Sheshiedo may be the most popular Japanese beauty brand in the world. But many skincare enthusiasts, especially in Reddit’s Asian Beauty and Skincare Addiction forums love Hada Labo which is claimed to be the number one skincare brand in Japan. And it seems like many Filipinas love it as well or starting to get curious about this brand. But where to buy Hada Labo in Philippines? Keep scrolling to see the list.
What is Hada Labo?
If you haven’t heard of Hada Labo, I don’t blame you, it seems like they sell in limited places, except for Japan, they’re also available in Malaysia, Singapore, Hing Kong, and Taiwan. So they’re not really a household name in many counties. But many say that they are the number one skincare brand in Japan and almost all Japanese local drugstores and beauty shops carry them. While outside of Japan, they’re very popular with those who are hardcore skincare junkies. But recently, they became known internationally even to those non-skincare fans, thanks to 9gag for sharing their commercial that has gone viral.
The commercial is a lovely short story about a girl who got rejected by a boy she likes who happens to be her friend too. Typical Asian friendzone-love story right? But no! Instead of a typical plot where the girls always transform using makeup and going on a diet to get slim, the Hada Labo love story commercial did not do any of that! Instead, the girl was just seen using Hada Labo skincare products and becomes more confident. I won’t spoil you the ending, just watch it below. The commercial is five minutes long, but I swear, you must watch it fully! It’s like your finally watching a legit beauty and body-positive Asian drama.
