Review: Hada Labo Whitening Lotion (NEW nano formula)

Hada Labo lovers out there who love their products will be thrilled to know that Hada Labo Whitening range has a new nano formula for its Whitening Lotion. Let's just cut the chase and see what is Hada Labo Whitening Lotion with new nano formula is all about!

For busy ladies out there who wants speed in application of whitening products, you will be happy to know that Hada Labo Whitening Lotion provides moisture, brightening and natural fairness in just 1 bottle. In addition, it is also free of fragrance, oil, colour and alcohol which makes it perfect for anyone with sensitive skin.

The 3 main ingredients in Hada Labo Whitening Lotion are:-

1) Natural Bearberry (Arbutin) that fades brown spots and blemishes. It can help to prevent future spots with regular use, thereby giving an even toned natural fairness

2) Triple Hyaluronic acid formula which hydrates your skin from surface to deep within. Skin becomes smoother to reflect light better

3) Vitamin C which increases the glow of your skin

Hada Labo Whitening Lotion is extremely light and watery which really makes your skin feels properly moistened. It spreads very quickly over the skin surface and gets absorbed very easily as well. The skin surface does not feels sticky after application at all.

As the time frame for usage is less than a month, it's hard to assess the whitening effect so this post is really a inital-feel review.

Hada Labo Whitening Lotion is retailing at $22.90 at Watsons, Guardian Pharmacy, Sasa and major supermarkets and departmental stores. if you would like to try out a sample before committing to a full-sized bottle, you will be glad to know that you can visit hadalabo.com.sg for free samples. :)

Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Makeup Remover

I am reviewing  Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Makeup remover in this post after using it for close to 2 weeks. This is actually a random purchasee at Watson's some time back when there was some offer going on for it.

This is a gel-based makeup remover which you massaged onto your dry face (with your dry hands) and then rinse off. As you can see from the picture below, it is a clear gel and is fragrance free.

 

Although this product contains super hyaluronic acid which has twice the moisture retention capacity of hyaluronic acid, my skin ironically felt dry and tight after using it. I do not even experience such tightness when using Fancl's Mild Cleansing Oil. Typical of any normal makeup remover, it removes all traces of makeup nicely and thoroughly but however is unable to remove waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Although this cleanser claims to be fragrance free, it has a weird plastic smell to it which I loathe.

My personal review of this makeup remover is I would not repurchase and would rather spend another $10+ more for Fancl's Mild Cleansing oil.

Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum

As far as I can remember, I always have freckles on my cheek bones and hear-say has been that it is hereditary. But in the recent years, perhaps due to age, it seems that I am getting more and more of such freckles and pigmentation. I use sunblock consistently (SPF50 somemore!) and I still do not understand how am I getting more and more pigmentations. To add to my unhappiness, my acne scars are still around...... what the hell........

I have tried cheap whitening essence like Olay, mid range like Ettusais whitening serum but all just seems to be useless. Olay gives me breakouts and Ettusais doesn't seem to help as I do not see any difference. I battled with myself for the longest time and wonder it is true that we cannot save on skincare and the more expensive ones works better (this is what my sis tells me, 一分钱，一分货) and said to say, this is really the case for my skin. I always get breakouts, dull or rough skin when I used drugstore brands like Olay and Hada Labo. But my skin seems to brighten up when I used salon brands like Adonis, or higher range like Shiseido and SK II. Much as I love to save money on skincare, it just doesn't work for me. I have switched away from Shiseido products for about 3 months to try drugstore brand and my skin deteroriated with roughness and breakouts and it's time for me to splurge on skincare once again to save my skin!

Serious help is really needed for my dull skin and pigmentation and I decided to switch from the normal Skincare range to the White Lucent range. It's generally $10 - $15 more expensive per product but I only purchased the softener and whitening serum first. The intensive spot targetting serum is supposedly the star product and target freckles, age spots, acne scars, EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!!!

Shall give this a try and see whether I can see any results.............
