Reddit mentions of Premium Hyaluronic Acid Milky Lotion 4.7floz/140ml Rohto Hadalabo Gokujyun

There are many popular products that people swear by to help treat dry lips.

My preferred method is this:

• I apply a droplet of Kiku-Masamune High Moist Lotion on my lips and let it sink in
  
• I then add a drop of Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion on them and let it dry down a tad
  
• Then I follow up with either Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask or Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask
  
  During the daytime when I’m out I’ll use Jack Black Intense Lip Therapy SPF 25 as my last layer instead.
  
  About the products mentioned:
  
  
• The Kiku High Moist is a facial toner that’s full of great ingredients such as ceramides and arbutin, among other items. It is sake-based and has a unique scent because of it. I bought it to use as a hydrating toner in my facial routine, but have since learned that it has many additional great functions. I use it on my body as well, and others have even mentioned using it on their hair. When I’m doing my face routine I just make sure to add some to my lips as well, or if I am just having dry lips I’ll just add a tiny drop to my finger and rub it on my lips as a first layer.
  
• The Hada Labo is also a hydrating toner. It has 5 different Hyaluronic acid molecules, which are humectants. The hyaluronic acid will trap moisture.
  
• The Laneige Lip Mask is a thick lip mask that moisturises the lips (although you can just apply a tiny amount for thinner application). It’s meant to be put on at night as an overnight treatment for your lips, but some people (like me) like to also use it throughout the day, just not as heavy of an amount. The standard scent is berry, but if you search on some Asian beauty sites you’ll see that it also comes in vanilla, grapefruit and apple lime. Here is a link to a review of the product posted this week
  
• The Bite Agave Lip Mask is a very thick lip treatment, but the main ingredient is lanolin. I haven’t tried plain lanolin, so I can’t compare it to the basic stuff, but you could try just purchasing a generic brand of lanolin instead if you preferred.

You need to let us know the exact product you're using. A "gentle" X doesn't mean much; I've seen products labeled "gentle" that are filled with problematic ingredients. If it's just a regular oil, what kind? Lots of "good" facial oil can be super good for some people while being triggering others.

Is it a properly manufactured oil cleanser, one that rinse off cleanly? Or one that still leaves residue behind? Oil residues can clog up your pores - especially when it has impurities that wasn't properly washed off your face inside it. This is why I'm a big fan of the Asian "double cleansing" method: use a good manufactured oil cleanser that emulsifies properly then follow up with a 2nd cleanser that get rids of the oil residue and water solubles. Cerave Hydrating Cleanser is a top choice here. The Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser (creamy, fragrance free) is also good.

Having tight/dry skin is a classic symptom of your moisture barrier being damaged. And a compromised moisture barrier is very prone to acne. I would drop all the products other than pure Vaseline and a pH-balanced cleanser listed above.

Vaseline retains 99% of the skin's trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) - thus preserving the moisture that the skin need to heal. Apply a thin layer of Vaseline in the morning and a thicker layer at night. Keep this up for at least a couple days to a week and reexamine your progress. Once your skin is less tight/irritated, you can consider adding a serum to help boost the process. Some good and cheap ones are The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, and The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc.

I personally really like these Japanese ones: a watery, hydrating "lotion" toner <- this is to be kept on the skin, not wiped off. And also a a thicker serum.

Then you can start adding a regular moisturizer with ceramides in it, Cerave PM lotion is very good as long as you are not allergic/sensitive to fatty alcohols (the good type of alcohol).
