Hada Labo Tokyo Review – Super Hydrating Premium Skincare

I love trying out new face care and beauty products, so when I was contacted to do a Hada Labo Tokyo review I was very excited to get started. The range has recently been made available in South Africa by Mentholatum SA and it is now available countrywide at Clicks stores.

***Disclosure – This post is a trade exchange (the products were gifted in exchange for a review), the views remain my own***

Hada Labo Tokyo Products

The key ingredients in Hada Labo Tokyo skincare products are hyaluronic acid, retinol, collagen, tetrapeptide-5, resveratrol ex, silk tree extract, and caffeine.

The top key ingredient is hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the human body, attracting and binding water. In youth the body produces hyaluronic acid readily. However with age and exposure to the sun, skin cells produce less hyaluronic acid. When hyaluronic acid is included in skincare products it boosts moisture levels and assists the skin to strengthen and regain its natural hydrating ability and youthful qualities, as well as plumping the skin.

Hada Labo Tokyo products have Super Hyaluronic Acid™, a unique and powerful combination of 3 types of hyaluronic acid, anchoring moisture to 3 different layers of the epidermis to rehydrate the skin at multiple levels. This results in superior, long-lasting moisture retention keeping the skin hydrated and less prone to wrinkles, promoting firmness and elasticity.

I received the full range of Hado Labo Tokyo products below to try out and review.

My Hada Labo Tokyo Review

The first thing that stood out for me when I unboxed my Hada Labo Tokyo hamper was how beautiful and high end the packaging is. Everything is so shiny and striking. You have to admit that when you get something in a beautiful box it makes you feel pampered before you even open and try the products. First impressions mean a lot and I was very impressed right from the start.

I’ve been using all the products for a month now and I’m loving every single one. My skin is prone to getting dry now that I’m over 40, especially now with the warmer weather and the wind in the West Coast is unforgiving. I’m looking younger and my skin is looking brighter and in much better health than before.

My favourite products are the Anti-Ageing Super Hydrator and the Oval V-Lift Hydrator Cream. The Anti-Ageing Super Hydrator is simply outstanding. There are often times during the day when my face feels dry and worn out and I’ve gotten into the habit of quickly applying this product when that happens and the difference is immediate in the way that I feel and look.

The Oval V-Lift Hydrator Cream is my next top pick, I love how moisturized and soft my face is after using it.

I have to mention the one downside of receiving an amazing hamper of such superb quality skincare products – my husband is big on face products and he not only dug in with gusto, he requested regular facials from me. Talk about stealing my self-care right? My husband spends more every month than I do on skincare products so he was delighted when I received this hamper and tried out all the products.

My husband’s top pick is the Anti-Ageing Wrinkle Reducer  day Cream, he said it is one of the best creams he has used to date. I’ve let him keep it but made him promise to leave the rest of the products for me.

The Deep Wrinkle Correct Eye & Mouth Cream is lovely. I’ve got loads of wrinkles forming around my mouth so it was great to get something special for that area and my wrinkles have not been as noticeable since starting to use it.

The cleanser is very gentle and effective. I’ve tried a lot of facial cleansers that are so harsh on the skin, leaving my skin clean but dry and tight afterwards. This cleanser cleans my skin perfectly and leaves my skin feeling nourished.

The plumping gel immediately nourishes my skin and now that I have been using it regularly for a month I’m starting to notice that my skin is looking more youthful.
