What is the difference between Hyaluronic Acid and Super Hyaluronic Acid?

Super Hyaluronic Acid has approximately double the moisture retention capacity of regular Hyaluronic Acid. So while 1 gram of Hyaluronic Acid is able to hold up to 6 liters of water, the same amount of Super Hyaluronic Acid will hold up to 12 liters for deeper and longer-lasting moisturizing. Super Hyaluronic Acid anchors to the different layers on the epidermis. As a result, Super Hyaluronic Acid has superior moisture retention properties. According to a study conducted at Rohto Research Laboratories (Japan), it keeps skin hydrated by retaining moisture twice as long as other leading Japanese brands, giving you smoother results with longer-lasting effects.

Do I need to use all of the products to see results?

You can use individual HADA LABO products as part of your skin care regimen. However, they have been designed to work as a system, so using them together is recommended for optimum results. For example, using HADA LABO Clear Lotion before HADA LABO Milk or HADA LABO Serum will maximize the moisturizing effect of both because they have been formulated to have a synergistic effect when used together.

Should I apply HADA LABO products with a cotton pad?

No, it’s best to apply HADA LABO products with the palms of your hands. This warms and helps to evenly distribute the product. In most cases, you should then gently pat your face for better absorption. How you apply HADA LABO products is a key part of their effectiveness. The HADA LABO application technique, which includes circulation-boosting massage, is reflective of Japanese skin care rituals that enhance visible results.

When do I use HADA LABO Lotion?

HADA LABO Lotion is the foundation to your skin moisturizing routine. Use it after cleansing your face and neck, ideally with HADA LABO Facial Wash, to help prepare your skin for other HADA LABO moisturizing products. It is available as HADA LABO Goku-jyun Lotion for intense hydration and HADA LABO Shiro-jyun Lotion to help brighten your complexion. While these clear lotions may look like a toner or makeup remover, they’re actually moisturizers that keep your skin well-hydrated by locking in moisture.

What is the difference between HADA LABO Goku-jyun and HADA LABO Shiro-jyun?

Goku-jyun means “extra moisturizing” and is the name of our moisturizing skin care products that provide intense hydration using Super Hyaluronic Acid. Goku-jyun products are easy to identify by their white packaging. Shiro-jyun means “brightening and moisture” and identifies our brightening skin care products. Shiro-jyun products are specially formulated with botanical extracts, a vitamin C derivative, and skin conditioners to help visibly diminish the appearance of freckles, age spots, and dark spots caused from sun damage. Brightening Shiro-jyun products are distinguished by their blue packaging.

Can I use HADA LABO products if my skin is oily or pimple prone?

HADA LABO products are suitable for all skin types. They do not contain mineral oil and the Goku-jyun Lotion, Milk, and Cream are noncomedogenic so they won’t contribute to clogged pores. If your skin is oily or pimple prone, it may be because it is dehydrated. Dehydrated skin causes the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil to rebalance the skin’s protective barrier. The right kind of moisturizer, such as the Super Hyaluronic Acid in HADA LABO products, can actually help oily skin. Begin with a routine that includes HADA LABO Face Wash, then HADA LABO Lotion, and then HADA LABO Milk. You can gradually layer on other products such as HADA LABO Serum or HADA LABO Cream to see which specific combination of products provides the perfect balance for your particular skin.

Can HADA LABO products be used on sensitive skin?

HADA LABO products are free of fragrance, mineral oil, and dye. They are also pH balanced for low irritation. While suitable for all skin types, as with any skin care product, you should determine your individual sensitivity by testing HADA LABO products on a small area before beginning full use. Of course, if at any time you notice any skin irritation, you should discontinue use.

What is the significance of pH balance?

The natural acid-to-alkali balance of your skin, measured as pH, is between pH 4.5 and 6.0, making it slightly acidic. This slight acidity protects your skin, helping to kill bacteria, including those associated with acne. While too much acidity will irritate the skin, too much alkalinity is damaging as well. Dehydrated skin is often seen with high skin pH. The use of harsh soaps, for example, will elevate the skin pH level and make it more vulnerable to irritation and dryness. That’s why HADA LABO products are formulated to be between pH 5.0 and 6.5, helping balance your pH level to maintain healthy, moisturized skin.
