Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Medicated Whitening Cream 50g

Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Whitening Cream 50g is a quasi-drug certified brightening moisturiser for dry and dull skin with persistent sun spots, melasma, or post-acne marks. It is the cream step in the Shirojyun Premium line — used after the Shirojyun Premium toner and milky lotion — and contains Tranexamic Acid, Vitamin C Derivative, and Hyaluronic Acid in a rich cream base that provides overnight occlusive hydration while the brightening actives work.

• Tranexamic Acid — quasi-drug certified melanin-suppression active verified under Japanese pharmaceutical standards
• Vitamin C Derivative — antioxidant and supplementary brightening support
• Hyaluronic Acid — maintains deep hydration in the cream layer overnight
• Rich cream texture — occlusive enough for very dry skin, suitable as the final skincare step
• Fragrance-free — suitable for sensitive skin prone to irritation from cream formulas
• 50g jar — standard size; approximately 3 months with daily evening use

How it works: Applied as the final step in the evening routine, the cream's occlusive base locks the Tranexamic Acid in contact with the skin through the night — the period when skin cell turnover and repair is most active. This extended contact time is why the cream step is valuable in a medicated brightening routine beyond what the toner and milky lotion steps achieve.

Shirojyun Premium Cream vs Shirojyun Whitening Gel: The Shirojyun Whitening Gel (100g) is an all-in-one lighter texture suited for oily or combination skin and daytime use. This Cream is richer and designed for dry skin or evening use where a heavier occlusive finish is appropriate and beneficial. For a streamlined routine, oily skin types may use the gel alone; dry skin types benefit from the full toner → lotion → cream layering.

Known in Japan as 肌ラボ 白潤プレミアム 薬用浸透美白クリーム 50g.
