"The texture is this sort of gel cream. Like it's lightweight, but it's still super cushiony. It gives a hydrated, bounciness to the skin with a slightly dewy finish. Now, what's really interesting is that this product still works for me while the others do not. I guess it just goes to show that different formulas can behave differently, but to me, this is worth every single penny, coming in at about $70."

"This is Educated Mess's Sake Bomb. It is my go-to. I love it. It is super bouncy and fluffy, but really hydrating all at the same time. Such an absolute joy to use."

"This is a lightweight gel cream moisturizer that is deceptively powerful. It's called the Sake Bomb because it contains sake ferment and this is great for softening and for brightening the skin. And this is bursting with hydrating ingredients and peptides. The texture is so lovely. [...] It's not super heavy, which makes it fine for the hot weather or even those with oily skin. It sinks in quickly, but it just leaves my skin so plump and supple."

"Absolutely beautiful [...] lightweight moisturizer. It's one of those daily moisturizers that you can use year round depending on your skin's need. If you have normal to slightly dry skin, you can use this in the fall. I would say in the summer, those of you with oily skin probably are going to find this a bit heavy. And in the winter, those folks with oily skin are probably going to really enjoy this. It just sinks right into the skin."

"It starts off like a cream, like a gel cream, right, and then you start putting it on your skin and [...] it turns into like this thick water that just feels so quenching on the skin but doesn't sink in and disappear. You are left looking glowy and dewy, feeling super well hydrated. It's got Aloe Leaf in it as well which I love for soothing and hydration. I love this and it's a moisturizer I can rely on to keep me looking hydrated but not greasy and oily throughout the whole day."

"When we were developing the products for Educated Mess, with the Sake Balm we did a reverse emulsion, thickened with an interaction between salt and the emulsifier, so we didn't have to use a polymer thickener to get that nice texture. I specifically wanted a moisturizer that will never pill no matter what you add to it."
