I kinda feel like hadalabo puts all their effort on the product so that's why their packaging looks cheap

I recently fell in love with Hada Labo again... A lot of their products are fungal acne friendly AND have refill packets available! This video came at the perfect time

I'm sooooo sorry this is so long, I tried to make it 10 mins max! But.....obviously that did work haha

I'm half japanese im sooo happy that people start getting into JP products he have a lot of good stufs over here. i think a good ratio korean/ japanese/ western skincare products would be perfection

Sadly their products broke me out except for the cleanser..my boyfriend loveeess their milk moisturizer&cleanser truly change his skin texture. I wonder why they can reach up to £10 in uk, theyre only about £3 in Indonesia hahaha

HADA LABO!!! simplicity is key !!!

I’m calling 911, you keep taking my money😭

For everyone wanting to try the Hada Labo lotion, don't be too intimidated by its tackiness. There is actually a reason for that. The "tacky feeling" from using Hada Labo lotions comes from the hyaluronic acid derivatives. It _really is intentional and was instructed by one video from the brand, which is about how to use it._ Based on those videos, you really, *really* need to pat your skin and "stretch" it out as your face sticks with your palm, slowly letting it go off by itself, then you repeat until tackiness is gone. This supposedly makes skin more able to let the product seep in it, making it more hydrating--or at least that's what Hada Labo is trying to point out, lol Btw, love you and your content! And also for introducing them these products for them to get their hands on ❤️❤️❤️

Hi, I'm glad you love Japanese skin care products. Yes, Hada Labo indeed is the best when comes to Hyaluronic Acid related products in Asia. The milk actually in Asia here we called it as emulsion. And the gel cream can also be use as a wash off mask if applied a little thicker. And the Gokujyun (red) range of products is understood as with Retinol. Next is the Shirojyun (blue) range, as you mentioned for skin whitening/brightening, you're right about it but it's understood here in Asia this range is with Alpha Aburtin. These few ranges are considered as the older range or the common range as they have been selling for some time. The latest range just launched a few months back (I think it was about 2 months ago around April 2019), is the Kouji range. This kouji range has 4 products - the cleansing foam (120gm), treatment essence (110ml), treatment day cream (50gm) and treatment night cream (50gm). What's so interesting about this range is that, it's made from rice fermentation's extract. The same technique as brewing Japanese sake to derive the rice fermentation's extracts and also is the same technique SK II used to producing their signature key product the miracle water with pitera®. It's rich in amino acids, kojic acid and vitamin B2 & B6 and few other stuffs. If you can find this in UK, I highly recommend you to give this new kouji range a try, I guess you will like it more than the common ranges of Hada Labo's products. Kouji range is an “upgraded” range compared to the usual one's. Ever wonder why and how Japanese or Korean ladies's skin often look like “glass skin” as they called it ? It looked so ageless, translucent, radiant, bright, clear and flawless, it's not about the makeup products we Asians use. In Asia, skin care products are the most important comparing to makeup products. We Asians believe or took in serious concentrations on the skin care products we use and we invest in some good quality products, not much by the product's brand but is more on about what is the goodness of the products can do for skin, and the more natural ingredients the more better. With a good and healthy skin is much more important than using too much of cosmetics / makeup products to cover up. A healthy glowing skin is the key of Oriental beauty. You can check it out this Hada Labo's Kouji range by Google or here at KZfaq. But KZfaq here mostly are Asians doing the products' review in Asian languages. Better you just Google it and with the products' image and with some reviews by the users. Personally my opinion after I'd tried this Kouji range of products, I find that perhaps there's no need to spend that extra money on the facial cleanser. It's just a normal cleanser and I don't find any special effects. It's the treatment essence most important. And next is the day and night treatment creams. The day treatment cream's texture is a gel base cream, while the night treatment cream is a more thicker consistency type of cream. I think this is very subjective to individual's skin types, concerns and preference. Personally myself I prefers the day cream as it's very light weight of treatment cream. It absorbed well with my skin type. But certainly you won't see immediate results next day after using, give in some patience and stick to these products for a month, I'm sure you'll be able to see some improvements of your skin's texture.

