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.
