Quasi-drug Biore acne care face wash — salicylic acid formula for breakout-prone skin.
About this product
Japan's most trusted acne face wash — KAO Biore Skincare Face Wash Medicated Acne Care is a certified quasi-drug face wash formulated specifically for acne-prone skin, combining active pharmaceutical ingredients that address the root causes of breakouts — excess sebum, clogged pores, and bacterial proliferation — within a daily cleansing formula. Unlike basic face washes that simply clean the skin's surface, the quasi-drug formula delivers active anti-acne compounds into the pore during cleansing, providing a preventive therapeutic effect with every wash. The formula simultaneously maintains skin conditioning with humectants, preventing the dryness-driven sebum overproduction cycle that makes harsh acne cleansers counterproductive. Biore Acne Care is Japan's pharmacy go-to for everyday acne management, recommended by Japanese pharmacists as the first step in a simple breakout-control routine before considering prescription treatments. Certified as a quasi-drug under Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

- Wet the face with warm water.
- Squeeze a 2–3cm strip onto wet palms and lather thoroughly before applying to the face.

- Rinse completely with cool water; do not leave any residue on the skin.
- Pat dry and follow with a non-comedogenic toner and moisturiser; use twice daily for consistent acne-control effect.

FAQ
Does this treat existing pimples or prevent new ones?
Both — salicylic acid treats existing blocked pores and prevents new ones; antibacterial active reduces bacterial cause of acne.
Is it suitable for severe cystic acne?
For mild-to-moderate acne; severe or cystic acne should be assessed by a dermatologist.
Can I use AHA/BHA toner after this?
The salicylic acid in this cleanser provides some BHA-type activity; consult your skin tolerance before stacking additional exfoliants.
Is it safe for teenagers?
Yes — one of the most common pharmacy recommendations for teenage breakouts in Japan.
Does it dry out the skin?
Less drying than many Western acne cleansers due to included humectants; some dryness possible at higher usage frequency — reduce to once daily if dryness occurs.

Hormonal acne is one of the most common skin complaints among Filipino women aged 20–35 — worsened by humid heat, pollution from Metro Manila traffic, and dietary patterns — and over-the-counter acne face washes in Philippine pharmacies rarely carry certified pharmaceutical-grade actives.
