Who Is This For?
Recommended for anyone with dry, rough skin on the hands, heels, elbows or knees — especially if you frequently wash dishes, work outdoors, or live in dry, windy or cold climates. The cream is also gentle enough to use on the face. People who dislike camphor scent, or who react to lanolin or fragrance, should patch-test before regular use.
How to Use
- Take a small amount onto a fingertip.
- Massage gently into clean skin on hands, heels, elbows, knees, body or face as needed.
- Reapply after washing hands or whenever skin feels dry.
Frequency: as needed throughout the day, and as a richer layer at night.
Cautions
- For external use only.
- Do not apply to broken skin, weeping eczema, deep wounds or burns. Consult a doctor for those.
- Discontinue use if redness, swelling, itching or any irritation appears, and consult a dermatologist.
- Patch-test on the inner forearm before first use if you have sensitive skin or known reactions to fragrance, vitamin C derivatives or camphor.
- Avoid contact with eyes; if it occurs, rinse with lukewarm water.
- Keep out of reach of children. Store away from direct sunlight and high heat.

FAQ
Q: What does "medical cream" mean here? Is it a medicine?
A: In Japan, "medical cream" (薬用クリーム) usually refers to a quasi-drug (医薬部外品) — a category between cosmetic and pharmaceutical, regulated for active ingredients. It supports rough, dry skin care, but it's not a treatment for medical conditions. For inflamed wounds, eczema or persistent skin problems, please consult a doctor.
Q: Can I really use it on my face?
A: Yes — the formula is gentle enough for facial use. Apply a thin layer and patch-test first if you have sensitive skin. Avoid the eye area and any active blemishes.
Q: Will the camphor smell bother me?
A: The cream has a light camphor scent on application that usually fades within about a minute. People who dislike medicinal scents may want to apply it before bed.
Q: Is this the Japan-domestic version, or a re-import?
A: It is the Japan-domestic version, shipped directly from our shop in Kobe. We never sell grey-market or repackaged inventory.
Q: How long does shipping from Japan take?
A: We typically dispatch within 2–6 business days. Transit time after dispatch depends on destination and the shipping method chosen at checkout — full tracking is provided in either case.
