Hada Labo Tokyo™ Super Hydrator Lotion RRP £17.99 & Gentle Hydrating Cleanser RRP £14.49 Sample Review

 

I have reviewed this brand before (I think from memory I put it in the press) and so, upon receiving samples of some different products, having liked them before I wanted to spend some time on a write up.

My issue with brands that are stocked in large shops such as Superdrug (as this one is), is that often they can go overlooked. There are so many brands to choose from, that many people I speak to just stick to the same common brands without giving others any attention. This is a shame as often the ingredients and quality are just as good as the more 'glass cabinet' expensive brands.  Thankfully this brand does have pretty packaging and thus does place itself competitively amongst other skincare lines, as packaging is the first thing we see!

Hada Labo Tokyo™ is Japan's number 1 skin care line. Hada Labo is Japanese for 'Skin Laboratory', it has a huge following and this is down to it's patented formula of 'Super Hyaluronic Acid™'. Those who know their ingredients, will know that hyaluronic acid is the key ingredient used in most skin care as it gives the 'holy grail of youth'. It's hydrating properties plump and rehydrate saggy, aging conditions as well as improving skin tones, and gives skin that much needed elasticity to make it look and feel more youthful.

Gentle Hydrating cleanser All-In-One 150ml

The Gentle Hydrating Cleanser is a creamy cleanser, that immediately emulsifies into a light lather. You only need the smallest amount to give the face a thorough cleanser, removing impurities, bacteria and make up.  It's ideal for all skin types, especially sensitive, oily and those who suffer with hormonal imbalances. It's fragrant free and so won't irritate or flare up skin that suffers from acne, rosacea, eczema etc. 

Skin is left feeling refreshed, soft and most importantly without that tight feeling. One key ingredient is 'Lauric Acid', an ingredient that is often added to skin care for it's antimicrobial properties, useful for protecting skin against bacterial infections and preventing spots and blackheads. The 150ml tube will last a good few months, making this a cleanser that is excellent value for money.

Super Hydrator Anti-Aging Lotion 150ml

This amazing hydrator does exactly what its supposed to do and that is instantly hydrates the skin. It is not a 'moisturizer' as such, more of a light, watery serum that disappears as soon as its on the skin. It makes skin feel immediately supple and is like a drink for thirsty skin. 

The clear liquid is ideal for giving skin that much needed moisture, if it's feeling tight, had too much sun, been under air conditioning or heating, been outdoors in the wind, or you have those tiny fine dehydration lines. The patented Super Hyaluronic Acid™ ingredient means that it not only instantly makes a visible difference, but the smaller molecules get into the deeper layers of the skin and so work from the inside out, repairing and protecting the skin from environmental aggressors.

The clear lotion consistency means it can be applied before or after make up or on it's own. It's one of Japan's best selling skin care products and, now thankfully we can get it over here!  Check out the other incredible reviews, alongside other products here at Superdrug
