FAQ
What does 'medicated' mean here?
In Japan this product is registered as a quasi-drug ("iyakubugai-hin") containing stearyl glycyrrhetinate, a recognized skin-conditioning active; it is a cosmetic-grade product, not a medical treatment.
Is it suitable for very dry or reactive skin?
Yes, it was developed specifically for low-barrier, sensitive, dryness-prone skin.
Is it fragrance-heavy?
It is formulated with a gentle profile suited to sensitive skin; check the full ingredient list if you are fragrance-sensitive.
🇵🇭 For Philippines customers
Air-conditioned offices and tropical humidity swings can leave sensitive skin feeling reactive and parched. DUO The Medicated Cleansing Balm Barrier gently melts away makeup and daily grime while its rice bran oil and herbal blend help keep easily-irritated skin feeling comfortable and cared for — never treating or medicating, just gentle daily conditioning.
