Have you tried Alovivi 100% hyaluronic acid extract? (from Beauty Language) is it the same? but the alovivi product is so ex!! (at $60 for 30ml)

How long does the hada Labo toner last? (months of usage).
does your face secret oil after that?

No I never try Alovivi HA extract before. For me, I find Hada Labo lotion is real good. After each use, my skin gets instant hydration. I actually love it!

I have slightly dry skin, my skin doesn’t feel oily after hours later.

You may want to try the samples before you buy it :

Hi Shirleen

I just want to ask it this product Hada Labo Made in Japan coz i quite confuse what i saw in my country it Made in China are the product is same?

Hi Moon,

That’s strange! Made in China?? I wonder if it’s genuine?

What I have with me are all made in Japan by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co. Japan.

Not another SK-II…… It is believed that SKII products that are distributed to Taiwan, China and Hong Kong are made in China.

I don’t know the label is same as your picture on your blog (One drop locks up an ocean)don’t have the blue small logo.
Anyway i will try to find at other outlets

Hi there. I am a big fan of Hada Labo products and every time when I go to Japan, I try to buy as much as possible. The company seem to release new line of products every so often and I love going to Japanese drug stores to see all the new products.

i was wonder how much is
Hada Labo the product if i buy in the U.S

Thanks for the review and videos. I’m lovin the Hada Labo and using it daily. (Bye-bye dry skin)

U r welcome!

My first impression about this product is
will it make my face oily? Fortunately, when
i use the lotion, i can hardly believe it, my face is so soft!

Hi Szu Min,

I totally agree with you, my skin is so soft after using it too. It has became my ‘must-have’ night skincare regimen product.

Hi Shirleen,

I don’t really understand this hydrating product. Is it used as a moisturizer or use on top of a moisturizer? This looks amazing to hydrate the skin, but will it be too lacking as compared to an anti-aging moisturizer?

Thanks!

Hi Yvonne,

It is in fact a lotion, not a moisturizer. Use this product after cleanser. It softens the skin so that it can help a better penetration of nutrients from the next product. You will still need to use a moisturizer to seal up the skin as the final regimen.

Hi Shirleen,

Thanks for the clarification. I’m so confused with so many products in the market. Can I ask you another qns? Under your recommendation, I’m using the Paula’s Choice leave on exfoliant, and if I want to use this lotion, I assume it’s after the exfoliant?

Hi Yvonne,

Yes, there are so many products everywhere and so many new launches too. It’s quite confusing.

Correct, use the Paula Choice’s Exfoliant and follow by Hada Labo Lotion.

Hi Shirleen,
I really love Hada labo, I’ve been using this product since last July (I moved to Japan in January this year). At first I was just curious, because whenever I went to a drug store, the refill for Hadalabo was always half sold out than other products. In July, my skin was really dry, and just couldn’t catch up with Japan’s hot humid weather, I got acnes, really bad! a little desperate, noticing beautiful japanese women in shinjuku buying this product,so I decided to buy one too, and never regret that decision eversince. It really helps my skin. It really moisturizes, and got rid the acnes for me ^_^

Hi Mona,

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Yes I have seen the advertisement on refill on YouTube. It’s not available in Singapore yet.

I love the lotion very much too, my ‘must-have’ product for my night regime. I’ve been using it ever since it launched in July.

hi my face has some severe pimples.
is it okay to use the hada labo milk lotion?

thanks

Hi Fannie,

Definitely you can. Just use a little will do.

Hi Shirleen,

I am continuing Moon confusion, the made in china does exsist around here, can you advise me, where I can buy the original product online? The Hada Labo hasn’t arrived in my country yet, don’t know if they ever will, I am in Indonesia

Hi Anita,

You can buy the original Hada Labo products at The Sample Store website. Please email to help@thesamplestore.sg for enquiry.

Please send me a phone number or web site address to obtain Hada Labo products.

Thank You

Hi Leticia,

Please email to The Sample Store at help@thesamplestore.sg to obtain Hada Labo products.

hi shirleen, do you know if they have an exfoliator or some sort of peeling? doesnt seem like they have any? maybe if you use the products you dont need them? im going to try the aha/bha range

Hi Linda,

Hada Labo do carry AHA/BHA range, here’s the reference - http://www.hadalabo.com.sg/index_EN.htm

hi shileen i want to ask you a question hada labo is made in chiana or japan? it is original product because i buy at Gardian Malaysia ..

Hi Mas,

All Hada Labo products are made in Japan. I’m not surprised there are imitation flooding around, be careful.

