Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Milky Lotion 140ml

Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Milky Lotion 140ml is a lightweight emulsion for normal to combination skin that needs a moisture-sealing step after toner without the weight of a cream. In Japanese skincare, the emulsion (乳液) step follows toner and provides an oil-water barrier that slows moisture evaporation — it sits between toner and cream in the routine or replaces cream for oily skin types that find creams too heavy.

• Multiple types of Hyaluronic Acid — seals in the hydration applied by the Gokujyun toner underneath
• Lightweight milky texture — provides an emollient barrier without the occlusive heaviness of a cream
• Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, mineral oil-free, colorant-free
• Suitable for oily-to-normal skin as a standalone final step after toner
• Suitable for dry skin as a mid-layer between toner and cream
• 140ml — standard full-size bottle

How it works: An emulsion contains both water-phase and oil-phase ingredients emulsified together. When applied after a water-based toner, the oil component forms a light film that slows transepidermal water loss — the process where moisture applied to skin evaporates before the skin can benefit from it. This is the core function of the milky lotion step in Japanese skincare, and this formula performs it without the heaviness that stops oily skin types from using it.

Milky Lotion vs Gokujyun Toner: These are two different steps, not alternatives. The toner hydrates; the milky lotion seals that hydration in. For a complete Gokujyun routine: toner first, then milky lotion. For very dry skin, add the Gokujyun Cream on top. For oily skin, the toner plus this milky lotion is usually sufficient without a cream.

Known in Japan as 肌ラボ 極潤 ヒアルロン乳液 140ml.
