I have been in Korea for the past 6 weeks (normally live in Scotland) and I have been really trying to take advantage of Asian products and improve my skincare routine, with a major focus on hydration as I have very dry & dehydrated skin.
My skin hasn't really gotten any better or worse appearance-wise since I've been in Korea, but my hydration levels have improved somewhat.
I recently have been testing different products such as the COSRX Low-pH good morning cleanser and the Hanskin PHA cleansing oil, and have since gotten crazy amounts of whiteheads which won't go away no matter what I do :(
About me: 19M, Fair skin, started seriously trying to improve my skincare routine a year and a half ago, although I have had a skincare routine for maybe 4/5 years since I started getting acne.
Skin type: Dry; dehydrated; acne-prone (still have current whitehead breakouts every day on the lower 3rd of my face, mostly around my mouth, chin and nose area)
Climate: Currently hot & humid, but I normally live in Scotland which is cold, wet and windy most of the year.
Main skin concerns: Acne, dryness & PIE/PIH/acne scars
​
Current skincare routine
AM:
​
PM:
​
I also use:
​
I have been using TactuPump since November 2018, and it has mostly cleared my skin, however I still get several new whiteheads around my mouth/nose/chin area (occasionally other random places too e.g. jawline, neck forehead) every day and I use the acne-patches to help with those, but that is an adaptive method, not a preventative one.
Although I really like this routine, my skin still feels a bit dry after everything is layered on in the morning. A lot of my dryness is of course due to the TactuPump, but I can't stop using it because I break out like crazy if I don't use it.
I also find that the moisturser that I use is a little bit greasy and takes ages to sink in to my skin.
IMPORTANT NOTE I stopped using TactuPump a few weeks ago and my skin initially improved, probably due to less drying effects of the tactupump, so maybe my current breakouts are due to not using TactuPump, but whenever I use it I always have loads of nasty whiteheads all over the lower third of my face.
​
I'm broke too so pls give me affordable recommendations that I can buy in the UK/Korea lol
​
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post, I hope you have a lovely day, I would really appreciate if you could help me out, acne is ruining my self-esteem, I just want to get rid of it, it has tormented me enough for the past 4.5 years, I just want to be normal :(
omg!! toners = life for me
I once was a dehydrated, overexfoliated mess. I started using every moisturizing product under the sun and my skin loved it. I repaired my moisture barrier and everything was great. Until it wasnt. Suddenly every cream or serum made my skin clogged and breakout. Even the same exact products my skin once loved. I was so sad. I loved my multi step routine and suddenly anything beyond just cleansing and toning (western toners) made me break out.
Then I came here and asked for help and ta-daa!! I was introduced to the world of AB toners. Yesssss my multi step routine has been back in full swing ever since and consists almost entirely of toners.
So without further ado (sorry, these are not all AB but I wanted to include everything)
Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence Watery texture. I love this product. At first, I was unsure it was doing anything. I was only using it once a day and didnt notice much. Until I stopped using it and noticed that not only did I lose a certain glow in my skin, but also my following products didnt absorb the same way. I now use it twice a day and love it.
Hada Labo Gokujun Moist Thin serum texture. Really good product. Its kinda thick for my skin (again, my skin will clog up really easily from too heavy of product) so I cant use it everyday, but if I am extra dry for some reason or accidentally overdo it with actives, this will resolve my issues literally overnight. Always good to have around. Considering trying the light version.
SAEM Urban Eco Harakeke Light gel texture. OMG my favorite toner. It has the most amazing herbal smell, makes my skin feel refreshed and plump but not sticky. Calms any redness or irritation. So nice, I use this twice a day.
Thayers Witch Hazel Cucumber Watery texture. I know this is a western toner and a lot of people have VERY mixed reviews on it. But for my oily skin, it is awesome. Keeps my oil in check, and the cucumber is so refreshing and calms redness and breakouts. I would not however recommend this for dry skinned folks.
