Hada Labo Moisturizers at a Glance

Hada Labo’s moisturisers in Japan are 5 creams and gel creams, 1 eye cream and 4 all-in-one gels (3 Perfect Gels and UV White Gel): the creams go on after Hada Labo lotion, while the all-in-one gels replace every step after cleansing. “Medicated” means a quasi-drug (医薬部外品) with active ingredients approved in Japan.

From Rohto’s official Japanese product pages and online shop (as of September 2026). Rohto does not set a suggested retail price, so store prices in Japan vary. The Perfect Gels also come in 80 g refills (¥1,210, except UV White Gel). For the milks, see our Hada Labo milk guide.

Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Cream (極潤 ヒアルロンクリーム)

Is Hada Labo Moisturizer Acidic or Alkaline?

Rohto labels 7 of its 10 Hada Labo creams and gels weakly acidic; Gokujyun Perfect Gel, Whitening Perfect Gel and Gokujyun Premium Eye Cream carry no pH label, and Rohto publishes no pH numbers.

Healthy skin is slightly acidic, and a weakly acidic moisturiser is one option if your skin is sensitive.

Hada Labo Cream Ingredients (Gokujyun Cream Full List)

Hada Labo Gokujyun Cream has 23 ingredients in its current formula, including 4 hyaluronic acids: sodium hyaluronate, nano hyaluronic acid, super hyaluronic acid and lactic-acid-fermented hyaluronic acid.

Ingredient list as published by Rohto for Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Cream (checked September 2026), translated into English ingredient names. Formulas can change, so always check the package.

Gokujyun Premium Cream vs Gokujyun Cream

Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Cream has 8 types of hyaluronic acid to the regular cream’s 4, including an oil-capsule hyaluronic acid, and Rohto describes it as a rich, serum-grade cream that sinks in smoothly and seals moisture in. Rohto calls its feel thick, smooth and rich, and says it locks moisture into the stratum corneum.

From Rohto’s official Japanese product pages (as of September 2026). Rohto says the oil-capsule hyaluronic acid is sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium acetylated hyaluronate dissolved into oil using encapsulation technology. Both are fragrance-free, colourant-free, alcohol (ethanol)-free and paraben-free.

The Premium cream belongs to the same line as Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion, which explains what each of the 8 hyaluronic acids does.

Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Eye Cream

Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Eye Cream is a 20 g eye cream with 7 types of hyaluronic acid, 3 of them in oil capsules, that Rohto says clings the moment you apply it and keeps the dry eye area moisturised for a long time. Rohto says it makes fine lines caused by dryness less noticeable (efficacy evaluation tested), and it costs ¥1,100 on Rohto’s official online shop. See our Hada Labo eye cream guide for its full ingredient list and how to use it.

Medicated Hada Labo Creams

Hada Labo’s medicated creams go on after lotion and target whitening or ageing care. In Japan, “whitening” (美白) on a medicated product means it suppresses melanin production to help prevent spots and freckles. Hari (ハリ) means firmness; Rohto’s Hari Cream and Hari Perfect Gel are medicated with niacinamide for wrinkle improvement.

Shirojyun Premium Medicated Whitening Cream

Shirojyun Premium Medicated Whitening Cream is a 50 g cream that Rohto describes as rich to use but not sticky, sinking in smoothly. It contains tranexamic acid as the whitening active ingredient and dipotassium glycyrrhizate as an anti-inflammatory active ingredient, plus vitamin C derivative (magnesium ascorbyl phosphate), vitamin E and 2 types of hyaluronic acid. Rohto says it penetrates deep into the stratum corneum of skin exposed to UV and approaches melanocytes, where spots begin. It is weakly acidic, fragrance-free, colourant-free, mineral-oil-free, alcohol (ethanol)-free and paraben-free.

Shirojyun Medicated Whitening Gel

Shirojyun Medicated Whitening Gel is a 100 g gel cream (its registered name is ロートH薬用美白ジェルクリームGa) that Rohto calls refreshing. It contains tranexamic acid and allantoin as active ingredients, plus vitamin C derivative, vitamin E, Job’s tears extract and fermented Job’s tears, and 2 types of hyaluronic acid; Rohto says it moisturises while helping to prevent acne. Rohto’s directions: after preparing your skin with lotion, spread a suitable amount gently over the whole face. Rohto notes that crystals of the whitening ingredient may form on the cap; wipe them off with clean gauze. It is weakly acidic, fragrance-free, colourant-free, mineral-oil-free, alcohol (ethanol)-free and paraben-free. For all 8 Shirojyun products, full ingredient lists and Shirojyun vs Premium, see our Hada Labo Shirojyun guide.

Gokujyun Medicated Hari Cream

Gokujyun Medicated Hari Cream is the Gokujyun line’s ageing-care cream (Rohto: moisturising care suited to your age), with a smooth texture that Rohto says spreads easily over the whole face. It contains niacinamide as the active ingredient and 3 types of hyaluronic acid, and Rohto lists wrinkle improvement and spot prevention for mature skin. It is weakly acidic, fragrance-free, colourant-free, mineral-oil-free, alcohol (ethanol)-free and paraben-free.

