History
The exact founding date of Zudaifu is not publicly documented. The brand promotes itself as a manufacturer of herbal skincare products inspired by traditional Chinese herbal medicine. More recent official marketing identifies the products as being produced by Taizhou Youpeng Import & Export Co., Ltd., while older product listings emphasize the “Miaojia” (Miao ethnic herbal) identity. Public documentation about the company’s corporate history remains limited. [2]
The brand has expanded beyond its signature ointment into soaps, shampoos, laundry products, and other personal-care items.

Reputation
Zudaifu has become popular primarily through:
-
Online marketplaces
-
TikTok recommendations
-
Facebook sellers
-
Word-of-mouth
-
Reviews from users with chronic itchy skin
Many users report temporary relief from itching and inflammation, particularly for eczema-like rashes or fungal infections. However, experiences vary considerably, and online testimonials are not a substitute for clinical evidence. [6]
Regulatory Concerns
One reason Zudaifu has attracted attention is that several health authorities and dermatologists have raised concerns about certain versions of the product.
Some independently tested samples sold internationally have reportedly contained undeclared corticosteroids or other active pharmaceutical ingredients that were not listed on the packaging. Because formulations can differ between manufacturers and counterfeit versions also exist, the composition of products sold under the Zudaifu name may not be consistent. [7]
Potential risks of prolonged unsupervised use of potent topical steroids include:
-
Skin thinning (atrophy)
-
Stretch marks
-
Steroid acne
-
Perioral dermatitis
-
Rebound flares after discontinuation
-
Masking of underlying infections
For these reasons, dermatologists generally recommend using products with clearly declared ingredients and consulting a healthcare professional for persistent skin diseases.
Counterfeit Products
Because of the brand’s popularity, counterfeit or imitation products are common.
The official website states that genuine products may include:
-
Anti-counterfeit QR codes
-
Verification numbers
-
Product authentication instructions
The company encourages buyers to verify authenticity using the code on the packaging. [8]
Availability in the Philippines
In the Philippines, Zudaifu is commonly available through:
-
Lazada
-
Shopee
-
TikTok Shop
-
Independent online resellers
It is usually marketed under the Health or Personal Care categories and is often sold as an imported product rather than through major pharmacy chains.
Medical Evidence
Although the product has many anecdotal reviews online, there is limited high-quality published clinical research evaluating Zudaifu itself for conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Most available information comes from manufacturer marketing, reseller descriptions, and user testimonials rather than peer-reviewed clinical trials. [9]

Summary
Zudaifu is a Chinese herbal skincare brand best known for its pink topical cream marketed for itchy and inflammatory skin conditions. It has gained widespread popularity through online marketplaces, including Lazada Philippines, where it is sold as an imported health or personal-care product. While many users report symptom relief, the brand has also been the subject of regulatory and dermatological concerns because some tested products in international markets have reportedly contained undeclared pharmaceutical ingredients. As with any medicated topical product, persistent or severe skin conditions are best evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional, and products with transparent ingredient labeling are generally preferred.
