Peony & Ashitaba Cream Tube 50g

A Japanese medicated hand cream — KAO Atrix Medicated tube formula has protected Japanese working hands through cold winters and repeated washing. Atrix has been sold in Japan since 1971. 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 its active ingredients help prevent rough, chapped skin. 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.

1. Wash and dry hands completely before application for maximum ingredient absorption.
2. Squeeze a pea-sized amount from the tube onto one fingertip.
3. Warm the cream between both palms for 5 seconds to soften it.
4. Massage thoroughly into the backs of hands, knuckles, and finger joints — areas that crack first.
5. Work remaining cream into nail folds, cuticles, and fingertips; reapply after each hand wash.