I’m so sad to hear that you dislike the oil cleanser because that’s my fave ~ compared to balms, I agree that it’s oilier in texture but I feel like that helps the product slip around the face easier to prevent tugging! So personally I really really love the oil cleanser XD It’s an emulsifying type, so use on dry skin, rub some water in, then wash off, and your skin should feel very clean (but not stripped) and without residue.

I came across Hada Labo by accident during my travel to Malaysia. I realize that I didnt carry my moisturizer so i had to run to the nearest drugstore to replenish. The 1 product that i ABSOLUTELY LOVE is the pink jar Light Cream moisturizer. I am more on the oily side and for the 1st time in my 30+ year life i got a moisturizer that quickly absorbed to my skin, PLUMPS, and not leaving a greasy residue AT ALL. The skin is prepped enough then for me to layer it with make up primer after 😁. My country doesnt carry the complete range of this brand, so for the past 3 years i've been lucky to be able to continue my use of this cream from my friends and family that buy them on their travel abroad 😂. For how this cream left my skin feeling, i dont see any way that i would change to other brand or range anytime soon. Thanks for reviewing Hada Labo, James!

It's finally here! Woo! 👍Great review, can't imagine what it is like testing and trying so many products at one time! Good job!

I love how you felt like you had to tell us that the milk doesn't actually have milk in it, knowing that there might be someone out there that needed that explanation. 😊 You have so much patience with us

Finally, a review of these products in english. Thank you!!

I'm quite fascinated with every reviews. Dissing in a nice way hahaha! I really love the honesty and smirk at the end 👌

Informative as always! U need to do a fav gel moisturizers video!😭

You missed the best product: the Skin Plumping Gel Cream is fabulous. It has ceramides as well as the super hyaluronic acid. The Cleansing Oil emulsifies wonderfully when you add water. It will not leave an oily feel at all. Cheeers!

I've been waiting for this! I love how you always carefully give the products a chance before even reviewing it💖

I love the Hado Labo products. They are priced reasonably and deliver results.

My favorite is the gokujyun premium line because it’s high in urea content! It’s so hard to find products with a good percentage of urea. Hope they never discontinue it!

I absoloutely love your channel you‘re literally my fav youtuber

As someone who seeks out simple, minimal ingredient lists, Hada Labo has to be one of my favorite skincare brands, and I'd probably say that foaming cleanser is my HG. I need my cleansers to be as gentle as possible, low pH, free of the common irritants, but also really affordable because I hate spending a lot of money on wash off products. That one perfectly fits the bill, and yeah, it seems to last forever! Although it doesn't contain harsh foaming ingredients, I was still worried that a foam cleanser wouldn't be as hydrating or gentle as a cream cleanser, but I actually think it is. I love that it feels like moist air on your face lol. You'd think a good affordable, gentle, hydrating cleanser for sensitive skin wouldn't be that difficult to find, but it is. The moist toner is also fantastic.

I literally been using this for 7years now and when i say it works it works I’m so happy that asian underrated skincare brands are getting the spotlight now!!! proud asian here!!!💛

Every time you upload a new video i wait for my skincare routine time to watch it while i do my face stuff 🧖‍♂️

I’ve heard so much about this line. I’m excitedddd! :D

I’ve had Hadalabo on my cart for weeks, this video is my sign. Thank you! 😘

I love the explanation thank you. I think when someone does a short video they leave out important information so i appreciate that you took your time.

If I had skin like his. I wouldn’t even know how to act

The first time I knew about AHA and BHA, back in 2005, were not from korean skin care, but from japanese skin care. I tried their hadalabo tamagohana, and it really works well for me. Even until know, I still use it as it's the most gentle exfoliating thing that never irritate my skin.