Hi Shirleen,

I just google about Hada Labo product review, and found your website.

I have an enquiry, my skin have acnes and sometimes the skin is very oily. I used to have a clear skin last year, but not sure what went wrong, now end-up with congested skin. Do you think the cleanser and the lotion are suitable for oily skin and is there any of its product could eliminate blemish?

Thanks

Hi Fizah,

It sounds like your skin maybe dehydrated and covered with a layer of dead skin cells. When skin is dehydrated, the oil sebum will push up to the surface of the skin. Yes the cleanser and lotion are suitable for your skin type.

Hada Labo carries another range specially for blemishes - AHA & BHA Exfoliating Care. Not too sure if it is good.

Hi Shirleen,

My skin is very oily and acne prone + easily to get scars. Plan to use SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, but don’t plan to use the other range of SK-II products yet as I’m afraid they didn’t suits me. Can you suggest me the other range of cleanser, toner and moisturizer? Interested with Hada Labo

Hi Malina,

Hada Labo cleanser, lotion and emulsion are pretty good. You probably wanna start with the starter kit before buying the full size products. Hope the products work on you.

Fyi, I’m presently using the Dr. Cilabo Super Cleansing EX (makeup remover) and Cleansing Foam EX. Not too bad though. My skin super clean after using them.

Btw, use the SKII FTE after the Hada Labo lotion and before emulsion.

Thank you Shirleen for the reply. Hope that Hada Labo products will cure my oiliness face…

Hello,juz want to share.. for those concerning about HL China and Japan, both r actually original.( Found it in their webste)All the ingredients r brought frm Japan to China so that the price will b cheapper in some countries. Like in S’pore, they r fully imported frm Japan while in M’sia in it’ll b from China.Only The new range HL Retinol-anti aging(red), r fully imported from Japan.

Hi Jesz,

Just to clarify, when the ingredients are brought from Japan to China, do you mean those HL products sold in China are manufacture in China?

Hi, Shirleen, I’m not too sure about it coz i nvr bought 1 in China. But in M’sia, there’s been a big question mark on ths issue. So, i did a little research myself n found that, the ingredients are brought to China and undergo the same process as it is in Japan. Since Rohto is a big company-i’m a bit convince tht this wont b a big prob.We can buy it with peace in mind as long as we bought it at the right place.

Thanks Jesz for the info.

Hi, Shirleen! Do u know whether Hada Labo moisturizing care have the function of protect skin from UV and dryness?

Hi Stephy,

Unfortunately, Hada Labo does not have any product for UV protection.

hai shirleen,

i am quite interest to try dis HL product.. can you name me list of the product so that i can make as a refence b4 going to watson + guardian .. since all of the product r all in japanese….

Hi all,

I just bought Hada Labo Moisturizing Lotion recently without doing any research. I am surprised to read so many good review about this product.

My skin used to be dry and caused break-out. I have ance scars too. I wonder does it helps to reduce scar?

HI Burberry,

The 4 ranges are :

Hydrating range (white packaging)
- Makeup Remover, Face Wash, Lotion, Essence, Cream (new), Milk & Mask

Whitening range (blue packaging)
- Lotion, Essence, Milk & Mask

Anti-aging range (red packaging)(not too sure if it’s available in Malaysia yet)
- Lotion, Essence, Milk & Mask

AHA/BHA Exfoliating Care (baby blue)
- Exfoliating Face Wash & Exfoliating Face Wash Foam

You may wanna check out the products from this link : http://www.hadalabo.com.sg/

Hi WeeSan,

The moisturizing Lotion will help to improve your dry skin but it wouldn’t reduce the scars though. It may probably make the scars appear less visible.

Hi Shirleen,

I have quite oily skin, large pores and my face looks dull so I am in desperate need to repair it. I have read about your reviews on this HL Hydration series as well as the Kiehl Ultra Facial Oil-Free range of products. I am looking for natural products. Could you kindly advise me which are those suitable for my condition?

Thanks you.

Hi Karen,

I guess your large pores and dull skin maybe due to the accumulation of dead skin cells on your skin surface. You may want to remove the dead skin by using an exfoliant. For something mild, you may want to check out the Clarins White Plus Renewing Gentle Exfoliator or Gentle Renewing Brightening Peel.

I will personally prefer Hada Labo Hydration series then Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free range because HL products are formulated with better and non-irritant ingredients. The HL products may help to improve your oily skin.

Hi Shirleen,

Thanks for your advice. For my skin type, can i use Hada Labo Hydration series with Dr. Cilabo Aqua-Collagen-Gel Super Sensitive? If so, where can I get this gel?

