It's been a while since I last updated my blog and I apologize. I do have good reason for this. Lack of time. It's a horrible, shitty reason that really bothers me. I have things I want to write and share but there's simply no time.
Work beckons. As daunting as that is, it's what pay for the bills and as such, it takes priority over everything else.
Enough whining, here's my review for Hada Labo Rohto Hadalabo Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist, or what's most commonly known as Hada Labo with the red label.
Price: RM27.90
Verdict: 10/10
Repurchase: Yes.
Price & Shop
I bought these from NattaCosme on 11street.my using some coupons. The price for two of these is normally discounted to RM85.90 - RM89.90 on the site, despite what ludicrous original price it insists on putting.
There're normally lots of discount coupons that can be used on these. I bought two for RM55.93, which is about RM27.90 per bottle. My experience with Natta Cosme has been nothing but spectacular. Delivery takes a day, which is just incredible. The Hada Labo with the red label (moist) comes very highly recommended becaues it's incredibly hydrated.
Ingredients & Directions
Directions say to use this twice a day after cleansing. I use this after my actives and before any of my moisturizers.
Ingredients: Water,Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Disodium Succinate,Methylparaben,Sodium Hyaluronate (Small-Size HA),Sodium Hyaluronate (Medium-Size HA), Succinic Acid, PPG-20 Methyl GlucoseEther,Hyaluronic Acid (Nano HA), Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronated (Super HA)
To be honest, I didn't realize how incredibly short the ingredients were in the product. There are three types of Hyaluronic Acid in the lotion to moisturize the skin and help preserve optimum moisture balance. The simple ingredients meant that if you do break out from them, it's fairly easy to identify what's causing it and know to avoid them in the future.
Texture and Fragrance
This is very watery, so I decanted this into a smaller bottle. I only need to use three droplets for my entire face, which means a single bottle will last a good long while... if only I stopped using this on my entire body too. It soaks into my skin beautifully and I find myself enjoying the application.
It doesn't smell like anything to me, which I find quite agreeable since I don't particular enjoy heavy-fragranced products.
Performance
As I mentioned earlier, I use this both in the mornings and nights before any of my moisturizers or essences. In the morning, I mix with with my Scinic Honey AIO and that's the end of my morning routine. Honest! The weather here is hot and humid, and those two products are the only thing my combi/oily skin needs to stay happy.
After using this for a little more than 3 months, my skin was considerably more hydrated. My skin stopped being so oily and that're really very cool since my skin has been disgustingly oily ever since I came home to the humid heat in Malaysia. I also use this before applying sheet masks and it soaks all the essence into my skin.
This lotion has been reported to work wonderfully on dry skin and I was surprised this worked so well for me even with my oilier skin. I'd love to try other Hada Labo products eventually, but this seems to be the cheaper of the line with the others being more expensive so (points upwards) unless work agrees, I'm probably going to refrain from buying more expensive products.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Price-wise, this is amazing per ml. You can also get this for RM59 on Guardian Malaysia, but why pay more when you can get it for less?
- It does what it's supposed to wonderfully!
- The short ingredient list means it has less triggering ingredients.
- Absorbs wonderfully.
- Made my skin less oily! :D
Cons
- None that I can think of.
Price: RM27.90
Verdict: 10/10
Repurchase: Yes.
