For dry skin accompanied by itching
Medication for Dry Skin
<Persistent and Recurrent Itching in Dry Skin>
In dry skin where the barrier function has been compromised due to dryness, even slight stimuli such as temperature changes from heating or bathing, or contact with clothing, can easily cause itching.
Furthermore, scratching worsens the symptoms, leading to a vicious cycle where once itching occurs, it does not stop and recurs repeatedly.
<Rapidly Suppresses Itching at Its Source and Improves Skin to Prevent Recurrence>
Keratinamin Kowa Lotion 20 contains the antipruritic ingredient diphenhydramine hydrochloride, which quickly relieves itching, and the anti-inflammatory component glycyrrhetinic acid, which calms inflammation and suppresses the source of itching.
Additionally, the moisturizing ingredient urea attracts moisture from within the body to keep the skin hydrated, and the skin-protective veil (base component) gently envelops the skin surface.
By moisturizing while suppressing itching, it helps improve the skin to prevent recurrent itching.
