Quasi-drug Atrix medicated hand cream in a classic jar — deep repair for severely dry 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.
- Scoop a small amount (pea-sized) from the jar using a clean fingertip or spatula to maintain hygiene.
- Warm between palms before applying to maximise spreadability.
- Massage into backs of hands, knuckles, cuticles, and any cracked areas with firm circular motions.
- Use as an overnight treatment by applying a generous layer at bedtime and sleeping with light cotton gloves if available.

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.
