* Milky-Lotion Update* I see a lot of people asking about the 'milky lotion' , 'moisturising milk', 'milk' variety so let me quickly explain - I didn't even think to include it in this video (silly me 🥲) because in Japanese the 'toners' in this video are a completely different product to their 'milky' alternative. Tbh I didn't even know they called them 'milky-lotions' since I always look at product info on their official Japanese website! Lotion (English translation) = Keshousui (Japanese name) = Toner (English product equivalent) Milky Lotion (English translation) = Nyueki (Japanese name) = Emulsion (English product equivalent) Emulsions are quite common in Japanese Skincare since it is a step you can add in between your toner and moisturiser, since it has both water and oil content to bridge that gap. It is great if you want to add more moisture without having to use something heavy, or even for people who have oilier skin and want to skip a moisturiser all together, an emulsion can just be a light textured moisturiser! Hope that clears things up - I didn't realise how many people were interested in the milky version so pls give this comment a thumbs up if you want to see a video dedicated on them in the future!! 💖💖💖
Hi Tina, you forget to include the exfoliating lotion version, the tamagohada mild peeling lotion hada labo. It's a good option for beginner or sensitive skin, and quite famous in my country. Maybe you can include this lotion into your review next time.

@@twinklingni811 No, the plastic packaging is literally the label. You're only supposed to remove the plastic around the cap. Remove everything and you'll get a plain bottle.
Hada Labo is really a brand that is simple, no frills and fragrance-free. The Premium Gokyujun lotion (in gold casing) is really very moisturizing even in the Korean winter, and I am starting to understand why even South Koreans love it.
And they also torture helpless voiceless animals. Course, I don't mean only Japan. Every gat dam country does it. Why not experiment on convicted serial killers, etc? Why r these heinous murderers' given more compassion than innocent fellow creatures? Cuz, we are tribal.
@@Time_to_Stop_Animal_Crueltydo they test in animals?? This is 2023… It’s so ridiculous that some brands still do it (heard Laneige does it, and now I’m sad bc they do have some stuff I like)!
@@Tttt28882 - no kidding. I'm a reluctant liberal (hate both the left & right), but can u believe I read a decent article by a conservative org 🙄. It said, rightfully, that the Progressives (more like Regressives) r obsessed w/petty race/id politics when speciesism/animal issue is what we urgently need to reconcile with! When it comes to how we treat our fellow animals, almost nothing has changed since the medieval days. U wouldn't believe the gruesome lab experiments still going on. I've read about one where 100's of cats were given large dose of Modanifil (I've taken this & it's excruciatingly head pounding), then they were suspended in water or something. If they fell asleep they drown. The cats didn't get to sleep for 30 days out of their will to survive, but they ended up drowning. Wtf is this? Sigh. Why don't they tested on convicted murderers? P. S. The Chinese... their Wuhan market sells live cats & dogs for meat. That's not all, they r beaten & SKINNED ALIVE cuz they believe their unbearable pain makes the meat tenderer... I've heard from the person who told me, he heard the poor animal's screams/cries 😔.
tHE WAY I JUST WATCHED YOUR OLD HADA LABO LOTION GUIDE YESTERDAY ODSGMSKJDHG queen of further contributing to the hada labo brainworms consuming my mind rn!! I LOVE U 🥺💕💕
I saw ur channel to check for japanese skincare and got addicted to ur videos while going through tretinoin medication, and omg i bought ur recommendations and kept my skin glowing, my pores tighter, plumper, and at bay for new pimples. Japanese skincare is super underrated here in PH, so gosh thank u so much ♡
I lived in Japan and must have used hundereds of bottles of both the whitening and premium whitening toners, and continue to use for years. I've tried all the others as well but the whitening and premium whitening range are my HG toners that I always fall back too. I love the ingrediants and also the way they are fragrance, essential oil and alcohol free. I also used the creams from the same line and the 乳液 (lotion, but the cream lotion not the toner.... I don't know what that would be in English lol)
@@Andrew-hr6bu It depends on what ingredients work on your skin. They are both great for sun damaged skin (right here) and of course both have the soy that helps prevent melanin formation.The white has arbutin as a whitening ingredient, while the gold contains tranexamic acid.
