Customer Testimonials
I love the rich, bouncy texture! I’m a huge fan. (40s)
HIME-LABO SUPER MOISTURE GEL deeply hydrates my skin, leaving it soft and plump. Another reason I repurchased the gel is that it’s an all-in-one product that’s quick and easy to use.
HIME-LABO makes my skin feel as plump and rejuvenated. (60s)
My skin became more plump and hydrated after I started using Kuricera (the super moisture gel)! I apply this gel after using the HIME-LABO soap and essence lotion as part of my daily routine.
The HIME-LABO UV Cream is a must for daily sun protection. (30s)
The UV cream gives my skin the perfect glow, so some days it’s the only product I use when I go out. The UV protection is perfect for my needs, as I mainly only go outside to commute to work each day.