Caudalie Vinoperfect concentrated brightening essence Watery texture. Another one of my all time faves. This is an "exfoliating" type, as it contains glycolic and lactic acids. But it is suuuper gentle. Keeps my skin texture balanced and bright. My skin responds very well to this product. I use it on off days of when I use my stridex, just in case (I dont want to go back to that over exfoliated life)
Pyunkang Yul Essence Thin serum texture. I see this one getting a lot of love here and Im so glad because this stuff is definitely awesome. Makes my skin feel hydrated, has a short list of ingredients and gives my skin a certain kind of bounce. Love this one.
Whamisa Green Tea Serum Toner Serum-ish consistency. OMG loooove this toner. It contains alcohol so I would probably not recommend it for dryer skin. But again, me and my oilyness love it. Its soothing, hydrating, feels great, dries well, and my skin was responding so well to it that I upped it from once a day to twice a day and have had great results.
Toners on my wish list:
Secret Key Milk
Want so badly to venture into the Sulwhasoo life but muh goodness they are expensive and The Balancing Water Ex that is highly recommended has a lot of the same ingredients I am getting elsewhere in my routine. Eh, someday.
Lastly, here is a thread I posted last week asking for thoughts on some of the more expensive toners. With my love of toners, I was curious to hear experiences as to whether the prices are worth it or not.
Happy toning!
Hydrators & Oils:

What's your total routine look like?
If your skin is sensitive, AVOID LUSH AT ALL COSTS. Essential oils and fragrances are terrible irritants - just because it's 'natural' doesn't mean it's gentle.
A basic routine is a cleanser, moisturiser and SUNSCREEN (not negotiable, yes even in the UK), with an optional exfoliant in the evening. You should probably try a double cleanse in the evening, using an oil cleanser first to break down the sunscreen, followed by a water based or foaming cleanser.
There are two kinds of exfoliation: chemical and physical. Chemical sounds scary, but is actually much much gentler on your skin than physical, which is the traditional scruffy, scrubby exfoliant that can super irritate your skin.
Here's what you could try:
AM:
PM:
If you do choose to exfoliate, pat the product on AFTER you've cleansed but BEFORE you've used serums or lotions. Start using once or twice a week, then build up gradually as your skin gets more tolerant.
Bonus: CosRX's Snail Mucin Essence is absolutely heavenly on irritated skin, so you might want to try that. If you do try it, patch test first, then pat the liquid on after your Hadalabo lotion but before any creams.
Good luck!
It sounds like your moisturizer is not sinking into your skin because the whole point of a moisturizer is to lock in moisture.
When you told me your skin feels tight after a shower i automatically think dehydrated skin. SkincareAddiction has a good post on dehydration
What moisturizer do you use?
If I were you id use products with hyaluronic acid, like a serum or toner and then a gel based moisturizer and then at night a layer of moisturizer over that.
I also would take a break from harsh scrubs, cleansers and masks and only use the gentlest products.
Here is what I would recommend (Asian Beauty Skincare Exchange often has decants (aka small samples of products) so you can see and test out what works for you.
To get your skin back and hydrated :
AM:
Rinse skin with water -I don't know your skin type so if you're oily, use a very gentle cleanser (which i can recommend to you if needed)
Toner/Serum Hada Labo Hyaluronic Lotion Moist - many people on the skincare reddits I am active in rave about this product, because its super cheap for the amount you get and its soooo moisturizing. I personally think it is too light for me (I am veryyy dry and dehydrated, stupid midwestern weather lol) and I use the premium version of it. Some people complain about it breaking them out, but everyone's skin is so different. But I think doing a layer of this morning and night will really help.
Moisturizing Gel - this will add moisture and hydration to your skin. My favorites are Hada Labo Plumping Gel Cream and Mizon Snail Cream
You only need a little of these, but I find they are super hydrating and comforting. The Mizon Snail is an all in one miracle.
