Provides intense, long-lasting hydration, smooths the skin, and absorbs cleanly.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip

The ultimate hydrator for people who hate the sticky feel of high-percentage glycerin serums.

Hada Labo
Hydrating Lotion (Rich)
Toner

The absolute ultimate undisputed weight champion of pure hydration in Malaysia.

Rohto Mentholatum masterfully cross-links 7 distinct structural weights of Hyaluronic Acidβ€”including hydrolyzed nano-HA, standard HA, super HA, specialized penetrating HA, a long-wear polymer HA mesh, and a biomimetic fermented HA shield. This is reinforced by a heavy dose of Hydroxyethyl Urea to dissolve dry flake bounds. The texture is intensely thick, slippery, and amber-gold colored (naturally from Vitamin B12), completely erasing deep internal tight pulling sensations.
