Lion Pair Acne Cream W Medicated Treatment is a Japanese premium spot treatment, created for those who need a reliable solution for adult acne, cystic breakouts, and inflammatory pimples. Unlike generic treatments that rely on drying sulfur, this cream utilizes a sophisticated dual-active approach to treat the root of the breakout. Sourced freshly from Tokyo pharmacies, this authentic version is a registered Quasi-Drug in Japan, celebrated for its ability to treat acne without causing the skin to peel or flake. Its lightweight, creamy texture sinks in instantly, making it an essential tool for daytime and nighttime skin emergencies.

Perfect for:

Reducing the size and redness of painful, "under-the-skin" cystic acne.
Treating inflammatory breakouts that are tender to the touch.
Those who need a spot treatment that can be worn invisibly during the workday.
Preventing acne scars by quickly calming the inflammatory response.

Why it’s popular in Japan: A perennial #1 bestseller in the @cosme rankings, Lion Pair is the most famous acne treatment in Tokyo drugstores. It is currently viral as "The Adult Acne Savior," as it focuses on the unique needs of adult skin—treating the blemish while maintaining moisture. In Japan, it is highly valued for its discreet nature; it is a staple in the makeup bags of Tokyo professionals because it doesn't "ball up" or flake off when layered with foundation.

What you will notice after using:

Pain and throbbing associated with deep pimples are significantly reduced.
Redness begins to fade within hours of the first application.
The breakout "flattens" faster than with traditional air-drying methods.
The skin around the blemish remains soft and hydrated rather than becoming crusty.

What makes it different from others: Unlike typical Western spot treatments that often rely on Benzoyl Peroxide, Lion Pair Acne Cream W uses Ibuprofen Piconol (IPPN). This is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent that is exceptionally effective at stopping the progress of a pimple. This is paired with Isopropyl Methylphenol (IPMP), which sterilizes the area to ensure bacteria cannot spread. This 24g tube is the larger value size, providing a long-lasting supply for consistent acne management.

Ibuprofen Piconol (IPPN): Suppresses comedone formation and reduces inflammation.
Isopropyl Methylphenol (IPMP): Antibacterial agent that targets acne-causing bacteria.
Stearyl Alcohol: Helps the cream glide and provides a light moisture barrier.
Free-from: Harsh drying alcohols, Steroids, and Artificial Dyes.

Cleanse your face thoroughly and pat dry.
Apply an appropriate amount of the cream directly to the affected area.
Gently rub the cream in until it turns transparent.
Once dry, you may proceed with your usual lotion, moisturizer, and makeup.

Pro Tip: Apply a slightly thicker layer at night before bed to allow the medicinal ingredients to work undisturbed during your skin's natural repair cycle.

Can I use this all over my face?
This is a targeted treatment. While it is gentle, it is designed to be applied to specific breakouts or areas where you feel a pimple beginning to form. For overall skin health, follow up with a balanced lotion like Hada Labo.

Does it work on blackheads?
It is primarily designed for inflammatory acne (red, swollen, or painful pimples). For blackheads and pore congestion, we recommend using the Meishoku Detclear Peeling Jelly to dissolve sebum plugs.

Can I wear this under makeup?
Absolutely. One of its best features is that it dries to a completely matte, invisible finish. It does not create a film that peels off, so your concealer and foundation will sit perfectly over it.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. It is formulated to be close to the skin's natural pH and avoids the common irritants found in many acne products. If you have very sensitive skin, we still recommend a small patch test.

How long does a 24g tube last?
Since you only use a small amount for each spot, a 24g tube typically lasts between 4 to 6 months, making it a very economical addition to your skincare kit.

How do I know if my Lion Pair Acne Cream is real or fake?
Authentic Lion Pair from Tokyo Shelf comes in a high-quality aluminum-style tube with clear Japanese pharmaceutical printing. The cream should be a smooth white and turn clear almost instantly. Fake versions are often in plastic tubes, have a gritty texture, or a strong chemical smell. We source directly from authorized Tokyo pharmacies to guarantee the genuine medicated formula.