Thank you for comparing the Hada Labo lotions (and creams in another video). You are the only youtuber who gave an in depth description of the residue like feeling or lack thereof. That helped me a lot to finally find the perfect cream an lotion for me, as I can't stand a feeling of having cream on my face. I exhausted all the creams in Germany and finally found my holy grail in japan :)
This was incredibly helpful. The HadoLabo lotions always confused me. A couple of years ago I bought the Alpha Arbutin one in error and now, after watching this video, I know which one I need.
I looooooooooove the Hada Labo lotions!!!! After years of treatment serum and exfoliating actives I finally realised that my skin needed first and foremost gentle hydration, now I exfoliate twice a week, use the gokujyun premium before retinoid and my skin is in the best shape ever
I've used the red one consistently for the last 6 months, along with the moisture cream which is like a thick butter for your face. It does help a lot with making your skin look bright!
Hi Tina, this is the best video I have seen on explaining and demonstrating the different types of Hada Labo lotions which can be confusing without translation. It's a great asset when you can read Japanese too, and show us what to watch for on the bottle. Thank you and well done 🌷
Thanks for the update! I use the Hada Labo shirojyun lotions as a vitamin C serum haha (bc my skin usually can’t tolerate vit c!) and was thinking of trying the premium! Excited to hurt my wallet :’)
Hi Tina I just discovered the world of Japanese and Korean products from my two daughters 16 and 17 and I’m fascinated I just bought one of the products that you talk about the blue one and I love it wowed in addition to the sukoyaka suhada urea and cosrx snail mucin this last one had crear my daughter’s face completely from miner breakouts, I love that you take your time to explain everything, definitely will be using your code for all my purchases, new subscriber.
Hi I have the blue premium toner and I have also a daughter of 16 years old can she use this? And my face broke out in the beginning of using it do I have to use a good moisturiser after
I love Hada Labo especially their lotions. Simple with straightforward ingredients, but works really well with other products. In Indonesia, we have 7 types of the lotions which are manufactured locally and distributed in the 100ml sized bottle. They are: - Gokujyun Lotion (white bottle with orange strip) -> Tacky, trigger tiny bumps, my skin becomes oilier. - Gokujyun Light Lotion (white bottle with light green strip) -> Haven't tried it yet. - Shirojyun Lotion (dark blue bottle) -> The very first toner I've tried and LOVE IT 😍. Hydrating without being too much, neither tacky nor greasy. - Gokujyun Alpha Lotion (red bottle) -> Tacky, trigger tiny bumps, my skin becomes oilier and duller. - Tamagohada Mild Peeling Lotion (pale blueish-green bottle) -> This one contains PHA for mild and gentle exfoliation. Another favorite 😍. Help to control my pores and even my skin tones well. - Gokujyun Premium Lotion (gold bottle) -> Absolute favorite 😍. I love the Urea in it, 4th ingredients. - Shirojyun Premium Lotion (darker blue bottle just like in the vid). This one just recently came out in the market so it's still only available in online shops. Haven't tried it yet.
@@snatchthesnitch7935 Lol. I'm not surprised, Hada Labo was hidden gem before finally blew up in 2019-2020 bc of quarantine (suddenly everyone's into skincare). They're more affordable and works well in humid climate here. Also their products are all alcohol+fragrance free which affordable local brands can't relate with their heavily perfumed stuffs.
@@snatchthesnitch7935 Especially can't stand it for their sunscreen products. Tiny amount + crazy high price + old chemical sunscreen filters = busted?! Thanks, but no thanks 😐
I’m surprised there no mention of their milky counterparts! I purchased a shirojyun set that included the milky lotion and I absolutely loved it! Highly suggest
There's one more Hada Labo lotion that I think exclusive to the South East Asian market. Its the Hada Labo Tamagohada Mild Peeling Lotion. Its my favorite too. Its like a very gentle exfoliator. It does comes with cleanser too.
Thank you so much for this! I live in Japan but my Japanese is terrible and I've been meaning to try this line out but was overwhelmed with the selection. This was so helpful!
I remember when I first got into Japanese skincare and saw “whitening” I was like ummm…wtactualf?! I thought I was going to end up looking like Michael Jackson or something 😂 Happy to say that was NOT the case. ❤️ your videos, always enjoyable and thorough! 🙏🏽
Oh no, I have two bottles of HL Gokujyun that I have in hand and they are old version. Okay, I will buy the new version when I finish them! Thanks for the info!
Thank you so much for this very informative video 💕 Would love to know which lotion you use most often! Also, a review of other hada labo products like the foaming cleanser would be super appreciated!
