Full Description
The **Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion (Moist)** is a deeply hydrating and moisturizing toner designed to replenish the skin's moisture levels, leaving it plump, soft, and radiant. As one of Japan's most popular skincare products, this lotion is formulated with multiple types of hyaluronic acid to deliver intense hydration to different layers of the skin.
Unlike typical Western toners, Japanese lotions like this one are used to hydrate and prep the skin, creating a smooth and plump base for the rest of your skincare routine. The "Moist" version is specially formulated for normal to dry skin types and features a slightly thicker, more viscous texture that penetrates deep into the skin without feeling sticky or heavy.
The lotion is free from fragrances, colorants, alcohol, and mineral oil, making it gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. It aims to balance the skin's moisture levels, prevent dryness, and improve overall skin texture.
### **Key Benefits:**
- **Deep Hydration:** Contains multiple types of hyaluronic acid that penetrate deep into different layers of the skin, providing intense and long-lasting hydration.
- **Plumping Effect:** Regular use helps to plump up the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and making the skin look smoother and more youthful.
- **Non-Sticky Formula:** Despite its deep moisturizing properties, the lotion has a non-greasy, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly into the skin.
- **Gentle on Skin:** The formula is free from fragrances, alcohol, colorants, and mineral oils, ensuring it is suitable for sensitive and easily irritated skin.
- **Prepares Skin for Skincare:** Effectively preps the skin to absorb subsequent products like serums, creams, and treatments more efficiently.
### **Ingredients:**
Here is a breakdown of the key ingredients and their benefits:
1. **Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid:** A low molecular weight hyaluronic acid that penetrates deep into the skin layers, providing intense hydration and helping to maintain moisture from within. It effectively plumps the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
2. **Sodium Hyaluronate:** A form of hyaluronic acid that works on the surface of the skin, creating a moisture barrier that prevents dehydration and helps the skin stay hydrated throughout the day.
3. **Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate (Super Hyaluronic Acid):** A patented form of hyaluronic acid that has superior moisture-retention capabilities. It provides long-lasting hydration by binding moisture to the skin.
4. **Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate:** This specialized form of hyaluronic acid clings to the skin's surface and provides long-lasting hydration, enhancing the skin's texture and smoothness.
5. **Glycerin:** A natural humectant that attracts moisture from the environment into the skin, keeping it hydrated and soft. It also helps to maintain the skin's moisture barrier.
6. **Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate:** A skin-conditioning agent that helps improve skin texture, leaving it feeling smooth and moisturized without a greasy feel.
7. **Butylene Glycol:** A common hydrating ingredient that helps condition and soften the skin while aiding in the absorption of other ingredients.
### **How to Use:**
1. **Cleanse:** Begin by cleansing your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser to remove any makeup, dirt, or impurities.
2. **Prepare the Lotion:** Pour a small amount (about a quarter-sized amount) of the **Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion (Moist)** into the palm of your hand. You can also use a cotton pad if preferred, but using your hands allows for better absorption and less product waste.
3. **Apply to Face and Neck:** Gently pat the lotion onto your face and neck using your palms. Avoid rubbing or pulling on the skin to prevent irritation. Start from the center of your face and work your way outwards.
4. **Layer for Extra Hydration (Optional):** If you feel your skin needs more hydration, you can apply multiple layers of the lotion. Wait a few seconds between each layer to allow it to absorb fully.
5. **Follow with Skincare Routine:** Once the lotion is absorbed, proceed with the rest of your skincare routine. Apply serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen (if using it in the morning) for maximum hydration and protection.
6. **Use Daily:** For optimal results, use the lotion twice daily—morning and evening—as part of your regular skincare regimen.
### **Usage Tips:**
- **Pat, Don’t Rub:** Gently pat the lotion into your skin rather than rubbing it, which helps enhance absorption and minimizes irritation.
- **Layer for Extra Moisture:** The lotion can be layered to achieve a more hydrated, plump look, especially for very dry or dehydrated skin.
- **Store Properly:** Keep the lotion in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to preserve its effectiveness.
By incorporating the **Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion (Moist)** into your skincare routine, you can achieve deeply hydrated, soft, and supple skin, perfect for all skin types, especially those needing an extra boost of moisture.
