A couple of years back I got a bunch of Hada Labo Gokujyun Clear Lotion samples from Manning (drugstore in HongKong) and after going through the samples I am completely hooked. This product is licensed by Rohto Pharmaceuticals Japan and manufactured by The Mentholatum Company
Price:
~$140 HKD which is about $20 CAD. You can also find this product on Amazon for ~$15 USD
Claims:
Instantly hydrate your skin. HADA LABO Goku-jyun Clear Lotion should be used after washing with HADA LABO Goku-jyun Face Wash and serves as the foundation to your moisturizing routine. While it looks clear like a toner or makeup remover, it’s actually a moisturizer that helps prepare your skin for better absorption of other HADA LABO products. In fact, the HADA LABO Goku-jyun Clear Lotion can be used as a standalone moisturizer. Or, if you feel your skin needs additional moisture after it has absorbed the HADA LABO Goku-jyun Clear Lotion, follow it with the HADA LABO Goku-jyun Serum, HADA LABO Goku-jyun Milk, or HADA LABO Goku-jyun Cream—or a combination of all three, depending on the level of your moisturizing needs -- Information credit goes to: http://hadalabousa.com/products/moisturizing/
Benefits after test:
- Super moisturising! I have very allergic and sensitive skin. I have dry red patches on my cheeks and when I apply this lotion it feels great! For my dry skin, I couldn't get away with just having this on. I usually add a moisturiser on top
Texture:
- Clear liquid that is on a thicker side
- Non sticky
Will I purchase this again?
Yes yes yes! I have been in search for a moisturising toner for the longest time and this product really met my needs. In addition it does not irritate my sensitive skin.
Where can I buy this product?
- As noted above this product is available on Amazon.com
- If you are in HongKong you can get it at the drugstore like Manning and Watson
- If you are in Toronto, this product is available in T&T supermarket's beauty section
