Hada Labo Tokyo Plumping Gel Cream, Facial Moisturizer, Clinically Proven to Provide 24-Hour Moisture in One Use, Super HyaluronicAcid, Ceramides, Collagen, No Parabens, Dyes or Fragrance, 1.76 oz

I was SOOOO excited to finally try this after hearing so much hype about it. IT LIVES UP TO THE HYPE! 👏👏 This has no scent which is a positive for those who are turned off or are sensitive to fragrance. It is also much more lightweight on the skin than I expected. I could definitely use this for daytime. Nighttime will work as well, although I might add in a dab of heavier night moisturizer on top of for personal preference on some nights, depending on how my skin feels. What surprised me is that there is “something” so different, so unique and special about this product that is hard for me to put into words. As I applied it onto my face, I felt the lightest, most smooth layer of buttery fat in the BEST way possible!! Might be the collagen? Hyaluronic acid is also in this product and I am aware, but I also have other face moisturizers with hyaluronic acid, and this product JUST FEELS.. DIFFERENT.. in the way I described.. like the lightest ever layer of heavenly fat that my skin needed. My skin was literally screaming “Where have you been all my life?” This buttery goodness on the skin is not overwhelming and not greasy at all like animal fat or putting oil or Vaseline on your face. The only thing I can think of that is giving me this heavenly effect is the Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen or merely it’s their prefect combination of ingredients. After my skin has had time to soak up, what’s left is SUPPLE, ULTRA SOFT, VELVETY, HYDRATED skin. So supple, so soft, so velvety, so hydrated. It’s just simply LUXURIOUS. Have I found my holy grail?!! I’m glad I finally gave this product a chance. I know this product is “not new”. In fact, I think it’s been around awhile? I have spent upwards of $40-$80 on other face creams and they do not compare. This product is $18!!!!! That’s crazy. I think I will keep buying this product for a very long time. I had folks in the skin care community raving (more like whispering as to not give away their secret) about this product—sometimes when a product goes viral, price tends to also skyrocket. I plan to also purchase Hada Labo’s overnight treatment. If the gel cream is already this good, I cannot wait to see what the overnight does to my skin. I just started on this gel cream and will also add in the overnight treatment shortly, so I may come back to update on any long term changes to my skin texture, plumping, brightness and if any effects with the formation of fine lines in the various areas of my face that I’m trying to slow down.

Absolutely love this product! I've just finished a jar and had to be sure and re-order. I noticed such an improvement in my skin after about two weeks and by the end of the jar it was my new favorite. It glides on and so little is needed that a jar lasts quite a while. I also noticed it did lighten my skin, as it claimed it would, after a while. I've never had a product works so well and I've sensitive skin. I highly recommend it.

Wow, I am very impressed with this cream. I was hesitant on using it at first since I did not have a good experience using Korean Skincare products, but I’m glad I gave Japanese skincare line a try. I just started using it last night and with all honesty, majority of the redness on my cheeks have calmed and diminished. I was shocked waking up this morning to a glowing even skin tone! I have mild rosacea, dry-normal and sensitive skin on my face and this is the first product that has really worked for adding moisture. I have tried so many skincare brands, from PCA, Dermalogica, COSRX, First Aid Beauty, Peter Thomas Roth, to pure Hyaluronic acid and Rose Hip Oil on its own and none of them gave me the deep hydration my skin needed. Texture Expectation: The texture of this cream is very light and silky. When applied it does not feel compact or condensed, however it does make the face appear very dewy/oily. The feeling of how hydrated your skin feels makes up for it. Gave 4 Stars because it’s a new product I just tried and it’s too soon to tell of major benefits. I will follow up with photos and additional feedback in a few weeks to show longer results. Besides this cream, I do use more products in my routine.

I love this skin cream so much. It can be used night or day, though I typically use it in the evenings. I wash my face, add actives and serums, and then I lightly mist my face before applying this cream in a dime to quarter sized amount. It feels so luxurious, and makes my skin so supple and pretty. Once this products has dried down and absorbed a bit, a minute or two, I add an occlusive product over it such as a lighter lotion or heavier moisturizer, depending on my skin needs for that day. It's important to add this on top of dampened skin and to then lock that moisture in with an occlusive so it won't draw all of the moisture out of your skin and dry up. Otherwise, you defeat the purpose of using hyaluronic acid products and the result is skin that is desperate for hydration. That is key for all products and serums containing hyaluronic acid. I love a few products in this brand's line, and the deep cleansing oil, hydrating foaming face wash, and this plumping cream are what I continue to repurchase time and time again I love waking up in the morning with hydrated, plump skin that is so soft and healthy-looking. The price on this is pretty stellar as well- it lasts me a couple of months, and I use it most evenings. Love, love, love this stuff! It has never made me overly greasy or caused any irritations or breakouts. It does wonders for making my fine lines and neck look great! I use either tretinoin or BHA treatment every single night, and my skin never gets dried out or crepey because I use this product religiously.

I am 74 and a Texan who spent a lifetime in the West Texas desert and I've got the skin to prove it! Or rather, I HAD the skin to prove it. This Christmas my gift was an Amazon shopping spree so I picked skin care products and went to town. Early on I discovered serums and potions which are AMAZING products, but then one day I stumbled onto a Hadalabo site and was frankly curious about their system. HA and.........snail drool? LOL. What next? Meh....why not give it a try, says I and I ordered the skin plumping gel since I had no other product advertising that it plumped skin. AMAZING. No, really. I'm a hard sell and with my damaged skin a product has to really perform for me to repurchase it. WOW. This gel performed spectacularly from day one. I could FEEL the skin plump up and it lasted all night. The next day it was still full and hydrated and my wrinkles were SO minimized. After a couple of months of use, I just don't have the same old wrinkles. No more deep creases, no spiderwebs, no sagging skin at the chin or neck....NADA. My face looks full, plump, and my skin is so soft. CAVEAT. I use Olay Regenarist night cream along with the Hado Labo, but I used it before I got the Hada Labo and my skin didn't look this good so I know it's the Hada Labo that caused the improvement. Try this gel. You won't be disappointed. BUT BE CAREFUL HOW YOU USE IT. DO NOT PUT IT ON DRY SKIN. DAMPEN YOUR HANDS WITH WATER AND PRESS IT AROUND YOUR FACE, NECK, CHEST THEN PUT ON THE Hadolabo gel. It may feel sticky but don't worry. In a few minutes it will absorb in and your skin will feel smooth and soft.

