Reviews: Japan Medicated Lotions

Hi there, this would be my first post for my new blog,
i have stopped for long time never blogging, kinda nervous about what to write, haha.
So, i had decided to write about some medicated lotion from Japan. As ur knowledge im such a Japan's stuff sucker, i tend to like more about Japanese brand. For some reasons, like normally their products are more natural and non-harmful to our skin, and it is quite effective for asian!
Here is a short explanation about medicated lotion, lotion is such a skin tonic that replenish ur skin after you wash your face and after toner. Medicated lotion is designed for the main purpose such as: whitening, moisturising, sebum controlling, killing bacteria and so on. For directions, you may use a cotton puff and pour a 50cents size onto the puff and tap pad it on ur skin until it is fully absorbed. Or using your clean bare hands, pour some onto ur palm and massage it onto your skin. After that, you may apply your moisturiser, sun screen/ BB cream and so on.
here i have these 3 to compare.
No.1 (left) JuJu Aquamoist Whitening Toner, RM59 .
I get mine from Jaya Jusco in Kepong, If i am not mistaken it is also available in Sasa too! According to ViVi magazine, this lotion is top sales in Taiwan during summer, it contains hyaluronic acid to keep the skin moistured, and vitamin c to whitened the darker area. The moisture power of this lotion is consider as average for my combination skin,  unlike the SkinLab Goku Jyun(center) it helps to keep my skin stay supple for the whole entire day! But if you are concern for both whitening and moisturising ability, u may have a try on this toner.

This is a present from my friend, and this is the 2nd bottles i owned! I'm totally in love with this lotion! Don't you ever never doubt about the moisture power it has! It's amazing! Due to my combination skin type, i can't use any moisturiser which is in cream base. And I always suffer from overdry skin condition and flaking dead skin, this toner really helps. The texture of this toner is crystal clear and a its a bit thicker than the others, the thickiness is non-greasy feel, it just like some water base gel. I like to use it before make up, it helps to supple my skin, keep it hydrated. For your information, Jyun also have 2 different types, which are moisture滋润型 type and lighter清爽型 type.

First i get to know about this new product from skin lab, i thought it also have the moisture function same like previous formulae in Jyun, but i was wrong. It is very watery and the color is slightly greyish compare to the other 2. This lotion is more on ability of whitening, suppress the production of melanin and lead to a more transparency beautifull skin. According to the products packaging, it stated that this toner contains  Hight purity natural arbutin, Na Hyaluronic acid and vitamin c. Usually i am using this lotion to do mask, what you need to do is just pour it onto a paper mask and wait the mask moistured and place it on your face, this method enable your skin to absorb more than just apply it using cotton puff.


Overall, the 3 lotions are same as slighhtly acidic, waterbase, and non-greassy. If you are combination or oily skin, you may have a try on these. It's worth to try as it is only RM55 and each of it can be used up to 3 months!
