Description

Yuskin Medical Lip Cream is a Japanese third-class pharmaceutical lip treatment in the brand's signature jar format, formulated to treat — not just moisturise — cracked, peeling, and inflamed lips. Unlike cosmetic lip balms, this is classified as a 第3類医薬品 (OTC medication) in Japan, containing five active pharmaceutical ingredients approved for treating cheilitis and angular cheilitis. Available at Matsumotokiyoshi across Japan, it is the medical-grade complement to Yuskin's body cream heritage.

The formula centres on Allantoin to promote cell regeneration, Glycyrrhetinic Acid to reduce inflammation, and Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) to support skin renewal — alongside Pantenol (Vitamin B5) and Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6). The yellow colour is from Vitamin B2. Steroid-free and fragrance-free (no menthol), with a Moist Grip formula using high-concentration glycerin to lock moisture against the lip surface.

The jar format gives a generous 8.5g fill — considerably more than a standard lip balm stick. Fragrance-free and menthol-free, making it comfortable for cold, dry, or sensitive lips.

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.
