Two presses of the pump and the serum sits on your fingertip — dense, but it melts the moment it meets the cheek and dries down to a firm, non-tacky hold. This is the top of FANCL's aging-care line, fully renewed in September 2025: the clear glass bottle has become a rose-pink case, and the rose placenta formula has been replaced by the brand's own milk exosome, ten years in development.

[Step 2 of the BC routine] Nothing about where it goes has changed: BC Lotion → this serum → BC Emulsion. In FANCL's own official BC skincare set, the middle bottle is exactly this serum — the renewal changed the name and the packaging, and the bottle no longer carries the BC wording.

[Milk exosome — ten years to find it] FANCL spent a decade identifying the exosome best suited to skin, drawn from milk and goat milk extract. It reaches where it is aimed — down into the stratum corneum — and works directly at the root of slackening skin for a new level of firmness and resilience. (*Milk extract and goat milk extract, moisturising ingredients.)

[Aimed at the "reset factor" that declines with age] FANCL notes that the factors keeping skin in good condition — firmness and resilience — tend to decrease as we age. The formula is built around that.

[Three botanical extracts for bounce and glow] Lotus germ extract, sweet pea flower extract and perilla leaf extract give the stratum corneum a generous layer of moisture, bringing a natural, dimensional glow to the high points of the cheek.

[94% satisfaction with how it feels] User survey, September–October 2024, n=266.

[Additive-free formula] No preservatives, synthetic fragrance, synthetic colourants, petroleum-derived surfactants or UV absorbers. Mildly acidic, with the manufacturing date printed on the bottle.

[Two formats] "With Case" includes the rose-pink case plus one refill — choose this if it is your first purchase. "Refill Only" is the inner bottle alone, for anyone who already owns the case.

[How to use] After cleansing, apply after your lotion and before your emulsion. Two pumps each time, worked outward across the face. 18mL lasts about 30 days.

[Freshness] Use within 60 days of opening; unopened, keep within 2 years.
