Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Whitening Lotion 20 ingredients
Great product to prevent hyperpigmentation and sun spots due to the tranexamic acid, licorice root, and vit C derivative. My post acne marks fade a lot faster. Very gentle and hydrating to use daily, it spreads and absorbs easily. My dry acne prone skin loves this, no comedogenic, no alcohol or fragrance.

Really promising product but it gave me closed comedones ☹️
I really wanted to like this. It’s light and hydrating. Leaves my skin feeling plump afterwards, but I noticed cc’s forming on my cheeks. It also doesn’t play nicely with my azelaic acid prescription. I haven’t used it long enough to see the brightening effects.
Not sure if it’s just my current routine, pero the Hada Labo Gokujyun Show more
