Tsujimoto Market: Our Guarantees
Description
Shiseido IHADA Medicated Balm 20g is a quasi-drug barrier balm built for dry, reactive, sensitive skin. Centred on ultra-pure petrolatum, it melts into the skin to seal in moisture and rebuild a protective barrier — without a sticky or heavy feel.
The low-irritation design is fragrance-free, colour-free, alcohol-free and paraben-free. It's the daytime partner to IHADA's Medicated Night Pack for round-the-clock sensitive-skin care.

FAQ
Q: Is this the same as the IHADA Night Pack?
A: No — the Night Pack is a richer overnight mask, while this Balm is a lighter daytime barrier balm. Together they cover day-and-night sensitive-skin care.
Q: Is it really fragrance- and alcohol-free?
A: Yes. IHADA's low-irritation design omits fragrance, colouring, alcohol (ethanol) and paraben, which is why it's popular for reactive skin.
Q: Can I wear it under sunscreen and makeup?
A: Yes. Use a small amount and let it settle. It forms a smooth barrier that sits comfortably under SPF and base makeup.
