What is Hada Labo?

Hada Labo is Japan’s most popular beauty brand.  Created in 2004 by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, the brand’s name translates to “Skin Laboratory” in English. In Japan the company is the leading supplier of beauty items to department stores and drugstores.

Hada Labo is most well known for their innovative and groundbreaking skin care formulas that have helped many people achieve the healthy, clear skin they’ve always wanted. Their patented Super Hyaluronic Acid is a blend of three molecular sizes of Hyaluronic Acid designed to transform the skin through intense hydration.

Can You Get the Original Japanese Products in the UK?

Yes! The list below shows the product in the Hada Labo Tokyo line along with its original Japanese equivalent. Both are available to order through UK Amazon by clicking the “View on Amazon” button.

Hada Labo could not sell their original formula in the UK due to EU regulations but some regular users have felt that the new versions are not as good as the original Japanese equivalents. Although it is still possible to order the original Japanese products in the UK be aware that the original packaging doesn’t have English instructions!

Hada Labo Serum

Below is the Hada Labo Tokyo Anti-Aging Super Hydrator Lotion and its Japanese equivalent the Gokujun Premium Hyaluronic Solution. I have tested out both products and found the original Japanese version to be thicker and a bit stickier than the new UK version.

I saw a bigger difference in my skin using the Gokujun Premium Hyaluronic Solution and found my skin was more toned and hydrated. If you have oily skin however you may prefer the Hada Labo UK version as it’s much lighter on your skin.

What’s the Difference Between the Red Line and the White Line?

Hada Labo have two versions of each product: one in a red package and one in a white. The different colours are for different skin types and each line contains slightly different ingredients.

The red line contains retinol and is more suited to older skin. It may also be better suited to very dry skin. The white line is for younger skin and may help oily, acne prone skin. There are many differences between the two lines including ingredients, texture, and price.
