Biore Skin Care Medicated Facial Wash Acne Care 130g

Bioré Skin Care Medicated Facial Wash Acne Care is a medicated cream-to-foam facial wash by Kao — formulated with two certified active ingredients to sterilise acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation, while Kao’s SPT (Skin Purifying Technology) cleanses thoroughly without stripping moisture. Non-comedogenic tested. Contains Fragrance. Acne-prone, oily, and combination skin. Made in Japan.

Isopropylmethylphenol (IPMP) is the formula’s primary medicated active — a potent broad-spectrum phenol-derived antiseptic and bactericide with clinically proven activity against Cutibacterium acnes (the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne lesions) and Staphylococcus epidermidis. IPMP penetrates sebaceous follicle walls to exert direct antibacterial action at the pore level, reducing active bacterial populations and preventing new breakout formation. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate is the formula’s second medicated active — a potassium salt of glycyrrhizin extracted from Glycyrrhiza (licorice) root, with certified anti-inflammatory efficacy that reduces the inflammatory cascade triggered by acne lesions, calms redness, and helps existing blemishes heal faster with less post-inflammatory erythema. Kao SPT (Skin Purifying Technology) ensures the surfactant actives float dirt and excess sebum to the surface of the skin for removal without penetrating or disrupting the skin barrier. Sorbitol provides humectant moisture retention to prevent dryness during treatment cleansing. The mild surfactant system — Lauryl Hydroxysultaine, Polyoxyethylene Lauryl Ether Acetic Acid, Myristic Acid, and Lauric Acid — generates a fine, non-stripping foam. Polyquaternium-39 deposits on skin post-rinse for a smooth, conditioned post-wash feel. Ethylhexylglycerin contributes additional antimicrobial preservation support.
