## Important notes

Japan is the quasi-drug product no. 13. The US, Taiwan, and Hong Kong are regional cosmetic counterparts, so their legal labels and ingredient declarations can differ. Sensitive, Extra Moisture, coloured versions, and sets are different products.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
