I have slowly transitioned my skincare products to K & J beauty over time! My skin has made a dramatic change. I use Hada Labo oil cleanser in my double cleanse but continue to use Cerave hydrating as my second cleanse. I also use the Hada Labo skin plumping gel which is amazing.
I am acne prone and I use the Hada Labo oil cleanser as a first step to remove makeup or sunscreen. I love it and it never has broken me out, as long as you emulsify, completely wash away and follow up with a second cleanse I don’t think it would be an issue for most. I will say though it doesn’t remove all my mascara, I use neutrogena eye makeup remover to get rid of every spec of mascara afterwards.
Abby, I really appreciate all your research and how this video is packed full of info that I've been needing. I don't mind about the confusion with how lotions in J-beauty are really hydrating toners, because I've always been confused about that too; I just noticed the video title and see you might want to edit it to say Asian Skin Care Haul. (Don't be annoyed, I work as an editor for a living, lol) XO Julie
Clog prone in my jawline area & the oil cleanser is so great on my skin. And has stopped me from rubbing. I didn’t realize how just using a baby washcloth to wipe oil off was causing so much irritation. My fave first cleanser ever & I have used so many!
I don't use cleansing oil either but the best one in my opinion is the Kose softymo speedy cleansing oil. Its main ingredient is mineral oil so the risk of clogging pores is very small, in fact I found that it got rid of gunk and buildup in my pores, it emulsifies and rinses off perfectly. It doesn't sting my eyes, it has no fragrant ingredients or possibly sensitising ingredients such as citrus extracts (I'm looking at you DHL), a little goes a long way because it's so slippery (so you don't have to tug at your skin and don't have to worry about friction from your hands), plus It's as cheap as it gets. I highly recommend it! I've only tried two cleansing oils, the other being the one from Paula's Choice which did everything wrong imo, with that one I basically had the opposite experience compared to the one I had with the Kose cleansing oil. Thought I'd share in case anyone on a budget who has sensitive and oily + acne prone skin needed a cleansing oil recommendation
Hadalabo is a the longest owned product in my collection. So glad its where i began my journey. Love their products sooo much. The arbutin lotion is my faviurite. Helps to fade pigmentation and prevent reoccurance. So hyrdrating too.
Hi Abbey, I am a newer subscriber but I thought it was important that I take the time out to say THANK YOU! I've started catching up on a lot of your videos, and the fact that you post so consistently and frequently, do such thorough research and make such evidence informed videos is so rare on youtube. How you do all this while still managing another full time job is amazing! Alongside Dr. Dray, I always come to your channel to learn more about skincare and to hear your reviews before I purchase anything. So please know how much the viewers and subscribers truly appreciate your hard work - it does not go unnoticed :) I'm looking forward to seeing your future content and how much your channel will grow. I have a good feeling this channel will gain the attention is deserves soon and will totally skyrocket!!
I have been using the premium lotion right after cleansing on damp skin and then the premium milk after serums and my skin has been very plump and glowier than ever. Every time I stop using both - I really notice a difference and immediately go back. Also you cant beat the amount of product you get for the price! Hada Labo is one brand I keep buying. I love trying out new products but keep these as my staples.
I have super oily skin and I suffered pimples for a decade and the hydrating cleanser and the hydrating essence stopped my pimples like super, i rarely get pimples anymore. I'm using them over a year now. Gosh i'm not letting these products go. 😘😘😘
Losshe the first one in the video. I apply to my dry face with dry hands and it melts the makeup. Then you wet your hands just a bit and keep massaging the melted makeup on your face and it will turn milky white. Then you can rinse it off clean. Next use the regular face wash to remove anything left. All done!
Losshe I have tried SOO many. This one is my absolute fave. My skin is better using it bc I don’t have to rub at all to remove it. It’s amazing. I always had to use a baby cloth to take off remaining mascara. W this, it rinses sooo clean! My skin also loves hyaluronic acid.. so..
So the milk has been a godsend. I use before heavier creams. It has been great at keeping my tret skin moisturized and peel free. I also use the lotion as a toner. Hada Labo is a great, affordable brand.
This is the second video I've seen today about oil cleansers. Alot of people have talked about how several oil cleansers does not get off all their makeup and they feel their face is still not clean after a second water based cleanser. This is interesting. Great video! 🤗❤
found this video from another channel talking about this product..holy moly you did your homework !!!! I'm always impressed when people actually know what's in the product they're talking about..thanks for a great video..
I love your reviews.. so informative and thorough! I was surprised to hear that you didn't use the cleaning oil as a makeup remover (in the same way you'd use the micellar water), and then following up with a water based cleanser. i don't think i've seen anyone use this cleansing oil as an actual cleanser.
Thank you! ♥️ I think they’re great for SPF removal but I just don’t personally love using oils to remove foundation / a full face of makeup! I was using it for SPF removal in the application clips here, not as a cleanser to remove sweat/dirt.