Finally i found a person review my favorite brand ❤️

LOVE videos like these, so straightforward and useful!

Hada labo honestly changed my skin!! I switched from a western glycolic cleanser to the foaming cleaner and started using the Premium lotion and my skin has been so much better ever since (it’s been about 2 years now and still loving it). Their products are just simple, gentle and effective.

I've been using Hadalabo for 10 years (associated with other brands, I also love French skincare) and I really love this brand. I love how they don't play into that kawaii bullshit and are all about efficiency. Japanese skincare often renew their formulas so products get better and better literally every year or every two years. The ONLY disappointment was when they reformulated the ICONIC Tamagohada face wash. I didn't like the new texture at all.

JUST WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!🌸

It’s an incredibly reliable brand that has never done me wrong. glad to see the review!

Finally the product review I've waiting for.

OOOH HELLOOOOO!!! I'm so glad I found your channel! I was looking for hada labo reviews and your chanel was the first to pop up. great content!! I'm suscribing :)

There’s a lotion version for Gokujyun Premium which is currently in my routine. I bought after watching Gothamista talked about it in her videos. No turning back since then. Can’t live without.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! Like you said, I struggle to find in depth or even just surface info on foreign products, especially hadalabo! Don’t apologize for the length because I needed this. Terribly!

one of the very not important reasons why I love your video, the way you express your expression on ur face hahaha in fact you are so expressive, James

moist is for normal to dry skin and light is for oily / combination skin. green lotion is mainly for acne prone skin. i'm currently using the hydration light due to my oily skin and testing out the green bottle once i'm done with this... love your review by the way...

Thank you for bringing up the refillable packaging! That is definitely a big plus for me!

Received the Hado Labo foaming cleanser today and was really happy with how it felt on my skin. Still waiting for the lotion and oil cleanser and really excited to use them. Pretty happy that you reviewed them :)

James:**mention product** My skin:**instantly clears**

I love love love the oil cleanser. I apply it at the end of the day to my dry face and rinse it off in shower. Then, I continue with my hadalabo foaming face wash. Nice video! I will be watching more!

That moisturiser sounds perfect for my makeup kit for client skin prep😍

Congrats on 1Million! I love Hada Labo 😍

Oh yay! I've been waiting for this!

I looove that you looove using asian skincare too, I'm so gonna binge-watch your videos 😍

thank your for reviewing HADA LABO's product.❤

I've been looking for a detailed vlog of Hada Labo prods. Thank u thank u for this :)

This is the more complete review on HL I ever see!! 👏👏 They made a product that I loved so so much. It came out a couple of years ago and I was just in time to buy a lot of it (to bring to my fiends!) before it disappeared. It was a squalene kind of toner, was soooo good. I think it was too poorly promoted or they have the project to create a new version. Now, it came out something similar, with more ingredients and a more gel/water texture, I really enjoy it, the squalene one seemed like water, dried super fast, and felt great, the new one is a little more sticky at the begin but dry easily, and is perfect for me before moisture, I would love to you to try it! They have other creams came out recently, same orribile cheap packaging of the sunscreen. I really really like Hada Labo, I totally agree about the fact that it does what is suppose to do, without to much claiming. I found the white label products to light for me, and I also gravitate more on the red one. I think the green label one is another that is gone, maybe because of that you could not buy it. They came out with a cleanser for who have acne problem (light green tube or pump). Never bought the whitening line but I will try the one you suggest (here in Japan doesn’t have the pump), luckily all this products are cheap enough to experiment! I also didn’t like their mask, there are other drugstore mask that I’m buying (Mediheal and Leaders) and are more “juicy” (I collect all the remain product inside a little jar to use sometimes when I’m without a new one!).

I was waiting for this video impatiently...

That oil cleanser is LIFE! you put it on dry skin, massage, then just simply wash away. Leaves no residue! It's a life saver come on man 😭 Edit: no fragrance, no parabens, etc! Perfect for sensitive skin!