I loved the old video but this is amazing Tina! Thanks for really breaking it down by range, type and the old/new versions. And the tips/tricks for choosing and usage 🥺❤️ it was information packed but so clear and not technical at all
Hi tina!!! I hope you also do all the Milk lotion series and what skin type it is suitable for. Been watching your vlog since I discovered your channel!! I bought all the j-skincare you've recommended and it works perfectly on my acne-prone oily skin! Ive been trying a lot of skincare and none of them works for me, but through you I have finally found the skincare that works for me. You are such a big help!!! ♥♥
Aww I am so glad my recommendations worked well for you 🥺💗💗 Dw I am working on the milk lotions! Haha I have been collecting them bit by bit and pretty sure I have just one missing to complete my collection!
the shirojyun premium is now available here too (Indonesia) and yeaaa, arbutin is gone and changed with tranexamic acid. but don't know about shirojyun reguler version, may be next i'll try it because the packaging is also changed here
Great video. I was surprised that you didn't mention one of the key benefits of the Gold Premium bottle - the inclusion of 3% urea! Urea is fabulous for adding hydration. I'm wondering whether the blue Premium bottle also includes urea (and if that's why it's also called Premium)?
Absolutely no toner has been able to hydrate my skin like the hada labo lotions. I've ran out of my refills now and I'm using other toners and they're great but no way as hydrating. I have really dry, flaky prone skin lol and I know when I'm finished with my current toners I'm going back to hada labo. Also the high moist toner from cezanne.
9:54 regular- hittori/ Rich- tranaxamic Acid (prevention) 10:11 premium range - tranaxamic acid+ licorice root extract (recover from hyperpigmentation) 10:50 penetrate more. 11:52 Invest in serum if hyperpigmentation is your concern
I just bought a premium shirojyun light version for hyperpigmentation but i don't remember if it's the old or new version, i guess the old one, so thank you so much for this video! They should hire you at hada Labo as a lotion specialist or something hahahah you're the best Tina thank you 🙏🏻✨
Very thorough review! I have the gokujyun premium with the gold cap. I wanted to love it but it dries my skin out. Tried it by itself on clean dry skin, tried on damp skin, tried following it with my serums & moisturizer. It felt good when I applied it but hours later/next day my face wld always feel extra dry. It also caused irritation on my neck, it was red & almost a scaly texture. Then I tried it on my body after showering on damp skin & followed with my regular moisturizer. Hours later my skin started feeling itchy. I applied it to clean damp hair followed by a leave-in conditioner and my usual styling products. The next day my hair felt extra dry. Maybe I'll try the aging one in the red bottle.
I'm a fan of the Premium lotion and l'm looking forward to using the new version. But I do feel all the changes to the formulas and labels (although good) are just to cater to the western market.
It’s my first time watching your videos and I have to tell you how UTTERLY THANKFUL I am that you made these! I have been using Japanese skin care for over a decade and never realised how much I was missing out just because I’m not fluent in Japanese. I had been Hada Labo lotions for years because they were so recommended to me without knowing exactly how to use it as there was no in-depth guide back then so I appreciate it so much more now that you have equipped me with the proper information on how best to use them and maximise their ingredients… so thank you so much from Montréal! I will be watching your other videos now!
I also like Kohakuhada xYamano lotion ameber extract lotion it is also Japanese brand it has natural ingredients. I can't read Japanese it all covered in Japanese only line in English amber skin natural beauty 😍 it is very moisturizing. Randomly found it in an Asian beauty store where I live.
Toner = lotion?? Okay now that clears the confusion I had during the previous video about hada labo lotions 😂 I thought maybe that's just how japanese lotions look like hahaha okay now I understand >
Hi there! I bought a Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium from Stylevana and the colour of the lotion is white. The packaging is the new version and at the back it says whitening milk. Is it a different bottle altogether? Can I still use it as a toner or like a moisturizer?
Yaay! Was hoping for this content. Saw your previous video on this and since then they indeed relaunched so this is so helpful and interesting. Thank you!
Dehydrated and dry skin are not the same, and should be treated as such. Dehydrated has more to do with your insides and you not drinking enough water during the day, than dry skin which is an actual skin type. Dehydrated is just a condition… I should know, I used to have dehydrate for years, and people mistook it as dry. It also resulted in combination oily skin because it didn’t get enough water, nor moisture. I was also a smoker and drank during the weekends. Which didn’t help. When I started drinking water several times a day, stopped smoking and used a moisturizer, my skin did a total 360.
