Is Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion Acidic or Alkaline?
Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion is weakly acidic. Rohto labels it “the same weakly acidic pH as healthy skin” but does not publish a pH number.
pH: Weakly acidic
pH 3–6 Neutral
pH 6–8 Weakly alkaline
pH 8–11
Source: manufacturer label (Rohto: “the same weakly acidic pH as healthy skin”). The exact pH value is not published.
Healthy skin is slightly acidic, and Rohto explains that when skin stays weakly acidic, the skin’s protective film of sebum works normally and helps protect it from irritation. Weakly acidic products are one option if your skin is sensitive.
The 8 Hyaluronic Acids in Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion
Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion contains 8 types of hyaluronic acid, each chosen by Rohto for a different job: some hold water, some cling to the skin surface, and some are small enough to reach the outer layer of skin (the stratum corneum). Rohto calls it the most hyaluronic acid types in any Hada Labo product.
Hyalo Repair® (new)
Rohto says it is the only hyaluronic acid in Hada Labo with both water-loving and oil-loving properties, filling skin with moisture and protecting the moisture the skin barrier needs.
3D hyaluronic acid
Rohto says its net-like, three-dimensional structure wraps around moisture and holds it.
Super hyaluronic acid
Rohto says it holds about twice as much water as hyaluronic acid and blends with the skin’s sebum film.
Nano hyaluronic acid
Rohto says it is about 1/100 the size of hyaluronic acid or smaller, reaching the stratum corneum for soft, supple skin.
| Rohto’s name | Ingredient | What Rohto says it does |
|---|---|---|
| Hyalo Repair® (new) | C12-13 Alkyl Glyceryl Hydrolyzed Hyaluronate | Has both water-loving and oil-loving properties; fills skin with moisture and protects the moisture the skin barrier needs |
| 3D hyaluronic acid | Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer | Net-like 3D structure that wraps around moisture and holds it |
| Skin-adhering hyaluronic acid | Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate | Adheres to the skin surface and keeps moisture there |
| Hyaluronic acid | Sodium Hyaluronate | High water-holding capacity: 1 g can hold 6 litres of water |
| Super hyaluronic acid | Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate | About twice the water-holding capacity of hyaluronic acid; blends with the sebum film |
| Nano hyaluronic acid | Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid | About 1/100 the size of hyaluronic acid or smaller; reaches the stratum corneum |
| Lactic-acid-fermented hyaluronic acid | Lactococcus/Hyaluronic Acid Ferment Filtrate | Holds water and delivers moisture the skin barrier needs |
| Penetrating hyaluronic acid | Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate | The smallest hyaluronic acid in Hada Labo; reaches deep into the stratum corneum |
Names and descriptions from Rohto’s official Gokujyun Premium page (as of September 2026). “Penetrating” and “reaches” refer to the stratum corneum, the outer layer of skin.

FAQ
Is Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion a toner?
Yes, in the way most readers use the word. Rohto classes it as a lotion (化粧水), the hydrating step used right after cleansing, and describes it as giving serum-level moisture with a rich, thick texture.
What’s the difference between Gokujyun and Gokujyun Premium?
Gokujyun Premium Lotion has 8 types of hyaluronic acid and a rich, thick texture; Gokujyun Lotion has 4 and a gently thick texture. Both contain sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium acetylated hyaluronate and the lactic-acid-fermented hyaluronic acid. Premium adds Hyalo Repair®, 3D hyaluronic acid, skin-adhering hyaluronic acid and penetrating hyaluronic acid, plus extra moisturising ingredients such as Sacran®.
Do I need a milk after Hada Labo Premium Lotion?
Rohto designs it to be followed by one: its Gokujyun Premium routine goes lotion first, then Premium Hyaluronic Milk (140 mL) or Premium Hyaluronic Cream (50 g) to seal in moisture, then the eye cream (20 g).
What changed in the new Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion?
The current formula adds Hyalo Repair®, bringing the total to 8 types of hyaluronic acid, the most Rohto has put in a Hada Labo product. Rohto also switched to a bottle partly made from biomass material that is easier to open with one hand and softer to squeeze. If the ingredient list includes 加水分解ヒアルロン酸アルキル（C12-13）グリセリル (Hyalo Repair®), you have the current formula.
Is Rohto Mentholatum Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion the same product?
“Rohto Mentholatum” is a name that appears on some Hada Labo packaging. This article follows the current formula on Rohto’s Japanese site, which lists 8 types of hyaluronic acid and no parabens. The ingredient list on the box is what counts, so compare it with the full list above before you buy.
Is Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion good for oily skin?
Rohto doesn’t specify a skin type for Gokujyun Premium Lotion. It is oil-free, and if you prefer a lighter feel, Rohto describes Gokujyun Lotion Light as non-sticky and fresh.
Is Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion good for sensitive skin?
Rohto doesn’t state a patch test on the Gokujyun Premium page. It is weakly acidic and free of fragrance, colourants, ethanol and parabens; if you want a patch-tested option, Rohto says Gokujyun Lotion was patch-tested with the help of people with sensitive skin.
Does it contain alcohol or fragrance?
No. Rohto describes Gokujyun Premium Lotion as fragrance-free, colourant-free, oil-free, alcohol (ethanol)-free and paraben-free.
How long does Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion last once opened?
Rohto doesn’t list a shelf life after opening on its product page. 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 cap after use, and stop using it if its smell or texture changes.
Conclusion: Is Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion Worth It?
If you want the most hydrating lotion in Rohto’s Hada Labo range, Gokujyun Premium Lotion is the one to choose: 8 types of hyaluronic acid, a rich texture that sinks in smoothly, and a weakly acidic, fragrance-free formula. If you prefer a lighter feel, Gokujyun Lotion or Gokujyun Lotion Light are the alternatives (see our Hada Labo lotion guide for all 9 lotions), and our Hada Labo cleanser guide covers the step before it.