Hada Labo All-in-One Gels: Perfect Gel, Whitening, Hari and UV White Gel

Hada Labo’s all-in-one gels replace every step after cleansing: Gokujyun Perfect Gel (肌ラボ 極潤パーフェクトゲル) is the moisturising one, with 5 types of hyaluronic acid plus squalane, ceramide and sacran, and Rohto says it is all you need after cleansing. It costs ¥1,617 (100 g jar) or ¥1,210 (80 g refill) on Rohto’s official online shop and is labelled fragrance-free, colourant-free, mineral-oil-free, alcohol (ethanol)-free and paraben-free. For its full ingredient list, how to use it and why listings mention different numbers of hyaluronic acids, see our Hada Labo Perfect Gel guide. For a sheet-mask all-in-one, see our Hada Labo mask guide.

Gokujyun Whitening Perfect Gel

Whitening Perfect Gel is a medicated all-in-one gel with tranexamic acid and vitamin E derivative (tocopheryl acetate) as active ingredients, which Rohto recommends for spot prevention (whitening) and moisturising care after UV exposure. It is fragrance-free, colourant-free, alcohol (ethanol)-free, mineral-oil-free and paraben-free.

Gokujyun Hari Perfect Gel

Hari Perfect Gel is a medicated all-in-one gel cream with niacinamide and dipotassium glycyrrhizate as active ingredients, and Rohto lists wrinkle improvement and spot prevention. Rohto says it covers five steps after cleansing (lotion, serum, milk, cream and mask), and it is weakly acidic, fragrance-free, colourant-free, alcohol (ethanol)-free and paraben-free.

Gokujyun UV White Gel

UV White Gel is an all-in-one gel with SPF50+ PA++++ that Rohto says covers skincare and UV protection in one step after washing your face in the morning, and it also works as a makeup base. It contains 2 types of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C derivative, comes off with soap, and is weakly acidic, fragrance-free, colourant-free and mineral-oil-free; despite its name, it is a cosmetic, not a medicated whitening product. See our Hada Labo sunscreen guide for its UV filters, full ingredient list and how to use it.

Which Hada Labo Moisturizer Should You Choose?

Choose Gokujyun Cream after your lotion for everyday moisture, Perfect Gel if you want one step, UV White Gel for mornings, Shirojyun for spot prevention and the Hari products for ageing care.

How to Use Hada Labo Moisturizer

Use a Hada Labo cream after lotion (and milk, if you use one), or use a Perfect Gel on its own straight after cleansing. UV White Gel is for mornings: it covers skincare and UV protection in one step, works as a makeup base and comes off with soap.

1. Cleanse your face (see our Hada Labo cleanser guide).
2. With a cream or Shirojyun Gel: apply your lotion (see our Hada Labo lotion guide) and, if you like, a milk, then spread a suitable amount gently over your whole face.
3. With a Perfect Gel: straight after cleansing, spread a suitable amount gently over your skin. For Hari Perfect Gel, Rohto suggests adding a little more to areas of concern to use it as a mask. See our Hada Labo Perfect Gel guide for Rohto’s full directions.
4. In the morning with UV White Gel: apply it after washing your face, then your makeup if you like. Remove it with soap.

FAQ

Is Hada Labo Perfect Gel a moisturizer?

Hada Labo cream or milk: which should I use?

Both go on after lotion: choose a milk for a lighter feel and a cream for a richer one. If you’d rather skip both, Rohto says Gokujyun Perfect Gel is all you need after cleansing. See our Hada Labo milk guide for the milks.

Which Hada Labo moisturizer is best for dry skin?

Rohto doesn’t recommend a product for a specific skin type. It describes Gokujyun Premium Cream as thick, smooth and rich, with 8 types of hyaluronic acid, and says Premium Eye Cream keeps the dry eye area moisturised for a long time.

Which Hada Labo moisturizer is best for oily skin?

Rohto doesn’t recommend a product for a specific skin type. It calls Shirojyun Gel refreshing and says it moisturises while helping to prevent acne, and it describes Perfect Gel as moisturising without stickiness.

Can I use Hada Labo UV White Gel as sunscreen and makeup base?

Rohto says UV White Gel has SPF50+ PA++++ and that, after washing your face in the morning, it takes care of skincare and UV protection (as a makeup base) in one step. It comes off with soap. See our Hada Labo sunscreen guide for its UV filters, full ingredient list and how to use it.

Which Hada Labo moisturizer is for sensitive skin?

Rohto states a patch test with the help of people with sensitive skin only for Gokujyun Hyaluronic Cream, and notes that this does not mean no one will ever react.

Does Hada Labo moisturizer contain alcohol or silicone?

Rohto labels the creams, Shirojyun Gel and the Perfect, Whitening and Hari gels alcohol (ethanol)-free; UV White Gel’s ingredient list includes ethanol (and methylparaben). The cetyl, stearyl and behenyl alcohol in the ingredient lists are fatty alcohols, not drying alcohol. Both Gokujyun Cream and Perfect Gel contain dimethicone, a silicone.

Is Hada Labo Tokyo Skin Plumping Gel Cream the same as Gokujyun Cream?

Skin Plumping Gel Cream is not a name in Rohto’s line-up in Japan; Hada Labo is sold under different names in other markets, and formulas can differ. Compare the ingredient list on the box with the full lists above.

How long does Hada Labo moisturizer last once opened?

Rohto doesn’t list a shelf life after opening on its product pages. 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.
