Hey everyone! I'm so excited about this cream right now that I just NEED to blog about it! I've only used it for about two weeks but I just love how it feels on my skin. I didn't expect much when I bought it and just kept it stored away for awhile. How lame am I? O_O
Sana Nameraka Face Cream
Here's the breakdown!
What it is: A thick white cream perfect for nighttime use. It is formulated with organic soybeans and contains plant collagen (from the soybeans) for your skin to absorb. Because I can't translate from direct Japanese, I don't know the full claims of this cream. Darn!
Texture: It feels like what you normally are used to in a jar. Like a concentrated emulsion with mask-like moisture, hence the thick cream.
Scent: They say there is no scent but we all know there is no such thing! The scent is the typical no scent smell. Pretty faint glue stick smell that goes away instantly.
Strengths: Really moisturizing and not sticky! My skin felt really supple and soft in the morning. Can we say hardworking soy beans? :p
Weaknesses: None for me, and I have combo skin toward the oilier side.
Packaging: Plastic jar. It's practical what it's housed in, but I sometimes get fearful of creams in plastic jars (plastic in general) because of the whole plastic BPA chemical thing. Price: $10 on AdamBeauty, $15 on Sasa.com for 50g (1.7 oz) of product.
Overall: This cream is the very basic of skincare. It's a nice thick cream that provides good moisturization and minimal efforts. It probably has skin brightening properties from the soybeans so that is always a plus. I really like it! It's a rich cream, it's basic and it's affordable. I love how it feels. This is a definite repurchase for me! I have yet to try the entire line, but I'm pretty happy with this overall.
Your thoughts? :) I'd love to hear what you thought of it or if you've tried other products in this line! Do share!

I haven't tried this particular product but I have tried Sana's face wash. It was okay. This product seems to be a good one though. I love the feeling of supple-ness when I wake up~ and it is pretty affordable too!
thanks for sharing :)
the product looks good and i think anything with soy in it is good for the skin. i havent tried thick creams, but i use vitamin c serum. i have oily skin and i live in a tropical country, so light creams are good for my skin type.
I basically love all Japanese and Korean skincare brands!!!
would like to try this one day! looks good! :)
no i've never tried that line (or most asian) skin care products -_- fail. oh wait except for haircare i have lol! i wish they are readily available here. anything that makes your skin moisturized and supple is always a great thing :)
OHHHH I should definitely try this : D But I really wanna try Naruko's eye jelly first >_<"
Will be checking this out soon! Thanks. The price is really not bad :)
ooh that sounds really cool. I might have to check it out. But I'm pretty loyal to my Origins rejuvenating cream.
It sounds great! Awesome review. :)
I'm using this right now too! :P
I love it :3
it really does feel very rich and smooth :3
Thanks for the review! This sounds like a very good, basic night time moisturizer, and it's great that it's not too expensive either. I'll have to keep this in mind when I'm done with my Laneige night cream :)
Never heard of this before, but it sounds like a really good product. I've never tired anything with soybeans and its so intriguing. The price is really good too.
By the way, you really gotta get that WnW ColorIcon blush in Pearlescent Pink. You will love it.
great review! i definitely want to try this. :)
Ohhh I never heard of this cream before but it sounds nice, thanks to your review!
I also like the idea of some natural ingredients like soy beans!
anyway xx
Looks like a nice simple cream! Sometimes the good basics are hard to find :)
sounds lovely! i might try this next time after finishing my Sana Hadanomy collagen cream :)
This sounds lovely! I really want to try it now.

i had bought this and used quite a lot of it, but it was more of a 3/5 for me since it didnt do good nor bad for my skin. it was kinda thick for my combo/oily skin. glad it worked out for you tho! :)
They actually have a new whitening/brightening line for this series of Nameraka (fermented soybean extract) line from SANA. I am currently living in Japan and working there, and noticed that line launched just months ago. The brightening line is in fact cheaper than the Co-enzyme Q10 line. A British friend(of African descent) told me that when he was buying stuff for his skin, and not knowing much in the way of Japanese skincare, grabbed this line's Q10 cream, at 1260 Yen, around USD 15 or so, and he loved it. Been on the 2nd jar as far as he told me. I got the brightening line's cream, since I had some blotchy spots from some small outbreak on my forehead which is now gone, but want the skin to be restored to its original tone faster. Will tell you how it goes later after a while of use. I personally liked the Q10 face wash in this line, and also the basic soy bean emulsion. They are rather cheap, retailing at around 598Yen, and way cheaper than American sites.
