Hada Labo Anti-Aging Hydrator is a serum-like formula that is said to provide deep hydration while increasing your skin’s firmness and elasticity. The formula is said to absorb instantly so skin feels smooth, tighter, and renewed. You can use the Anti-Aging Hydrator after applying the Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion or on its own. If you’re looking for a really hydrating cream for winter, Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream is also worth looking into. Personally, when someone says lotion I immediately think body lotion and if someone says milk, well, I think cereal to be honest lol. In Japan, various beauty products are sold in wide price ranges from high-end ones at department stores to affordable ones at drugstore. Hada Labo Gokujyun Moisture Milk contains 3 kinds of hyaluronic acid, a powerful humectant, which is an ingredient that sits on the top layer of your skin, draws in moisture, slowing it from evaporating, and therefore keeping skin hydrated.

The Gokujyun Hydrating Lotion has been a top-selling facial toner in Japan since it was released in 2004. There are two types available: the regular type (red) is suitable for normal to dry skin and the light type (green) for combination skin.I have been using this product for a couple of months now and feel it has made a noticeable difference to my skin. It is also very affordable and lasts a long time. I bought the product two months ago, have been using it regularly and still have more than half a bottle left. The Hado Labo UK Range

Follow with the next step in your skincare routine. These lotions should usually be followed with a moisturizer at some point, such as one of the Hada Labo milks (also known as emulsions). Besides the regular line, Gokujyun series is also available with two other variations: Gokujyun Premium for deeper moisturization and Medicated Gokujyun for oily or acne prone skin.

The functions of hyaluronic acid are based on the ability of this molecule to absorb and hold water. In fact, hyaluronic acid is able to hold more water than any other natural substance—up to 1,000 times its weight in water! This is possible because hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a long polysaccharide (sugar molecule) composed of disaccharides called amino sugars and uronic acid. GAGs are negatively charged and thus tend to attract positively charged sodium and potassium ions. In turn, this causes the GAGs to absorb and hold a large amount of water. If there is one Japanese skincare product that has a cult following, it would have to be Hada Labo lotion. This product range is incredibly popular; with one bottle of their Gokujyun Hyaluronic Lotionsold every 2 seconds in Japan. These light lotions are centred around hyaluronic acid, making them super hydrating and leaving skin feeling plump. They are pH balanced and wonderfully affordable, just a little bit of product goes a long way. A lot of people think that higher prices they pay to beauty products, better results they see on their skin. However, it’s not really true when it comes to Japanese beauty products. I agree that the quality of high-end brands’ beauty products are usually very good (also, you get great customer services at the stores), but there are numbers of amazing beauty products sold at Japanese drugstores including skin care and makeup products. These products are called “Puchipura Kosume” which means petit (small) price and they are popular among all generations.
