Description

Acnes Medicated Fluffy Foam Face Wash 160ml is a quasi-drug pump-dispensed foam cleanser for oily and active acne skin — dispensing pre-formed antibacterial foam that deposits IPMP (antibacterial) and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate (anti-inflammatory) directly onto skin without any hand-lathering friction. The pre-formed foam format is specifically designed for skin with active inflamed breakouts where mechanical friction worsens redness and pain.

  • Isopropyl Methylphenol (IPMP) — antibacterial quasi-drug active that kills acne bacteria inside pores
  • Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate — anti-inflammatory quasi-drug active that calms redness and suppresses irritation during cleansing
  • Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C Derivative) — maintains skin hydration and prevents post-acne hyperpigmentation
  • Pre-formed dense foam — dispensed ready-made from pump; no friction required, no rubbing active breakouts
  • Hygienic pump format — no direct hand-to-product contact that could introduce bacteria
  • 160ml — standard pump size; approximately 2–3 months of twice-daily use

How it works: Pre-formed foam eliminates the rubbing phase of cleansing entirely — the foam can be applied with fingertip pressure only and rinsed off without mechanical scrubbing. This matters for active acne where inflamed papules and pustules are painful and easily traumatised. IPMP delivers antibacterial action within the brief contact time; Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate reduces the inflammatory response that makes acne worse between cleansings. The Vitamin C derivative prevents the post-inflammatory marks that acne commonly leaves.

Fluffy Foam vs Acnes Medicated Clear Lotion for active acne: The Medicated Clear Lotion is the post-cleanse wipe-off toner step in the Acnes routine — applied after any Acnes cleanser for an additional antibacterial and AHA layer. The two products are complementary, not alternatives: use Fluffy Foam Wash as the cleanser, follow with Medicated Clear Lotion (or Powder Lotion) as the toner step for a complete medicated Acnes acne routine.

Known in Japan as メンソレータムアクネス 薬用ふわふわな泡洗顔 160ml.

Key Ingredients
  • Isopropyl Methylphenol — antibacterial active that reaches deep into pores to kill acne-causing bacteria
  • Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate — anti-inflammatory that calms redness and suppresses irritation during cleansing
  • Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C Derivative) — moisture-retaining vitamin C form that prevents the skin barrier from drying out
  • Coconut Fatty Acid Amidopropyl Betaine — mild surfactant that creates the dense foam while minimising skin irritation

HOW TO USE
  1. Wet your hands.
  2. Pump 2–3 times directly into palm — foam dispenses fully formed.
  3. Smooth gently over face without rubbing and rinse thoroughly.
  4. Use morning and/or evening.
  5. Pro tip: use this foam in the morning and the Acnes Cream Wash at night for a two-stage routine that balances gentleness with deeper cleansing.

FAQ

Why choose foam over the cream wash?

The foam dispenses pre-formed so there is no friction from lathering — better for inflamed, reactive, or very sensitive acne-prone skin. The cream wash requires manual lathering and gives a slightly deeper clean. Many users use the foam in the morning and the cream wash at night.

Does it contain the same medicated ingredients?

Yes. Both the foam and the cream wash share the same two active ingredients — isopropyl methylphenol and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate — and are both classified as quasi-drug (医薬部外品) formulas.

Is it suitable for daily use, morning and night?

Yes, it is designed for twice-daily use. The low-irritation formula is noncomedogenic-tested and allergy-tested for daily routine use.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. TokyoShelf sources every product directly from Matsumotokiyoshi and other Tokyo drugstores. This is the Japan-domestic formula — not an export or reformulated version — purchased fresh and shipped internationally on order.
