The Story Behind Onsen Secret’s Daily Hydration Update

From the Heart of Doron Santo, Founder of Onsen Secret

In this article: Discover the personal journey, science, and heart that went into refining the Daily Hydration Moisturizer and introducing the revolutionary Skin Reboot Night Repair Cream. We’ll explore the reasons behind these updates, the transformative impact of enzymes, and how this duo can completely revamp your skincare routine.

My Journey: Why I Insist on Evolving Onsen Products

Every product I develop at Onsen Secret starts with a deep intention. It’s like embarking on a creative journey where the destination is unknown, but the purpose is clear: to create something that truly empowers your skin to thrive on its own. My focus is never on just making a new product for the sake of sales but rather on improving what already exists to serve you better.

When I first launched Onsen Secret, I would often hear distributors say, “Can I get this for my mom?” That sentiment stuck with me. Creating something worthy of being gifted to someone’s mother—a symbol of unconditional care—became my personal mantra. This is why every product I develop is one I’d gladly give to my own mother, who means the world to me.

Over the years, this philosophy has driven me to continuously refine the Daily Hydration Moisturizer, a customer favorite since its inception in 2005. Instead of releasing entirely new products to boost sales, I’ve chosen to improve our existing offerings. This commitment often comes with challenges, as any change—no matter how beneficial—can raise questions. But I cannot sell or give you a product I don’t 100% believe in. That’s why I want to share the journey and the science behind the latest update to Daily Hydration.

Why Did We Update the Daily Hydration Moisturizer?

Since its creation, the Daily Hydration Moisturizer has been refined multiple times. Each update has been guided by advancements in skincare science and a deeper understanding of your skin’s needs. The most recent update, however, is perhaps the most significant yet. Here’s why:

Traditional formulas often rely on straight-added vitamins like A, C, and E. While effective, these additives can sometimes limit the skin’s ability to absorb and utilize them fully. I wanted to find a way to make these nutrients more bioavailable, ensuring your skin reaps their full benefits.

The Power of Enzymes: Nature’s Collagen Catalyst

Enter the Japanese White Pagoda Flower Enzymes—a groundbreaking discovery that changed everything. These enzymes act as a catalyst, enabling your skin to naturally release up to 20x more potent vitamins A, C, and E. Unlike synthetic additives, these enzymes ensure the vitamins are delivered in their most bioavailable form, deeply absorbed by the skin.

Here’s what makes this update so transformative:

• Collagen Production: The enzymes help restart your skin’s natural collagen production, improving elasticity and reducing visible signs of aging.
• Color Shift: The formula’s natural color has shifted to a light beige due to these potent enzymes. We’ve chosen not to include artificial dyes or whiteners, keeping the product as raw and effective as possible.
• Safety and Purity: Over four years of testing have gone into this new formula to ensure it’s not just effective but also safe for all skin types.

“It’s not just about adding ingredients; it’s about creating a formula that works with your skin’s biology to restore balance and vitality.”

Why We Removed Synthetic Additives

Over the years, we’ve removed synthetic scents and harsh chemicals from our products. While these changes might seem subtle, they reflect our commitment to purity and safety. The updated formula is free from unnecessary additives, allowing the natural ingredients to shine. The result? A moisturizer that’s more potent, more effective, and better for your skin.

The Truth About Collagen: Why We Don’t Add It Directly

One of the most common misconceptions in skincare is that adding collagen to a product will directly boost your skin’s collagen levels. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. When collagen is applied externally, it can trick your body into thinking it has enough, causing your natural collagen production to slow down or even stop. This is why we’ve chosen a different path—one that supports your skin’s ability to produce its own collagen.

By introducing enzymes like those from the Japanese White Pagoda Flower, we’re not just stimulating collagen production; we’re also triggering the release of thousands of other essential nutrients that help your skin function at its best. This holistic approach ensures your skin isn’t just treated—it’s empowered.

Introducing the Skin Reboot Night Repair Cream

As proud as I am of the updated Daily Hydration, I knew something was missing—a nighttime companion to support your skin’s repair process while you sleep. That’s why I developed the Skin Reboot Night Repair Cream, the first night cream in the world designed to detoxify skin cells from daily toxins, stress, and pollution.

Here’s how it works:

• Detoxification: Removes accumulated toxins and stress from the skin.
• Spot Prevention: Helps prevent and relieve age and sun spots by promoting balanced melanin distribution.
• Relaxation: Infused with natural essential oils like Geranium, it promotes hormonal relaxation, helping you unwind while rejuvenating your skin.

The formula has a slightly richer texture than the Daily Hydration, offering intense hydration without feeling heavy.

The Skin Reboot Duo: Your Ultimate Day and Night Routine

For a seamless 24-hour skincare ritual, pair the Daily Hydration Moisturizer with the Skin Reboot Night Repair Cream. Together, they form the Skin Reboot Duo, designed to protect, hydrate, and repair your skin around the clock.

Final Thoughts: Why These Updates Matter

Skincare is personal. It’s about trust, growth, and finding solutions that truly work for you. At Onsen Secret, we’re committed to evolving with you, ensuring every product meets the highest standards of care and effectiveness.
