| ① Immediately After Washing Face | After washing your face, take an appropriate amount onto clean palms. |
| ② Morning Care (Quick) | Use your entire palm to gently blend and press the product into the skin deeply. |
| ③ Night Care (Thorough) | Take an amount about the size of a 500-yen coin and gently blend it into the skin with both hands, repeating this 2 to 3 times. Absorbing it until the skin sticks to your hands can provide higher moisturizing effects. |

Hada Labo is a skincare brand launched by Rohto Pharmaceutical in 2004 with the philosophy of "Perfect Simple®", which means "no unnecessary ingredients, only pursuing what is necessary." The entire series consistently maintains formulations free of fragrance, coloring, alcohol (ethanol), mineral oil, and parabens.
The Gokujyun Aging Care series was developed to meet the three major needs of aging skin—"wrinkle improvement + spot prevention + high moisture retention"—in one line. The core is the use of the active ingredient Niacinamide. Niacinamide is a groundbreaking ingredient with two quasi-drug effects: it promotes collagen production to improve wrinkles and simultaneously inhibits melanin transfer to prevent spots and freckles. Furthermore, by adding Rohto's unique three types of hyaluronic acid formulation along with acetyl glucosamine and oil components exclusive to the aging care series, it provides comprehensive moisturizing care that aging skin demands.
The current formula was renewed in September 2021, and despite its affordable price, it is supported by a wide range of ages as an anti-aging cosmetic with serum-level functions.
