Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion (Regular) Review


Rating: 

Pros
  • Lightweight, colourless and watery lotion that absorbs fast
  • Leaves skin soft and supple right after
  • Fragrance-free, alcohol-free
  • Readily available at drugstores
  • Refill packs available

Cons
  • Although it absorbs fast, there will be an immediate "sticky" feeling after application. This will go away eventually.
  • No pump or applicator 
  • Hydration doesn't last all day
  • Refill packs aren't easy to find in Singapore's drugstores

Personal thoughts
  • I wouldn't say this is the best toner around but it does a decent job and I've been using this for a couple of years.
  • My skin is soft and supple right after; a great kick-start to my skincare regime.
  • Hydrating effect isn't as promising as advertised. For me this doesn't last past mid-day. I'll need a good moisturiser to complement. 
  • I understand there are 3 versions of lotion for different skin types; Regular (this review) for dry/normal skin, Light for oily/combi skin, Premium (slightly pricier) for very dry skin.
  • "Sticky" feeling after application isn't a big issue here. It will go away pretty fast. I cup my face with my palms after application and this helps to press the product in better :) 
  • Till I find a more lasting and hydrating toner at comparable price point, this is a product worth mentioning!
