Hada Labo

Hada Labo was created in 2004 by Rohto Pharmaceutical, a Japanese pharmaceutical company founded in 1899. The Gokujyun Premium Lotion is the brand's flagship product and has been Japan's number-one selling lotion for multiple consecutive years. The product has been reformulated several times (most recently in 2023) to incorporate the latest HA research.

Hada Labo Skin Plumping Gel Cream jar with translucent gel-cream moisturizer featuring triple hyaluronic acid J-Beauty Hydration Hero
Hada Labo moisturizer

Skin Plumping Gel Cream

A genuinely effective hydration machine built on Hada Labo's hyaluronic acid expertise, delivering impressive plumping and moisture for its price point. The triple HA complex and hydroxyethyl urea create noticeable skin bounciness, though the inclusion of methylisothiazolinone is a disappointing preservative choice that locks out sensitive skin users who would otherwise benefit most from this formula.

Hada Labo Tokyo Gentle Hydrating Cleanser tube with amino acid face wash formula featuring hyaluronic acid J-Beauty Gentle Cleansing Staple
Hada Labo cleanser

Tokyo Gentle Hydrating Cleanser

A genuinely clever amino acid cleanser that solves the fundamental problem of HA in a wash-off product by using cationic hyaluronic acid technology. The surfactant system is excellent and the post-wash feel is exceptional, but methylisothiazolinone in a product marketed for sensitive skin is a baffling choice that prevents a wholehearted recommendation.
