Reddit reviews Cosmetic Roland - Super Hyaluronic Acid and Astaxanthin Lotion 185ml

Full Product Name: Biyougeneki Super Hyaluronic Acid & Astaxanthin Lotion

Skin Type/Skin Tone/Current Climate: Combo/Fair Olive/Hot & Humid

Reason for Use: Hydration & plumping

Product Size & Price: 185ml/13€

Packaging: Drip bottle, not very precise for measuring out droplets though.

Ingredients: (according to Cosdna)

Water, Glycerin. Butylene Glycol, Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Laminaria extract, Carnitine, Ubiquinone, Collagen, Sodium acetylhyaluronate, Rose Hip Oil, Glyceryl Tricaprylate-caprate, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Octanediol

Product smell, texture & finish: Lightly scented, viscous fluid that finishes dewy and a bit sticky.

Product effects compared to claims: I can't speak for any anti aging clams, since that was not one of my goals, but for hydration it does okay. I haven't noticed any significant changes in my skin since starting to use it. No significant plumping, and hydration wise, I've also noticed minimal effect.

Where it fits in the routine & how it behaves with other products: It's a hydrating lotion, so for me it comes right after double cleansing. It does not help with the absorption of other products, it does however make sticky products even stickier since it itself is a viscous, almost slimy feeling fluid. It absorbs much slower than some other lotions I've used in the past.


How long it has been used for: Approx. 4 weeks


Has it been/will it be repurchased: No, I will be trying other products.


Concluding remarks: Overall, it filled a step in my routine as I was waiting for another lotion to come, but I feel that it does not deliver any particular effect in regards to plumping and even hydration. It was just... okay.