I'm binging your videos while I work, I just love your accent. Thanks for the great videos! This is a case of your skin being different than mine, I love the HadaLabo Oil Cleanser. But I've got some dry as hell skin. :) I also love the foam cleanser. I love this brand because it's simple, affordable, and they offer refills!

I'm in Asia at the moment and have seen the brand in chemist's but didn't know what to get! Perfectly timed video, really trust your opinions 😍

Hada Labo is my go-to brand! My skin has never broken out from using ANY of their products, so when my skin's all angry or upset, I go back to my Hada Labo skincare routine, and it workssss so well for my sensitive skin! ❤️

Thank you for this.. Been waiting for it... Was always thinking what to try from this brand.. Now I have a list of hada labo products to try out

Thanks for the review. Now I know what to buy. I’ve been looking at the brand for a while now.

This is actually really helpful ♥️🙌🏼 also maybe it’s just me but your skin looks extra healthy in this video 🙆🏻

Woooohooo been waiting for your “approval “ for the things I needed to buy from this brand.

I love Hada Labo! So simple and yet so hydrating.

I bought the cleansing oil and the face foam a few months ago after watching this video and I’m happy to say i love both!! I use both at night to double cleanse( the oil emulsifies nicely for me) , and only the face foam in the morning. The face foam is soo nice and hydrating, i dont get that tight squeaky clean feeling anymore. Thank you Jamesss!

My gosh your skin is so glassy and hydrated 😭. Can't stop looking at it

I'm using the Premium Moist and loving it. Definitely noticing a brightening effect and some fading of some sun spots :)

Hadalabo is one of my favorites too!! I have been using their basic lotions light & moist version. I recently purchased their arbutin milky lotion. Works good!! I haven't tried the anti aging series yet, would like to try. I have oily combination skin.

Omg I’ve been waiting for this! I liked your video even before watching 😂

OMG OMG OMG I'm early. I've waited for this!!!!

Perfect timing I just ordered some hada labo products thnx

I love their hyaluronic acid cream. It’s honestly amazing, and _so hydrating._

Great review! And the packaging 😆 I know what you mean. Can’t wait for your May favourites and unlisted hauls~

Been waiting for your video 😘

Sad that you didn‘t mention the classic premium lotion (yellow) light version... that’s the bestseller and it’s just perfect! It’s exactly like the expensive Hyaluronic acid serums (which cost 15-50$ for 30 ml) but much cheaper and in a much bigger bottle- also with urea in it which is rare. I use it as my hyaluronic serum all year round, love it! And it’s fungal acne safe!😉👌🏼

Tranexamic acid is the MOST exciting ingredient to prevent pigment due to its effect on the plasminogen activation pathway. It is a pigment inhibitor and best used after toner. You mentioned in the video that you liked the results but couldn't definitely say. Both times you mentioned liking the effect, you were holding products containing tranexamic acid. If you suffer from hyperpigmention or inflammation, those products will be your best friend.

great video! I've been using one of HL products and curious to try others so I was seeking information on what I should try and this REALLY helped me! Thanks a lot!

GIRL FRONT!!!!!! also, love your videos omg

It think you will also like other brands from their parent company Rohto Pharmaceutical. Especially their Skin Aqua UV line or the melano CC vitamin C line which is absolutely amazing.

I just started using the lotion. I love that it has simple ingredients, it's affordable, and will probably last me forever. The first time I used it, I used three drops on my face, and it was too much! I now use just two drops, but I want to see if I can actually use just one drop. It spreads so easily, and it's so hydrating! It's perfect for me because my skin is also quite oily.

Yay!! I have been waiting for you to upload this video!! Thank you 😊

honestly their perfect gel moisturizer is GODLY❤️ OMFG Like it’s a lightweight gel but when you apply it, it’s like BUTTERY, their best product! And it doesn’t have acne triggering ingredients.

