After seeing many good reviews, plus testing from the sample given to me like months back, I finally decided to purchase some product from Hada Labo, a brand from Japan.
So, here's my pick
From left to right:
Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) Moisturizing face wash, AHA/BHA face wash, SHA Moisturizing Lotion, SHA Moisturizing Cream, SHA Moist Mist.
Well, maybe people who not familiar with Hada Labo might wonder why did I bought 2 kinds of face wash, or both lotion and cream. So here's the reason why. Im using SHA Moisturizing face wash as my daily cleanser, while the AHA/BHA face wash is a substitution for scrub, since it exfoliate skins. SHA Moisturizing Lotion act as toner, while the SHA Moisturizing cream, is obviously a moisturizer.
What about the moist mist? It is to be used whenever your skin need extra hydration while in air-cond room or anywhere, and the best thing is, it can be used over make up without melting it. Plus the size is very convenient to bring inside handbags.
As I already using some of the products for couple of weeks, Im gonna throw in some short review in this post.
The SHA face wash:
So far I like it. It doesnt make my skin dry of course due to the SHA ingredients. And it never cause any break outs to me, plus this is the only scentless face wash that Im using so far, which is great.
AHA/BHA face wash:
Love love love this. I feel my skin smoother everytime I washing my face with this product. It really exfoliate well, and I think I dont need to use any scrub anymore. Scrub always irritates my skin anyway. So this is a very good replacement over scrub. And it scentless too. But please take note that you need to use a sunscreen product incase you washing your face using this during day. Thats one of the reason why I only using this at night, since I dont really wear sunscreen, accept for my bb cream.
SHA Lotion:
Another love from SHA range. Infact, this is the best selling product for Hada Labo. 1 bottle sold every 4 seconds in Japan. Wow. I love how it hydrates my skin very well. I can feel some rough surface on my skin subsides a bit when using this lotion. But remember to pat it instead of applying it straight to the skin, because if you dont pat, it will remain sticky on your face. Like the face wash, this is scentless too.
SHA Cream:
There is another version of this product, called SHA Moisturizing Milk, which is in milky lotion form. But I heard quite of reviews saying that it can become too sticky and runny, thus I choose the new cream form instead. It not greasy at all, scentless. But dont put too much, especially for those with oily skin as it may remain sticky. This product also need to be patted on skin instead of straight applying it using your hand to our face.
Love this. My face tends to dry in air-cond room, thus this is my problem solver for my case. And it wont melt in your make up too!
Hada Labo product can be bought exclusively at Guardian for Malaysia market. I got 10% discount on my purchases so if you want to get the discounted price, you better be hurry.
And one more thing, Hada Labo that been sold in Malaysia, are made in China, instead of Japan. However, they are manufactured with high quality control, so no worries. But for those who really want it to be made in Japan, you might need to order it from Japan Spree, or purchasing it at Singapore (seems like they selling made in Japan hada labo there). Get ready to pay more though.
Update: After using the AHA/BHA face wash for quite awhile, I noticed that it kinda dried up my skin as Im using it frequent. And dry skin makes my skin break out. So now I guess I'll try to just use it 3 times per week and see how it goes.