I’m so confused by these lotions. 😂 I love the one the sell in Europe but not sure what version that equates to in the original Japanese range. If anyone knows, I’d love to know! I’ve just accidentally bought the Gokujyun Premium Milk, I’ve been quite impressed by that to be fair!
these variations are quite gimmicky given how much water they contain. hydration is the main function and for that the premium version is the most cost effective.
Nooo, why did they take out the arbutin in the Shirojyun line? 😔. Arbutin was one of the most gentle skin brightening ingredients that would not irritate my sensitive skin 😔
Thank u for the update. You actually influenced me in purchasing this Japanese lotion brand and I'm loving it. Question, would you still apply a skin conditioner before using the Hada Labo lotions?
A skin conditioner is still considered a toner in Japan although usually has ingredients to help 'condition the skin' as I said in the video = help with breakouts so you can definitely use both if you wanted to (I'd recommend wipe of with the skin conditioner, then palm-applying the Hada Labo lotion) but it is not NECESSARY to use both if that makes sense!
After using this toner does we can use a serum or not? Will it be beneficial? I've a sensitive + combo skin. Actually I haven't try any J beauty products. So kinda confused tho....
Hi Tina! The Hada Labo Premium Whitening Lotion sold in my country seems to have alpha arbutin, niacinamide and 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid as its active ingredients. Do you know if this is a different formula sold only in specific countries while globally the one sold is the one mentioned in your video, with licorice root extract and tranexamic acid as its actives?
I just received mine from Stylevana and the Gold one it looks like a cream it's not transparent. Is that normal? It's literally a cream in a bottle. Please help
I was disappointed when I found out they've reformulated the basic lotion toner (the first one you showed) when I went into the Asian skincare shop, but I was advised to try the new formulation and I'm more obsessed with the new one actually.
Thank you! Being Japanese American, I can read only elementary school Japanese level so these type of labels are incredibly hard for me to decipher. This video helped immensely. ありがとう✌️
Hi, I was reading some reviews on Amazon, someone says that the product she purchased had an sticker that said that some of the ingredients can cause cancer...☹☹ any information about that..?! 🤔 tks..! 😇
Thank you! Got myself the Shiroyjun Premium Moist. Been using it day and night for a week, skin feels hydrated and my skin tone is brighter now. Grateful I found your channel. Got tired of reading soo many blogs and viewing vlogs but I end up with products that dont work. Nadya, Brunei xx
Hey I'm from India . I want to buy Japanese skincare products from Amazon Japan. Can you please provide links to buy authentic products. The products them I'm looking for are naturie hatumogi skin conditioner, melano cc vit c , biore Aqua rich watery essence sunscreen, kose softymo speedy cleansing oil(the pink bottle)
I know this is late 😃 and I have a question? Is it okay for me to layer: 1. hydrating lotion (light) (white bottle) 2. Premium hydrating lotion (light) 3. Blemish and oil control tips on skin care routine routine is always welcome 😅
Could you do a review of the hada labo gokujyun premium anti aging lotion? It's a new product (I think) and that's why I can't find reviews, besides you explain it very well

Dw I am working on the milk lotions! Haha I have been collecting them bit by bit and pretty sure I have just one missing to complete my collection!
@@TinaTanakaHarris ♥♥♥♥ ill wait and im so excited!!! Thank you for giving us all the infos we needed!!
the shirojyun premium is now available here too (Indonesia) and yeaaa, arbutin is gone and changed with tranexamic acid. but don't know about shirojyun reguler version, may be next i'll try it because the packaging is also changed here
and btw shirojyun here just 1 version (light reguler and light premium), hopefully they'll launch the richer shirojyun like Japanese version
Great video. I was surprised that you didn't mention one of the key benefits of the Gold Premium bottle - the inclusion of 3% urea! Urea is fabulous for adding hydration. I'm wondering whether the blue Premium bottle also includes urea (and if that's why it's also called Premium)?
Absolutely no toner has been able to hydrate my skin like the hada labo lotions. I've ran out of my refills now and I'm using other toners and they're great but no way as hydrating. I have really dry, flaky prone skin lol and I know when I'm finished with my current toners I'm going back to hada labo. Also the high moist toner from cezanne.
