Q: How much did you buy Hada Labo Perfect Gel for?

A: I bought it during my trip to Bangkok trip for around THB 200 (S$8).

Q: Why did you decide to try this Hada Labo Perfect Gel?
A: On Hada Labo's official website, this product claims to have 5 functions: lotion, milk, cream, serum and mask. Because it comes in a sample size, it is a great way to try new product. Plus, I have always love Hada Labo's products.

Q: How long have you been using this moisturizer? 
A:  I used it for two weeks, day and night, when I was in the United States.

Q: What do you like about this product? 
A: Hada Labo Perfect Gel is lightweight. Like all the other Hada Labo products, my skin did not suffer breakouts or adverse reaction because of it. The texture of Hada Labo Perfect Gel is similar to that Laneige Gel Cream_EX. The texture is also similar to Fresh Rose Hydrating Gel Cream, though Fresh Gel Cream is more moisturizing. 

Q: What do you want to improve about this product?
A: It is not what it claims to be. It claims to hydrate with a long-lasting effect. Hada Labo Perfect Gel's moisturizing power is not that great. From the information provided about the product, I thought that it would be only good to use at night, but I can use it for daytime as well. For night time use, I layer a face oil over it for added hydration. Even though Hada Labo claims it can work as a face mask, I find it is not as moisturizing. 

Q: Would you recommend this moisturizer to your friends? 
A: Would not recommend Hada Labo Perfect Gel for a night time moisturizer. It will work well for those who want a lightweight moisturizer and/or those whose skin does not much hydration such as oily skin type.

Lighter in consistency compared to Fancl Mild Cleansing oil. It does remove waterproof eye makeup such as mascara and eyeliner, and does not irritate the eyes. Effectively removes sunscreen. I cannot attest for its moisturizing properties since I wash it off right away with water. It does dissolve easily with warm water, and does not leave any residue. Overall, Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturing Cleansing Oil is a decent product and I will re-purchase it.

Prior to this, I had been using DHC Cleansing Oil which worked well but it was too thick and thus harder to wash off. I really love this Hada Labo Cleansing oil because it is less pricy than the DHC and works better because of its thinner consistency. With my DHC, I was kind off lazy to use it because I needed to waste alot of time and water washing it off because after switching to Hada Labo, I had been using it everyday because it is less of a hassle. Most importantly, this Hada Labo Cleansing oil removes makeup very good, you just need 1 pump of oil and massage gently onto your face and eyes for 1 minute and then wash it off!

Ps: AG and I had already purchased our second bottle!

REVIEW: Hada Labo SPF50+ PA+++ UV Moist Emulsion

~MG~


I decided to try out the 'Hada Labo UV Moist Emulsion' because it claims to be moisturing which will be perfect for the winter season. 

Hada Labo is a well-known Japanese skincare drugstore brand. I had used other Hada Labo products and they were all good. 

Hada Labo's products are ideal for dehydrated skin because all of their products have hyaluronic acid in it which is key to moisturizing their skin because it will help to create a moisture locking shield to help preserve skin’s optimum moisture balance. Hada Labo's product are also great for sensitive skin and that's because all of their products are free of fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol and colorant.

This sunscreen is great because it is a 4 in 1:
1) High UV protection of SPF50+
2) Trusty hyaluronic acid for hydration
3) Good makeup base 
4) Non-sticky and greasy body sunscreen too

 I used this sunscreen for my arms and legs when I went to the amusement park on a burning summer day and my skin was not tanned or burned, unlike the previous time!

Dry skin people will enjoy this product because it is really hydrating. This sunscreen also did not leave with a white cast. It has no scent which is always good. It is also very affortable, it cost half the price of Kiehl's sunscreen and it lasted me 3 months which is not long but reasonable because I reapplied my sunscreen throughout the day and even on my body.

The only thing which I dislike but also like about this sunscreen is its texture. Although, its light but its not as liquid-y and thus thicker than my Kiehl's, which I love so its a thumb down from me because it will be too heavy for my oil skin during the summer. However, this thick liquid texture will be perfect for a winter sunscreen because it will be moist-proof. Interestingly, despite it thickness, it adsorbs quickly into my skin and does not break out my acne-prone skin!

To prepare for the winter season, I have already bought a moisturizing sunscreen but its not this 'Moist Emulsion'. Don't get me wrong, this sunscreen is wonderful for the drier climate because of its thicker liquid texture but the reason I did not repurchase it is because I want to try out the newly released 'Hada Labo UV Whitening Emulsion', which I'm hoping will help with my hyperpigmentation!
