FAQ

We always recommend testing it on a small area of skin first, but we will let our customer reviews speak for themselves. Customers with skin issues from sensitive skin, rosacea, or eczema, through to those suffering with peri-menopausal skin changes have reviewed our Original cream and find it supports their skin’s natural barrier function, without being reactive.

This was the first cream ever launched by Steamcream, and in the UK it was the ONLY product we sold for over 12 years. It has now sold over 10 million tins worldwide and is available in our iconic silver tin, or in a variety of Limited Edition designs that change monthly. It is handmade in Japan using Pure Steam and it suitable for all skin types, all year round.

Every Steamcream Box
Tells A Story

Our paper packaging is made entirely from Colorful Wish®, a special recycled paper created from thousands of origami cranes offered in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Each crane is folded by someone, somewhere, wishing for peace.

If you look closely inside the box, you’ll see tiny flecks of color in the paper — those are real pieces of the cranes themselves, still visible in the fibers. Each one carries a part of someone’s heartfelt wish.

Love the cream BUT

"I have been using this and buying gifts for over a decade. Not full 5 stars because the beautiful tin designs were why I was buying for people (and myself) still use the jars to this day. Also the large bottles are not available either so not sure if I will look elsewhere next time. For me I need value in a big bottle and for gifts I want the designs. So a bit of a miss after the recent changes on both counts. Sorry."

Best face cream, my wife loves it

"We started buying Steam Cream, on our trips to Japan, many years ago. My wife was hooked on it from our japanese daugter inlaw. She and her mom loved it, as does my wife."

— Robert G. (5/5)

My favourite

"I have used and liked this cream for a long time. It stands out from all the others. Pity it has become so expensive."

— Gillian F. (5/5)

Steam cream is dream cream

Disapointed

"I have used Steamcream for years now, latterly out of the "pump bottle". am very disapponted that I cannot buy the latter as a "stand-alone" product and will have to rethink my future purchases."

— Jennifer K. (4/5)

"It works well! I think the container is a miss tho! Its very loose cream and spills easily! Concept is cute but better packaging would help!"

— Carolyn (5/5)

A single cream in the bathroom

"I have been using this cream for probably nearly 15 years. I love it and I got concerned when they run out of it I think last autumn. Of course I have been very surprise by the huge increase in price, but in the"creams" market, it is still affordable. Like anybody else, I missed the decorated tins, but as I kept some spare ones, I just transpose to one of them. I have no other cream than this one at home, I can use it for hands, face and body. When I travel it becomes also my make-up remover and after sun cream. So versatile, light and easily absorbed, has a subtle natural beautiful smell. I would be desperate if this was no longer available."

— SANDRINE A. (5/5)

Super cream

"Have used this cream for years and wouldn't use anything else. Skin is soft."
