Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion Moist Review

I heard about the cult Japanese skincare brand, Hada Labo, from a Pixiwoo video and then from reading Caroline Hirons' blog. Generally a good starting point. I was on the lookout for a bit of extra hydration for my super oily but dehydrated skin, so this was an easy yes for me.

Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion Moist is a super light, very thin, non-viscous hyaluronic acid lotion. Hyaluronic acid acts as a humectant moisturiser (slowing down water loss from the skin's surface, essentially) so won't overload easily worried complexions. In my experience, this is a quickly absorbed, post-cleanse pre-moisturiser hydrating step - particularly good for dehydrated faces like mine. I really think this has made a difference to my skin in the last few weeks - I'm noticing fewer signs of dehydration, and in our recent hot weather, this is a dream to apply without overloading the skin. It absorbs rapidly and sits well under makeup/other products.

For daytime, I use this after my Disciple Balancing Mist and before SPF (the one of choice at the moment being the excellent Skin Defence from the Body Shop). At night, I use it before heavier oils or creams, and it's definitely a keeper for me.

Oh, and the bottle will last you approximately 2.5 million years. It's a bargain.