Cheers,
Sin Yin

hi,my skin always get acne and pimple then it become dark scar,and i have using to many product before. the result still not statisfied.what product should used to solve this problem

Hi Sharmila,

Not too sure if the Hada Labo exfoliating range will help to treat your problems. You may want to consult a dermatologist for help.

Where in the US can I buy Hada skin products?

Thanks
Lorraine

Hi Lorraine,

Not too sure though, very likely you have to get it online.

Where in US may I order the Hda skin care products

Hi Lorraine,

Try these :

Hi Shirleen

If I’m using SK2 clear lotion, follow by FTE & signature cream, at which step should I apply this SHA MOISTURISING LOTION? or can I replace signature cream with SHA lotion?

I have enlarged pores and oily skin at T-zone, yet the cheeks are generally rather dehydrated, as fine lines have started to appear and skin does feel tight after a wash ( SIMPLE DEEP CLEANSING WASH)

Thanks!

Hi Michelle,

For me, I will use the SKII clear lotion with a cotton pad to help remove the residue on the skin and follow with SHA moisturizing lotion using padding motion with SHA lotion on my palms. And lastly with FTE and signature cream.

Since you have oily skin on T-zone area, you only need to apply very little of the cream on the area. I hope you are not overwashing your face. Try not to wash more than 2 times per day.

Hi,

I like to get 1 sample of Hada Labo before i get a big botals….can u suggest me?

Hi Abi,

I’m not too sure if they can deliver to Malaysia.

Hi Shirleen,

What do you think of the essence & milk?
How do i go about using them?

Thanks,
CY

Hi Chiew Yen,

Both are not too bad. Here’s the regimen :

Wash > Lotion > Essence (Serum) > Milk

i only use aha+bha cleanser for about a couples of days..i wanna ask if i should or not use the lotion?just curious..
tanx

Hi Nurul,

I guess it’s no harm using the lotion as it may help to provide moisture to your skin.

Hi Shirleen I bought the hada labo white range the cleanser the lotion /toner and the essence..but seems a my face just look clog the next morning but I can tell my skin is hydrated and smooth…I just want to ask what is your regimen on using hada labo..since hada labo don’t have sunscreen on their products what else do you use for your regular basis since you have so very nice skin glowing and poreless please reply soon. thank you.

Hi Marge,

The correct regimen for hada labo is : Wash > Lotion > Essence (Serum) > Milk

For sunscreen, you can check out Clarins UV Plus HP Day Screen SPF 40 or Kiehl’s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50 PA+++.

I have been reviewing a number of new products and have been changing products frequently recently. As of now, I would say that AHA products work great on my skin. Check out AHA products from Paula’s Choice.

thanks Shirleen for reply..just to follow up question can I use AHA cream after the hada labo toner/lotion? or AHA toner the the hada labo lotion? thanks for the reply I really appreciated =)

Hi Marge,

Sure, you can use AHA cream after hada labo lotion.

hi Shirleen,

Saw that you are using Dr Ci:Lo cleanser and may I know have you tried their star product like Aqua Collagen Gel etc as I am interested to buy one? (didnt spot any review on this brand)
And is Paula’s AHA pdts suitable for sensitive skin and where can i buy them in Spore?

Tks v much.

Hi Shirley,

Yes I’ve tried a couple of their products and I’ve tried the Aqua Collagen Gel. I actually love most of their products. Aqua Collagen Gel has a lightweight gel texture and if you like something light and refreshing, this product may be ideal for you. It can be used for day and night. I personally prefer something richer and creamy for the night regimen.

I have sensitive skin too and I’ve been using AHA products for a while. My skin has somewhat adapted to AHA products but if you are using the high-concentration Paula’s Choice AHA products for the first time, I will advise you to start using it twice a week before using it every day. You probably can feel tingling sensation when you first use.

Paula’s Choice products can only be purchased via online. Here’s the link : http://paulaschoice.com.sg/

hi Shirleen,

TQ for your prompt reply!

Oh yes I saw your reviews and the link on the Paula products after wrting you this mail.

Something richer at night do you mean night creams? I also wish to buy richer products at night as I am in my late 30 but so fas has been trying diff brands and yet to settle on a long term brand.

For Dr Cilo This pdt is 5-in-1 acting like a toner + moisturiser + serum + sunscreen + make-up base so I am wondering can I still use toner and serum etc as I am afraid that this item alone might be “insufficient”…a bit “kiasu”..haha.
