About this product
"Back-ne" — acne mechanica on the back, shoulders, and upper arms — is a body-confidence issue that disproportionately affects men and women in 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 drugstore 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 soap in your hands or on a back-loofah until rich foam forms.
- Apply the foam to the back, shoulders, and chest, gently stroking rather than scrubbing.
- Leave the lather on for about 30 seconds.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then pat dry gently with a towel.

FAQ
Can I use this on the face?
Not recommended — the formulation is designed for 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.
🇺🇸 For US customers
US shoppers discovering Japanese beauty find that the texture, feel, and finish are genuinely different from what they're used to at Target or the local drugstore. The back is easy to overlook in a skincare routine, yet it produces about as much sebum as the face — a body-confidence issue for many American men and women in the United States' year-round 30°C+ heat, 80%+ humidity, and densely-packed urban commuting environment. Sweat, sebum, and friction from backpacks, bra straps, and t-shirts build up along the back and shoulders, an area ordinary body washes rarely focus on. PELICAN's ForBack soap is a 135g body soap from PELICAN SOAP, the Tokyo heritage body-care specialist, made for washing the back: charcoal, bentonite and kaolin clays, and papain enzyme help lift away pore dirt and old dead skin, while yuzu ceramide and collagen help keep skin moisturized as you wash. Free of petroleum-based cleansing agents, with a fresh herbal citrus scent. Key ingredients: charcoal.
