Product Information

〔What are hives?〕
Hives (urticaria) are triggered by various stimuli and factors such as fatigue, stress, temperature changes, and tight clothing, and distressing itching accompanied by swelling and redness spreads.
You feel itching on your skin, and scratching spreads the itch. Just when you thought you were tired, your skin somehow started to itch. When you get into bed at night, you cannot sleep because of swelling and itching.

Some kind of stimulus causes mast cells to release histamine and other substances, resulting in unbearable itching, swelling
and redness.

〔Jinmart takes a multi-faceted approach to swollen, itchy hives!〕

2. Cooling, astringent, and anti-inflammatory actions soothe red, swollen skin with a cool sensation.