Yeah I was surprised too. Using an oil cleanser as a first step is way milder and it removes even the thickest makeup than using a cotton with a micellar water, plus it's not helping the earth with those cottons. ❤
I agree....why not the dubbel cleansing...after the oil cleanser then follow with the foam cleanser....but IT is messy 🤭...a cleansing balm is also an option...
@@MikeClimaco I use microfiber towels for makeup removal :) I almost always use a separate cleanser for SPF removal even on days when I'm not wearing makeup, which is what the case was the day I filmed this!
Hi Abbey! Great job presenting the differences between all these guys! My question has to do with the Premium Emulsion. If it contains dimethicone, and especially mineral oil, if I went in with it before my water-based serum, wouldn’t it have a hard time busting through those two occlusive ingredients? Thx so Much!
I think you would like the whitening it has arbutin and vitamin c or anti aging one that has retinol They absorb better and have treatment ingredients.
Love the milk!! Prefer Senka perfect whip for my cleanser though. I do perform a double cleanse but have not found micellar water beneficial at all unfortunately. Thanks for reviews 🙂
I think I’m gonna get that hydrating milk! Looks perfect for days when I don’t feel like doing toner+essence+serum. I usually only do those steps cuz it’s a self care ritual for me and helps me calm down but sometimes I’m in a rush. I love my soonjung emulsion but it’s not quite hydrating enough to replace all those steps so I think I’m gonna try that hydrating milk out it looks great
they have an HA “lotion” which is clear and watery and has an essence texture and slip to it, and that ones amazinggg for oily skin and dry skin. it sits really nicely under a moisturizer or SPF
I would love to try either the milk or emulsion. Probably the milk since it would sound cool to have a facial “milk” in my skincare collection just for some extra moisture when I need it. Great video! Never heard of the brand before!
Another great informative (and entertaining) review thank you Abbey I have really wanted someone to do a full review of this brand, really appreciate your reviews, I do not understand Japanese or Korean so reading ingredients on some websites is totally confusing when they do not provide English translation so I am a lazy shopper and just give up on those products, 😀
Hi, so the Hada Labo Gokujyun Hydrating Facial wash has another variant which is the foaming one. The formulation is also a little bit different with Lauric Acid not being present so if you're prone to having comedones (like me), maybe this one would work for you because other than that, there aren't any potential ingredients in here that are comedogenic. I already purchased this foaming variant online and just waiting for it to arrive at my door. Hopefully this would work on my combination to oily skin tho I plan to only used this in mornings because even though I'm especially quite oily whenever I wake up, I also would like a cleanser that is not drying or that has this tightening effect. The only thing I'm worried is that the Hydrating Water Gel (good for normal to oily and even combination as it says) of Hada Labo that is not mentioned in this video has this one specific ingredient that could potentially trigger comedones (Isostearyl Isostearate) but they're quite pass from the list of the first 7th ingredients (around 39th place the last time I checked it) so I'm giving myself a little hope that this comedogenic ingredient is diluted so that my face is a little bit safer. I regret not doing a little research on this hydrating gel 😭 I'm planning to do patch test on a small ara of my t-zone for this hydrating gel so if ever I did get some comedones on that part, I could treat it easily with a cream that I own which has salicylic acid on it. I ain't going back to the 16 year-old me who literally have a bumpy and uneven skin. Not anymore 😭😭😭
Omg Abbey you must be reading my mind. I’ve been debating on getting some products from this brand and hoping you would review it because I trust your videos and got amazing recommendations form you! This came at a perfect time! Thank you! I just love your content! Keep shining
Yeah I found the cleansing oil to not be the best for my acne prone skin, agree with you there. Also question, have you tried the CeraVe micellar water? I know that you prefer miceller water and was wondering what your thoughts were
😲 I literally just bought a serum and gel cream from Hada Lobo this week! Too funny LOL!!! I'm a loyal CeraVe girl but wanted to mix it up 😏 so excited for this video ❤️
Actually, the term "lotion" in J-skincare means toner, while the term "milk" means lotion or emusion. That's why you find that premium lotion lighter than the Goku Jyun milk.
Wondering about H2O+ brand? Recently got a sample of their sensitive moisturizer and it doesn’t break me out or set me on fire. I wonder if it is worth the money?
Great video. I use a lot of Japanese and Korean skin care and makeup lately. They have some amazing products. Very informative!! So very off topic but I heard you say you are tall. Just wondering if you also wear a larger women's shoe? The reason I ask is I am 5'11" and wear a size 13 in women's. Have a really hard time finding great shoes. Also would love to hear where you get long enough pants 👖, jeans or lounge wear that is long enough. Thanks ahead of time. Newer subscriber too. Sorry for going rogue and way off topic.
I use the oil cleanser as part of my double cleanse routine. So first the hada labo oil cleanser to remove makeup and sunscreen and then I use the cerave hydrating cleanser. I love the perfect gel! I use it after washing my face without drying it to lock in water and then I use the eucerin redness moisturizer to lock everything in. I also like the premium lotion but I prefer the perfect gel bc it's thicker.

