Product Details
Quench your skin’s thirst with the concentrated power of Hada Labo Gokujyun Essence, a Japanese skincare icon designed to deliver immediate, multi-depth hydration. This potent serum features the brand's signature "Super Hyaluronic Acid" (Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate), a specialized molecule that retains twice the moisture of standard hyaluronic acid and anchors deeply into the skin's surface. Unlike watery toners, this essence has a rich, velvety gel consistency that acts as a moisture magnet, locking in hydration to prevent evaporation and keeping your complexion plump and dewy for hours.
Formulated with a "less is more" philosophy, this essence is a savior for sensitive and reactive skin types. It is rigorously pH-balanced to match your skin's natural acidity and is completely free from unnecessary additives like fragrances, mineral oils, alcohols, and colorants. The clean formula sinks rapidly into the epidermis without leaving a sticky or greasy residue, creating a smooth, bouncy canvas that is colloquially referred to in Japan as "mochi-mochi" skin—soft, supple, and resilient like a rice cake.
Packed into a compact 1.05 oz (30g) pump bottle, this essence is the heavy lifter of your routine, bridging the gap between your toner and moisturizer. Its concentrated nature means you only need one or two pumps to cover the entire face, instantly smoothing fine lines caused by dehydration. Whether you are battling dry winter air or just need a daily moisture boost, this essence ensures your skin barrier remains fortified and visibly radiant.
Super Hyaluronic Acid Technology This formula utilizes a proprietary blend of Hyaluronic Acids, including "Super HA," which is designed to hold moisture more effectively than standard HA. It works synergistically to hydrate different layers of the skin, ensuring deep, long-lasting moisture retention
Instant "Mochi-Mochi" Bounce Upon application, the essence fills the skin with hydration, delivering an immediate plumping effect. It transforms dull, flat texture into a firm, bouncy complexion that feels incredibly soft to the touch.
Rich Gel-Serum Texture Distinct from the watery Hada Labo lotions, this essence boasts a thicker, concentrated gel texture. It glides effortlessly over the skin, providing a cushion of moisture that absorbs fully without the heavy or tacky finish often associated with rich serums.
pH Balanced & Additive-Free Respecting the skin’s integrity, the formula is weakly acidic to align with healthy skin pH levels. It is free from fragrance, artificial colors, mineral oil, and ethanol, making it an ultra-gentle choice for those prone to irritation or breakouts.
Moisture-Locking Barrier Support By replenishing the skin’s natural moisturizing factors (NMF), this essence strengthens the lipid barrier. It prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL), ensuring that the hydration you apply stays locked in throughout the day or night.
