Hada Labo Hydrating Water Gel | Review
Assalamualaikum and heyy, what's up guyss?
So yeahh as usual, I'm back for another skincare product's review~
And also as usual, at the end of every months, I have only managed to published at least maximum 2 entries for each month which means that I'm very, very, very busy [big sigh]
But anyway, today I managed to steal some time to write another skincare product's review that has been stored in my draft for quite a long time actually hahaha. The product that I'm going to review today is a product that came along with it's siblings when I bought them around 5 months ago [details here] which happened to be worked miraculously for my skin and now I'm already on my 3rd jar!
Without further ado, let's get started~

What Does It Claim?
✿ Ultralight, watery-feel gel texture that gives skin an instant surge of suppleness and non-greasy comfort, leaving a 'breathable' skin feel.
✿ Combines 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid powered by High Performance Penetrating & Deep Moisturising (HPP&M) technology to lock, replenish and store moisture deep in skin layer by layer.
✿ Prevent moisture loss while boosting skin's hydration level through Aqua Oil Volume Matrix advanced technology that uses 3D clusters to hold-oil-in water droplets containing oil-soluble nutrients to allow deeper penetration into skin.
✿ Enriched with Ceramide that forms a moisture-protecting shield and essential nutrients ; Aloe Vera and other moisturizing natural botanical extracts to deeply nourish skin.
✿ Skin pH balanced. Low irritation.
✿ Free of fragrance, colorant and mineral oil.
As from it's name, we can know in a second that it's a gel type moisturizer which is very lightweight and absorbed really fast into your skin. It has a little cooling effect when you're applying this product on your face which i really like it!
This moisturizer comes in a 50ml light green opaque plastic jar with a lid without a spatula but since it's a jar, of course we can see how much the product left hahaha and yes again, you don't have to worry if you ever drop it from the high place. I'm not sure about other moisturizer that packed in a jar and have a spatula with them but this one guy, it does not come along with a spatula unlike Heimish All Clean Balm so you need to scoop it out with your own beautiful fingers or you can use the small spoon that you can buy at the supermarket, I guess?
Repurchase: ABSOLUTELY YESS!
Recommended: YES! For those with oily/combination skin, gel type moisturizer will works great on you since it is lightweight and for those who is still searching for a gel type moisturizer to try, I will recommend you to try this unless if you allergic to any ingredients in this product. Always remember, what works on me might not work on you and vice versa (YMMV).

Product's Texture
As from it's name, we can know in a second that it's a gel type moisturizer which is very lightweight and absorbed really fast into your skin. It has a little cooling effect when you're applying this product on your face which i really like it!
Before I bought this moisturizer, I used the cream type moisturizer which tend to be heavy for oily skin and that's the reason why those my skincare products back days won't even work out for me. From the very start of using this product and to the moment when I applied this to my face, I never knew that this gel type moisturizer is actually the perfect moisturizer that I have been looking for!
Product's Packaging
This moisturizer comes in a 50ml light green opaque plastic jar with a lid without a spatula but since it's a jar, of course we can see how much the product left hahaha and yes again, you don't have to worry if you ever drop it from the high place. I'm not sure about other moisturizer that packed in a jar and have a spatula with them but this one guy, it does not come along with a spatula unlike Heimish All Clean Balm so you need to scoop it out with your own beautiful fingers or you can use the small spoon that you can buy at the supermarket, I guess?
How To Use?
✿ Use twice a day during AM and PM routine in the second last step of your skincare routine before sunscreen (AM routine) / last step of your routine (PM routine).
✿ Take sufficient amount and apply evenly on face and neck.
✿ Gently massage and pat to allow absorption into the skin.
Does it Work for Me?
As I said before, I have never try gel type moisturizer and I can happily said that these two magical combo of Hydrating Lotion (Light) and Hydrating Water Gel works miraculously to my skin and I'm glad that I have spend lots of my time by reading lots of threads from Kak Mai, Sis Bunny and Kak Iman about skincare ingredients and what ingredients that could help your skin that I finally managed to buy the right products for my combination to oily skin. After been using this moisturizer along with the Hydrating Lotion (Light) around 2-3 months, alhamdulillah my skin has shown some positive changes where as my skin has became less oily especially on the T-zone area but I still have issues with my nose which is it's still oily compared to the other parts of the face and I don't know what to do anymore. Asides from that, my face has been getting less 'visits' from those cheeky whiteheads after 4-5 months using these two products (and maybe I use it with other products too). And now, my skin is no longer combination to oily but it has became normal to oily like I mentioned on the previous review. And once again, Kak Mai is true - HYDRATION IS THE KEY!
Pros :
✿ Fast absorption
✿ Really hydrate my skin
✿ Made my skin smooth and supple
✿ Has a little cooling effect upon applying
✿ Has some kind of citrusy smell which I like the most

Cons :

avoid trying this product
