Hada Labo is one of those brands that I wanted to try, mainly because it contains Hyaluronic Acid (HA in short).  I was not aware that the range contains make-up remover so when it comes with the trial kit set, I was pleased that I was able to try it. Initially, it was my intention to review their star product ( the lotion) and the moisturiser but my skin seems to have some breakouts after using them and hence I am still monitoring my skin condition.  Its only fair to give a more accurate review.

In the meantime, I have been using the 30ml make-up remover for more than a week. Am I glad that its just a small bottle, because it stinks. It stinks like glue, which I used to use in my art class. I absolutely hated the scent.

It does not quite work on cotton pads since its not supposed to be used that way. There is no slip and its difficult to glide and wipe on the face, with the cotton pad.

The best way, is to use it like a gel cleanser but on dry skin and it does remove my light to medium make-up effectively without leaving any undesirable residue. The texture is abit oily, even though the colour looks clear.

I also used it on a wet face, with not much problems, just that it felt less oily.
That said, please note that it does not really remove my eye make-up thoroughly, especially waterproof eye make-up, eyeliner, etc.
Its not exactly a big issue to me, since I usually use a separate eye make-up product.

I am glad that because of its Super HA, there was no tight feeling and skin feels fresh and clean. I still follow up with my cleanser thereafter. Since it does not contain colourants, fragrance, alcohol or mineral oil, I supposed that it may works well on sensitive skin. 

In conclusion, I will not get this again, because of its stinky gluey smell.
