HADA LABO Shirojyun Whitening Lotion Normal/Light

Formulated to offer brightening and hydration benefits. It is part of the Shirojyun (“white pure”) line from the brand Hada Labo (a subsidiary of Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) which focuses on whitening/brightening and moisture support. The “Normail/Light” version is described as having a lighter texture than the Moist version, making it more suitable for oily to combination skin types or for use in warmer/humid climates. It is positioned as a medicated whitening lotion in Japan, featuring active brightening ingredients (such as tranexamic acid) and hydrating ingredients (including hyaluronic acid variants) and formulated without fragrance, colour‑ants, mineral oil, and in some versions without alcohol.

Features and Benefits

• Brightening/whitening: Contains active brightening ingredients intended to suppress melanin formation and help reduce the appearance of age‑spots/freckles. 
• Lightweight texture: The “Light” version is designed for fast absorption and non‑heavy feel, suitable for skin types that dislike thick lotions. 
• Deep hydration: Includes multiple types of hyaluronic acid (including hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid / nano‑HA and sodium hyaluronate) to help bind water and support skin moisture. 
• Gentle formulation: Fragrance‑free, colourant‑free, mineral‑oil‑free, alcohol‑free (in many versions) and paraben‑free, making it more suitable for sensitive skin. 
• Multi‑step friendly: As a toner/lotion step after cleansing, it prepares skin for subsequent serums, emulsions or creams.

Suitable Skin Types

• Oily and combination skin: Because of its lighter texture (#Light version), it is especially well suited for skin types that prefer less heavy products or dislike sticky finishes. 
• Normal skin: Will benefit from the brightening and hydrating properties without being overly rich.
• Sensitive or pigment‑concerned skin: Due to its gentle formulation and focus on brightening (age spots, freckles), it may suit somewhat sensitive skin, though patch testing is always recommended.
• Note: For very dry skin types, the richer version (“Rich” or “Moist” in the line) may be more suitable.
