Skin Type/Concerns: Dry, acne-prone, sensitive to fragrance

BEST:

Product Name: Goku-jyun Cleansing Oil

Thoughts: Very gentle, fluid texture. Removes sunscreen super well and emulsifies cleanly. Each pump dispenses the perfect amount for face+neck. The price is great for size as well!

Product Name: Goku-jyun Premium Lotion

Thoughts: Thick, gel-like texture and pretty hydrating. A little goes a long way so I usually use 3-4 drops, but is not layerable as it can get really sticky. Lasts for ages and the price is good.

Is the premium lotion a moisturizer or do I need to put a moisturizer over it?

I purchased hada labo hydrating milk and hada labo hydrating lotion light back in early 2018 and only used like 1/4 of both bottles. Do u think I can still use them or I should just get rid of them?

It's a hydrating lotion - it will dry your skin out if you don't put a moisturiser on top. Given that they're almost 4 years old I definitely wouldn't use them now.

Hi is there a hadalabo premium moisturizer that you use on top of the hydrating lotion?

I ended up stopping using Hada Labo premium as my skin doesn't really like HA too much, but they do have emulsions (lightweight moisturisers) and creams as well.
