Hada Labo Rohto Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Lotion, 170ml

I have quite dry skin, and I initially bought this for my face. I didn't notice a difference using this on my face, but I found that it works great on my legs. The skin on my thighs, calves, and butt gets SO itchy during the winter because of the dryness, to the point where it keeps me up at night because I just can't stop scratching. I put a layer of this on and let it soak in for a few minutes before I put my lotion on, and it's the only thing I've found that keeps the itchy dryness at bay (lotion alone just doesn't do it, and I've tried many different ones). I only gave it four stars because this is intended to be a face product and I wasn't impressed with it on my face, but I will definitely repurchase for my legs. I don't want to live another winter without it!

this product literally transformed my skin and its effects are permanent rather than temporary as with some skincare products (i.e. once you stop using them, your skin returns to whatever state you were trying to correct). please don't be warned off this amazing product bc of a few negative reviews -- from what i can tell, most of those reviewers are using the product incorrectly, are ignorant about hyaluronic acid generally, or haven't even used the product!here's my experience from almost two months using this product.i have very very dry skin that is somewhat sensitive. before using hada labo, i'd been battling facial psoriasis that covered my entire forehead, around my nose, and a few spots on my chin. i'd tried everything non-prescription i could get my hands on for two years, and right before purchasing hada labo, the psoriasis started creeping down onto my left eyelid. i was frantic.after a few days using hada labo in my skincare routine (after cleansing, but before moisturizing), the psoriasis scales reduced in size/scope and after a week they began to recede altogether. after using this product twice a day for about 2 weeks, i couldn't even see where the psoriasis used to be. it actually surprised me and i had to ask my spouse to confirm what my eyes were seeing lol! (for those who have never experienced psoriasis: even when the scales/flakes are gone or temporarily exfoliated, you can still see a bright red patch indicating psoriasis-affected skin. even with the best of the products i'd tried, these red patches were ever-present.) i'm happy to say that my psoriasis is completely gone, leaving no trace it ever existed in the first place, and hada labo is the only product i tried with both immediate and long-term efficacy. what i tell my friends is if it can disappear psoriasis, it can probably improve most skin ailments, as psoriasis is notoriously difficult to treat even with prescription products.i've now used it twice per day for 6 weeks on my face, body, and hair and i'm only just getting to the bottom of my first bottle. i love this product for its results, but the icing on the cake is the price and amount needed per use. i can't say enough about this product and will be repurchasing again and again.(note on usage: i'm sure it's been covered by many other reviewers, but you use this product after makeup removal and cleansing but before moisturizing. if you are on your exfoliating days, it should be after exfoliation and before moisturizing. i put a nickel-sized amount in my palm, rub my hands together, and then *pat* it into my skin, making sure to get my lips, eyes, and neck as well. i use the patting method with all skincare stuff bc it helps with absorption and you get more product into the places you need it. there are a ton of youtube videos if you need detailed steps.)

I'm 38 with fair sensitive combination skin and Rosacea. I've been doing the Korean 10-step skin care regimen for about a month, once a day. That has made a noticeable improvement in my skin. The puffy bags under my eyes have reduced significantly, my skin tone has evened out, my cheeks are no longer as dry and my nose is less oily. Fine lines have faded a bit as well, but were still there around my eyes and above my upper lip. I ordered this acid stuff on a lark on the same day I ordered some of my Korean products, May 2nd. The rave reviews and very reasonable price made it well worth the risk. And I made sure to get the Japanese version. I have used Japanese products before, usually with good results so I had no trouble believing the Japanese version would be better. It arrived on June 19th. For 10$, I'm not going to complain and it had the inadvertent up side of me being able to use it in isolation. By now, I had a routine in place and I was only adding this one product so I could really see if it did anything for me. It really did make a difference. I'm have used it for all of four days. I could see the difference on day two. And I don't mean right after application, I mean hours later. I mean the next day when I woke up my skin looked better. The fine lines around my eyes were even better! The lines above my upper lip, which was only a little better after a month of the 10 step regimen, are now markedly lessened. My face looks 5 years younger, at least. The lines around my eyes look like they did when I first noticed their appearance in my late 20's. It's pretty amazing. I would give the stuff a try, it's so cheap, there's nothing to lose by trying.I do not use the face mask type method others have mentioned. Honestly, it's a bit of a hassle for me and the face masks tend to bother my eyes and make them water, even though they don't touch my eyes. Something about the proximity to my eyes I think. What I do instead is wash my face, use toner and them put about 1/2 a teaspoon of this stuff on my face. Then I wet my hands with cold water and get my face good and damp. I let my face air dry. It takes about 5 minutes. Once dry, then I do the essence, serum, and moisture steps like normal. I had planned to make my own cloth mask for this product out of cotton or linen, but this is so effective, I don't know that I need to. Seriously, give it a try.

Stick with it, it works but takes at least 8 weeks to see a difference. Nice thing is, once dry (try an old fashioned fan to dry it quicker) it isn't the slightest bit greasy (although maybe a bit tacky for a short while) so make-up goes on really well over it. I use the same make cream at night, and I also start with a vitamin C serum to increase the effectiveness. I thinks it's even improved my fingernails!

Seems to make your skin smooth, but I’m not sure it’s worth the hype. I use this after a light moisturiser and it’s definitely made my skin smoother than just with moisturiser. But not life changing, just ok.

A great hyaluronic acid toner for dehydrated skin. The consistency is on the thicker side and it takes a few seconds to sink in but it provides hours of hydration after it’s sealed in with moisturiser. Look out for the ‘light type’ version if you are looking for a lighter consistency for oily skin.

Didn't do anything

The lotion is hydrating and I feel it helps with the absorbtion of my next skincare product. Bought this from seller Japan Subcultures. The product was shipped from Japan and arrived within the delivery window.
