Their Gokujyun Premium Lotion with 5 types of hyaluronic acid is the gold standard for hydrating toners. In Japan, “lotion” means toner — a source of endless confusion for Western buyers, but the products themselves are universally loved. Simple formulas, pharmacy-grade ingredients, no-nonsense packaging.
