Description

Acnes Medicated Powder Lotion 180ml is a quasi-drug wipe-off toner for oily and very oily acne-prone skin — providing the same antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicated actives as the Acnes Clear Lotion with the addition of Zinc Oxide micro-powder that deposits on the skin after application and absorbs sebum throughout the day, maintaining a matte finish without a separate mattifying product.

  • Isopropyl Methylphenol (IPMP) — antibacterial quasi-drug active targeting C. acnes within pores
  • Epsilon-Aminocaproic Acid — anti-inflammatory active that suppresses the inflammatory response around breakouts more specifically than Glycyrrhizinate
  • Zinc Oxide (Oil-Absorbing Powder) — micro-powder that adheres to skin after application, continuously absorbing sebum throughout the day to prevent the midday shine and congestion that trigger new breakouts
  • Vitamin C Derivative — antioxidant hydration without adding oiliness
  • Shake before use — the Zinc Oxide settles and must be redistributed before each application
  • 180ml — shake-before-use bottle; approximately 2–3 months of twice-daily use

How it works: Zinc Oxide is amphiphilic — it attracts and binds oil molecules. When deposited on skin via the toner, it creates a continuous oil-absorption layer that reduces the amount of sebum available to mix with dead skin cells and re-congest pores. This is a preventive action that extends beyond the antibacterial protection of IPMP — addressing the sebum supply side of acne formation throughout the day rather than only at the time of application.

Powder Lotion vs Clear Lotion — which to choose: Choose the Powder Lotion if your primary concern is excess oil and midday shine alongside acne, or if you want to skip a separate mattifying step after skincare. Choose the Clear Lotion if oiliness is moderate and you want a cleaner, simpler toner texture without the shake-before-use requirement. Both provide equivalent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory protection.

Known in Japan as メンソレータムアクネス 薬用パウダー化粧水 180ml.

Key Ingredients
  • Isopropyl Methylphenol — antibacterial active that kills acne-causing bacteria deep inside pores
  • Epsilon-Aminocaproic Acid — anti-inflammatory active that suppresses redness and calms irritation around breakouts
  • Zinc Oxide (Oil-Absorbing Powder) — micro-powder that adheres to skin and absorbs excess sebum, creating a lasting matte finish
  • Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C Derivative) — moisture-maintaining vitamin C form that keeps skin hydrated without adding oil
  • Aloe Extract + Menthol — soothing botanical pairing that calms post-cleanse skin and delivers a light refreshing sensation

HOW TO USE
  1. Shake the bottle well before each use to disperse the powder.
  2. After cleansing, pour an appropriate amount onto a cotton pad.
  3. Wipe gently across the face, or press into skin with palms for a hydrating application.
  4. Use morning and evening as your toner step.
  5. Pro tip: shake the bottle every time without fail — the powder sinks to the bottom quickly, and unshaken application misses the key oil-control benefit.

FAQ

How is this different from the Acnes Clear Lotion?

The Powder Lotion is designed primarily for sebum control — the zinc oxide powder absorbs oil and creates a matte finish. The Clear Lotion is designed for pore-clearing through AHA exfoliation. Different actives, different results. Many users use the Clear Lotion at night for exfoliation and the Powder Lotion in the morning for oil control.

Why do I need to shake it before use?

The oil-absorbing powder (zinc oxide) is suspended in liquid and settles to the bottom of the bottle quickly. Without shaking, you apply liquid only — and miss the key mattifying benefit entirely. Shake well every single time.

Is it suitable for combination skin?

Yes, combination skin is a good fit. Apply across the T-zone and oil-prone areas. If your cheeks are dry, apply more lightly there or pat with palms rather than wiping with a cotton pad.

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.
