Clarify and tone your skin as you moisturise it. HADA LABO Shiro-jyun Clear Lotion should be used after washing and serves as the foundation to your skin care routine. It helps prepare your skin for better absorption of other HADA LABO brightening products [So basically a toner].
Directions: After cleansing with HADA LABO Goku-jyun Face Wash, pour a pea-size amount into your palm and rub between hands to warm. Gently pat onto face until it is thoroughly absorbed. Follow with a hydrating lotion. Use twice daily after washing face.
How I use it: I actually applied this with the use of a cotton pad AM and PM. This probably led to using up more product than necessary, but I used this product like a toner so I liked to swipe to also remove excess dirt.
Full Ingredients: Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Arbutin, Disodium Succinate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Methylparaben, PPG-10 Methyl Glucose Ether, Sodium Hyaluronate, Styrene/VP Copolymer, Succinic Acid, Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide
I like that it’s quite a short and sharp list. Apparently the Arbutin used is B-Arbutin [so a less strong version of Alpha Arbutin] So it takes longer to brighten up the skin tone.
Fragrance?: None that I can smell
Good under makeup?: yes it’s fine
Texture: Water. Slides down the hand. same as the gokyujun lotion. But this is milky [probably due to the glycerin].
What I like:
- Hydrating
- Moisturising
- Didn’t suffocate the skin
- Didn’t ball up
- Did lighten up dark patches slightly
- Very light / watery
What I don’t like:
- No Drastic changes to the skin
Conclusion: I think this requires an additional purchase in order to continue with lightening PIH. The lightening products in here are too weak to really see a significant change in PIH. I would recommend this over the regular Hada Labo Gokyujun Lotion.
Overall Score: 3.8/5
Would I repurchase?: I actually think purchasing the ordinary’s Alpha Arbutin Serum may provide you with quicker/faster results. However this has been very hydrating [and hasn’t balled up] so perhaps I would repurchase for that fact alone.

What is the difference between Hada Labo shirojyun premium and regular?
Hada Labo Shirojyun Whitening Lotion vs Premium According to the official Hada Labo site, the “normal” Hada Labo Shirojyun Whitening Lotion is used more to concentrate treating the tone of the skin—making the skin appear brighter, and the premium on the other hand concentrates on treating the sun spots.
What is the difference between Hada Labo light and rich lotion?
This is on top of the two types of hyaluronic acid in the formulation. Do note that the Gokujyun lotion have 2 variants - a Light and a Rich one. The Light variant is more watery and less emollient compared to the Rich variant, so if you have oily skin, it's a better option. If you have dry skin, go for the Rich one.
Can you use Hada Labo lotion with retinol?
Retinol and hyaluronic acid are both powerful anti-agers so using them together can really amp up their effectiveness. Since retinol can be drying especially on dry or sensitive skin types, following up with hyaluronic acid is definitely a great idea, since hyaluronic acid is super hydrating.