Sunscreen- pretty important step (in my opinion), some sunscreens have occlusives in it. Occlusives mean it is holding all the moisture in. Sunscreen choice really depends on your skin type (which I am happy to recommend you as well)
PM:
Double Cleanse but gently. First an oil cleanser (to remove makeup) and then a gentle water based one.
Same as morning
Then seal it all in with your moisturizer. I am so dry that I even put vaseline on my face at night and I wake up comfortable and hydrated.
As far as trying out products, if you're in the US, /u/Gothickornchic sells decants on Asian Skincare Exchange. She ships super fast and is so nice, and helpful. you can find her post here
If you don't want to do that, Amazon and most places have great exchange and return policies. Skin is very weird and its all trial and error :[ but i hope my recs help and if you need more recs let me know!
I was actually going through their product line the other night trying to figure out where "Lotion Moist" and "Milky Lotion" fit in. They must be last year's products? Neither are in the current Hydrating line. Here's what I've come up with:
This Hado Labo serum is really wonderful. I'm in a hot dry climate so I have to make my own humidity (ex: apply it right after a shower) but someone in humidity won't have that problem. ~The water in your air is your friend~ lol
​
That, and Benton Aloe Propolis Gel is my HG AM moisturizer. I layer it with the Hado Labo underneath my sunscreen on days I'm feeling particularly dry.
I love hada labo goku jyun (sp?). It's so cheap and you get so much!!
My PM routine is:
Wash with either clinique take the day off cleansing oil or the fancl mild cleansing oil (I use clinique as the dupe because the fancl is hard to get hold of in the UK).
Hado Labo hyaluronic acid
TO niacinamide and zinc
This moisturiser
Vaseline
​
AM:
wash with a little bit of TTDO cleansing oil to get rid of the vaseline, then hada labo HA, followed by the moisturiser and then erborian cc cream (i've added it as skincare because it's mildly hydrating/supposed to be a skincare-makeup hybrid and i live for it).
​
I'm pretty sure my most recent CC outbreak was because I used the cosrx good morning cleanser and it's SO drying. I was also skiing and spending time in hot tubs which, combined with such a drying cleanser and a less-than-robust moisturier (only the Simple one), caused the worst outbreak ever.
I tried differin, and through SCA I was told to use vaseline over it to prevent drying. It still caused quite a lot of redness after 2 uses, so I stopped, but kept using the vaseline to combat the dryness. I also only used the differin on one side of my chin, so I can 100% confirm that the vaseline, not the two uses of differin, that cleared the CCs.
Okay, so I think you need to build a routine based on moisture. Some products I recommend that are easily available at Target/Walmart/Amazon/drugstores:
Cleansers:
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gentle Cleansing Lotion *
Cerave Hydrating Cleanser
Toners:
Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist *
Thayers Alcohol Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner
Moisturizers:
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream *
Cerave Moisturizing Cream (aka Cerave in the tub)
Actives for texture/acne improvement:
The Ordinary Azealic Acid Suspension
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
I provided two options for each product. Note that the products with a * next to them are products I personally use and really love. The others are ones that I've seen highly recommended on this subreddit (and I also really want to try that Azealic Acid lol). I honestly think that with a simple routine like this your skin will clear right up and look really lovely, because your acne is minimal. All of these are non-comedogenic and gentle. Make sure to add only one product a week to make sure they don't break you out, and patch test on your wrist to make sure you aren't allergic to them. I hope this is helpful!
here you go - prime eligible and in the new packaging. Otherwise I would recommend a Japanese grocery near you. If you live in the Bay Area, PM me for recommendations on where to shop around here.
Edit: Ahhh, YES, use sunscreen! This def shouldn't be skipped
Hey there! I'm on Epiduo Forte (Adapalene 0.3% & 2.5% BP) so I understand where you're coming from.
I'd recommend taking it slow with applications. Have you used it every single night for 5 days straight? Don't do that!! You will damage your moisture barrier. I actually was put on Epiduo 5 days ago as well and I have only done 3 applications. The first week should be 2-3 applications to build your tolerance.