Hello James! I’m Japanese and enjoyed your review on Japanese skincare products this time! First of all, I was impressed by your knowledge of Japanese skincare culture and products😍 Hada rabo is a drugstore product and loved by teenagers or women in 20s. Next time when you get the chance, please give us your thoughts on Japanese skincare products from department store!;)

I use their cleansing oil and foaming hydrating face wash at night as a double cleanse and it is hands down the best combo to effectively remove makeup, grime, sunscreen, etc. They are very gentle and hydrating. The oil is heavy, but came off easily with a warm water rinse. Then I follow with the cleansing foam.

I love Hada Labo’s foaming cleanser. It’s so gentle and moisturizing. I also like the Goku-jyun lotion moist and appreciate the fact that they sell refills. I wish more brands could do this.

Great video james ❤ I absolutely love the hada labo arbutin whitening lotion 😍😍😍

The different Hada Labo lotions vary quite a bit in how sticky they are. The Premium lotion in the gold bottle has 5 different sizes of hyaluronic acid and I have found it to be less sticky as the other versions. I believe they’ve finally updated all their packaging and if you keep your eye out they come out with special packaging in larger sizes on occasion. I have a beautiful large Hada Labo pump bottle that’s white with gorgeous peonies on it and get the pouches to refill it. They used to make a wonderful hyauloronic acid facial mist that was a perfect freshener especially in the summer but I don’t think they make it anymore or at least it hasn’t been available for a long time from usual sources that used to carry it.

Im confused that robert suddenly make skincare review until i realized its actually james 😂

I love hada labo. I started off with their premium lotion and moved on to their perfect gel which I've repurchased three times already!! I also bought their oil and foam cleanser, and I recently purchased their spf (which brought me to your video since I had bought it on a whim) because I had run out low on my COSRX aloe vera sun cream, and thought I might as well try the hada labo one. I love all their products so far. Gentle (as you had mentioned), soothing, and moisturizing! I might have to give that red lotion a try hehe. (btw, my skin is oily, but around my mouth area is dry so combination)

It's nice to see a review on this brand. I've been keeping an eye on them for a while

I have the hydrating lotion with 4 different hyaluronic acid. It's amazing and I super agree when it comes to less is more with that product. I appreciate the brand having like the trial versions. ❤️

I love Japanese skin care its amazing I don't want perfume in my skincare, parabens are not bad, they preserve the shelf life of the product only, the alternative to parabens that manufacturers are opting for can cause dermatitis

Hada Labo White UV Gel is my favorite sunscreen! Dr. Dray made a video about it's benefits and once I tried it, I falled in love!

Oh man been waiting for this one James. Have several products and more on the way. Looking forward to your opinion

I've sworn by this product for along time. No matter what I change in my regime hada labo always stays

I still have my first bottle of the hydrating lotion light (it’s been months 😂) I use it before my light moisturizer and moisturizer cream. I find it really helps the moisturizer get absorbed, if I forget the lotion, my skin doesn’t feel right if that makes sense lol 😂

You are a savior. I was looking up some of the Japanese products. And saw your review. I trust your reviews more then anything. Thank you for sharing Japanese products too. Please please do more reviews on Japanese and Korean products.

You just earned a new subscriber! Very thoughtful review. I appreciate it

i refreshed for like a hundred times in your channel like, since an hour ago lol 🤣

I really love Hada Labo's Lotion, have been using it for years. Currently found another fav which is the Mild & Sensitive Skin Cleanser! And I really wanna know what's your opinion on the AHA+BHA (Mild Peeling) Range is?

Ok I haven’t seen the video yet and I know I’m gonna luv it. You read my mind James, yesterday I was thinking about a Hada Labo products review 😍👏🏻👏🏻 You are the best. Greetings from Connecticut 🇺🇸🕺🏼

Ok, I just fell in love with your channel and subbed❣️💕🙌🏽🙌🏽
