Quasi-drug Atrix medicated hand cream tube — intensive repair for dry, cracked hands.
About this product
Japan's most trusted medicated hand cream — KAO Atrix Medicated tube formula has protected Japanese working hands through cold winters and repeated washing since the Atrix line launched in the 1960s. As a certified quasi-drug product, this tube contains active pharmaceutical ingredients that go beyond cosmetic moisturising to actively treat rough, chapped, and cracked skin. The dense, non-watery cream creates a sustained occlusive barrier that locks moisture in while active ingredients accelerate the skin's repair cycle. The tube format makes it easy to dispense a precise amount with one hand — a practical choice for kitchen workers, nurses, and anyone whose hands are in water repeatedly throughout the day. The fragrance is minimal and fades quickly, making it workplace-friendly. A staple in Japanese medicine cabinets, trusted by dermatologists and pharmacists alike.
How to use
- Wash and dry hands completely before application for maximum ingredient absorption.
- Squeeze a pea-sized amount from the tube onto one fingertip.
- Warm the cream between both palms for 5 seconds to soften it.
- Massage thoroughly into the backs of hands, knuckles, and finger joints — areas that crack first.
- Work remaining cream into nail folds, cuticles, and fingertips; reapply after each hand wash.

FAQ
Is this different from regular (non-medicated) Atrix?
Yes — the quasi-drug version contains active pharmaceutical ingredients; stronger therapeutic effect for cracked or severely dry skin.
Can it be used on the face?
Not recommended — formulated specifically for hands; the occlusive base may clog facial pores.
How often can I apply it?
Apply after every hand wash — no upper limit for hand use.
Does it leave a greasy residue?
Slight residue for 1–2 minutes; absorbs fully within 3–5 minutes.
Safe during pregnancy?
External hand use is generally considered safe; consult a physician if concerned about specific actives.