Use a bit of moisturizer before your Epiduo application. I personally use Cerave PM because my skin is dry and this is a nice lightweight "prep" for me. I also use a hydrating toner (there is a difference between hydrated and dry skin) immediately after washing my face and before the Cerave PM which helps immensely.
After I apply the Epiduo, I wait a little bit and use Vanicream - which is most likely similar to the La Roche creams you mentioned. You want something thick. Then I finish everything off with a pea sized amount of Cerave balm (basically like Vaseline/Aquaphor) and run my humidifier at night.
Despite ALL of that, I still woke up with dry patches. I think it's inevitable. Give your skin a 2 or 3 day break and focus on moisture. I do not have oily skin so that is out of my wheelhouse, but your skin could possibly be oily because it's dry and/or dehydrated. Here is the hydrating toner I use if you're interested. This will definitely help your skin.
You mentioned wanting hydration, but aside from a bit of water and hyalauronic acid in the products that are intended to be used sparingingly (your AM actives) you only have a dedicated moisturizer. Additionally, your evening routine only has moisturizers and no hydrators, and tret can be pretty drying. I’d recommend adding a dedicated hydrator that you can really layer on before your moisturizer. I usually pat in 3-4 layers of hada labo moist and perhaps a spiritz of water before my moisturizer. Other thank that your vit c and the tret are good for dark spots/wrinkles respectively as long as you are giving them time to absorb/work before the next steps of your routine. Maybe consider getting a script for a higher percent tret from your dr if your skin can handle it. A humidifier in your bedroom if you live in a dry climate is also a good idea and will complement the hydrophilic nature of the hyalauronic acid.
I have tried 3:
If I weren't working on fading a tan, I'd probably try for the Gokujyun Light or Blemish & Oil Control versions as those seem most suitable for my skin type, though I do wonder if an entire step dedicated to hyaluronic acid is necessary when it's a fairly common ingredient in many skincare products.
Some people don't like the premium version of the Hada Labo lotion because they are sensitive to urea. I've used the Hada Labo Gokujyun HA Moist version for a long time and really like it. It may not be the hyaluronic acid that is bothering you in the formula! I would give the regular version a shot.

HADALABO Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074GX619Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6o10Db85RV1P1
It's this one!! Hope you like it more than I do 😁
I am an African American guy new to skincare and AB in general. I built a plan and I wanted to get some opinions and suggestions on what I have before I follow through with buying everything. I have really oily skin, and I live in Southern California. I'm focused on wrinkles and tightening my pores and skin as a whole.
First cleanser: DHC Deep Cleansing Oil
Second cleanser: Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser
Toner: Hada Labo Alpha Lotion
Moisturizer: Hada Labo Hyaluronic Lotion
Is there an chance wrinkles are from aging and not just dry skin? If they are medium-sized, I would think it might be aging related. This may not be tolerable by him, but you can google short contact therapy for retinoids which allow for some of the anti-aging benefits without the irritation and give it a try.
I had super sensitive rosacea and psoriasis prone skin for awhile. Every single lotion I've ever tried irritated my skin, but for non irritating moisture, HADALABO Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist is unbeatable. It's not a lotion, it's a clear serum that is super mild but very moisturizing.
​
On top of that I use vaseline for extra moisture and it helps with psoriasis somewhat.
​
Hope some of this helps.
You can get it off Amazon (in the US at least) https://smile.amazon.com/HADALABO-Gokujun-Hyaluronic-Lotion-Moist/dp/B074GX619Q/ref=dp_ob_title_hpc?th=1
They should last 3 months more or less. You are probably using a lot. A few drops are enough.
If you rather like to slather on Hyaluronic Acid, try something like Hada Labo Hyaluronic Lotion. It lasts forver even if you use a lot.
