One of the best things about being a writer for We Heart This is the adventure it brings.
I am excited to introduce you to Hada Labo Tokyo by Rohto Pharmaceutical Company.
Hada Labo translated means “Skin Lab”. The line was designed to replace a key element of what your skin naturally loses over time – Hyaluronic Acid.
Rhoto prides themselves on their advanced skincare that is the result of more than 100 years of product development.
How many other companies have that kind of history?
I know sometimes numbers tell the story: this is the #1 skincare line in Japan.
They are selling one bottle every two seconds!
What makes it so great?
Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) is the answer.
It provides intense hydration that makes the skin look softer, smoother and more youthful while brightening with botanical extracts.
Hada Labo Tokyo Review
Here is a little science lesson about Hyaluronic Acid (HA).
In our youth, skin is rich with HA and our bodies readily produce it. With age and exposure to the sun, our skin cells produce less and less HA. Resulting in drier, less elastic skin.
The PH level of your skin is affected as you age.
Dehydrated skin often has a higher skin pH level. Hada Labo products are formulated between a pH level of 5.0 and 6.5, helping balance your skin’s pH level to maintain healthy, moisturized skin.
Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) anchors to different layers of the epidermis and replenishes the skin’s hydrating ability with two times the moisture-retention capacity of Hyaluronic Acid.

Hada Labo Age Correcting Cream (available here) –
A lightweight eye cream that assists with signs of fatigue and aging. This was by far my favorite product of this line. It really did make me look less tired and more alert.
Pink Silt Tree Bark Extract, Camapu Extract, Caffeine and light-diffusing pigments really helped brighten my eyes and blur the signs of aging.
