Biore The Face Foam Face Wash Acne Care — quasi-drug face wash with medicated actives that fight acne-causing bacteria while cleansing skin gently with rich foam.
About this product
Biore The Face Foam Face Wash Acne Care is a quasi-drug formulation containing regulated actives approved to prevent and reduce acne. The formula combines medicated anti-bacterial actives with the line's signature ultra-dense foam technology to unclog pores, reduce excess sebum, and inhibit acne-causing bacteria — without the harshness of traditional acne washes. Ideal for acne-prone skin in humid climates, it provides therapeutic cleansing without compromising the skin barrier.
Popular among Filipino and Japanese consumers seeking an effective, pharmacy-trusted acne routine anchor, this product delivers clinical-grade action in a gentle, everyday format.
How to use
- Wet face with lukewarm water to soften pores and prepare skin for medicated cleansing.
- Pump 2–3 times onto wet palms — pre-formed foam is ready to apply.
- Apply to face avoiding eye and lip area; massage gently for 45–60 seconds focusing on breakout zones (forehead, nose, chin).
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm then cool water — the cool rinse helps close pores post-cleanse.
- Follow with an oil-free, non-comedogenic toner and moisturizer to support the acne-control routine.
- Note: For persistent or severe acne, consult a dermatologist.
Ingredients
- Isopropylmethylphenol (IPMP) — quasi-drug antibacterial active that kills Cutibacterium acnes (acne-causing bacteria) on skin surface
- Salicylic Acid — quasi-drug keratolytic that softens and dissolves the plugs blocking pores, preventing comedone formation
- Glycerin — humectant that compensates for the drying effect of medicated actives, maintaining skin moisture balance
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate — mild surfactant that produces dense foam without disrupting the acid mantle
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate — anti-inflammatory active that calms redness and irritation associated with active acne
- Allantoin — soothing agent that accelerates surface skin repair around inflamed breakout sites
FAQ
What does quasi-drug mean for this product?
It means the formula contains regulated medicinal actives (IPMP + salicylic acid) approved by Japan's MHLW at defined concentrations to prevent acne — stronger than cosmetics but not a prescription drug.
Can I use this if I'm already on prescription acne medication?
Consult your dermatologist. Using multiple acne actives simultaneously may cause over-drying or irritation.
How quickly will I see results?
With consistent twice-daily use, most users notice fewer new breakouts within 2–4 weeks. Existing acne will not disappear overnight.
Is this safe for ages under 16?
Quasi-drug products should be used by individuals 12 and above as directed. For younger children, consult a pharmacist or dermatologist.
Can I use a scrub brush with this foam?
Not recommended — the foam's active ingredients already do the deep work. Mechanical scrubbing on acne-inflamed skin increases irritation risk.
🇵🇭 For Philippines customers
Acne is among the most searched skin concerns in the Philippines — driven by tropical humidity, sweat, pollution, and the high-sugar components of local diets — making medicated acne solutions far more relevant here than in temperate markets. Biore The Face Acne Care is a quasi-drug formulation containing regulated antibacterial actives approved under Japan's Ministry of Health standards to prevent and reduce acne, combined with the line's ultra-dense foam technology for gentle daily use.
Unlike harsh salicylic acid cleansers that over-dry tropical skin and trigger rebound oiliness, this formula unclogs pores and inhibits acne-causing bacteria without compromising the moisture barrier — a critical balance for Filipino skin that sweats heavily and needs cleansing up to twice daily.
