A parcel from The Sample Store

Apparently, TheSampleStore was having a campaign in Orchard today and some other venues (for the next 3 saturdays). And friendly Li Juan was kind to offer a meet up in Orchard to pass me my parcel somewhere near Hyatt Hotel today.

Here's the parcel that I have collected!
Curious to know what's inside?

Meanwhile, there were several campaign ambassadors who were busy handing the passersby a letter specially for Beauty Junkies. In order not to "spoil" the excitement that TheSampleStore has created for you, do find out for yourselves what's inside this envelope.

Look out for The Sample Store ambassadors.

REVIEW : Hada Labo - Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion

[Sample and Review]

Product : A retail-sized HADA LABO - Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion

"Perfect X Simple" bottle design!

It is able to keep the lotion flowing at a regular pace

All I needed is 2 drops to beautiful skin

My Intended Usage of HADA LABO - Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion :

- twice daily (morning and night)

- over fourteen days

A quick check with my pH indicator, gave a pH6, which fulfilled its claim of pH balanced. As mentioned in "Testing the pH of my skincare", it has been found that the growth of this bacteria is very much dependent on the pH value of the skin and its growth is at its minimum at the normal skin pH of 5.5. A slight shift towards the alkaline pH would provide a better environment in which it can thrive. So this has to be an ideal facial toner for most skin too.

This SHA Hydrating Lotion came in timely as I was advised against over-moisturizing* my skin which can lead to clogged pores (exactly what I am experiencing now). Somehow its tagline of "One drop locks up an ocean" is so convincing that my skin always experience that immediate hydration upon applying.

*No moisturizer in the day - advised by my dermatologist

Conclusion :

In my opinion, this HADA LABO - Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion is excellent for daily usage for all skin type. I am glad that the lotion is able hydrate and balance out the pH of my skin after cleansing, which is very important for sensitive skin (like mine). All I need is 4 drops (2 drops for face area and 2 drops for neck area) per usage, twice daily, and my skin is fully take care off.

For you info:
(a) I did not experience additional "bump" aside for the existing ones which my tropical medication is trying to rectify the issue. So if you do experience "bumps" from using the Hada Labo - Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion, my advise is : Do consider skipping the moisturizer as you might have over-moisturized your skin.


(2) I would recommend that you warm the lotion (pour the lotion on your palm and rub gently) before patting on your face. It will help in the absorption of lotion more efficiently. Your skin will feel sticky and sticks to your palm. Its normal, and the stickiness will go off in less than 5mins (skin type dependent) when the lotion is fully absorbed.

REVIEW : Hada Labo - Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Wash

[Sample and Review]

Product : A retail-sized HADA LABO - Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Wash

"Perfect X Simple" philoscophy
Free of colorant, fragrance, mineral oil and additives that is formulated with Asian skin in mind.

It does not lathers or foam well.

My Intended Usage of HADA LABO - Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Wash :

- twice daily (morning and night - after makeup removal*)

- over fourteen days

*I am currently unable to use cleansing oil to remove makeup - advised by my dermatologist

A quick check with my pH indicator, gave a pH5, which fulfilled its claim of pH balanced. As mentioned in "Testing the pH of my skincare", the pH of normal, healthy human skin is somewhere between 4.5 and 6, so this makes it an ideal facial wash for most skin, In fact this was the supposed-perfect facial wash I was looking for to combat my "bumps" woes.

This SHA Hydrating Face Wash is great for my daily facial cleansing, especially for morning usage, which makes my skin feel refreshed and moisturised**. But to use this after makup remover, it somehow makes me feel that my skin isn't properly cleaned as I don't experienced the usual clean and taut feeling that I get from my Ettusais Medicated Soap. Perhaps it is the existence of SHA that makes my skin feel hydrated and smooth.
**I was advised to skip moisturizer in the day - advised by my dermatologist

Conclusion :
In my opinion, this HADA LABO - Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Wash is excellent for daily usage for all skin type. It is mild and gentle for sensitive skin (like mine), yet effective to clean your face properly (In fact, taut-feeling is detrimental to our skin, because the natural protective acid-mantle of our skin has been disturbed by the use of such harsh cleansers, which can leave our skin more prone to infections and inflammation). All I need is an efficient water-based makeup remover to ease my worries of any makeup residues.

FR3B : An Invitation to Sample + Review Hada Labo products

I received a surprised email from Fr3b last friday inviting their bloggers to sample and review Hada Labo's best selling products.

The products involved in this sampling campaign are;

(a) HADA LABO - super hyaluronic acid hydrating lotion

(b) HADA LABO - super hyaluronic acid hydrating face wash

The requirements for this sponsorship?

(1) Test 

(2) Review

(3) Survey

Fortunately the products involved are from the hydrating series. I have always noticed that I tend to get occassional acne outbreaks whenever I used whitening skincare (any brands). In fact, I had been craving for the highly-raved (reviews from forums) Hada Labo products since its launch. Readers who have been following closely to my blog would have noticed that I have been curbing my spending on skincare recently.

My skin has progressed from a normal  to combination type over the past couple of years, and I am having difficulties managing this switch in skin type. Recently, I also experienced outbreaks mainly at cheeks area, nowhere else! *touchwood*

I sincerely hope this highly raved Hada Labo can do some overnight miracles in giving a more managable radiant skin :)
