HOW HAS YOUR ROUTINE CHANGED DURING THE QUARANTINE? ARE YOU MASKING, DERMA ROLLING — OR NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO WASH YOUR FACE? SHARE BELOW… _______________________________________________________ EMPTIES FLASHBACK: *What I said about it*: First, I’m not even sure what this product is called. And it’s not entirely because I don’t speak much Japanese beyond a few cuisine related terms, basic greetings — and introducing myself by name: カーマイン. I picked up a few things when I taught ESL to Japanese students back in LA. My students called me Carmine-sensei (teacher) and dasai (geek). So disrespectful! And, Tokyo is up there among my fave cities, along with London and NYC. On Amazon, this unusual J-Beauty Hyaluronic Acid-powered toner is listed as Hada Labo Rohto Hadalabo Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist. The Hada Labo Hyaluronic Acid Lotion has been around a while, but I wasn’t paying much attention to it until I was researching forms of Hyaluronic Acid for an upcoming blog. It’s actually quite an intriguing formula with a surprising velvety texture. It has a very tight ingredient list with just 11 ingredients, 3 of which are forms of HA including Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate and Sodium Hyaluronate. A high level of Glycerin also helps power its efficacy. It contains no proven skin irritants like fragrance, fragrant plant oils and alcohol. *What I think now*: I still love the simplicity and true efficacy of the formula. It just has this otherworldly (dare I say it, alien technology!) feel to it that makes it difficult to put your finger on. Again, there’s no doubt in my mind why this is such a J-Beauty must-have *Do I miss it?*: Yes, that surprising velvety texture is everything.
