Hada Labo Shirojyun Arbutin Whitening Lotion

I'm falling in love again.. =D


Like I said in my previous post, I just went home from my short holiday to Malaysia.


There, I bought a bottle of what I think a miraculous skincare product. It's Hada Labo Shirojyun Arbutin Whitening Lotion.


Why I say this is a miracle? Because I never have any addiction of touching my face skin before but this one bottle just made it. Yes, I admit, I have an addiction. Of touching my face skin.


Actually, before I went to Malaysia, I already had it in my mind, I have to buy this. I just read it's huge good reviews, it said that a bottle of Hada Labo lotion sold every 4 seconds in Japan (isn't it crazy??) and really curious about giving it a try. So in the first time I can step into Guardian, a drug store there after I put my baggage and suitcases at the flat, I looked for this blue bottle.


I found it in the small corner of a shelf, kinda hidden and I ran to the cashier so I won't change my mind. Lucky me, I had an offer, 10% discount (or something, I'm not so sure :p).


So let's take a peek.. :)

Hada Labo is skin care line researched & developed by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co. Japan and The Mentholatum Co.


It's a bottle with blue lid and full of Japan writings which I don't know the meaning but I love them, since i love Japan so much XD. It's a very thin liquid with less color, almost clear. 


It says lotion, but don't think that this is a moisturizer product or some kind. It's actually a toner, people in Japan call a toner as a lotion. 


What makes it so interesting about this product, beside of it's good reviews, that it says it contains arbutin, a very natural bear berry extract that being used as a natural whitening product in Japan for centuries, and Vitamin C, that we all know has a huge effects as whitening and anti-oxidant agent, also last but not least, the Hyaluronic Acid, the element that can hydrate your skin from the inside. More about the ingredients here.

So, with this mixture of ingredients I hope that my skin can be more lighter and smoother.


Another thing that makes me interested is that it claims it has skin pH balance, and only use the purest ingredients so it has a very low irritation effects, even on the sensitive skin. And also it's free of any fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol or colorant, that usually gives me allergic to a product, more plus points for Hada Labo =D

This one bottle contains 170ml product. Most of you may think, oh, it's so little product for a toner.. Actually, big no!! Because of the way this product used. We usually use a toner with a cotton pad after cleansing our face with facial foam or milk cleanser, but this Hada Labo isn't use that way. We put some of the product on our palm, and then pat it to our face with our palms until it's fully absorbed. It takes time, really, we keep pat it and pat it and pat it and pat it until suddenly it's gone. It doesn't feel sticky at all, it's just gone. Leaving our skin feels supple and hydrates but not oily, that's the most important part, not oily at all!! I have a combination skin, my cheek's are normal, but my T-Zone is oily, and Hada Labo is not bugging me and left my skin like a frying pan, just keeps my skin hydrates.


I only use about four drops of this product a time. Very little product used, so I guess this one bottle could last forever. Thank God I have 2014 expiry date printed on the bottle.


This is how much I use my Hada Labo at a time :

Very little, isn't it? And four drops are enough for my whole face.


Every morning after I wake up, I touch my face and it feels so supple, so moist and so soft.. (See? I'm addicted XD)
I don't really think about it's whitening effect, although my Mom said I'm a bit fairer after my 1 week usage, I'm happy already for the softness of my skin. Because my skin is so soft, my BB Cream can spread easily, my powder and blush last longer than usual. It also helps minimize thin wrinkles that I have around my eyes, so my fiance can't call me Grandma anymore.. XD


Made in China


Price RM45.90 but I got it for only RM41.30 = Rp.116.920,00
