I loved the European version but the japanese one feels very slimey in my experience
Hada Labo Gokujyun Lotion 16 ingredients
A simple, affordable, and HUGE hyaluronic acid toner that feels rich and hydrating. Effective enough to be the only hydrating step in a routine with a couple of layers. I use it on my body sometimes too, much more affordable and better texture than the Hyaluronic Concentrate by The Chemistry Brand.
Affordable and simple moisturizer that leaves skin feeling hydrated. Layers nicely with itself or other products.
