Description

Yuskin Medicated Vitamin Cream is Japan's iconic yellow quasi-drug body cream, trusted for over 60 years to heal chapped hands, cracked heels, chilblains, and severe dry skin. Available at Matsumotokiyoshi across Japan, it works on hands, elbows, knees, heels, and anywhere skin needs deep repair — gentle enough for babies and sensitive skin.

Four active pharmaceutical ingredients — Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E), Glycyrrhetinic Acid, dl-Camphor, and Glycerin — work together to treat inflammation, restore softness, and accelerate skin barrier recovery. Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C are added as moisturising boosters. The distinctive yellow colour comes from Vitamin B2, not dye.

The 120g bottle format is ideal for bathroom or bedside use. Fragrance-free apart from the light camphor note of the active ingredient, which fades quickly on skin. Steroid-free formula.

Key Ingredients
  • Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) — anti-inflammatory active ingredient that repairs damaged skin and supports barrier recovery
  • Glycyrrhetinic Acid — reduces redness and soothes inflamed, cracked skin
  • dl-Camphor — stimulates circulation and gives the characteristic light cooling sensation
  • Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) — draws moisture into the skin and maintains lasting hydration
  • Vitamin C — brightening moisturising co-ingredient that supports skin health

HOW TO USE
  1. Clean and dry the affected area.
  2. Apply a small amount and massage in gently until absorbed.
  3. Use multiple times daily — after water work, after bathing, and before bed for best results.
  4. For heels, apply generously before sleep and cover with cotton socks to lock in moisture overnight.

FAQ

Why is the cream yellow?

The yellow colour comes from Vitamin B2, a water-soluble vitamin used as an ingredient. It does not stain skin or fabric.

Is it safe for daily use on babies?

Yes. The formula is steroid-free and has been used by Japanese families including on babies and young children for generations. Apply a small amount and monitor for any reaction on first use.

Can I use it on my face?

Yuskin is formulated primarily for body use on hands, heels, elbows, and knees. It can be used on the face if your skin tolerates it, but those with facial acne or oily skin should patch test first.

How does Yuskin compare to regular hand cream?

Unlike standard hand creams, Yuskin is classified as a quasi-drug (指定医薬部外品) in Japan, meaning it contains active pharmaceutical ingredients approved to treat — not just moisturise — cracked and chapped skin. It works faster on damaged skin than cosmetic-grade creams.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. This is the Japan-domestic formula sold at Matsumotokiyoshi and other Japanese pharmacies, sourced directly by TokyoShelf. The domestic quasi-drug formula and packaging are not available through Western retail channels.
