Hada Labo Lotions Review!
Finally, inspired by Hada Labo's latest 2020 reformulations, here's my review on all of their lotions. If you've been confused by what the different coloured bottles specifically target, or what the pink/orange labels mean, this should help you! Also, I'll compare what's different between the former gokujyun formulas and the new 2020 versions. As always, highlighting which ones I prefer, the ones I don't and why. Enjoy!
How I use the lotions in my most recent skincare routines :
Gokujyun Premium : • Day 3 - Repair, Recove...
Shirojyun Premium : • Winter Skincare Routin...

Just fyi, I linked where I personally bought all my new versions and had no problems with my orders last year. However, they told me they’re having alot shipping delays due to Lunar New Year Holidays so be mindful of that if you're considering purchasing through my links. There could be a longer than usual wait time. I’ve also purchased a few times through amazon however, almost every time, I received the older versions of the lotions even if the 2020 versions are pictured. So be very clear with the amazon supplier - most of them will say it’s the same thing, different packaging but we know better!

@@gothamista I love the Milano CC serum (it's the best Vit C serum I've come across) and so I gave the CC Lotion a shot - it works well in combination, I find.

Now they're almost entirely gone).

Hi Renee. Do you layer the different lotions at all?
I don’t understand why people pay high prices for tiny bottles of hyauloronic serums or even water creams when Hada Labo makes so many wonderful HA products at a fraction of the cost. The Premium is my favorite as well and I apply it prior to tretinoin which I attribute to the ease I’ve had with adjusting to retinoids!

@@hylcelrin Yes. I apply Hada Labo to my face when it’s still damp after cleansing and giving my face a quick spray with a rice and ceramide toner. I let it dry and then apply tretinoin. Finally after waiting about half an hour I apply my soy and ceramide rich night cream. By sandwiching tretinoin between a layer of hydration and a rich moisturizing and somewhat occlusive night cream, I don’t experience any of the irritation nor compromise my skin barrier. The tretinoin still does a beautiful job! 💕

The Gokugyun lotion is the first Asian skincare products I ever purchased, when I first started branching out after watching your channel years ago. Now, most of my skincare and a minority of my cosmetics collection is consists of Asian brands. I have tried all the Hada Labo lotions in light and moist versions. I particularly like the vitamin C light version even though it was not your favourite, and the red alpha in the moist version. I also love the original for my hair as well - I keep it in a little mist bottle and spritz over my hair once or twice a day, it takes down the static from being in a dry office environment and gives my strands some moisture and gloss without any weigh down. So glad you made this comprehensive review and comparison! I'll admit that each time I tried a new lotion, it was trial and error because I can't read the label! It's nice to hear your opinion on these, I'm thinking of trying the blue bottle again but in the premium version this time based on your information - I did not realize this premium version was different!

Using skincare in the hair wow I am mind blown!! I will probably buy the original lotion just to put it into my hair. But I am curious to know if other simple toners work just as good? (I have the Rovectin, Soon Jung and Klairs unscented toners)
Finally Hada Labo lotions review with the green blemish bottle....It's always ignored by influencers and was frustrated. Thank you!
I didn't even realise there was a light and rich version of each of them, while overwhelmed by the different packaging 😱. I'm so happy I happened to get the classic one in the moist version by accident, I wouldn't have liked a watery t texture. THANK YOU for this overview 😘!
You helped me understand that I have oily prone-to-dehydration skin and I am FOREVER GRATEFUL! So few skincare peeps talk about this group? I love my Gokujyun Premium but if I ever strayed I’d probably always choose orange/rich over pink/light because my skin is dehydrated even though it’s not dry...

Golujyun Premium was a skin savior for my dry, eczema prone skin. I first discovered it about a decade or more ago as well! ❤️ I loved my Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium and Kose Deep Cleansing Oil. I was 20-21 years old and they both end up in circulation a lot even today. Now I want to get all of these lotions. My chest could benefit from some brightening. ✨ Thank you for this!

I’ve been loving the Gokojyun premium!!! Can’t wait to try the shirojyn premium
Ugh I love you so much!!! You were the on that introduced me to Hada labo about 4 years ago, and I’m so grateful that I found this line! No other toner/lotions hydrate my skin like these products. Whenever I use retin a, I use this to combat the dryness, and the flakiness is almost unnoticeable. As you know, retin a cause sever flaking, but this almost eliminates that! After washing my face after a night of retin a, my skin feels very dry and itchy, but after putting this on, that is immediately relieved! And it does so for the rest of the day! I use the shoryujun one and and premium and it will be a staple in my skincare FOREVER! Take everything away but leave me with these and I’ll be ok! Lol. Such a great and informative video!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The timing of this video is everything! I was going over your older videos on hydrators just last night trying to decide which Hada Labo lotion to get. I now know exactly which one to go for thank you! :)
I was always confused on which shiro-jyun to get... and even though I researched and understood the same to what you said in the video, just hearing you saying it makes me feel so much better.

I love using the Gokyjyun premium lotion as part of a hydrating skincare routine for my oily, acne prone skin. Since starting on tretinoin, it's been a life saver.

I LOVE the Premium Lotion and just started using the 2020 version and I find it even better! I use it before my nightly Differin use. Wish Tretinoin was available OTC.I first heard about Hadalabo from you and wondered what it was. At the time, I was into Korean skin care. But your saying that you had dry, dehydrated skin really spoken to me as I was noticing that about my skin. Now it's my holy grail. Thank you for posting this review! I use the Shirojyun Lotion too..

Love Hada Labo! Thank you for the reviews!
I can vouch for Shirojyun range. I've had uneven skin tone and lot of deep pigmentation. Although I have been using skinceutical's vitamin C, I did not get the result I desired. Then I add hada labo's shirojyun's tranexamic acid essence to my routine. I couldn't believe the effect I have been seeing, it boost's my vitamin C serum and accelerated the brightening effect. This is so synergic with skinceuticals and i had no reaction. Although I have used other ranges from Hada Labo, I don't get "wow" effect as same as this product gives me. Thanks for the review!!!
the exact video i’ve always wanted but never found until now!!!
Will be using up my other hydrating toners ASAP so I can try out all these 2020 versions 🤗

Dont be fooled by the watery texture of Shirojyun (light). I live in a humid country so this could feel a little bit oily but definitely moisturizing. Maybe in cold countries, you wont notice it. But for someone who lives in hot, humid climate like here in SE Asia maybe stick to light rather than the moist/rich variant unless you are in an AC room the whole time. 😉
