I was minding my business as usual when I saw that my favourite local online beauty store carries Hada Labo. At that point I was running out of everything; face wash,essence,even already out of moisturizer. Not only did they have Hada Labo, they were also on their spring sale. So I copped this at $14.00!It goes for $26.00 on Amazon so I can't pretend to not be glad I saved that much.I also got the Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion but that review will be coming later. It has a very Japanese looking package, and I really love it. I'm always so sad I can't read the many things written on the boxes of their products. It looks like a jar of hair wax and also has a similar texture.

It is an occluding moisturizer and it was touted as super moisturizing, maybe even too moisturizing for some people. It contains 100g of product! I am very heavy handed with moisturizers so large sized products make me so happy. I have combination dry skin(really dry perimeter, oily to normal t-zone) that claim was really interesting to me. Everyone one with combo skin knows the struggle is about finding a moisturizer that can hydrate dry zones without clogging the oily zones. Using two moisturizers for is appealing to very few people.
When you first apply the moisturizer it is so hydrating! It makes my skin feel very soft and smooth, instant chok chok feel. I've been using it for a week and my skin is definitely brighter and has more of a glow. Keep in mind that my skin was a little dehydrated before I got the moisturizer. I'm careful not to slather it on when wearing it under my sunscreen because it'll never dry down and it slows down my routine .Its a perfect night moisturizer, some people say it leaves a film but its really just right for me(not noticed a film). Looking at the claims ''HADA LABO Goku-jyun Perfect Gel has 5 functions: Lotion, Milk, Cream, Serum and Mask in one product.'' What a lot of pressure to put on one product! Its a pretty good moisturizer, but probably only normal skinned people will enjoy using only this all day. If I had no choice I could use this alone and be ok for a few days. I like this, but is it really better than French Pharmacy moisturizers? I'll be back after I empty this jar.
