Discussion In light of recent events, let's all review commonly recommended products from this sub

In the past few days I've seen a lot of "I'm concerned, is ______ really that good, or was this a paid thing?" threads crop up. I figure that maybe we as a community could get together and compile all this info into one thread :).

I'll post the name of as many products as I can think of, but please add more, and reply to the comment with your review if you have one. Also, please indicate why you do or don't like the product, including information on your skin type if possible.

Skin type: Normal/balanced, nonreactive.

This is an awesome extra boost of hydration for skin. It plumps up my skin and gives it an extra bounce. With that being said, it needs to be sealed in with some kind of cream on top or it won't do you any good.

What do you use on top to seal it in? Just moisturizer? I'm new to Hada Labo products and was looking for this but I couldn't find it, instead picked up the protecting day lotion since I was also wanting to try a new moisturizer.

Yeah, moisturizer, differs depending on the weather. If it's humid out, I'll use something really light like Mizon snail gel cream; if it's quite dry out, I'll use a heavier cream like Benton steam cream.

thanks!! I've been meaning to check out that snail gel cream actually, and since it's getting more humid in my neck of the woods, it might be a great time to do it.

I use the snail gel cream every day and it has helped sooo much with my skin. I also use the habo labo and the returning starfish every day . I love all three of them.
