Home remedy skin ointment loved for its cost performance
Kip Pyrol is a medicinal skin ointment with a hearty texture made from three different sterilization ingredients and natural herb oils. Apply a small amount to the affected area daily to support the recovery of minor skin problems and small wounds without worrying about white residue. A little goes a long way, and in 2026, the price remains a bargain at approximately ¥600 to ¥700 (excluding tax) for a 15g can.
So, how exactly do all the Kip Pyrol lovers use this ointment ?
Use for those everyday cuts and scrapes that just can’t be avoided
Kip Pyrol is generally used for everyday wounds such as papercuts or scrapes from a fall. If you want a wound to heal faster, apply the ointment before bed and cover it with gauze or a bandage. The sterilizing ingredients permeate the area, supporting recovery for various types of wounds, whether they are dry or prone to suppuration.
Also works for preventing scars from light burns
Minor burns are common risks in the kitchen! When oil spatters while you are cooking and causes a light burn, speed is vital. Apply Kip Pyrol as quickly as possible. Because it has water-repelling properties, the ointment stays strong even if doused with water, protecting and disinfecting the wound while you finish your work. It is also highly recommended for those who accidentally burn their neck or scalp while using a hair iron.
Recommended for fashionable women
For ladies who use hair irons for setting hair, have you ever burned your scalp or neck with a hot iron in the process? For those times, get Kip Pyrol! Apply some to the wound and you won’t have to worry about any distracting white residue left behind by the cream.
Kip Pyrol can be a great partner to those busy ladies who seek to maintain their beauty daily. But what happens when even though you’ve done your nails, cracks are left on your fingertips from dry skin? Or how about when your stockings get caught on the dry skin of your heels? For these kinds of cracks and dry skin, just massage some of the ointment into the affected area and bring back your silky smooth skin!
Kip Pyrol also shows its wonders on limbs and armpits that are victim to razor burn from shaving unnecessary hair. Rub some of the hearty ointment on the affected area to disinfect and care for you skin! Of course, Kip Pyrol also works well for any razor burn men may encounter on their faces.
Our biggest enemy in the hot seasons is the sunburn! Sunburns cause inflammation making our skin extremely sensitive. The first thing to do with sunburns is to cool down the affected area, and then apply a light layer of Kip Pyrol. In case of pain or peeling skin, apply the ointment to a gauze and then put on the affected area.
The cute cans are also super popular on social media!
As a matter of fact, recently Kip Pyrol is all the rage among fashionable girls in Japan! One of the reasons for its popularity is its “cuteness.” You can find the distinctive yellow and red design on the cans of the ointment getting a lot of attention on social media. When you finish all of the ointment, we recommend using the can as an accessory or as a tin to hold various small goods!
Kip Pyrol is a versatile solution for everything from cuts and scrapes to light burns and sunburns. Be sure to check it out as a practical and stylish souvenir during your 2026 trip to Japan!
