If you are building a routine around Korean and Japanese skincare, its simple, hydration-first steps are an easy place to start.

Hyaluronic Acid Skincare From Hada Labo

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, which means it draws water into the skin, and it is usually the first ingredient people think of for dry or dehydrated skin. Hada Labo Tokyo builds its range around it, including its Super Hyaluronic Acid™, which combines three types of hyaluronic acid to hydrate at different levels of the skin. While hyaluronic acid can feel like a recent addition to skincare, it has been a staple of Japanese skincare for decades.

A simple place to start is the Gentle Hydrating Cleanser, a creamy, foamy cleanser that pairs well with an oil cleanser for a double cleanse. Follow it with the Lotion No.1 Super Hydrator, a hyaluronic acid lotion for dry, depleted skin. To finish, the Intense Hydrating Skin-Plumping Gel is a gel cream moisturiser for combination skin, while the Absolute Smoothing & Moisturising Cream has a fluffy, richer texture.

What Is Hada Labo Lotion and How Do You Use It?

Lotions, essences and beauty waters can be confusing, so it is worth clearing up what a Hada Labo lotion actually is. It is not a moisturiser. It is a water-thin toner that works as a hydration step, adding moisture to the skin before you move on to your serum and cream.

After cleansing, pat the lotion into the skin before your serum and moisturiser. Think of it as a base layer of hydration that the rest of your routine builds on. If you are looking for more hydrating toners and essences, you can browse the wider range too.

Building a Routine With Hada Labo

Hada Labo also makes serums, eye creams, sheet masks and SPF50+ sunscreens, so you can build a full routine from one brand. Check each product's ingredients list for anything your skin does not tolerate, and introduce new products one at a time so you can see how your skin responds. Most routines work best when the steps stay simple: cleanse, hydrate with a lotion, then lock it in with a moisturiser.
