Japanese quasi-drug medicated soap with salicylic acid, triclosan, and charcoal — clinically formulated to treat and prevent back acne in hot, humid tropical climates.
About this product
"Back-ne" — acne mechanica on the back, shoulders, and upper arms — is a body-confidence issue that disproportionately affects Filipino men and women in the Philippines' year-round 30°C+ heat, 80%+ humidity, and densely-packed urban commuting environment. Sweat, sebum, and friction from backpacks, bra straps, and t-shirts compress the pores along the back and shoulders, creating the precise conditions for body-acne vulgaris that Philippine pharmacy body washes rarely address effectively. PELICAN's ForBack 薬用石鹸 is a certified quasi-drug medicated soap from PELICAN SOAP, the Tokyo heritage body-care specialist, formulated with triclosan, salicylic acid, and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate to actively treat bacne at the root cause, with charcoal and sulfur to absorb excess sebum. Certified under Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare quasi-drug standard — a regulatory bar above ordinary cosmetics. The 135g size is sized for full back-and-shoulder coverage during a 4–6 week treatment course.
How to use
- Wet the body thoroughly in the shower.
- Lather the medicated soap in your hands or on a back-loofah until rich foam forms.
- Apply the foam to the back, shoulders, and chest — the most common bacne zones — and massage gently for 60–90 seconds.
- Leave the lather on for 1–2 minutes to allow the salicylic acid and antibacterial actives to act inside the pores.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water; use daily, ideally in the evening shower, for at least 4 weeks.
Ingredients
- Triclosan — antibacterial active targeting acne-causing bacteria on the back and body.
- Salicylic Acid — beta-hydroxy acid that exfoliates inside the pore to prevent clogged-pore breakouts.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate — anti-inflammatory active, calms redness from active bacne lesions.
- Soap Base (Sodium Palmate / Sodium Palm Kernelate) — plant-derived cleansing base.
FAQ
Is this soap a quasi-drug?
Yes — certified under Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare quasi-drug standard, with declared active pharmaceutical ingredients.
How long until I see results on back acne?
Most users see reduced inflammation within 2 weeks; visible clearing of bacne typically requires 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use.
Can I use this on the face?
Not recommended for facial acne — the formulation strength is designed for thicker back and body skin; use a dedicated facial cleanser.
Does it dry out the back skin?
The formula includes glycerin to offset dryness, but if the back skin feels tight, follow with a body moisturiser after showering.
Is the soap safe for teenagers?
Yes — the active concentration is suitable for teenage bacne; parents of younger children should consult a dermatologist first.
🇵🇭 For Philippines customers
Bacne — acne mechanica on the back, shoulders, and chest — is a near-universal concern among Filipino men and women in Metro Manila, Cebu, and provincial cities, where 80%+ humidity, daily traffic commuting, and tight t-shirts create a hotbed of friction-induced body acne that ordinary Philippine pharmacy body washes cannot treat.
PELICAN ForBack 薬用石鹸 is a Japanese quasi-drug medicated soap — certified under Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare — with salicylic acid, triclosan, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, and charcoal to actively treat bacne at the root cause, not just cleanse the surface.
