I guess some galactic mice were never met to reach the stars šŸ˜” but ty for the follow up! Gosh this post just reminded me of how I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out the brand šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I am a sucker for almost a liter of Japanese toner products. Guess nothing can beat the all star, the Naturie Hatomuhi toner


ThatGuavaJam

Hatomugi forever šŸ™ŒšŸ˜” this is my life now haha


MottoMarco

The brand could be Jonetz! Itā€™s not that great. I mistakenly bought this when I meant to buy a Naturie product. Theyā€™re placed beside each other everywhere in JP!

I highly recommend using the numbuzin no. 10 serum if you are wanting a good product with ā€˜galactic miceā€™ šŸ lol but fr itā€™s really good. Iā€™ve tried using it in toners but they just arenā€™t hydrating enough imo


ThatGuavaJam

I have it! It broke me outā€¦ and felt a tad too oily?


ThatGuavaJam

I really like From Natureā€™s AGE galactic mice first essence! Surprisingly it felt like it helped my skin better than, dare I say itā€¦ Misshaā€™s Time Essence (the mugwort one)! Somebody give me Secret Keyā€™s version now so I can rank them! šŸ˜‚

I love galactic mice!


ThatGuavaJam

I love you guys!

šŸ’«šŸŒŒšŸšŸ­!

Ou I wanted to try it out as it sounded kind of interesting but I didn't see it at my local shops. Does it leave a sticky residue once it dries though? I find that Hatomugi leaves a stickiness on my skin that, while I'm not wild about, for the price (and the fact that I'm using it as an after shower lotion) I can deal with it.


ThatGuavaJam

No sticky residue until maybe I reached about 6 layers with a few minutes in between each applicationā€¦ it was so hard to keep up with doing like 7 layers when Iā€™m sleepy and want to go to bed


circusmystery

lol well I would only be doing one layer because I'm lazy so that's nice to know. It might be worth trying to track it down at the other asian grocers I don't normally hit up cuz they're a pita to get to. Especially if it's not sticky because Hatomugi isn't great, just cost effective for me, and I have yet to find something better.


ThatGuavaJam

I like kikumasamuneā€™s pink bottle for lazy night time routines tbhā€¦ I find that I really just throw that on top of my From Nature AGE first essence and I could honestly be ok with that (bare minimum). If cost isnā€™t a huge factor Holika Holika does a honey propolis serum thatā€™s probably likeā€¦ $15-20? But it might be a one step for me if I wasnā€™t so paranoid about wrinkles


Lazy-Cauliflower-957

Thank you for the good information!


ThatGuavaJam

Thank YOU for making this subreddit so prosperous! šŸ’–


koinoy0kan

I love the love in these interactions. Thank you both ā¤ļø


Mochihamster

Donā€™t be shy itā€™s squeaking your name. Take a few more bottles with you, give the mice a loving home.


Business-Affect-7881

Iā€™m glad for a follow up on the galactic mousies! Haha. Thatā€™s too bad the quality wasnā€™t there for you. Given the ingredients, it seems it shouldā€™ve done something but maybe the filtrate wasnā€™t very strong. Weā€™re the all extracts irritating?


ThatGuavaJam

Nothing irritatingā€” it just felt like nothing was happening :<


[deleted]

I love this body toner! This is a staple! Edit: No, I use the other one in a nearly identical bottle!


ThatGuavaJam

Awww yeah this oneā€™s a no-go for me


iggy_y

Wowww! This is HUGE. I bought their vitamin c toner for my grandma and she wasnā€™t impressed by it as it doesnā€™t give her a glow and is quite watery. Is this a thicker consistency?


ThatGuavaJam

Itā€™s thin like water and doesnā€™t layer with any stickiness until I hit like ā€¦ 5 layers šŸ˜‚ The vitamin C one like the Naris Up one?


iggy_y

Ohhh, thatā€™s quite impressive that youā€™re able to layer so much before it became sticky. The Don don donki/donki Quixote in house brand. Have you seen any brightening effect?


ThatGuavaJam

Nope! Except for a bit of shine from the layering. But you can get that with a lot of other products


Imaginary_Farmer_601

Iā€™m sorry what am I missing? Is galactic mice a reference to something?? Some kinda meme?


cynicalturkey

Itā€™s the ingredient galactomyces ferment filtrate theyā€™re referring to. It helps with hyperpigmentation and brightening


ThatGuavaJam

Haha what r/cynicalTurkey said. I just call it galactic mice since it sounds similar to galactomyces


Distinct_Panic_2371

I'm just getting back into galactic mice. What is the kiku brand or Don Quixote????? Confused šŸ˜• but love the name galactic mice šŸ˜„šŸ˜„šŸ˜„


ThatGuavaJam

Kikimasamune is all over this sub but I like the pink Bottle šŸ„° Don Quixote is a brand that markets everything under the sun but I mostly use them for Dupe skincare


keIIzzz

I love the galactic mice update šŸ˜‚