I think on a wet face would def be better than a dry one, and I’d say the gokujyun one bc it’s supposed to be the most hydrating (I think it’s also called the moist version) and they have it on amazon although idk where you are so it may/may not ship to you (there are two btw the link I pasted is the cheaper one, I think the only difference is the packaging)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074GX619Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1526246641&sr=8-2&keywords=hada+labo+gokujyun+lotion&dpPl=1&dpID=412X6MF2awL&ref=plSrch
For the eye thing, if your eyes are ok with it maybe try putting aquaphor around them before you put on your skin care as like a barrier? Not sure how well it would work tho :(
Not sure what you want in a night serum? And I'd ditch the clay cleanser, simply because you already have an effective BHA product (Stridex) and you don't want to over-exfoliate your skin long-term.
You also need a stronger, separate sunscreen!
If you’re looking for hydration, I would wholeheartedly recommend Hada Labo’s Gokujyun Lotion , which has an impressive amount of Hyaluronic Acid. If you want to use a toner with an AHA, then Mario Badescu’s Glycolic Acid Tomer has a low percentage (2%) that shouldn’t interfere with the LHA cleanser.
>Using as a spot treatment is a good idea. I've been using it for years but when I started it was the only acne treatment I used at all.
Yeah! It seems like it was fine when it was your only treatment, but adding in retinoids, vitamin c, and salicylic acid may mean that now putting BP on your entire face is too much. The retinoids will give you the acne-fighting and anti-aging benefits you're looking for, while BP is just for acne, so it could work well for you to just use it as a spot treatment.
>I can't do vitamin c in the morning because once I am in sunlight it leaves an orange cast on my face. I've not had this problem since doing it at night. Idk if it's a reaction in the vitamin or something?
I don't know a ton about DIY Vitamin C serums (or what the specific ingredients of your serum are... is it an L-Ascorbic Acid serum? do you have any stabilizing ingredients in it? what is the concentration?), but it sounds like it could be a stability issue. L-AA will break down in sunlight, so maybe it's an unavoidable issue on your skin and you'll always need to use your L-AA serum at night, but maybe it's just a matter of needing to refresh your serum more often? Or store it differently so you don't have to refresh it so often? Did you ever find that you could wear it during the day the same day you mixed it but it got more and more reactive to sunlight (and turned more and more orange on your face) the older it got? If you find you always need to use it at night, it could help your skin if you alternate nights with your retinoids. Anti-aging is a long game, and it seems like most people try to find a sweet spot of frequency of application vs. irritation/dryness. When you hit that sweet spot (every other day? every 3rd day? once a week?), people find that they're able to get the benefits and manage or avoid the side-effects (irritation, dryness, etc.) more effectively.
>I would be willing to swap/drop retinol and differin, but I am really concerned with eye wrinkles and I wouldn't put differin near my eyes. Any advice there?
I would say if you are comfortable putting your Roc retinol near your eyes, then you could try using a multimasking technique where you use the differin everywhere except around your eyes, and then the Roc retinol around your eyes.
>If I'm going to be outside I'll also layer the spf 40 on top of my usual daily. It's just that my lighter moisturizer has spf in it and the heavier has none.
Thanks for the clarification! That makes sense.
>I tried aquaphor but it made the skin around my eyes feel drier honestly. Should I try Vaseline instead?
Oh interesting... I'm not sure what would cause this. I'm thinking of two possibilities:
Most people like the Premium in the Gold bottle (serum like texture).
The original classic Gokujyun Moist is very good too and viscous but less heavy.
I'll pick up the SPF today and order this recommendation. I'm happy with the ingredients list and reviews, and your personal cosign. I'm being told by Amazon UK that this is the "newer" version of your recommendation. Is this the case, or should I stick to this? I'm afraid I do not read the language. Is this an aesthetic or ingredient difference?
