   One of my favourite all-purpose skincare products over the last few years. My skin absolutely loves the mix of glycerin, ceramides, and sake ferment in this. It’s almost always one of the first layers I put on my face, and when my skin is particularly dry I keep a spray bottle of this handy so I can douse myself in it. I have used this literally from my head to toes. It’s a great treatment when my scalp gets dry and itchy thanks to running the heater during the winter, and when I was having to wash my hands a dozen times a day a thin layer of this literally saved my skin from cracking and bleeding. Though I use this mostly for it’s humectant/moisturizing properties it also helps to brighten and even my skin tone since it includes arbutin and licorice root extract, and I definitely won’t say no to that. Of course this comes in a gigantic bottle, so it’s a great value too, considering how much you get for $14.

   *Updated 1/6/20* I was looking for some extra hydration in addition to my routine and this was a perfect fit.
   I found this little gem while researching
   Hadalabo Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moisturizer. This is more of a liquidy essence rather than an actual moisturizer like the latter. I decided to go with this one instead of Hadalabo because it was more economical for 500ml and is more versatile.

   This is thin like water in consistency, and smells like weird artificial bubblegum sake . The scent dissipates quickly though so that’s no big deal. The bottle is really large with a clumsy pump so I like to decant into one of those small amber bottles w/pump that you use for making your own skincare products (amber bottle not necessary, it’s just what I had on hand). I apply it with my fingers, consistency is watery. I let it soak in and voila, plump, moisturized skin. For a deeper moisturizing treatment, I do a mask. Using just a one ply gauze pad from my medicine cabinet, I cut eye and nose holes, saturate on a plate, lay down/relax and leave on my face for 15 minutes.
   The biggest difference I have seen is just how well my makeup glides on. And my face just glows.

   In the past I’ve used Stratera Liquid Gold, Ceremidin, Nivea (German version), embroylisee, Hope in a Jar, La Mer…Many more I liked them, and found near HG status in Liquid Gold (but that fishy smell when it dries…yuck). This is a great supplement to all of these. I’ve gotten away with using several layers of this as an alternative to using a regular lotion and it worked pretty well.
   The K M lotion is lighter feeling, absorbs fast, is more versatile and a far better value than any of the aforementioned.
   Some background: I’m almost 37,use retin A 3x + per week, dry , somewhat dehydrated, oily in the t zone. I also use a Clarisonic for occasional deep cleaning. Lately My routine has been:
   AM: Erin Laszlo Black Bar, BR P50, Eve Lom Time Retreat Essence, Vitamin CE serum, High M, Hadalabo Premium, then either Biore Watery Essence 50+++ Sunscreen or LRP oil free dry touch.
   PM: removing my makeup with a baby wipe, Erno Laszlo Black Bar, Arcona Triad Pads then retin a. P50 and Lacura Q10 or Bioderma Hydrable serum on “off” retin a days.
   Also, was trying out a powder at Sephora the other day and the SA said I had really nice “supple” skin (nobody had ever made a comment like that to me before about my usually dry/dull skin, never happens!). This stuff is truly magic, nothing more to say 🙂
