. Looks like I’ve to forgo and try other pdts. Is Clinique good? From USA, suitable for Asian skin?

Pls don't laugh at my posting mah! Currently I am in a dilemma as to which country pdt to switch to after using the Japanese ones for more than 20 years. Stocking up is not a long term solution soI guess I may just have to slowly introduce one pdt at a time as I have sensitive skin.

tinkfirst, we were only laughing at Way2Go's comment, not your post. Please don't be offended.

You can :spank: us if you like.

Hi Tinkfirst,


Have you tried Korea Product? I have changed my skin care from US range to Korea range for almost 2 years and so far so good and also cheaper.

yes, stock up for the moment and slowly switch to other products is the best solution.

IE even if someone from the internet says its perfectly safe, would/should you use it?


It would likely give you peace of mind to use some other product.