I have the exact same problem. I’ve been lurking r/skincareaddiction for years and war fairly overwhelmed by the mountains of products to try on a limited budget and sensitive skin. The few products that I tried were expensive and gave me allergic reactions. I started following r/asianbeauty, and I’ve had a but more luck. im only about a week into my new regimen, but i picked up Hadalabo moisturizing toner and COSRX snail cream that have seemed to help a lot.
Basically, i wash my face at night with my usual gentle wash, apply toner, let dry, apply snail cream, let dry, then apply regular moisturizer.
The last couple of days, ive had some flakes coming back, so tonight i put paulas choice AHA (exfoliating acid) on top of everything.
In the morning, I’ll either splash my face with water, or use micellar water and nothing else. Maybe a touch of my moisturizer with spf if i need it. i know i should use the spf every morning but im still figuring things out so im taking it slow.
I dont think im quite ready for foundation, but my face feels so much better so far. hope this helps!

I have redness from drying out my skin/ destroying my moisture barrier (used Differin without moisturizing properly omfg why). I think your routine is simple, but could do with more hydration layers!
I got rid of all actives for 2 months. I simply washed my face with Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, Hada Lobo Hydrating Lotion, CosRX 97% Snail Mucin Essence, The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Cream, and then Etude House Soonjun Recovery Barrier Cream.
I think the red marks are there as inflammation and irritation. I would add some sort of Hyaluronic Acid (Hada Lobo Hada Lobo Gokujun Hylaronic Acid Moist) to help attract water and promote hydration instead of drying out the skin. Put this in the morning and night after cleansing, and then layer your serums, essences, and moisturizer on top of it.
In addition, maybe changing Cetaphil to Cerave Hydrating Cleanser (if you are interested- I personally found Cetaphil way too drying and exacerbating my redness).
Finally, I would also look into Innisfree Green Tea Serum to reduce redness. Many MANY people have said great things about Rosehip Oil. For me, Rosehip Oil was the game changer- it reduced redness dramatically (it's still there, but I don't look like I'm wearing red pain on my cheeks- and I'm a brown-skinned girl, so redness just stands out). I'm thriving off a sample of Pai Rosehip Oil. It's $40, so once my sample runs out, I think I'm going to hop on the Radha Rosehip Oil train.
Finally, you should add some sort of sleep mask to help with restoring your skin barrier. I just got Laneige Sleep Mask to help with hydration.
The Etude House Soonjung Line is really good for calming redness- I'm personally thinking about adding the Pathenoside Cica Balm to help with redness.
In addition, I've heard great thing about Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream.
P.S.: Don't add all of these products at once. I'm on month two of restoring my moisture barrier after eliminating all actives. When I added in a new product, I focused on adding one product per week. If I saw after the week my face got worse, I eliminated it.
I completely second a fragrance free shave cream/soap, as well as the hyaluronic acid moisturizer afterwards. Here are some products I've used and highly recommend:
Kiss My Face Moisture Shave (Unscented) - Lathers great, non drying, very slick
Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Lotion - Wonderful after a shave; doesn't sting in the least. Non-greasy, liquidy gel-like. If you have more dry skin, a drop or two of your fave oil (I like sea buckthorn, argan, or rosehip) mixed in is great.
These are creamy/non-foaming face washes, but double wonderfully as a shave lotion. Both unscented:
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser
Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Hydrating Cleanser
​
​
Hada labo premium is my HG! The moist version is good too, but the premium is just amazing. It's cheap, effective, and I will repurchase it forever. I do the asian beauty thing of layering humectant products up when my skin is really dry, and the moist version is better for that since the premium can get sticky if you apply more than 2 layers and takes longer to absorb. I also like sheet masks (I'm not fussy about which, and I've had good experiences with making my own with a mix of hada labo moist and thayers toner) to get hydration quickly when I've overdone it with exfoliation or slacked on skincare for a few days :)
Sorry me again, is this the hydrating toner? https://www.amazon.ca/HADALABO-Gokujun-Hyaluronic-Lotion-Moist/dp/B074GX619Q
Isn't it more a moisturizer than toner?
https://simpleskincarescience.com/pityrosporum-folliculitis-treatment-malassezia-cure/
This blog is everything if you're trying to combat seb derm. I had crazy eyebrow itchiness/flakes until I started following what this blog said religiously. In summary, there are many ingredients you should avoid and some that will help combat it and this blog gives you the run down.
