Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion [New Nano Formula]

Like Hada Labo SHA Hydrating Lotion, Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion now comes in the New Nano Formula. Prior to this, I've not tried the one without. 

According to Hada Labo, Arbutin Whitening Lotion is so well loved by Japanese women that it is the "No.1 Whitening Lotion in Japan". It has a simple tagline: One Drop Reveals Natural Fairness. Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion gives users 3 benefits (of Shirojyun Whitening) in just 1 step >> Deep Moisturizing, Intensive Repairing, Double Whitening.

Its main ingredients - Arbutin + Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid, helps users to achieve fair, moist and bright skin. 

• Arbutin, an extract from natural plant bearberry, has natural whitening properties to fight dark spots. It also smooths and clarifies to optimize skin's radiance and translucency.
• Vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of dark spots to reveal clearer and fairer skin.
• Hyaluronic Acid hydrates skin intensely, leaving it feel soft and supple.

It is free of fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol and colorant. Skin pH balanced. Low irritation. 

Ingredients:

Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Arbutin, PPG-10 Methyl Glucose Ether, Disodium Succinate, Methylparaben, Styrene/ VP Copolymer, Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Succinic Acid, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

In terms of packaging, Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion and SHA Hydrating Lotion are almost identical, just the bottle color difference. The former is blue whereas the latter is white.

The lotion is in a cloudy, liquidy form. It has an ultra light consistency, which feels almost like water. For my face, 2 drops of the lotion will suffice. To apply, simply pat the lotion onto the skin gently. There will a very mild sticky feeling in the initial stage. Once the lotion is absorbed into the skin, the sticky feeling dissipates. As it comes in the New Nano Formula, the rate of absorption is really fast. 

There is no sign of irritation, which is good. I am particularly wary of trying out whitening products, as some tend to irritate my sensitive skin. It does clarify and brighten my skin slightly (while keeping it well hydrated) after 2 months of use.
