Hada Labo Review

Hello ! Today I'll be reviewing two Hada Labo products : Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion ( right ) & Hydrating Milk ( Left ). I purchased these off of Amazon.com.

So last year I started hearing a lot about the company Hada Labo and how it's super popular in Japan and how a bottle of lotion sells every 4 seconds. At that time, I was beginning to get interested in asian brand cosmetics and Hada Labo seemed like a good company to try out.

So first is the Moisturizing Lotion.

 

 In Japan and other asian countries, lotion means toner. The texture is pretty much like water but slightly sticky I guess. It comes in a bottle and I just shake out a few drops on my hand before patting it onto my face. After I got a hang of how much I needed for my face, it was absorbed quickly and my face felt fresh and slightly hydrated afterwards. I use this after I wash my face and before I use my moisturizer. I feel like it helps my skin absorb other products after I put it on, so I use it before doing masks too ((: Plus it doesn't break me out.

I'll give this a  5/5

Next is the Hydrating Milk.

this is like 1 drop for me btw

The texture is like... imagine slightly thick, sticky milk I guess ? haha. It looks white when its all together like that, but when you spread it its clear. This also comes in a bottle and I usually use 2-4 drops for my entire face. When I first pat it in it makes my face feel oily and gross, but after like 30 seconds its completely absorbed and my face feels so soft and supple *O* I really like this moisturizer. It's very light, doesn't feel heavy or oil when absorbed into my face, and doesn't cause me to break out.

I give this a  5/5

My siblings use Cetaphil as their moisturizer and sometimes I take a liittle bit and pat it on parts of my face that still need hydrating. One time I decided to try using only the Cetaphil lotion to compare it to the Hada Labo Milky lotion. The Cetaphil lotion felt heavy and oily on my skin and the next day I got a pimple on my nose lol .

Overall, I think these are great products. I think they have really helped smooth and hydrate my skin. Before, my skin was dry, oily, and my nose was flaking and peeling a LOT. My change in face wash and exfoliator helped too though. I've been using them for about 8 months maybe ? and I'm almost out so I will be repurchasing soon ^___^ Although I think I will try the other types of lotion ( toner ) that Hada Labo has and keep using the Hydrating Milk.
