Kohaku Hada Lotion

琥珀肌 化粧水 しっとり
skincare toner

A budget friendly Japanese hydrating lotion (化粧水) built around amber extract, an unusual ingredient with antioxidant and barrier strengthening properties. Sits somewhere between Hada Labo Gokujyun Light and the regular Moist version in terms of richness, making it a great option for people who find Hada Labo too heavy but still want serious hydration. Also contains hyaluronic acid, nano ceramides, collagen, and placenta extract for an impressive ingredient list at its price point. Fragrance free, colorant free, mineral oil free, alcohol free, paraben free. Made by Yamano, a smaller Japanese brand, so it flies under the radar compared to Hada Labo, but it has a loyal following on r/AsianBeauty and was a RatzillaCosme Best Pick.
