For over 150 years, Shiseido has pioneered Japanese skincare science. The Ihada line was specifically developed for modern, sensitive skin—skin that faces constant stress from pollution, climate changes, and daily life. This Medicated High Moisture Face Lotion was created to deliver deep, barrier-strengthening hydration without irritation. Its formula centers on a high concentration of Hyaluronic Acid and a patented blend of Japanese herbal extracts, selected for their gentle, time-tested efficacy. Every batch is produced in Shiseido's own GMP-certified facilities in Japan, adhering to strict pharmaceutical-grade standards. It's not just a lotion; it's a medicated skin treatment officially approved by Japanese regulatory authorities. Consistently ranked as a top-selling sensitive skin lotion in Japan, it's the trusted choice for those who want serious care without compromise.

Shiseido Ihada Medicated High Moisture Face Lotion is formulated with a carefully curated blend of ingredients designed to hydrate and soothe sensitive skin. Key components include glycerin and butylene glycol, which act as humectants to attract and retain moisture, ensuring long-lasting hydration. The lotion features dipotassium glycyrrhizate, derived from licorice root, which provides anti-inflammatory and soothing properties to calm irritation and redness. Additionally, it contains allantoin, known for its skin-conditioning and healing effects, promoting cell regeneration and enhancing skin barrier function. Hyaluronic acid is included to deeply moisturize and plump the skin by binding water molecules, improving elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines. The formulation also incorporates tocopherol (vitamin E), an antioxidant that protects against environmental stressors and supports skin health. These ingredients work synergistically to deliver intense moisture, strengthen the skin's natural defenses, and provide a calming effect, making it ideal for sensitive skin types seeking hydration without irritation.