I've been using this moisturizer for a year and I've always loved it. The most recent one I bought is now giving me issues. it absorbs too quickly into my skin but also somehow leaves my skin feeling sticky or tacky. I've been having to reapply a second layer a few minutes after the first or go in with a different product because it's leaving my skin feeling super dry. My nose crease is especially dry and now getting super itchy and flaky. My makeup is also affected. This product used to hydrate and keep my skin moisturized so well under my makeup but now my makeup sitting on top of it is not adhering to my skin and balling up around my pores and just looking oily. It's not due to the weather because it's been fairly cool where I live so far and I've used this product for at least a year and didn't have problems last summer. I don't know if the formulation changed or something but this product definitely isn't worth the price tag anymore, especially since the price has been fluctatuating between $18 and $22 and is now finally staying at that $4 increase. I'm disappointed between this product used to be so affordable and accessible and didn't trigger a fungal acne rash on my forehead and now the quality has gone downhill.

This is the first skincare I've ever used that leaves lasting plumped skin and shine after I have washed my face, and even still, putting on my less thick lotion. This stuff has changed my skin - period. Even when I take a break for a day. And then I wash my face the next day, then go to so the daily skincare routine. And when I first touch my skin, it's STILL plump. They advertise 24 hour hydration. Party people, yeah let me assure you as you throw your hands in the air like you really DO care - they ain't lying. The gel is a dream to put on, feels great going on, and dries fast. I will but this again and again. It's made me look 3 years younger! It's freaking awesome! K bye! Came back to say one more thing. This stuff has definitely taken a few years off my face. I have nasolabial folds that for about 4 years, I have felt are beyond my age. This cream has changed my skin, on a level that I, my biggest critic (because we are our own worst critics), cannot even deny. It kind of blows my mind, which leads me to my next statement: to be fair, I have been raving about this stuff to my husband. But, today I went to him and asked his honest opinion. I said 'without being influenced by my opinion, what do YOU think?' And he agreed! And I said 'I just wanted to ask, bc I'm wondering if it's all in my head... or wishful thinking....' and he said 'no, I think your cream is def doing something.' So thats all yall.

Update number a million: I have been using this since 2018 and am on my 8 jar and I love it just the same! Truly my favorite moisturizer I always keep coming back to it when trying new things. I am about to get my 9th jar (you can’t stop me!) Update: so I’ve bought this product like 5-6 times now and it is still my favorite humectant. Absolutely the best out there my skin loooves it. It absorbs beautifully and leaves a nice glow behind it as wonderful barrier and layers nicely with my sun protectant or makeup. Seriously if you’re honking of buying it give it a try. First of all I had never heard of this product before, I do swear by any and most kind of “gel” creams cause they seem to be the only ones that work with my skin type to retain and obtain moisture levels. I first heard of this product while watching a Dr. Dray video on YouTube and I am so glad I jumped on it and bought it. From the very first application I noticed a difference. It helps retain moisture after showers or after spritzing water on face. I use this at least twice a day (morning and night). Morning: step 1. Cleanse with CeraVe foaming facial cleanser or use witch hazel with a pad to freshen up 2. Rose water spray or just water drops from when I shower 😂 don’t pat dry! 3. Hada Labo awesome plumping gel cream! 4. SUNSCREEN all day everyday Nighttime: 1. Cleanse wit CeraVe 2. Don’t pat skin dry! 3. Hada Labo awesome plumbing gel cream! *sometimes I pair it with CeraVe PM facial moisturizing lotion (ultra lightweight) 4. Retino-A 5. That’s it This gel cream has been a beautiful addition to my skin care routine. Had definitely become a staple on my regimen. I’m scared they’ll stop selling it so I might bulk buy a bit just to make sure I don’t run out 😂 Update: Just got my 4th jar and honestly I love it more every time. Biggest fear is running out of it. Absolutely lovely and beautiful formula. No fragrance is always a plus.

Hada labo lives up to its name & function V soothing gel moisturiser Esp good to use before applying sunscreen Superb product V calming

Sehr gute Gesichtscreme, die einzige, bei der Ich wirklich sichtbare Veränderungen in meinem Hautbild feststellen konnte. Leider ist es mitunter ziemlich schwierig, sie hier zu bekommen. Schon zweimal hatte Ich Probleme mit dem Zoll oder einfach nicht aufgetauchte Ware.

I waited a bit to write a review in order to see the results. I have to say that I love this product, the texture, how quickly it absorbs, the lack of greasy feeling that I hate and at the same time the good hydration power. It's really fantastic. I'll buy it again

This a gel like cream and goes on really nice. It is very moisturizing and a very light consistency. I have normal to dry skin and it absorbs really well. I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin . I would be interested to know what the ingredients are. I've been using this cream for a month now so I wanted to give a recent review. This cream is absolutely wonderful, very moisturizing and not greasy at all. I've spent a lot more on high end creams and they were definitely not as good as this one. I love this cream and would definitely buy it again.

Received recently, started using twice. So far five days. Perfect for the face massage and makes face bright when waking up in the morning. Seems really nice.
