Hi Sarah, yes , this is my current toner in the morning routine 🙌🏼🤗I do find it “milky” as the product description says but is great. I bought it especially for the Arbutin so I won’t have to add another separate Arbutin serum. But I got the refill 😉 worked out cheaper by couple of £ ( in UK ) and I have decanted in another empty bottle . Now, this is a first time I know something that you were unsure of 💪🏼 The reason why the Japanese products have the extra sticky label in the lid or at the top of the bottle is because that shows how many times that product has won the Best of the year award . You will see a number and like a little golden crown in it ☺️
Is there a Hada Labo product that isn't good? Seriously, every product of theirs I've used has been serious holy grail potential. Also, an easy way to visually decipher between Japanese and Korean, Korean has many many more circles in their characters, and Japanese characters can get very complex with lots of strokes. That's how I always tell and it hasn't failed me once lol.
I have use this one (with alpha arbutin), the dark blue lotion (with Tranexemic acid), and the gold/yellow one (diff kinds of Hyluronic acids). Definitely a great product and made a big difference in the hydration of my skin (I know that because when I stopped using for a week, my skin was like a prune). The same product comes in different texture, and you can actually mix them together. So I mixed the tranexemic light lotion (dark blue pkg) with the hyluronic acid premium (gold pkg) to get the texture I getting the benefit of both.
Sorry those ones I was referring to in my comment are the ‘toner’ version in this same line. I have tried the milky lotion one you are reviewing as well but I prefer the lighter ‘toner’ texture you just need to splash it on. The packaging in this line of hado labo product are very confusing as they have sooooo many versions and variations, unless you read japanese, it’s hard to differentiate.
@@tinasung3814 I prefer the toners as well but the moist versions (shittori type) and the premium line with Tranexamic Acid seems to be more effective on me. I really noticed my skin to be brighter and more even but arbutin is still good to prevent production of melanin.
I’ve got the tranexamic acid version! I use it before my moisturizer or sometimes instead of it when it’s hot and humid. I like it so far and it lasts many months-as you said, a little goes really a long way!
Really wonderful products- Hada Labo knows what they are doing, and this is the perfect amount of hydration and plays well with most other products. Really love their toner and lotion product lines!
I love Hada Labo but I tend to prefer their toning lotions (the shittori ones) over the milky lotions, I think they layer more easily and can be used immediately after cleansing on damp skin. I am currently using the arbutin lotion in the morning and tranexamic acid one in the evening. Honestly they should just mix them together and have a single brightening line instead of keeping arbutin and tranexamic acid on separated products. Having said that, the creams from these two lines are bad. Not occlusive or thick enough and very shiny/oily. But overall you can't go wrong with hada labo, very simple but highly moisturizing formulas.
I couldn't agree with you more- having one brightening product would be much better for consumers- especially consumers with different types of pigmentation/brightening issues. I'd much rather have a mix of brightening ingredients than have to choose between which one it use.
Hada Labo is such an under-rated brand. I love all their milky lotions! They keep changing their formulations though. The one I have contains Tranexamic Acid instead of Arbutin.
It does seem like the changes things very often. Missha does the same thing Werth a lot of their products and it gets a little annoying. I get they want to "upgrade " them but sometimes I'd rather just have the version I used before.
Shirojyun line has arbutin while shirojyun premium line has tranexamic acid. I think the premium line is more effective on me but arbutin is potentially more suitable for the AM so I am currently using both of them.
@@philippillis9393 does hada labo shirojyun premiun has light and moist version bro i need light version but it's so hard to understand which one is light and which one is moist can you help me
The moist versions have the word "rich" mentioned at the back of the packaging (near the top) in Japanese. Whereas, the light version will not mention it. You can use that to differentiate between the two Shinryojin lotions. Tina Tanaka Harris made a detailed video on all Hada Labo versions and she pointed this out because she can read Japanese. I use the moist version and its so light like a splash of water even in humid summer months in Pakistan. And I'm an oily gal! Good luck with finding the light version! @@priyamalik13
I love it, specially it's brightening property, it worked magic on my hyperpigmentation, but it came back once I stopped. i 😍it. Thanks for reviewing it.
Someone said you are hiding the label! Umm..hiding the label of a product you are reviewing and saying the brand, not to mention it can be found in the description box? REALLY? Another utuber I watch (Canadian) was criticized for giving U.S. prices only. This is too much! You keep being you my dear!
I’ve tried slight variations of this and have absolutely adored every silky smooth emollient drop 💦💙💕!! I need to look into them again! And as far you hiding labels, please 🙄! I don’t know how how much more you could show your products (plus all the details & links below) other than having camera man zooming in exclusively on them and skipping you altogether which the legions of fans would revolt over I’m pretty sure lol! Anyway awesome review 🙂. Thanks.
Lol, we kinda tried that route at first, my *really* old videos were just the products and no face or me. I guess you gotta start somewhere but thinking of those old videos makes me shutter!!
off topic 😭 my dermatologist just prescribed me tretinoin and some other boring stuff and told me to stop all my skincare and stick to the prescription…. which feels like I just had my favorite toy taken away from me 🤣🤦♀️ Now watching videos like that is a torture lol
Oh no, you're going through withdrawal! I'm only kinda joking, too! Once your skin gets used to it you'll probably be able to slowly add products back in your routine based on what you need. Might need to replace that addiction for something else. Knitting?!? Fencing!?!?