Also a personal suggestion for you would be this product
https://www.amazon.com/HADALABO-Gokujun-Hyaluronic-Lotion-Moist/dp/B074GX619Q/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1524926619&sr=1-4&keywords=hada+labo+lotion
You seem to have dehydrated skin and this would help a lot.
This is the new version
I don’t think there were formula changes, just packaging changes.
I'm looking to possibly incorporate Hada Labo's HA Moist lotion to my routine. Quick question: Should it come before or after Klairs Supple Preparation Toner? Or does it matter?
Hi! I'm looking for some routine help/ transitioning into a winter routine. I wanted to add some more moisture into my routine, so I purchased HADALABO Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist since it was pretty highly recommended here. My question is when do I use it? In watching YouTube how-to videos, they say to use it immediately after cleansing, as a "lotion" in Japanese skincare is what Americans refer to as a "toner." But... I'm already using Thayers toner, and I use a few actives, and my thought is that if I put the hylauronic acid lotion on first, my actives will have a harder time soaking in (?). I'm pretty new to this skincare game, so any help would be appreciated.
As far as skin type, I think I have oily skin or maybe it's normalish? I don't know. My forehead feels oily by the end of the day. I don't know if any oil on the skin constitutes having an oily skin type, or if this happens to everyone. I occasionally get breakouts, but they aren't that bad, but I'm a picker (shocking? Is my anxiety showing? Oh my god am I doing this right?!?!?!), so I make them worse.
​
Here is my routine:
​
AM:
Oil Cleanse (dear, Klairs gentle black deep cleansing oil)
rinse off with lots of water in the shower
Tone (Thayers alcohol-free rose petal witch hazel toner)
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc (The Ordinary)
Moisturizer (Glossier priming moisturizer)
SPF (Supergoop! Smooth and Poreless 100% Mineral Matte Screen)
​
PM:
Oil Cleanse (dear, Klairs gentle black deep cleansing oil)
Water (aqueous? Am I saying this right?!?) Cleanse: Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser (Once I run out of this, I want to switch to something with a lower pH.)
Tone (Thayers alcohol-free rose petal witch hazel toner)
BHA (The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution)
Retinoid (The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane)
Moisturizer (CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion)
​
I've been following this routine since probably June, and everything seems fine. I think my skin is pretty resilient. I'm just looking to have a more of a "glow" and keep breakouts to a minimum (which also just means I need to keep my hands off of my face).
​
Again, main question is when to add in Hada Labo hyaluronic acid lotion. And should I even bother with Thayers? Any suggestions are appreciated.
​
Thank you!
​
Looking for the product Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion. The product packaging seems to differ between sites and countries and also versions. To add to this confusion, online retailer listings are not always very faithful to the product names.
So is this what I am looking for?
If anyone could help me with the Japanese? Thanks a ton! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074GX619Q/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=AK0GQ5PQ7UDXE&th=1
Add. info: For combo+dehydrated skin that has been suffering lot of dryness/dehydration recently.
Yes! I use it morning and night. I do a “seven skin” method where I pat on seven layers of it and it has helped a lot! I have been struggling with the same issues as you since November and recently looked into Asian skincare products and methods. They are really big on hydration and nourishing your skin. I highly suggest (if you haven’t already) going to the asianbeauty reddit sub.
If you have any questions let me know!

I got the hada labo gokujyun high moist lotion in the new packaging but the formula looks very clear and less viscous compared to the original packaging. I thought the new packaging didn't include a reformulation so I am confused why the lotion is so different.
The links are the products in question.

