Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Azuki no Chikara Reusable Steam Face Pillow – Full Face 3D Fit

The Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Azuki no Chikara Face Steam Pillow is a reusable microwaveable warming pillow designed to gently cover and warm the entire face with natural steam generated from real azuki beans.

Unlike disposable steam masks or electrically powered warming devices, Azuki no Chikara uses the natural moisture contained inside 100% azuki beans. When heated in a microwave, this moisture is released as warm steam, creating a soft and gradually spreading warmth across the face.

The Face Steam version is specially shaped to cover a much larger area than an ordinary eye pillow. Its generous design extends from the forehead and eye area down along the facial contours to the jawline and underneath the chin, allowing the entire face to be surrounded by gentle warmth.

A carefully designed 3D shape helps the pillow follow the natural curves of the face instead of simply lying flat over it. This allows the azuki filling to settle more evenly around the forehead, cheeks, jawline and chin area while the user rests.

The natural weight of the azuki beans also helps the pillow remain comfortably positioned over the face during use.

The product is designed for approximately 10 minutes of relaxation, making it easy to incorporate into an evening routine after work, study, screen time or other activities.

It is especially suited to quiet relaxation before bedtime.

Before use, makeup should be removed so that the warming surface can rest cleanly against the face.

The product is heated in an ordinary household microwave.

Place the pillow flat in the center of a clean microwave with the printed side facing upward, making sure the beans are distributed evenly inside the pillow.

Heat according to the specified microwave power:

• 500W: 40 seconds
• 600W: 30 seconds

Do not use microwave power above 600W.

Automatic heating modes should not be used, and the product should not be heated using grill, oven or other appliance functions.

After heating, place the pillow over the face with the printed side facing downward toward the skin and close the eyes during use.

The recommended usage time is approximately 10 minutes.

A built-in overheating warning indicator helps indicate when the product is still too hot for immediate use.

After microwave heating, if the warning area displays the Japanese word “キケン!” (“Danger”), the pillow should not yet be placed on the face.

Allow it to cool until the warning disappears before using it.

This feature helps reduce the risk of applying the pillow while it is excessively hot.

The Azuki no Chikara Face Steam Pillow can be reused approximately 250 times.

Azuki beans naturally contain moisture. During microwave heating, part of that moisture is released as steam. After the pillow cools, the beans gradually absorb moisture again from the surrounding air.

For this reason, at least four hours must be left between heating sessions.

This resting period allows the beans to recover sufficient moisture before the next use.

When used once per day, approximately 250 uses corresponds to around eight months of use.

Over repeated use, the beans gradually become less capable of retaining enough moisture. Once the product reaches the stated usage limit, it should be replaced even if the fabric still appears intact.

The outer material is made from a combination of polyester and cotton, while the inside contains natural azuki beans.

No batteries, electrical cords or disposable heating elements are required. Once heated in the microwave, the pillow can be used freely while lying down or relaxing.

The pillow is intended only for the face and should not be used on other parts of the body.

It should be used with the eyes closed.

It should not be used on areas with skin abnormalities such as wounds, eczema, burns, irritation or severe sunburn.

The product is not washable and should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place when not in use.

The Azuki no Chikara Face Steam Pillow is a practical choice for anyone looking for a reusable facial warming item that combines natural azuki-bean steam with a large, face-covering design.

Its combination of a 3D facial shape, approximately 10-minute warming time and reusable construction makes it suitable for regular home relaxation without disposable masks or electrical heating devices.
