Does Rohto Hadalabo's Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid make a toner or only Lotion/Moisturizer?

This is like a moisturizing toner. It's meant to be used after washing and before moisturizer. They don't make the traditional astringent toner that you wipe on with cotton balls or pads.

This particular product is not quite a lotion, more of something that allows your moisturizer to absorb more efficiently. I'm not quite sure but they might, this slightly acts like one.

This lotion is considered to be a "toner" in Asia due to the fact that they focus on moisturizing more than cleansing. Hada Labo also makes moisturizers like a milk or cream. Check their website if you want more information on the products.

I use it as a hydrating toner (after my exfoliating toner), followed by serum and a moisturizer. It's way too thin to be used as a stand alone moisturizer, but it's thicker than a regular toner. I think in Japan, they call a toner a 'lotion.'

It is definitely a moisturizer, does not work for cleansing pores and opposite of tightening them as that's the purpose of a toner.

It depends on what culture your looking from when you say lotion/moisturizer. In America, this product would be seen as a "toner" of sorts in respect to when you use it in your regimen, however, if I am correct, The Japanese call "toners" lotion. It is very light and effective. I use it AFTER I apply my toner, but BEFORE I apply a moisturizer or serum so that the Hyaluronic acid helps draw in the moisture. I hope this helps! If you have any additional questions, ask away! I'm only a buyer but I have done some research. (Also, as a side note, I've had it FOREVER now and I've hardly put a dent in it yet! It should last you well over a year....great amount of product for your money!) *^_^* It depends on what culture your looking from when you say lotion/moisturizer.

As this product is Japanese, they call lotion what we call toner. Just dab about 3 to 4 drops of this toner onto a clean face/neck; it will prepare your skin to absorb the skin care products you will use after that (no need for cotton balls etc, just your fingers). Hope this helps.

In Japanese skin care this would be considered a toner. It enhances your skins ability to soak up all of your moisturizer and keeps it locked in all day. I recommend this for winter since its the dryest season of the year.

The Hyaluronic Acid is from Sodium Hyaluronate. The label says it is a vegetarian formula. Hope that helps.

I didn't use any moisturizing cream or lotions. I used only vitamin C serum with vitamin E and a few other ingredients added and I awoke with a brighter complexion and reduced pore size. If you have trouble with dry skin, hyaluronic acid is a great moisturizer. There are many serums on here that others have used after derma rolling and I think they all work well on their own- without adding facial creams. I have rarely used my Cetaphil lotion since using the serums and I have only worn makeup on a few occasions since using the roller and serums. I almost don't see a need for makeup anymore. My under eye circles are almost gone and I've had them my whole life I believe it's the vitamin C serum I use every morning and night after washing my face with Cetaphil bar soap- as recommended by my dermatologist.

Todd Caldecott an Ayurvedic herbalist at Dogwood Medicine can better answer this question. Long term cleanser and tissue toner.

If one lives in a dry climate, one definitely needs a moisturizer. Hyaluronic acid pulls moisturizer from the closest source. If it is not in the air, it gets pulled from your face unless moisturizer is on it. There is only one moisturizer in the world - water, and that is in products labeled moisturizer.....along with agents that hold it well.

I use this brand as a facial toner and I always use it around my eyes as a compress . If this brand isn't available shea terra organics works well too

I've bought this product and found it drying. It came with no directions, unlike others, which warn that skin must be water-moistened first, before applying, and that there is no such thing as 100% h.a. in such products. Hyaluronic Acid Serum - Organic & Vegan - 100% Pure of a 1% solution 2oz Who knows who's telling the truth.

I use both this and this The Original Hyaluronic Acid Serum 100% Pure , otherwise I think it is somewhat drying on my skin, I have combo skin. This hyaluronic acid is great and inexpensive.

On the blue stripe that forms the top of the label mine says: "Combines Hyaluronic Acid with Vitamins A and C to reduce fine lines and wrinkles." On the front of the label it says "Hydrating Night Crème with Hyaluronic Acid." Like one of the other respondents I've thrown out the box, but this is right on the jar. I use it on my hands at night, too.

I don't think it will function quite the same as a toner but you can certainly put moisturizer on top of the serum. I apply the serum after my toner or after washing my face and then apply moisturizer w sunblock on top. It's important to use sunscreen when using products that turn cells over as your skin becomes more photosensitive. This is a great product.

This is not "all natural" but that term is very commonly overused and misused. It does contain natural ingredients though. Korean skin care is known for using natural ingredients as the foundation of the products. It is a toner, so it has to be effective at cleaning pores so it uses a peppermint extract that helps freshen and tighten pores. It balances the pH level of your skin, which helps reduce acne. It does not have mineral oil, fragrance, coloring, talc, animal ingredients, or silicone oil. Although it has alcohol in it, it does not dry out my skin or leave it feeling tight. My skin actually feels fresh and smooth when I use this. Make sure you follow this with a good moisturizer, as part of your skin care regimen.

I bought the Timeless Hyaluronic Acid Pure and it was odorless and tasteless. I put it in a dropper bottle and use it in make up base, face creams and almost everything. I love it and it adds what would be an expensive property to almost everything.

I use a cotton ball to apply the Witch Hazel directly on my face. I use it like I would a toner. Great product!

It's a toner. A relatively thick toner, but you still need moisturizer (lotion or cream) after that. Japanese skin care companies call toner "lotion".

Obaji Action is a moisturizer used to relieve the dry flaky areas often caused at the beginning use of the Nu-Derm products. It is not meant to be used daily since this will slow down the exfoliating process which is what your trying to achieve. You can apply it to target areas or all over your face.
