I'll preface by saying I have a nagging suspicion that I may have gotten a counterfeit product but before I return it I want to see if we have similar experiences because I could be wrong :/
So the last hada labo premium lotion I had was the previous formula and I recently got the new one which right off the bat smells and feels too close to my my cosrx snail 96 mucin. It also seems watery but still had that slight slimy, a bit sticky-but-not-really texture. It dissipates/gets absorbed by my skin in less than a minute and left my face dry (and I already have dry skin). I liked the previous formula where it left a tolerable thin film of grease on my face so this new experience was quite shocking to me. Now I understand that it could all just be because of the new formulation but I would like to hear you guys' thoughts on this
ps. it also has the "rohto" logo on the bottom front of the bottle but I looked up photos of it from the past year and found only japanese characters for rohto on that part of the bottle. plus a missing text on the plastic packaging on its cap. I admit these are miniscule details and are easily dismissable so I'm open to having my suspicions corrected. TIA
