Hada Labo DANRYOKU HADA co-enzyme Q10 facelift cream

Hello fellow readers! This is another Hada Labo product to be reviewed, and I can now say it has been more than a months trial. If your looking for something light and non-greasy for a night cream, not particularly to fight wrinkles but merely to prevent future ones, I think this is a wonderful jar of goodness.

This hada labo creation was something I could not find many reviews on. I simply added this to my cart with my fingers crossed hoping I will not regret it :)


Packaging:
This small silver bundle of joy is housed in a small jar. A little goes a long way in my opinion. You don't need to drown your face in cream you know! Unfortunately if you are picky about hygiene, that is dipping your fingers in.. maybe invest in a small spatula to scoop out the product. Besides, who would dip dirty fingers in and rub that on your face? Clean fingers please!

Ingredients:
I could not find the exact ingredients unfortunately :( tried searching everywhere and I couldn't understand the Japanese on the packaging either. Main ingredient it's promoting is co-enzyme Q10. Sounds fancy I know but this is what absorbs deep into our skin to slow down the aging process and helps keep skin elastic and firm. It also contains vitamin A and soybean lipids to help retain moisture. This cream is also alcohol free and smell's like oranges mmm!

How to apply:
Apply as desired after cleanser and toner. Texture is light, translucent, non-greasy and absorbs quickly. The color is a pale yellow. Apply on face AND neck.

My verdict:
I like this cream. If i had to rate it it would score a 8/10. My skin get's oily at night and this has been very nice in warmer weather. The best thing about it is, yes I do not regret buying it and I just love the smooth texture. It's so silky when you apply it on a clean dry face. The smell is very energizing also! Different to the floral scented stuff. My cousin used this on her dry skin, she tends to get red and flaky in some areas and this worked really well for her that she ended up purchasing it. Maybe I can get her to do a mini review for skin types out there similar to hers :)

My only con is, not suitable for day time. This cream has also been trialled under my BB cream but I prefer to use something much lighter because I got really oily during the day. I was hoping this cream could replace both day and night, but I think I'll just stick to night.

The result is what you expect when you add much needed moisture when you sleep. Skin feels hydrated, plump and smooth. Especially the area around your eyes and nose. It has not failed me every time I use it, esp after you use something so much you tend to lose the results you see the first week. This hasn't so I really like it!!
