I found my skincare

By Temo Mpodi

That’s it! Hada Labo is officially on my beauty radar, and I’m not even questioning it. I’ve finally found my ‘go-to’ skincare edit. Saying I struggled to find my niche is an understatement. You already know how they go on about sensitive skin being high-maintenance—and they’re not wrong. I’ve lived it. But when Hada Labo boldly put ‘fragrance-free’ front and centre, that was my first green flag. I knew my skin could trust it, and I was in for a skincare joyride.

I tested three products from their new premium range (though at this point, it doesn’t even feel like a test anymore), and honestly, it’s no surprise that my skin took to them like a dream. Hada Labo is Japan’s number-one selling skincare brand, and it’s all about hydration, elasticity, and that plump, dewy glow. My skin loathes unnecessary additives – too much fragrance, too many antioxidants. Sure, those ingredients can be great, but in excess? Not so much. Thankfully, Hada Labo keeps it simple with seven hyaluronic acids. Let’s get into the products.

Extreme Skin Regenerator 7x HA Super Cream

When they called it extreme, they knew exactly what they were doing. It’s that girl. I’d call it a luxurious essential for that smooth, glass-skin effect. It softened my dry skin, blurred my fine lines, and left me looking fresh and glow-y. Yes, please!

Hada Labo Premium Super Hydrator

There’s something about the intense moisture it delivers – without triggering breakouts. Shocking, considering how sensitive my skin is! That ‘suitable for all skin types’ claim? It actually checks out. It sinks in fast, no greasy residue. Just hydration. Just goodness. I’ve found my beauty bestie!

Ultra-Firming Booster 7x Day Cream in Milk

I’m here to stay with this firming booster. In just three days (yes, three!), I could feel the difference. My skin? Rejuvenated. The texture? Rich, silky, and deeply hydrating. It firms, it nourishes, it does what it promises. Just make sure you’re getting enough sleep to let it work its magic.

Hada Labo’s formula is all about advanced technology, and honestly? My skin is thriving.