new
Hey I think I have a dumb question, but was the Hada Labo lotion repackaged? Or am I confusing myself on Amazon
Is this the same as this ?
Sooo these are just suggestions 😁 you could pick one from each category...or just do it however you'd like lol

"after shave":
this shit is AMAZZZZZING
seriously if you get NOTHING else, I'd say get this Paula's Choice toner. It feels like you're extinguishing a fire when you put it on (pour it into your palms and lightly pat on your face...then do it again).

Squalane Oil is terrific. Yes, it's oil, so you may be apprehensive, but it's an oil that your body produces naturally and it absorbs extremely well and quickly. Next to the PC toner above, this is probably my most useful product. (It's way cheaper on their website directly btw.)
Always apply any oil after everything else (except sunscreen, which must always go last).

Hope this helps!! :)
Try adding in something with hyaluronic acid or a serum step.
I'm also prone to dry skin and I love Hada Labo Lotions. (It's not a lotion, it's a hydrating toner. It's from overseas and they call it lotion.)
The moist is the most popular. I love the premium.
You may find experimenting with an occlusive at night helps lock the moisture into your skin.
I love it. I have had zero flaking or skin irritation since I began using it. I mostly use it at night as it’s definitely on the thicker side. I use it in the mornings on days when I’m not wearing foundation or when my skin is extra dry. I haven’t even been using aquaphor anymore as it’s been keeping my skin so well moisturized when I sleep.
Full disclosure: I’ve also been using this as a toner.
Nivea is really heavy for daytime. What about something with Hyaluronic Acid, which will make your skin more hydrated -feeling? Hada Labo makes good ones. HADALABO Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074GX619Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_D12BCb53A9ARY
Definitely second the recommendation to see a derm. In the mean time, the biggest game changer for me when my skin was similar (but problem area was chin instead of forehead) was a $4 tube of Benzoyl Peroxide from Target (Clean & Clear Persa Gel 10, or the generic Up&Up works too). I smear that on over my problem area as Step 0 of my routine every couple of nights and let it sit for ~10-15 minutes before washing it off with my normal cleanser. I also LOVE Hada Labo Gokujun moisturizer. Buying their products can be overwhelming because there are many different varieties and very little information on them in English, but this kind is my favorite after sampling 3-4: HADALABO Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074GX619Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_qeV-Bb7YS6N04
I suggest oils like rosehip and marula for moisture but I know the folks over at /r/asianbeauty looove their CORSX snail essence! so definitely give it a try and see if you like that or any of the aforementioned oils better under your nightly cream!
hydrating lotions (they’re called lotions but are basically the same as toners) like this one from kikumasamune or this one from hada labo could work! but try the COQ10 spray! it might work just fine for you. (:
I'm trying to buy the hada labo gokujun toner on amazon, but i'm not sure which is the formula that everyone talks about ;; the 2017 one or the old one??
the new 2017 formula (seller answered a question confirming the ingredients were in a different ratio)
"old" one??
So is this the same thing? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074GX619Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_ZMyWAb26BXZ86
I have combination skin and during the day I use Hada Labo Rohto Hadalabo Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist and Cosrx Advanced Snail cream as moisturizers.
At night I will also use the same products but if I feel I need more moisture, I will add a 3rd moisturizer: Cosrx Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask. This is a cream and definitely feels heavier and a bit tacky. I'm not a fan of it but I haven't found anything better so far...
Hi guys! Really interested in incorporating hyaluronic acid into my skin care, and have been eyeing the Hada Labo Rohto Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist.
However, I see two listings for it on Amazon-- this one is a bit cheaper than this one, and also lists parabens further down on the ingredients list, so I'm def more interested in that first one. In the Q&As, the seller states that the packaging is different than in the older listing because it is the reformulation from summer 2017 (therefore it has new packaging). Is this true? It barely has any reviews so it seems a bit sketchy to me. I don't even see the supposed reformulation on the Hada Labo website.
Does anyone know if it's a fake or legit? Please and ty.
