Description

DHC Medicated Lip Cream 1.5g is a quasi-drug conditioning lip balm for dry, chapped, and peeling lips — Japan's bestselling medicated lip product for over 30 years, using Virgin Olive Oil, Squalane, Vitamin E, and Aloe Vera in a compact stick format that heals surface lip dryness, seals in moisture, and creates a smooth, non-sticky base for lipstick application. The compact 1.5g stick is the format used directly on the lips; DHC also offers a larger variant for body use.

  • Virgin Olive Oil — rich in antioxidants and fatty acids that nourish and protect the thin lip skin from moisture loss
  • Squalane — lightweight emollient matching skin's own lipid chemistry; prevents moisture loss without heaviness
  • Aloe Vera Extract — soothes inflammation and heals micro-cracks in lip tissue
  • Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — antioxidant protection and support for skin barrier repair
  • 1.5g — compact format for daily application 2–3 times daily

How it works: The combination of olive oil fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, palmitic) with Squalane provides a balanced emollient profile — delivering immediate softness and a non-greasy protective film. The Aloe and Vitamin E support the healing of existing dry skin damage while the oleic acid in olive oil penetrates the lip stratum corneum to improve flexibility and prevent cracking.

DHC Lip Cream vs Mentholatum medicated lip balms: DHC Lip Cream is a skin-nourishing olive oil lip conditioner without medicated pharmaceutical actives. Mentholatum Deep Moist is a quasi-drug with Vitamin E as a regulated chapping-prevention active. For general daily conditioning and lipstick prep, DHC Lip Cream. For active treatment of recurring chapped lip conditions, a quasi-drug formula (Mentholatum, Yuskin) is the appropriate choice.

Known in Japan as DHC 薬用リップクリーム 1.5g.

Key Ingredients
  • Virgin Olive Oil: Rich in antioxidants and fatty acids to nourish and protect skin.
  • Squalane: A lightweight emollient that prevents moisture loss and improves elasticity.
  • Aloe Vera Extract: Soothes inflammation and heals micro-cracks in the lip tissue.
  • Vitamin E (Tocopherol): An essential skin-softener that fights free radical damage.

HOW TO USE
  1. Glide the stick gently over clean, dry lips as needed throughout the day.
  2. Apply a slightly thicker layer before bed to use as an overnight lip mask.
  3. Wear under lipstick to prevent color from settling into fine lines.

Pro Tip: If your lips are extra flaky, gently exfoliate with a warm washcloth before applying for maximum absorption.

FAQ

Is this the authentic Japanese version? Yes, Tokyo Shelf exclusively stocks the Japan-market version in its iconic pink-and-silver packaging. Sourced fresh from Tokyo, our stock is guaranteed authentic and far fresher than bulk-imported warehouse versions.

Does it have a flavor or scent? No, this is completely fragrance-free and tasteless, making it ideal for those who dislike the "waxy" or "fruity" taste of typical lip balms.

Can I use this on my children? Yes, the gentle, paraben-free botanical formula is suitable for sensitive skin of all ages.

What is the difference between this and the "Extra Moisture" version? The classic (this version) is the best-seller for daily use and layering. The Extra Moisture version contains additional botanical oils and is designed for intensive nighttime repair.

Does it contain SPF? This specific version focuses on deep hydration and botanical repair without chemical UV filters, making it safer for highly sensitive lips.

How do I know if my DHC Lip Cream is real or fake? Authentic DHC Lip Cream from Tokyo Shelf has a slight yellow tint (from the olive oil) and a very smooth, effortless glide. Fake versions are often pure white, have a plastic-like smell, or the cap does not click shut firmly.
