Skin Life Medicated Acne Care Face Wash 130g

The Skin Life Medicated Acne Care Face Wash is a Japanese quasi-drug (医薬部外品) cleansing foam from Cow Brand — one of Japan’s most trusted skincare manufacturers since 1909. Formulated specifically for acne-prone and oily skin, this medicated face wash goes beyond ordinary cleansing to actively combat acne-causing bacteria, reduce pore-clogging sebum, and maintain skin hydration, leaving skin clean, smooth, and refreshed with every wash.

Two clinically recognised medicated active ingredients anchor the formula. Isopropyl Methylphenol is a powerful antibacterial agent widely used in Japanese medicated skincare — it penetrates deep into the pores to sterilise Cutibacterium acnes (acne-causing bacteria) at the source, helping to prevent new breakouts from forming. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (2K Glycyrrhizinate), derived from licorice root, is a potent anti-inflammatory active that calms existing redness, reduces irritation around blemishes, and supports the skin’s recovery process.

The cleansing base is a soap-type lather system built from a blend of fatty acids — Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, Stearic Acid, and Behenic Acid — saponified with Potassium Hydroxide to produce a rich, creamy foam that lifts excess sebum, surface impurities, and residual debris without over-stripping the skin. Potassium Cocoyl Methyltaurate, a gentle amino acid-derived surfactant, enhances the lather while softening the cleansing action for added mildness.
