Description

Yuskin Medical Lip Cream 8.5g is a Japanese third-class pharmaceutical (第3類医薬品) lip treatment for severely chapped, cracked, and inflamed lips — the only lip product in the TokyoShelf range classified as an OTC medication rather than a cosmetic or quasi-drug. It contains five active pharmaceutical ingredients including Allantoin, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Vitamin E, and Nicotinamide for comprehensive medicinal repair of cheilitis and damaged lip conditions in a generous 8.5g jar format.

  • Allantoin (pharmaceutical active) — promotes cell regeneration and accelerates healing of cracked lip tissue
  • Glycyrrhetinic Acid (pharmaceutical active) — anti-inflammatory reducing redness and swelling from lip irritation
  • Tocopherol Acetate / Vitamin E (pharmaceutical active) — supports skin cell renewal and protects against oxidative damage
  • Nicotinamide (pharmaceutical active) — stimulates collagen production in the dermis and supports skin barrier repair
  • 8.5g jar — generous format providing 2–4 months of daily therapeutic use

How it works: Third-class pharmaceutical classification means each active ingredient is present at a concentration regulated by Japan's Ministry of Health for therapeutic effect — not just cosmetic skin-feel improvement. Allantoin accelerates cellular turnover in damaged lip tissue; Glycyrrhetinic Acid suppresses the prostaglandin-mediated inflammation of cheilitis; Nicotinamide supports the collagen matrix of the thinner lip skin that loses structural integrity in severe chronic chapping.

Yuskin Medical Lip Cream vs quasi-drug lip balms: Quasi-drug lip products (Mentholatum Deep Moist, Mentholatum Water Lip) carry one medicated active for chapping prevention. The Yuskin Medical Lip Cream contains five pharmaceutical actives for active therapeutic treatment of existing lip conditions — appropriate when chapping is chronic, severe, or has progressed to visible cracking and inflammation that preventive quasi-drug products have not resolved.

Known in Japan as ユースキン メディカルリップクリーム 8.5g.

Key Ingredients
  • Allantoin — active ingredient that promotes cell regeneration and accelerates healing of cracked lip tissue
  • Glycyrrhetinic Acid — anti-inflammatory active that reduces redness and swelling from cheilitis
  • Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) — supports skin cell renewal and protects against oxidative damage
  • Panthenol (Vitamin B5) — maintains skin health and supports moisture retention in lip tissue
  • Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6) — active ingredient that sustains healthy skin and supports repair

HOW TO USE
  1. Clean and dry the lips before application.
  2. Apply a small amount from the jar with a clean fingertip.
  3. Spread evenly and allow to absorb. Use several times daily, especially after eating, before going outside, and before sleep.
  4. Apply a generous layer before bed for intensive overnight repair — the thick formula stays on lips without transferring.

FAQ

What is the difference between a cosmetic lip balm and this product?

Cosmetic lip balms moisturise and protect but cannot legally claim to treat. Yuskin Medical Lip Cream is classified as a third-class OTC drug in Japan, containing active pharmaceutical ingredients approved to treat cracked lips, cheilitis, and angular cheilitis — not just prevent dryness.

Why is there no menthol?

Menthol can cause a cooling sensation that irritates already-inflamed or damaged lips. This formula is deliberately menthol-free to avoid aggravating sensitive or cracked lip tissue.

Why a jar rather than a stick?

The jar format allows a thicker, richer application that coats and seals the lip surface more effectively than a stick. The 8.5g fill also gives much longer use than a standard lip balm.

How does this compare to DHC Lip Cream?

DHC Lip Cream is a cosmetic moisturiser with olive oil as its hero ingredient — excellent for prevention and daily hydration. Yuskin Medical Lip Cream is an OTC drug with five active pharmaceutical ingredients targeting active cracking, inflammation, and cheilitis. For damaged or inflamed lips, Yuskin Medical is the stronger treatment option.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. This is the Japan-domestic pharmaceutical product sold at Matsumotokiyoshi, sourced directly by TokyoShelf. The Japanese OTC drug classification and formula are not replicated in export versions.
