Yu-Be
Yu-Be is a Japanese skin care product that has a legacy of fifty years of proven eczema skin care. In Japan, Yu-Be is number one in its class of skin care products. Internationally, it has gained acclaim as well. Yu-Be is a powerful moisturizer with a host of uses and advantages.
What Is It for?
Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream is a wonder cream for general skin ailments. The particular focus of Yu-Be is for treating eczema, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. The manufacturers also recommend it to treat cracking, itching, diabetes skin complications, radiation and chemotherapy skin tenderness, and relief from cold, wind, and heat. It is an all-purpose, high-strength moisturizing lotion, and is also used as a massage lotion.
What’s in It?
Yu-Be is a glycerin-based cream. Other active ingredients of the cream are Vitamin E, Vitamin B2 and camphor. The humectant properties of glycerin help the skin to retain its natural moisture, while the vitamin additives improve the skin’s health and ability to heal. The camphor in Yu-Be works to combat inflammation and bacterial infection.
Advantages
- Yu-Be comes in a variety of forms. The company offers facial scrub, a pump-style body lotion, moisturizing formula in a tube, and the classic Yu-Be tub container. Yu-Be is also available in a lip balm stick.
- Another advantage of Yu-Be is that is it a multipurpose moisturizer, not just an eczema treatment. Yu-Be helps treat anything from chapped lips to diabetes skin discomfort, thus making it very versatile. It’s helpful to have on hand at anytime.
- Yu-Be’s 40% glycerin base gives it a special quality that few moisturizers have. While other moisturizers use high alcohol, lanolin, or water content, Yu-Be’s glycerin base helps the skin to quickly absorb it and retains the skin’s natural moisture far better than most skincare products.
- The fact that Yu-Be’s formula has been unchanged for fifty years is a testament to the durability of the product and the satisfaction of its clientele.
Disadvantages
- Due to the fact that Yu-Be is an imported product, the cost is high when compared with over OTC moisturizing creams.
- Some users have complained about Yu-Be’s odor. It’s true that Yu-Be is not a fragrance lotion, which may explain why it has a bit of the medicinal whiff about it.
- Because Yu-Be is a moisturizing barrier cream, it may not produce results as quickly as other medicines will. While moisturizing is the number one method of treating eczema, some forms of eczema require more focused efforts.
How to Use It
Yu-Be is like any other moisturizing cream or lotion. It is applied directly to the skin and gently rubbed in.
