Like a concealer that resists settling into fine lines or a hair oil that leaves strands glistening, not greasy, a retinol cream suitable for dry, sensitive skin is somewhat of a rarity in the beauty world. The Hada Labo Tokyo Anti-Aging Hydrator, however, proves such a product exists. Plus, it costs less than the average wrinkle-thwarting elixir.
More than 1,000 Amazon shoppers have purchased the cream in the past month alone—and I’m keen to follow suit, particularly given its $13 price tag.

The Hada Labo Tokyo Anti-Aging Hydrator is a fragrance-free face moisturizer with myriad benefits, including plumper skin, fewer fine lines, and diminished dryness. Per fans, the formula yields a younger-looking complexion in mere weeks, and envelops even the most sensitive skin types in soothing hydration.
The cream contains a handful of A-list anti-agers—including retinol, a vitamin A-derivative known to fade fine lines and wrinkles. Despite its youth-restoring effect, however, retinol is notoriously drying; that said, Hada Tokyo’s cream mitigates the issue via hyaluronic acid.
As dermatologist Dr. Corey Hartman, M.D., previously told InStyle, hyaluronic acid, a humectant, “keeps skin moisturized and hydrated.” Paired with retinol, hyaluronic acid can counteract dryness, and allow both ingredients to work harmoniously sans irritation.
Better yet: Hada Tokyo’s cream contains not one, but three forms of hyaluronic acid, each of a different size, or molecular weight. Simply put, smaller molecules reach deeper layers of the skin, while larger forms quench superficial layers. Ultimately, this type of multi-level hydration yields longer-lasting plumpness and a lit-from-within glow. Finally, hyaluronic acid lessens the appearance of fine lines—which are more prominent when skin is thirsty.
A 60-year-old reviewer said Hada Labo’s moisturizer “plumps up” their skin more effectively than much pricier products they’ve tried. Yet another 60-year-old called the formula “great for mature skin,” noting how it has “helped lessen the appearance of wrinkles.” Another fan said their skin hasn’t looked so good since they were 12 years old—all thanks to the cream, which has “made an enormous difference” in clarity and tone. In fact, they’ve “stopped using foundation altogether” in light of the drastic improvement.
