Hada Labo
Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist
肌ラボ極潤ヒアルロン液
skincare lotion
A hydrating lotion (Japanese "化粧水", meaning watery toner) with 4 types of hyaluronic acid, including a fermented HA developed using Rohto's lactic acid bacteria technology. The texture is a light, slightly viscous liquid that absorbs quickly when patted onto damp skin. Probably the single most recommended Japanese skincare product on Reddit's r/AsianBeauty and the product that introduces most people to J beauty. The "Moist" version is the standard one in the Gokujyun lineup, sitting between the even thinner Light and the richer, more concentrated Premium. Versatile enough for face, body, and even hair. Fragrance free, colorant free, oil free, alcohol free, paraben free. Patch tested for sensitive skin.
Key Ingredients
FAQ
What is the difference between Moist and Premium?
Moist has 4 types of hyaluronic acid in a light, watery texture. Premium has 7 types of HA (including a 3D variant) in a much thicker, almost serum-like texture. Moist is better for oily or combination skin, hot humid weather, and multi-layer application (7-skin method). Premium is better for dry skin, winter, or if you want maximum hydration in one step. Both are fragrance-free and affordable.
Should I apply this to damp or dry skin?
Damp skin, always. Hyaluronic acid binds to water, so if you apply it to dry skin, it can pull moisture from deeper skin layers and make you feel dehydrated. Pat it onto freshly cleansed, still-damp skin (or mist your face first), and follow with a moisturizer to seal it in. This is the secret to making HA products work.
Can I use this on my hair and body?
Yes. The ingredient list is gentle enough for full body use, and many people apply it to damp hair for extra hydration or use it as a body lotion in summer. It's especially popular for preventing crepey skin on arms and legs. The 170ml bottle is technically face-sized, but the formula is versatile.
