Description

IHADA Medicated Moist Emulsion 135ml is the sealing emulsion step for the IHADA medicated sensitive-skin routine — applying a second dose of Allantoin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in a lightweight milky emulsion that locks in the toner's moisture and extends the medicated actives' contact time with the sensitised skin surface. Used after the IHADA Medicated Moist Lotion as the second step in the quasi-drug duo.

  • Allantoin (medicated active) — promotes cell renewal and healing; continues the anti-roughness action started at the toner step
  • Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (medicated active) — anti-inflammatory that maintains calm, redness-free skin through the day
  • Ultra-Pure Petrolatum — seals the moisture barrier more occlusively than the toner alone
  • Cell-Lipid Complex — reinforces the skin's natural recovery function at the emulsion layer
  • Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, oil-free — removes common sensitisers while providing effective moisture sealing
  • 135ml — pairs with the 180ml Medicated Moist Lotion

How it works: The emulsion applies Ultra-Pure Petrolatum as a final barrier layer over the toner — petrolatum is clinically validated as one of the most effective barrier-occlusive ingredients for atopic and sensitive skin (it is a key component of numerous dermatologist-recommended barrier creams). In IHADA's ultra-pure refined form, it provides the same occlusive benefit without the impurities in standard petrolatum that can cause sensitivity in already-reactive skin.

IHADA toner + emulsion as a pair — is both necessary? For skin with atopic or recurring sensitivity, yes — the medicated actives deliver more cumulative benefit at two sequential steps than at one step alone, and the emulsion's petrolatum seal is necessary to maintain the barrier through a full day or night. For milder sensitivity where the toner alone provides sufficient stability, the emulsion can be used every other day as a maintenance step.

Known in Japan as イハダ 薬用うるおいエマルジョン 135mL.

Key Ingredients
  • Allantoin — medicated active that suppresses inflammatory proteins in the skin, promotes cell renewal, and prevents recurring roughness cycles
  • Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate — anti-inflammatory licorice-derived active that reduces redness and calms sensitised skin at the surface level
  • Ultra-Pure Petrolatum — IHADA's high-refinement barrier ingredient; forms a uniform protective film that seals in moisture and prevents transepidermal water loss
  • N-Lauroyl-L-Glutamic Acid Di(Phytosteryl/2-Octyldodecyl) — cell-lipid analogue that mimics the structure of the skin's natural moisture-retention layer, supporting barrier recovery between uses

HOW TO USE
  1. After cleansing and toning, take a 10-yen coin amount onto your palm.
  2. Spread gently across the entire face — do not rub or drag.
  3. Finish by pressing both palms lightly against the face to help the formula settle into the skin.
  4. Use morning and evening. In the morning, follow with sunscreen. In the evening, follow with the IHADA Medicated Balm on dry areas if needed.
  5. Pro tip: Apply the emulsion while the face is still slightly damp from toner — the petrolatum layer traps residual moisture and extends hydration significantly.

FAQ

Do I need to use this with the IHADA Moist Lotion, or can it work alone?

It works well alone as a single moisturising step for combination or normal-to-dry skin in humid climates. For dry or barrier-damaged skin, pairing it with the IHADA Medicated Moist Lotion first gives significantly better results — the lotion charges the stratum corneum with moisture and actives, while the emulsion seals and protects.

How is this different from the IHADA Medicated Balm?

The emulsion is a full-face daily moisturiser with a milky texture designed for routine morning and evening use. The balm is a concentrated spot treatment or targeted finishing step for very dry areas — lips, nose folds, cheeks — with a richer, more occlusive texture. Most users apply the emulsion first and spot-apply the balm on top as needed.

Is this suitable for oily or combination skin?

Yes. The formula is non-comedogenic and specifically designed to not feel heavy or occlusive. In Japan it is frequently recommended for oily skin in winter, when even oily skin types experience barrier disruption from dry indoor heating. The milky texture absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky or greasy surface feel.

Can children or teenagers use this?

Yes. The formula is allergy-tested, free from common irritants, and gentle enough for use from childhood. It is frequently used in Japan on teenagers experiencing acne-related dryness and barrier disruption — the medicated actives help prevent roughness without the harshness of acne-specific treatments.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. This is the Japan-domestic quasi-drug formula (医薬部外品) sold at Matsumotokiyoshi and major Japanese drugstores. TokyoShelf sources directly from Tokyo drugstores so every unit carries the domestic formula and labelling.
