Finally, it's here, as promised: the conclusion of my Face Sunscreen Guide 2023, this time focusing on Korean sunscreens; my beloved! Once again this year, I've tried... It's basic, but in the best way possible - no scent, no stinging or irritation, and only water, hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Good old water, aka H2O. The most common skincare ingredient of all. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.

hyaluronic acid obtained by fermentation with Lactobacillales (a lactic acid bacterium used to ferment sake!): a fermented hyaluronic acid that allows the skin to keep moisture better, If you’re a fan of hyaluronic acid, you’ve come to the right place. Today, let’s talk about the star ingredient of hydration and a cult Asian cosmetic product: the famous hyaluronic acid-based lotion Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium, the reformulated 2020 version! Below I share the details of my test of this lotion that makes the skin hydrated and plumped like no other! However, I have a questions regarding my regime. sooooo right now, I have been using retin-a .05% cream for about 3 months. I went through a NASTY purging phase basically I have NO active pimples. only some really really stubborn closed comedones (like 5) and I mainly want to treat my post acne PIE and PIH spots. I HAVE SOOOO MANY. it looks like i have a beard of splotchy red/darkness… its so awful and I want to get rid of them so bad. it’s looks as bad as my pimples because the redness/hyperpigmentation is so prominent D: So I’ve been trying to find VARIOUS ways to help speed up the process of getting rid of these spots. T.T below 50k, around 10k Da version: there is a Japanese version trade namedHyalo-Oligo that has only a 10k molecular weight and is claimed to penetrate the skin very well, have a unique touch and give deep and long-lasting moisturization. Based on the Evonik-research and the natural role of LMW-HA in the body working as a pro-inflammatory signal molecule, this ultra-lowmolecular weight version is a controversial ingredient. This lotion is like a treatment product, and its main purpose is to deeply moisturize the skin, thanks to its high concentration of hyaluronic acid.It’s pretty much the current IT- preservative. It’s safe and gentle, but even more importantly, it’s not a feared-by-everyone-mostly-without-scientific-reason paraben. The big change in this reformulated version is that it no longer contains five but seven different forms of hyaluronic acid!

The lotions are lighter in texture than the milks, which could be used as a moisturizer, especially if you have a combination skin. As its name suggests, in addition to hyaluronic acid, it contains Alpha Lipoic Acid, a powerful antioxidant with repairing effects on the skin, but also a retinol derivative and collagen for an anti-aging action. This lotion targets more mature skins. A real oldie but a goodie. Great natural moisturizer and skin-identical ingredient that plays an important role in skin hydration and general skin health. And, despite all my attempts, I never found anything that beat the price/quality ratio of the Hada Labo lotion. Its cult favorite product status is very well deserved!Hyaluronic acid is a humectant ingredient. It has the property of attracting and retaining a large quantity of water (up to 1000 times its weight in water). This ability, among other things, gives volume and elasticity to the skin. Over time, the skin’s hyaluronic acid level decreases and it causes the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and loss of firmness.