Thank you Tina! This was very helpful. I just learned I've been using the wrong Hada Labo lotion. lol

I never got into the Hada Labo lotions because I never knew which one to try out. Thank you for the informative video! Love you Tina^^
I just bought a premium shirojyun light version for hyperpigmentation but i don't remember if it's the old or new version, i guess the old one, so thank you so much for this video! They should hire you at hada Labo as a lotion specialist or something hahahah you're the best Tina thank you 🙏🏻✨
Very thorough review! I have the gokujyun premium with the gold cap. I wanted to love it but it dries my skin out. Tried it by itself on clean dry skin, tried on damp skin, tried following it with my serums & moisturizer. It felt good when I applied it but hours later/next day my face wld always feel extra dry. It also caused irritation on my neck, it was red & almost a scaly texture. Then I tried it on my body after showering on damp skin & followed with my regular moisturizer. Hours later my skin started feeling itchy. I applied it to clean damp hair followed by a leave-in conditioner and my usual styling products. The next day my hair felt extra dry. Maybe I'll try the aging one in the red bottle.
Thanks for this video!!!! So informational
I'm a fan of the Premium lotion and l'm looking forward to using the new version. But I do feel all the changes to the formulas and labels (although good) are just to cater to the western market.
please do a review on Sana's Namerakahonpo lotions too!! it seems quite popular in Japan but I haven't seen anyone do a full review.
Hey, could anyone recommend me a moisturizer to pair with gokujyun trouble care (green bottle)?
It’s my first time watching your videos and I have to tell you how UTTERLY THANKFUL I am that you made these! I have been using Japanese skin care for over a decade and never realised how much I was missing out just because I’m not fluent in Japanese. I had been Hada Labo lotions for years because they were so recommended to me without knowing exactly how to use it as there was no in-depth guide back then so I appreciate it so much more now that you have equipped me with the proper information on how best to use them and maximise their ingredients… so thank you so much from Montréal! I will be watching your other videos now!
Omg I just watched your old hadalabo video the other day! So excited to see an updated version.
I really need to know how will i know when will the product expire or the shelf life coz i can't understand the japanese at all
After work I headed off to the pharmacy to purchase the 極潤プレミアム(the gold one ). I can't wait to use it! Thanks for making the video🙂
Thanks Tina! I love Stylevana❤️
I also like Kohakuhada xYamano lotion ameber extract lotion it is also Japanese brand it has natural ingredients. I can't read Japanese it all covered in Japanese only line in English amber skin natural beauty 😍 it is very moisturizing. Randomly found it in an Asian beauty store where I live.
Amazing video
This sole video by itself deserves an instant sub to your channel.
I actually subscribed to her channel because of her previous Hada labo video!
Thank you for the lovely video! 😍 Just a question, how will we know the expiration date of the product? Thank you.
Could you do video about hair products and hair care ? Xxx
Wonder if you ever review their cream/gel?? Really looking for it as well as SANA
Toner = lotion?? Okay now that clears the confusion I had during the previous video about hada labo lotions 😂 I thought maybe that's just how japanese lotions look like hahaha okay now I understand >
The yellow one saved my skin when I messed up my skin barrier! Love it.
Hi there! I bought a Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium from Stylevana and the colour of the lotion is white. The packaging is the new version and at the back it says whitening milk. Is it a different bottle altogether? Can I still use it as a toner or like a moisturizer?
That one you bought would be an emulsion so more like a moisturiser - check out the pinned comment I just wrote with a quick explanation!
@@TinaTanakaHarris Thank you very much for the info! :)
oh em. haha Thank God I saw this video. Never thought that Lotion is their term for Toner :) so informative
Yaay! Was hoping for this content. Saw your previous video on this and since then they indeed relaunched so this is so helpful and interesting. Thank you!
Dehydrated and dry skin are not the same, and should be treated as such. Dehydrated has more to do with your insides and you not drinking enough water during the day, than dry skin which is an actual skin type. Dehydrated is just a condition… I should know, I used to have dehydrate for years, and people mistook it as dry. It also resulted in combination oily skin because it didn’t get enough water, nor moisture. I was also a smoker and drank during the weekends. Which didn’t help. When I started drinking water several times a day, stopped smoking and used a moisturizer, my skin did a total 360.
I’m so confused by these lotions. 😂 I love the one the sell in Europe but not sure what version that equates to in the original Japanese range. If anyone knows, I’d love to know!
I’ve just accidentally bought the Gokujyun Premium Milk, I’ve been quite impressed by that to be fair!
these variations are quite gimmicky given how much water they contain. hydration is the main function and for that the premium version is the most cost effective.
