1. HADA LABA GOKU JYUN HYDRATING CLEAR LOTION
Consisting of three types of hyaluronic acid- Hydrolized Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, and Sodium Hyaluronate, this facial toner will definitely boost your skin's moisture level.
After cleansing your face, you can use this as your toner to, gently swiping and patting over face and neck so the next skincare products will be absorbed more readily. Typically, after I double cleanse my face, I will use this product as my toner and then I will apply a serum, then lotion and eye cream and facial oil. The last step is the oil, which will lock in everything.
Skincare Tip : Oil and water do not mix so if you put the oil first, it will repel the hydrating water based skincare product and it will not be effective. So oil comes after moisturizer and SPF comes last!

DHC is the No. 1 beauty & healthcare brand in Japan. DHC is among the most reliable beauty and health brands for Japan. and DHC products are all made in Japan.
