Biore Marshmallow Whip Face Wash Acne Care

Japan's most satisfying acne face wash — KAO Biore Marshmallow Whip Acne Care combines the iconic pre-formed ultra-dense foam pump technology of the Marshmallow Whip range with certified quasi-drug acne-control actives, creating an acne face wash that is both effective and genuinely pleasurable to use. The dense, pillowy foam acts as a soft buffer that prevents finger friction against acne-sensitised skin during cleansing, while the quasi-drug formula delivers salicylic acid and antimicrobial compounds into pores with every wash. The Acne Care variant maintains the moisture-preserving quality of the broader Marshmallow Whip range, avoiding the stripping dryness that makes many acne cleansers counterproductive over time. For Japanese consumers who are managing active breakouts but want a cleanser experience that feels luxurious rather than medicinal, Marshmallow Whip Acne Care has become one of the most repurchased products in the category. The foam is distinctively blue-green, differentiating it visually from the white Moisture variant.

1. Wet the face with warm water.
2. Press the pump once to dispense a large cloud of acne-care foam directly onto the palm.
3. Apply the foam to the face with very light circular motions — the foam does the work; no pressing or scrubbing.
4. Allow the foam to sit on skin for 10–15 seconds before rinsing for maximum quasi-drug active contact time.
5. Rinse thoroughly with cool water; follow with a non-comedogenic toner and lightweight moisturiser.
