Review : Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Wash


Product Description
Hydrates as it cleanses. Helps restore and preserve skin's natural  moisture, leaving it silky smooth. Skin ph-balanced, low irritation. Free of fragrances, mineral oil and colorant.

After all the hype surrounding Hada Labo products, I just have to give it a try, especially since I have an obsession with hydration. Made in Japan, its retailing at $12.90 for a 100ml wash n Watsons and its pretty affordable for the masses. Mine was a 20g cleanser as part of its trial kit retailing for $15.90  I love such trial kits as it gave me a chance to try their products before investing in their original sizes.

If you know me by now, you would have realized that foaming cleansers are not suitable for my sensitive and sometimes dehydrated skin so I was pleasantly surprised that I have no issue with this during my first 2 usages. It foams very well and has an addictive scent which I like.
After each wash it left my skin soft and smooth. Totally unexpected for a foam cleanser so I continued to use it as a night cleanser. Its easy to rinse off and there is no greasy or sticky after-feel. And because it foams well, I just need a pea-sized of the cleanser for the face. A little goes a long way.

However on the 3rd and 4th tries, it started to leave a slight taut feeling on the skin which goes away after a while. Even though its not a big issue but I simply did not like having an taut and dry feeling on the skin as I believed its bad for the skin in long term usage.
Considering that it contains super hyaluronic acid, I was expecting it to be hydrating on the skin but it just doesn't work quite well on my skin after awhile.
But then again, probably its just my skin. You may have better luck with it than me, who knows?
