Birchbox Breakdown

Professional Japanese mountain climbers use this all-over moisturizer to keep their skin protected when they’re scaling Mount Everest, so you know there must be something special about it. Invented by a pharmacist back in the 1950’s, Yu-Be has been Japan’s top-selling skin cream for over fifty years. Great for head-to-toe hydration, it helps with all forms of stubborn dryness, including flaky red skin, chapped lips, and callused feet. The natural formula is free of ingredients like artificial dyes, fragrances, and petrolatum. It’s so gentle that even infants and kids can safely use it.

How it Works

A dose of soothing camphor gives this light yellow cream its faint herbal scent, which fades quickly upon contact with your skin. High concentrations of glycerin and sodium hyaluronate seal in moisture and protect skin from the elements. Finally, vitamins B, C, and E infuse skin with antioxidants and boost firmness. The thick, creamy consistency makes this an ideal hand cream, foot cream, lip balm, and facial moisturizer—or you can use it to soften rough elbows and knees. You’ll be amazed by how quickly it absorbs into your skin without leaving a greasy feeling behind.

How to Use

Smooth a thin layer onto any dry patches, and massage into your skin until the cream disappears.

Really the best stuff on earth

I use this on every part of my body for just about any ailment! Also got their body scrub and its fab too.

I'm in love

I really like how light the texture of this skin cream is. The cream keeps you moisturized without the greasy feeling you get from other lotions. I think the one thing that is surprising is the camphor smell, but it goes away pretty quickly. It's great for the hands and feet. I think this 1.25 oz size is nice and convenient. I'd be willing to buy a larger bottle of this skin.

Incredibly effective

This worked really well on my cracked heels and even helped to smooth out some bumpy patches near my elbows. The sample was really tiny though - just one use and it was all gone!

Nice

Love that there are so many different uses for this product. Use it mostly for chapped lips. Definitely worth trying!

Love everything, except the scent.

I suffer from extremely dry skin in the winter time, especially on my hands. I got this as a sample & loved it so much I bought it full size. I don't love the scent it has, but I love that it is a natural formula, how quickly it absorbs into my skin & how great my skin feels after.

great balm

I use it on my lips more than anything but this is also great for dry rough patches and also cuticles too. I have several tubes so I never run out.

Loved this!

I loved the scent--it smelled healthy and clean. I just wanted a night cream for my very dry face and have been impressed that while this mosturizes well, it doesn't make my face break out. Would recommend this highly.

Rich hand cream

This rich hand cream really helped my dry winter skin, I just wish the tube was a little larger.

Multi use product

I used this product on some bug bites I had and saw them go down overnight. I also used them on my lips and 3 month old's dry eyebrows. My only complaint is the price but I would purchase it again.

Use it on your nails

Living in Colorado in the winter is brutal on your hands. Yu-be is great for cracked hands and fingers. I also use it on my face at night and on my spots of eczema, works wonders.
