Description

Yuskin Medicated Vitamin Cream 120g is a quasi-drug vitamin cream for severely dry, cracked, and chapped skin on hands, heels, and body — Japan's most recognised treatment cream for cheilosis (lip cracks), cheiropathy (hand cracks), and chilblains for over 60 years. The distinctive yellow colour comes from Vitamin B2 content; the characteristic mild medicinal scent comes from Eucalyptus, Mentha, and Camphor essential oils.

  • Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) — anti-inflammatory active repairing damaged skin and supporting barrier recovery
  • Glycyrrhetinic Acid — reduces redness and soothes inflamed, cracked skin from within
  • Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6) — supports healthy skin cell renewal and barrier protein synthesis
  • Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) — provides the yellow colour; supports skin cell energy metabolism
  • 120g jar — standard Yuskin size for targeted dry-area application

How it works: Severely cracked skin has a compromised barrier allowing external irritants to enter and perpetuate the inflammatory cycle. Standard moisturisers provide surface hydration but do not address this inflammation. Glycyrrhetinic Acid suppresses inflammation directly within the deeper skin layers; Vitamin E supports barrier repair simultaneously; B vitamins provide cellular energy for skin's own repair processes.

120g jar vs 180g pump: The jar is ideal for targeted application to specific dry patches. The pump provides the same formula in a hands-free larger format for family-wide use or daily full-hand application without product contamination.

Known in Japan as ユースキン 120gボトル.

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.