I'm so interested in trying this brand but the labeling is a little overwhelming to me. I don't know if there's any English on the label or something I have to look up info about. Thanks for another great video!
I love the texture of this, it's like a 'fat water, only better. It did break me out so I decided it might help me fade some sun spots on my neckline. Not so, because it irritates me, my neck is too sensitive. Now I'm trying other things with niacinamide and soon jung creme with panthenol in it.
Hi Sarah I think I'm the only one that doesn't really like Hada Labo, but my skin just isn't keen on a load of HA tbh. I haven't tried this particular product, but the products I have tried haven't worked for me. I'm super dry/sensitive though and live in Scotland. Instead i'm trialling some of the Curel line - the cleanser and the rich toner. Just started with them this week, but no issues with irritation on my rosacea and eczema prone skin. the gel cleanser/makeup remover takes off makeup pretty well (although I always double cleanse) and the rich toner feels like thick water - it is very liquid, but feels like it has some substance to it. I'll try the cleansing oil soon. I'm still patch testing TO 8% Asc acid and arbutin, but so far so good - no irritation on patch testing identified. Best wishes.
I'm not big into HA either, I'll include in but I don't seek it out, that's for sure, and it is everything these days. Really enjoy some of hada labos cleansers and their toners that are fragrance free.
@@NOBSBeauty I haven't tried the cleansers, but the lotion/toners don't work for me - nor do the sheet masks. I get rebound dehydration from them and sometimes irritation. In the Winter especially, but i tried a sheet mask lately in the humid weather we've been having (90% humidity) and felt dry afterwards (despite using a moisturiser over the top). I don't know what it is about the brand as the INCI lists look absolutely fine, but it's a no from me. I'm in the minority though and that's fine, as I'm happy it works so well for pretty much everyone else. x
I love 💘this brand...been using it for a few years now... know most of their products!!!... fragrance free!!!.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣..JAPAN!!!!!Sarah!!.. shame on you!!!!😁😁😁😁...I find most of their products great for the winter months!!...and love also the price point 😃
😂😂😂 I don't know why... I always think korea when I think Hada Labo... going to have to try to remember it, but even when I went to post the review I almost put it into the kbeauty playlist.
Oof for a second i thought i bought a fake product, after seeing the consistency of the one you're using. BUT...i double checked, and i have the emulsion and not the lotion like yours. Very similar packaging. Mine is more of a bit watery milk.
i never had good luck with arbutin even in serum form bc i never see the difference but the toner legit change my mind and i bought it not expecting much cuz i use it for hydration but wow
Have u seen the inn beauty project acid toner and that green jelly serum looks really interesting but idk how I feel about the brand cause it's like all good reviews and mostly free sample or gifted only a few people acually bought it but the ingredients seem to be pretty good on them. People are just being nit picky on the label covering you do a great job with ur reviews.
I'm going to have to check that out- it does seem like they have sent out a ton of stuff for free reviews- getting so tired of it. The influenster stuff is out of control. I liked their slushy serum, I would have liked it better if it didn't have the fragrance, but other than that they seem to be pretty nicely formulated.
I didnt know u did a reveiw on this somehow I missed it and it popped up . I just ordered this it will be here this week. I just learned what all the differnt colors are for..lol this is my first hado labo product. Well I guess I did watch this I just saw my comment..lmafo my brain isn't working I guess🤣
You'll have to let me know how you like it- I should do a video comparing all the toners- I think I have them all, the red one I've used a little, but not as much as the others.
This has vitamin c derivative so can this be with retinol at night? It might not have high of concerntration of vitamin derivative so I think it’s ok right ?
Pull that lazy Susan out of the spice cabinet and put your product on it. Maybe some jazzy disco lights to hilight the name?? Haha. Sorry for the rant but I just do not understand these gimme-gimme types. You are my fav.
I wish they were cruelty free :( Man. I can’t but from them, I just can’t compromise my morals. You abuse and use animals, you’re essentially gross and horrible. Ugh. I want to use their products so bad lol.
because this brand is not cruelty free it’s a firm pass for me (why should animals have to suffer for our skin products ? 🐰🐭🐇😒 ) Fortunately there are a lot of good brands that are cruelty free !
I could be wrong but from what little I know the hada labo sold in Japan is cruelty free but the ones sold in China aren’t. Not sure why there are 2 varieties for 2 markets 🤷🏻♀️
Hada labo is cruelty free but the items sold in China are required by the Chinese government to pass animal testing. The problem is China that still requires animal testining for most of cosmetic products that are produced abroad. Also keep in mind hada labo is owned by Rohto mentholatum which is a pharmaceutical company that produces drugs so they still do animal testing. Unfortunately unless we ban animal testing entirely and switch to in vivo testing on humans and testing on stem cells produced tissue it's something that can't be avoided unfortunately.
