Review : Hada Labo Indonesia

Hi girls!

How's your day?

Hope it's fantastic! :D

Do you know the famous skin care product from Japan called Hada Labo?

I bet it's quite familiar for some of you, since it claim to be the best selling skincare products from Japan. ( sold 1 every 2 seconds in Japan! woot woot! )

Even though I heard so many good reviews about the products, i never eager to buy them. Simply it because I need to pre-order them from an online shop because it's not available in my country, and the price is become quite high include the shipping fee. :/

And I'm quite shock the other day when I saw them in my local Watsons! Woah! When I asked the clerk about it, she said that this is the original Hada Labo that already been produced locally. The price is also inexpensive too! yeyy! :D

Without thinking much, I grab 3 products that I'm willing to try. ( I believe there's 6 different products total that displayed in Watsons Mal Kelapa Gading >> 2 types of cleanser --> both in 50gr and 100gr of packages, 3 types of toner or moisturizing lotion and a cream moisturizer ).

And here's what I've got :

Hada Labo Perfect X Simple Ultimate Moisturizing (cleanser type) >> 50 gr.

IDR. 14900 rupiahs >> around $ 1.49 US Dollar

Hada Labo Perfect X Simple Ultimate Whitening (cleanser type) >> 50 gr.

IDR. 14900 rupiahs >> around $ 1.49 US Dollar

Hada Labo Perfect X Simple Ultimate Moisturizing Light Lotion (toner type) >> 100 ml.

IDR. 31900 rupiahs >> around $ 3.19 US Dollar

Hada Labo Perfect X Simple Ultimate Moisturizing >> cleanser type

What it claim for the skin >> High Moisturizing Face Wash. Clean & Keep Skin Hydrated. Maintain Elasticity and Smooth-Healthy Skin.

Specification >> With 2 types of Hyaluronic Acid (AcHA). Removes Dirt and Provides High Hydration for Supple & Soft Skin.

Fragrance Free. Colorant Free.

For the package, it come from a squeezy tube top with a dispense like so :

The product is gel texture, milky color and turn into foam when you rub. 

It said fragrance free, that's why I still can smell true chemical compound in the product >.<"

Hada Labo Perfect X Simple Ultimate Whitening >> cleanser type

What it claim for the skin >> Clean & Moisturize. Pure Whitening to Maintain Elastic Bright Skin.

Specification >> With High Purity Arbutin + Whitening Extract + Hyaluronic Acid*. Removes Dirt, Provides Moisturizes & Brightens Skin for Bright Clear & Supple Skin.

Fragrance Free. Colorant Free.

The reason why I'm picking this one too because it claim to brightens skin. Since I know I don't need to be more white, I thought I need this to brightens my dark spots because of acne scaring.
 

(Explanation of package and texture wise is same like previous product)  



 

Hada Labo Perfect X Simple Ultimate Moisturizing Light Lotion >> toner type

What it claim for the skin >> Maintain Elasticity and Smooth-Healthy Skin.

Specification >> With 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid. With Nano-Sized Hyaluronic Acid. For Supple & Soft Skin.

 Fragrance Free. Colorant Free.

The reason why I'm picking this is it's said spesifically For Oily Skin. While I'm not sure with the other two types of moisturizing lotion, i just go with this one to see how it works on my skin.

FYI : To be honest, I didn't know what to categorize this skincare at first. But the clerk explain to me that this is a type of toner that you use after the facial wash :O

For the package, it come from a handy plaxtic bottle with a dispense like so :

 

The product is said to be "lotion", that's why in my mind it would be like some kind of body lotion. teehee! It's completely different! it's a translucent liquid, quite runny & watery also takes time to absorb to the skin. But, it felt no sticky at all afterwards. Just like water, it'd absorb and feel no sensation left on the skin.

It said fragrance free, that's why I still can smell true chemical compound in the product >.<"


 

This is my review for 3 weeks of using.

While I'm still keeping my regular skincare routine that I trust it works for me, I switch my cleanser and toner with these products. Keeping alternately the cleanser ( switching back and forth for the Hada Labo Perfect X Simple Ultimate Moisturizing & Ultimate Whitening ) for religiously 2 times a day. And changing my regular toner with Hada Labo Perfect X Simple Ultimate Moisturizing Light Lotion for also religiously after i cleanse with the facial wash.

Huff. I'm sorry I'm not gonna make a good review about these products.

Yep. It broke me out :'(

>> ermm.. I don't know if there's any factor related. Like, hormonal issue >> usually when i'm having period, one or two pimples will come out... Or, stress issue >> lately I got some freelancing job to do... Or, heartbroken issue >> haha. off the record, i just got a bad break up! :')

But, to conclude that it wasn't works on me and I had to stop using after 3 weeks of testing it out ( see pictures below ) :

My face condition Before using :

 

 My skin type is oily in whole face, that's why it shine everywhere! >,<"

 Acne scaring around my chin and forehead.

But pretty clear around my cheeks.

My face condition after 3 weeks : 

>> WARNING! SOME HORROR PICTURES BELOW! << 

 Seeing these pictures even make my heart sink :'(

 As you can see, my skin reacted pretty bad :"(

 Red pimples and even loads of mild pimples on my cheeks, chin and forehead.

For everyday, I never wore foundation or BB cream, only some concealer on my acne scaring and compact powder or blotting paper to kill the shine. With this condition, even to cover them, I had to use 2 coats of BB cream or heavier foundation + concealer.

Having this condition, still I need to test out even further. 

If I go back to my regular skincare regimen and still find this condition (for a period of time off course), I would know it's not entirely because of these products >> like I said before, so many factors related :)

But if other way, I would claim that Hada Labo just not suit me.

And it maybe different in every skin and person :)
