What Is Hada Labo Gokujyun Perfect Gel?

Hada Labo Gokujyun Perfect Gel (肌ラボ 極潤パーフェクトゲル) is Rohto’s all-in-one moisturising gel, and Rohto says that after cleansing it is all you need. Rohto’s Hada Labo brand page describes it as a high-moisture all-in-one with 5 functions in 1 (1品5機能). It contains 5 types of hyaluronic acid plus squalane, ceramide and sacran, and Rohto describes a rich, thick gel that clings to skin for long-lasting, non-sticky moisture, leaving skin as soft as after a sheet mask. It comes in a 100 g jar and an 80 g refill, and the pack shows the 濃極潤 (Koi-Gokujyun) mark, which is why it is often sold abroad as Koi-Gokujyun Perfect Gel.

How to Use Hada Labo Perfect Gel

After cleansing, take a suitable amount in your palm and spread it gently over your skin; Rohto designs it as the only step, so you don’t need a lotion or cream. Because Rohto made the formula rich enough to give a cream and mask effect, it suggests blotting with a tissue or waiting a while before applying makeup.

1. Cleanse your face (see our Hada Labo cleanser guide).
2. Take a suitable amount of Perfect Gel in your palm.
3. Spread it gently over your skin.
4. If you wear makeup, blot with a tissue or wait a while before applying it.

Perfect Gel vs Hada Labo Lotion and Cream: Do You Need Both?

No: Rohto designs Gokujyun Perfect Gel to be all you need after cleansing, so choose it if you want one step, and choose the lotion-then-cream routine if you prefer separate layers. The lotion routine starts with a hydrating lotion, covered in our Hada Labo lotion guide, followed by a milk or cream from our Hada Labo moisturizer guide.

Rohto doesn’t give directions for layering Perfect Gel with other skincare. If you want the richest lotion in the range, see Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion, and for a lighter layer after lotion, see our Hada Labo milk guide. For a sheet-mask all-in-one, see our Hada Labo mask guide.

Hada Labo Perfect Gel Types: Whitening, Hari and UV White Gel

Hada Labo makes 4 all-in-one gels in Japan: Perfect Gel for moisture, Whitening Perfect Gel (medicated) for spot prevention, Hari Perfect Gel (medicated) for wrinkle improvement, and UV White Gel with SPF50+ PA++++ for mornings.

From Rohto’s official Japanese product pages, ingredient lists and online shop (as of September 2026).

Gokujyun Whitening Perfect Gel

Whitening Perfect Gel is a medicated all-in-one gel with two active ingredients, tranexamic acid and vitamin E derivative (tocopheryl acetate), which Rohto says suppress melanin production to help prevent spots and freckles. Its capsules of hyaluronic acid and glutathione penetrate deep into the stratum corneum, and Rohto also recommends it for moisturising care after UV exposure. Whitening Perfect Gel is part of the Gokujyun line, not Shirojyun; for Hada Labo’s Shirojyun whitening line, see our Hada Labo Shirojyun guide.

Gokujyun Hari Perfect Gel

Hari Perfect Gel, labelled エイジングケア (ageing care) on the pack, is a medicated all-in-one gel cream in a 100 g bottle, with niacinamide and dipotassium glycyrrhizate as active ingredients for wrinkle improvement and spot prevention. Rohto says it covers five steps (lotion, serum, milk, cream and mask) and suggests adding a little more to areas of concern to use it as a mask.

Gokujyun UV White Gel

UV White Gel is an all-in-one gel with SPF50+ PA++++ that Rohto says covers skincare and UV protection (as a makeup base) in one step after washing your face in the morning, and it can also be used with other skincare. Its UV filters include ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, plus titanium dioxide. Unlike the other three gels, its ingredient list includes ethanol and methylparaben, and it comes off with soap. See our Hada Labo sunscreen guide for its UV filters, full ingredient list and how to use it.

