Not Sponsored: My good friend from
Little Luxury List Blog, sent me some Asian Skincare products to try the beginning of this year. I'll be reviewing
Hada Labo's Gokujyun Lotion today (it can be purchased in the USA through their
official usa website). She mentioned that this product was beneficial for dry skin, which I definitely have. I love trying Asian skincare and makeup. Its been awhile, but I've tried brands like
Holika Holika,
Skin Food,
Tony Moly and more. Asian skincare hasn't always been easily accessible, but is becoming more so. Asians definitely lead the way (among so many things) when it comes to skincare! Many American and European brands have adopted many of their philosophies. I'll give you a full description for the product below, but to me its like an essence or serum. You cleanse your face, press/pat this solution into the skin and if needed apply a moisturizer. This says "lotion" but in fact it looks like a water solution. It dispenses like droplets of water. It's very lightweight. It feels very hydrating when applied to the skin. It feels very nourishing. There is a little "stick"after applying this product, but it eventually dries down after about 5 minutes. After using this product, my skin looked hydrated and plump. My skin also had a nice glow to it. I'm just starting to try essences and serums, so I don't have a lot to compare this to. I just purchased Fresh's Black Tea Kombucha, but have yet to try it. Hada Labo describes this as a moisturizer! It does moisturize, but again I see it more as an essence or serum. I'm really pleased with my results! Glowing skin. Plumper skin. Soft skin. Nourished skin. Those are really good results. I don't like the little sticky feel that I get in-between the process, but the results outweigh that feeling. The price point for this is also amazing. This can be used either day or night. I'm definitely keeping this on my bathroom counter. As I try other similar products, I will definitely keep you abreast to how they compare. But I love my results and its really good. Don't be afraid to purchase it. Below is the information/directions on their website.
Instantly
hydrate your skin. HADA LABO Goku-jyun Clear Lotion should be used
after washing with HADA LABO Goku-jyun Face Wash and serves as the
foundation to your moisturizing routine. While it looks clear like a
toner or makeup remover, it’s actually a moisturizer that helps prepare
your skin for better absorption of other HADA LABO products. In fact,
the HADA LABO Goku-jyun Clear Lotion can be used as a standalone
moisturizer. Or, if you feel your skin needs additional moisture after
it has absorbed the HADA LABO Goku-jyun Clear Lotion, follow it with the
HADA LABO Goku-jyun Serum, HADA LABO Goku-jyun Milk, or HADA LABO
Goku-jyun Cream—or a combination of all three, depending on the level of
your moisturizing needs.
Instructions for Use: After
removing your makeup and cleansing with HADA LABO Goku-jyun Face Wash,
pour a nickel-size amount of the lotion into your palm and rub between
your hands to warm. Using the HADA LABO patting technique, gently pat
onto your face and neck until it is thoroughly absorbed. Wait until the
product is fully absorbed to apply any additional moisturizers or to
apply makeup. Use twice daily after washing face.
Size: 5.7 Fl oz (170 ml)
