What sets the Gokujyun hyaluronic lotion apart is its triple-molecular approach to hydration. Standard formulas use a single weight of hyaluronic acid; Gokujyun uses three — large, medium, and small molecules — so moisture is deposited at the skin’s surface, mid-layers, and deeper barrier simultaneously.
High-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid
Sits on the skin’s surface to form a protective, moisture-retaining film that reduces trans-epidermal water loss and leaves a smooth, supple feel immediately after application.
Standard Hyaluronic Acid
Penetrates the upper layers of the stratum corneum to hydrate from within, plumping fine dry lines and supporting a healthier, more resilient skin texture over time.
Super Hyaluronic Acid (Acetyl)
A next-generation derivative with twice the water-retention capacity of standard hyaluronic acid. It reaches deeper layers to deliver sustained, all-day moisture that ordinary lotions cannot match.
Active ingredient: Hyaluronic Acid. Item form: Lotion. Skin type: Dry. Special feature: Antibacterial. Volume: 170 ml (standard) / 400 ml (pump). Brand lineage: Rohto Pharmaceutical.
How to Build Your Routine
Use this five-step guide to review Hyaluronic Lotion from Hada Labo Gokujyun and make an informed choice from the available product information.
- 01
Cleanse Your Skin Thoroughly
Begin with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup. Pat skin dry with a soft towel, leaving it slightly damp — the residual moisture helps the hyaluronic lotion absorb faster and more evenly.
- 02
Choose Your Gokujyun Formula
Select the Clear version for a lighter, faster-drying feel — ideal for morning use or warmer weather. Choose the Moist formula for richer hydration in dry climates or during winter. The 400 ml pump works well for both, offering the same Moist formula in a convenient daily-use size.
- 03
Apply to Your Face and Neck
Dispense two to three drops (or one pump) into clean palms. Press the lotion gently into your face and neck using upward motions, ensuring full coverage across cheeks, forehead, chin, and the delicate skin around your eyes. Avoid rubbing, which can reduce absorption efficiency.
- 04
Layer for Deeper Hydration
For very dry or dehydrated skin, apply a second layer of the lotion immediately after the first has absorbed — a technique known as “lotion masking” in Japanese skincare. Allow each layer 30 seconds to sink in before adding the next. This multi-step application amplifies the three-hyaluronic-acid benefit significantly.
- 05
Seal with a Moisturiser or Emulsion
Follow immediately with the Gokujyun Hyaluronic Milk or your preferred moisturiser to lock in the hydration delivered by the lotion. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant — it draws water in — so sealing it with an emollient layer prevents that moisture from evaporating and keeps skin comfortable all day or throughout the night.
Hyaluronic Lotion Reviews — What Customers Are Saying
Visibly Plumper Skin Within Days

Many report that fine dry lines appear reduced after the first week of twice-daily use, and that the lightweight texture makes it easy to fit into an existing routine without feeling heavy or greasy.

The Pump Bottle Is a Game Changer
The 400 ml pump version earns particular praise for its hygienic, mess-free dispensing and the value it offers over the standard bottle. Reviewers note that the formula is identical to the classic Moist lotion and that the larger size reduces how often they need to reorder — making it the preferred choice for committed daily users.

People with dry or reactive skin frequently describe the Gokujyun lotion as the most calming and effective hydration step they have found.

Visit Official StoreFrequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Clear and Moist Gokujyun lotions?
Both formulas contain the same three-type hyaluronic acid complex. The Clear lotion has a thinner, water-like consistency and absorbs almost instantly, making it ideal for morning routines or warmer climates. The Moist version has a slightly thicker texture that provides a more cushioned, comfortable feel and is better suited to very dry skin or cold-weather use.
Is the hyaluronic lotion suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The Gokujyun range is formulated without added fragrance or colourants, and is designed to be gentle on dry and reactive skin types. It is listed for adult use and has a minimal ingredient profile that reduces the likelihood of irritation. As with any new skincare product, a patch test on the inner wrist is recommended before full facial application.
Where does the hyaluronic lotion fit in a skincare routine?
Apply it immediately after cleansing, while your skin is still slightly damp. It acts as the hydrating toning step — replacing traditional astringent toners — and should be followed by a serum or moisturiser to lock in the moisture it delivers. It can be used morning and night.
How much product do I use per application?
Two to three drops from the standard bottle or one press of the pump is typically enough to cover the full face and neck. For a deeper hydration effect, a second layer can be applied once the first has absorbed — a common technique in Japanese skincare routines.
What size options are available?
The standard bottle holds 170 ml, which is well suited to trialling the formula. The pump bottle contains 400 ml (13.5 fl oz) and offers a more economical choice for daily users who are already committed to the routine.