Nooo, why did they take out the arbutin in the Shirojyun line? 😔. Arbutin was one of the most gentle skin brightening ingredients that would not irritate my sensitive skin 😔
I knowwwww, I kinda wish they kept the Arbutin in Shirojyun too as it was my go-to 🥺
Thank u for the update. You actually influenced me in purchasing this Japanese lotion brand and I'm loving it. Question, would you still apply a skin conditioner before using the Hada Labo lotions?
A skin conditioner is still considered a toner in Japan although usually has ingredients to help 'condition the skin' as I said in the video = help with breakouts so you can definitely use both if you wanted to (I'd recommend wipe of with the skin conditioner, then palm-applying the Hada Labo lotion) but it is not NECESSARY to use both if that makes sense!
can hada labo shirojyun premium Tranexamic acid version remove melasma?
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ are these toners vegan and free from animal derivatives
thanks for this vid so informative and helpfull! anyway does the red bottle one hasn't the premium version like gokujyun and shirojyun?
I want to try them so bad but I’m terrified of buying things online. 💀
Thank you so much!
Thank you 🥰🥰
After using this toner does we can use a serum or not? Will it be beneficial? I've a sensitive + combo skin. Actually I haven't try any J beauty products. So kinda confused tho....
you can use a serum if you want to
Oh no! I love the arbutin line. :(
Hi Tina! The Hada Labo Premium Whitening Lotion sold in my country seems to have alpha arbutin, niacinamide and 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid as its active ingredients. Do you know if this is a different formula sold only in specific countries while globally the one sold is the one mentioned in your video, with licorice root extract and tranexamic acid as its actives?
I just received mine from Stylevana and the Gold one it looks like a cream it's not transparent. Is that normal? It's literally a cream in a bottle. Please help
I was disappointed when I found out they've reformulated the basic lotion toner (the first one you showed) when I went into the Asian skincare shop, but I was advised to try the new formulation and I'm more obsessed with the new one actually.
Thank you! Being Japanese American, I can read only elementary school Japanese level so these type of labels are incredibly hard for me to decipher. This video helped immensely. ありがとう✌️
Where I can find Hadalabo products in Narita or Tokyo ?
Can I use the whitening lotion on my hands and arms? They have darkened a lot due to sun damage.
Hi, I was reading some reviews on Amazon, someone says that the product she purchased had an sticker that said that some of the ingredients can cause cancer...☹☹ any information about that..?! 🤔 tks..! 😇
Probably talking about the golden bottle which has mineral oil
Thank you for the update, Ms. Tina! ♥
hello tina!! thanks for the review its helpful! have u heard of hada labo kouji line? i'd like to know ur opinions on it 😆😆
I havne't! It's not one that is available in Japan 🤭
Thank you! Just bought toner for the first time ever using your guide and my skin improved the next morning!!!! Subscribed!
Thank you! Got myself the Shiroyjun Premium Moist. Been using it day and night for a week, skin feels hydrated and my skin tone is brighter now. Grateful I found your channel. Got tired of reading soo many blogs and viewing vlogs but I end up with products that dont work.
Nadya, Brunei xx
May I know which colour range are u using?
Hi Serena, it’s the blue coloured jar ☺️
such a great guide! loved your first video so thank you so much for the updated version
How often do I use the hada labo shiroyjun alpha arbutin?
Hey I'm from India . I want to buy Japanese skincare products from Amazon Japan. Can you please provide links to buy authentic products. The products them I'm looking for are naturie hatumogi skin conditioner, melano cc vit c , biore Aqua rich watery essence sunscreen, kose softymo speedy cleansing oil(the pink bottle)
I know this is late 😃 and I have a question? Is it okay for me to layer:
1. hydrating lotion (light) (white bottle)
2. Premium hydrating lotion (light)
3. Blemish and oil control
tips on skin care routine routine is always welcome 😅
Can I use those lotions without a moisturizer?
does the SHIROJYUN Premium one help with breakouts like the normal one does?
Hi! I would like to ask if any of these products is good for sensitive skin? And if there is, what color would it be? Tlhank you 😊😊
I discovered your channel with your first video on this and it helped me decide which ones are for me. Thanks so much for updating!
Could you do a review of the hada labo gokujyun premium anti aging lotion? It's a new product (I think) and that's why I can't find reviews, besides you explain it very well
I have a blue bottle with milky texture..white lotion like..pls help someone..was i tricked ?
