This is a lotion that can act as a moisturizer for face & body. Recently, my hands skin are very dry because I have OCD to wash my hands & work in cold air-conditioned room afterwhat. I need something to moisturize it, but not sticky like a hand cream. When I found this at Aeon Mall BSD (to buy big sale Osewaya's earrings), I tried to put the lotion on my hand. It feels hydrating, cooling off, a good item. And in the end, I bought the full 500ml bottle for Rp 98.500,-! It's quite a deal.

REVIEWS

After knowing the facts that it helps hydrating my hand, I immediately grabbed one to buy. At home, I tried using it with cotton pad and left it for a few seconds until I got it through my entire face. It feels refreshing & cooling. The liquid is quickly absorbed to the skin and I think it's thanks to alcohol ingredient in it. But I don't think I can use a product with alcohol too much because it always gives me acne (see the chart above with acne remark). I feel it after using twice a day, so I better use it once a day and it works well.

It helps moisturizing my face before putting on makeup. After I put powder on top, it doesn't crack a lot like usual. Plus, it brightens face! This product is really great. The spray bottle can be used when you feel your skin is burnt and just spray it. But since I'm lazy to bring anything when going out, I'm just using this Hatomugi at home whenever I feel my skin is dry. And in the end, I rarely use it on my body since once again, LAZY. I always wash my hands and it'll be a waste after putting this liquid. It's also quick to dry and very comfortable.