Hada Labo + Cerave is a great combo 😍

In Japanese Skincare, which includes Hadalabo, a Lotion is actually a hydrating toner ;)

ohhh how interesting! I had no idea :)
@@jcjccmz so glad you're enjoying them!
What about emulsions and milks?
I really like the Hada Labo UV White Gel SPF 50+. It’s really hydrating but doesn’t make me oily
The Premium lotion is meant to be applied right after cleansing/before thicker moisturizing steps.
Clog prone in my jawline area & the oil cleanser is so great on my skin. And has stopped me from rubbing. I didn’t realize how just using a baby washcloth to wipe oil off was causing so much irritation. My fave first cleanser ever & I have used so many!

Which oil cleanser do you use?

I'm also acne prone. What's your favorite oil cleanser?

The Hada Labo Lotion is supposed to be before the actives (serums) to help hydrate and help in the absorption of next products
Hi Abbey! Great job presenting the differences between all these guys! My question has to do with the Premium Emulsion. If it contains dimethicone, and especially mineral oil, if I went in with it before my water-based serum, wouldn’t it have a hard time busting through those two occlusive ingredients? Thx so Much!
I also like their uv gel moisturizer that includes vitamin c
I think you would like the whitening it has arbutin and vitamin c or anti aging one that has retinol They absorb better and have treatment ingredients.
The premium lotion contains urea and that's rly good for fungal acne! Can't wait for mine to arrive 😇
Ohhh yay!
This is a Japanese skincare haul, not Korean.
Thank you! ♥️
Love the milk!! Prefer Senka perfect whip for my cleanser though. I do perform a double cleanse but have not found micellar water beneficial at all unfortunately. Thanks for reviews 🙂
Good morning all, I use the oil cleanser and I have combination skin and it works great!

Yeah I found the cleansing oil to not be the best for my acne prone skin, agree with you there. Also question, have you tried the CeraVe micellar water? I know that you prefer miceller water and was wondering what your thoughts were
You should give the Simple Gel Cream a look over!! Also would love to see a review on the Simple Water Boost line 💙💙
I’ll look into both! 😊
Love this review... yes love Asian skincare. Keep them coming please 🙏🏼😊
Yay will do 😊
I’ve been using the Hada Labo cleansing oil to remove the Australian Gold sunscreen from my hands after I apply it to my face in the morning.
Amazing!!
I’d love to see a Purito review!!!!
😲 I literally just bought a serum and gel cream from Hada Lobo this week! Too funny LOL!!! I'm a loyal CeraVe girl but wanted to mix it up 😏 so excited for this video ❤️
how long do you use skincare products before u switch to review a new one cz i heard u could break out from switching products a lot
Switching to new products shouldn’t cause a breakout unless the new products have irritants and or comedogenic ingredients!
Thank you for the video! I am one of the few that have a reaction to squalene. Does the premium have it? Thanks you.
I have dry and acne pore skin so which will be best for mi Had Labo hydrating milk or premium milk?????
The cream FA safe? I am searching a moisturize FA safe in Asia
Hi. Does the premium have retinol? Is it pregnancy safe?
Thank you so much for this! And love your accent. New sub!
Thanks for subscribing ☺️
I have acne oily skin which Hadalabo cream should I get??
Actually, the term "lotion" in J-skincare means toner, while the term "milk" means lotion or emusion. That's why you find that premium lotion lighter than the Goku Jyun milk.
Thankyou for this review. I love hada labo ♥️
Of course! It is great 😊

Hi do you apply this day and night?
U put so much work on the video 🎆
🧡 Hado Labo! Thanks for the info!
This hair 😍😍😍
🥰🥰
Ill trying soon!
i have tried the premium but it was so heaavy, sticky, tacky and didn't absorb at all.
I've tried the gokujun milk and had a VERY bad irritation !
Bummer so sorry 🥺
Great video. I use a lot of Japanese and Korean skin care and makeup lately. They have some amazing products. Very informative!!
So very off topic but I heard you say you are tall. Just wondering if you also wear a larger women's shoe? The reason I ask is I am 5'11" and wear a size 13 in women's. Have a really hard time finding great shoes. Also would love to hear where you get long enough pants 👖, jeans or lounge wear that is long enough. Thanks ahead of time. Newer subscriber too. Sorry for going rogue and way off topic.
So glad you thought so! I actually have size 9 feet so I don’t have that issue but Topshop jeans are my favorite! I have a try on video for that 😊
Always jealous of tall women with smaller feet. Been a struggle for life!! Everyone stops at an 11! I will look into topshop, thanks.👍🏻😊