Where to Buy Hada Labo Perfect Gel

If you look on marketplaces such as eBay, check the Japanese name and compare the ingredient list on the box with Rohto’s current formula.

Proxy services that buy from Japanese stores on your behalf are another option, but the service fee they advertise is only the starting point, and various other charges are added on top by the time you check out. kachicollect’s purchase request works like a proxy without the fees: paste the product URL from any Japanese store or marketplace and you get an instant quote, with duties shown before checkout.

Why Listings Say 3, 4 or 5 Hyaluronic Acids

Listings differ because Rohto has changed Perfect Gel’s design and formula: the current version lists 5 types of hyaluronic acid, while the previous jar in Rohto’s comparison image says 4種のヒアルロン酸 (4 types of hyaluronic acid) and 1品5役 (5 roles in 1) on the pack. Listings abroad that say 3 or 4 types may describe an earlier formula, so check the ingredient list on the box against Rohto’s current formula above.

FAQ

Is Koi-Gokujyun Perfect Gel the same as Gokujyun Perfect Gel?

Koi-Gokujyun is not a separate product in Rohto’s line-up in Japan: Rohto’s all-in-one gels carry the 濃極潤 (Koi-Gokujyun) mark on the pack, and shops abroad often list them under that name. Rohto’s current product name is 肌ラボ 極潤パーフェクトゲル, so check the Japanese name and the ingredient list.

Do I need a toner or lotion before Hada Labo Perfect Gel?

No. Rohto says Gokujyun Perfect Gel is all you need after cleansing. If you prefer separate layers, see our Hada Labo lotion guide.

Can I use Hada Labo Perfect Gel under makeup?

Yes. Rohto says the formula is rich, so it suggests blotting with a tissue or waiting a while before applying makeup.

Can I use Hada Labo Perfect Gel at night or as a mask?

Rohto doesn’t specify a time of day, and it says the formula is rich enough to give a cream and mask effect. Only Hari Perfect Gel comes with Rohto’s direction to apply a little more to areas of concern as a mask.

Is Hada Labo Perfect Gel good for oily or acne-prone skin?

Rohto doesn’t recommend it for a specific skin type. It describes the gel as moisturising without stickiness.

Is Hada Labo Perfect Gel good for sensitive skin?

Rohto doesn’t state a patch test or a weakly acidic label for Perfect Gel. It is labelled fragrance-free, colourant-free, mineral-oil-free, alcohol (ethanol)-free and paraben-free.

Is Hada Labo Perfect Gel good for anti-aging?

Perfect Gel is for moisture. The Hada Labo all-in-one gel with a wrinkle-improvement claim is the medicated Hari Perfect Gel, with niacinamide as an active ingredient.

Is Hada Labo Perfect Gel weakly acidic?

Rohto’s current page for Perfect Gel doesn’t say. Of the four all-in-one gels, Rohto labels Hari Perfect Gel and UV White Gel weakly acidic.

Does Hada Labo Perfect Gel contain alcohol, parabens or silicone?

Rohto labels the current formula alcohol (ethanol)-free and paraben-free, and no paraben appears in its 38-ingredient list. The behenyl and cetyl alcohol it contains are fatty alcohols, not drying alcohol. It does contain two silicones: dimethicone and dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer.

How long does Hada Labo Perfect Gel last once opened?

Rohto doesn’t list a shelf life after opening. Under Japanese rules, cosmetics that stay stable for more than three years after manufacture don’t need to show an expiry date, which is why most Japanese skincare doesn’t carry one. Close the lid after use, and stop using it if its smell or texture changes.

Conclusion: Is Hada Labo Perfect Gel Right for You?

If you want one step after cleansing, Hada Labo Gokujyun Perfect Gel is Rohto’s answer: 5 types of hyaluronic acid, squalane, ceramide and sacran in a rich gel that is fragrance-free and ethanol-free. Choose Whitening Perfect Gel for spot prevention, Hari Perfect Gel for wrinkle improvement, or UV White Gel for mornings with SPF50+ PA++++.
