Daiichi-Sankyo Minon Amino Moist Charge Cream is the most intensive moisturizing product in the Minon Amino Moist line, developed for sensitive and dry skin that needs not only moisture but also strong protection against moisture loss. The formula is based on the concept of the skin's "moisture reservoir" (Moisture Reservoir Skin) — it hydrates the stratum corneum and strengthens its ability to retain moisture over time.

Key ingredients and their effects:

9 moisturizing amino acids + sodium PCA help replenish the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF), bind and retain water within the stratum corneum, and reduce dehydration, dryness, and tightness. This helps keep the skin softer, more elastic, and less reactive for longer.
A ceramide-like amino acid complex (Lauroyl Glutamate) integrates into damaged areas of the lipid barrier, filling intercellular gaps and reducing transepidermal water loss. This component is key to restoring the skin's protective function and reducing sensitivity to dry air, cold, and temperature fluctuations.
Polyquaternium-61 (a biomimetic liposomal polymer) forms a thin moisture-retaining membrane on the skin's surface, mimicking the structure of cellular lipids. This helps retain moisture longer and keeps the skin protected and comfortable even in cases of severe dryness.
Squalane, jojoba oil, shea butter, macadamia lipids, and beeswax help replenish the skin's own lipid deficit, soften rough areas, eliminate flaking, and make the skin surface smoother and more even. They form a soft protective layer that prevents rapid moisture evaporation without leaving a heavy, greasy feel.
Glyceryl glucoside and sodium hyaluronate enhance moisture saturation at different levels. Glyceryl glucoside stimulates internal water distribution within the epidermis, while hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, making the skin feel plumper, denser, and visually smoother.
Carnosine, glucosyl rutin, and glucosyl hesperidin work as a protective anti-stress complex. They help reduce the effects of oxidative damage caused by UV radiation and environmental pollution, support skin firmness, and prevent increased dryness linked to daily external stress.
Stearyl glycyrrhetinate (a licorice derivative) helps reduce irritation, redness, and discomfort, making the skin less prone to reactions from cold, wind, and active skincare ingredients.

The cream completes the routine by sealing moisture within the stratum corneum and restoring the protective barrier, ensuring long-lasting comfort. The skin becomes softer, smoother, and firmer, with dry roughness and tightness fading away. The face looks fresher, calmer, and more well-groomed, even during periods of significant dehydration.
