Ring in a new skincare era this 2024 with tried-and-tested skincare ingredients

 


As we roll into 2024, your skin’s still feeling the aftermath of a wild yearend: the holiday rush, back-to-back parties, and hectic school/work deadlines. With your skin still recovering, now’s the perfect opportunity to rejuvenate and give your skin the glow up it deserves.

 

Beauty experts predict this year will see tried-and-tested rockstar ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide take center stage thanks to benefits such as antioxidant activity, skin tone evening, and skin barrier improvement. It’s no wonder Korean superstar Jisoo of BLACKPINK, celebrity makeup artist Lei Ponce, and supermodels like Kaia Gerber swear by them!

 

So how can you boost your glow up with these proven ingredients? Enter leading Japanese skincare brand Hada Labo, which makes it a breeze to reveal your inner glowing mochi-mochi skin. Whether it’s smoothing out your skin tone or fading away dark spots, every product in its Premium Whitening line packs the undeniable benefits of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.

 

Check out Hada Labo Premium Whitening Face Lotion which harnesses the power of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water and draws moisture from the environment to keep your skin moisturized. This reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and contributes to a smoother complexion.

 


Complement all these hydration power with the Hada Labo Premium Whitening moisturizers that help brighten skin using niacinamide, which works by building up the skin’s natural protective barrier to defend against harmful pollutants, toxins, and sunlight. These moisturizers also feature other skin-friendly ingredients like alpha-arbutin to address and prevent dark spots, and vitamin C to stimulate collagen production, combat free radicals, and boost overall skin radiance.

 


It comes in two options for your skin needs. Premium Whitening Water Cream combines all the classic ingredients and brightening effect of the Face Lotion with a light, burden-less texture that effortlessly absorbs into the skin, leaving it feeling revitalized without any heavy residue. Premium Whitening Water Gel is great for those with oily/combination skin, thanks to its mix of natural royal jelly extract, hamamelis extract, and herbal fermented factors that revitalize while controlling oil.

 


Ready for your new and improved skincare era? Start revealing that inner glowing mochi-mochi skin today with Hada Labo Premium Whitening line, visit your nearby Watsons or hit up The Mentholatum Company’s official stores on Shopee or Lazada.
