From Sushi to Anime to Matcha Latte, we have always been thankful for all of these trending topics that are set by Japanese culture. And if those aren’t enough, the Land of the Rising Sun has also given us ‘’Mochi Skin’’ technique—the J-Beauty version to Korean’s glass skin. And speaking of beauty.. we have one more to add to the pillar. The ever exquisite, Hada Labo brand, that is believed to have its own cult following literally for transforming your skin to the better. 

If you have never heard of Hada Labo then you’re either living under a rock or you’re truly missing out on a gem. This cult-favourite brand is loved by us and many in the beauty community through their holy grail products and formulas. They’re famously known for their affordable price, high quality products and their range of lotions, essence, and cleansers that are rich in hyaluronic acid ingredients.

Today, Beauty Insider is listing out our favourite Hada Labo products and why you need to get them too!

Who Are Hada Labo?

The name Hada Labo was translated from an English word, ‘’Skin Laboratory’’. Hada Labo is a highly advanced Japanese skincare line that was developed and created in Japan’s Rohto research centre. Their brand is formulated with ingredients that are mostly found in other beauty products such as water, glycerin, glycol, sodium hyaluronate, and the famous hyaluronic acid—which is known to be the star of all formulas. And even though these elements can somewhat be dangerous to use on skin, especially to the sensitive skin, they are somewhat able to get the ‘’job done’’ and deliver the best results to your skin. In short, they can help to soothe your skin, smooth the appearance and reduce inflammation. Curious? We’ll get to the bottom of that soon. 

Since its inception in 2004, this brand has risen in popularity all around the world, especially in the United States. In Malaysia, it has become more accessible and is one brand that you will often see in stores. They are carried by major chains such as Watsons, Guardian, Tesco and Aeon.

Focusing On The Skin pH

Another thing to keep in mind regarding this Hada Labo brand, they prioritize your skin pH balance. Having carefully formulated between 5.0 and 6.5 to respect and honour your skin’s natural physiological balance. Which makes them totally suitable for all skin types and skin concerns. And the reason why they’re highlighting the use of hyaluronic acid is because hyaluronic is considered to be the most natural component to all acidic ingredients. They help to bring pH balance, smooth out your skin, and elasticity. Furthermore, hyaluronic acid contains the property to attract and retain a large quantity of water (hello hello, hydration). 

So, if your skin concerns currently are wrinkles, fine lines and loss of firmness, this is your sign to incorporate a skincare product that contains hyaluronic acid into your beauty regime. We ain’t joking, though. Moreover, Hada Labo is very particular in creating their product, thus, they use an advanced, unique blend of 3 different types of hyaluronic acid, to lock in moisture, collagen and elastin. As a result? A year long of youthful glow and illumination. No more ageing appearance. And according to the brand site, their hyaluronic acid creation came as twice as high in retention capacities. Basically, water, water, water, all around your skin fibers. Insert heart eyes emoji here.
