Who doesn't know these brands?
I also don't know at first. Poor me!
Do you want to know why?
Because I never watch TV at home... -__- I'm not joking. So, I knew these beautiful brands from FB group.They're Japanese brands from Rohto. The first thing comes to my mind is the eye drops. It is their best selling product, I think. But now, they have launched many brands too. So, as it is already been produced in Indonesia, the price now is CHEAPER! I mean SUPER CHEAP compared to the 'original' if you bought it from Japan. And it is really easy to get, as you can find it in a big department store like Hypermart.

Can you see the price? It's cheap, isn't it. Most of them you can get under IDR 100k / $ 100.
I bought some of them for me and my mom. I need sunblock, so I chose Skin Aqua UV Mild Milk SPF 30 and Hada Labo Ultimate Whitening Lotion. For my mom, I bought her Hada Labo Ultimate Anti Aging Lotion. It is Hada Labo best selling items that sold 1 every 2 seconds. It makes me wonder....
And the Beauty Mask lifting moisture is free from Skin Aqua ^o^ yippie...
Skin Aqua, Mask, Hada Labo Whitening & Ultimate AntiAging Lotion |
1. Skin Aqua UV Mild Milk SPF 30
Who needs sunblock? Yeah, We all are. But I didn't like sunblock before because usually it sticks and heavy. Yuck.. Really, don't want to use it everyday with this extreme hot weather. I live in Bali by the way and Mr. Sunny always meet me every day AM to PM. -__-
But this one is different. I love!
Super soft and absorbed quickly! |
Pros
- Watery texture and not greasy. Absorbed fast. Just like milk.
- Price is really affordable too..
- Cute and compact bottle, easy to bring
- Got free mask :p
- SPF 30
Cons
-
2. Hada Labo Ultimate Whitening Lotion
In Japanese, Lotion means toner. So, don't think about light cream that you use for moisturizer. This one is a light, watery, quick absorbed liquid. I like this, you don't remember wearing anything, just like putting water on your face.. And for dry skin like me. It's a must, your best friend.
It comes in a plastic bottle, really simple packaging, just plastic bottle like its slogan Perfect x Simple. But it is tight, even though you upside down the bottle, the liquid is still safe.

4. Beauty Mask lifting moisture
This one is a freebies from the Skin Aqua sunblock. This is my first time have 2 pieces sheet mask. As you can see in the picture it has 2 parts. The upper side is for half nose up and the other is for the nose bottom side. It reaches your face better than 1 sheet mask.
Pros
- Comes with 2 parts, covers your face well
- Moist result
Cons
- The perfume is too strong for a mask
CONCLUSION
They are great products with cheap price, easy to find now in stores. I will repurchase them as I like the products. For more information please see their website Rohto and Hadalabo
