14g / All Skin Types (Spot Treatment) / Medicated / Made in Japan
The Lion Pair Medicated Acne Care Cream is one of Japan’s most popular and effective acne solutions, formulated specifically to target and heal active, inflamed acne at the source. Its success lies in its unique dual active ingredient system:
Ibuprofen Piconol (IPPN): This non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) penetrates deep into the pores to target the source of inflammation and swelling, calming angry red pimples quickly.
Isopropylmethylphenol (IPMP): A powerful antiseptic agent that sterilizes the affected area, eliminating the P. acnes bacteria that leads to breakouts.
Unlike many harsh spot treatments that can dry out and irritate the surrounding skin, the Pair Acne Cream has a gentle, low-irritant formula. Its light, smooth cream consistency spreads easily and absorbs without leaving a sticky or visible residue, making it an excellent choice for application before makeup. It is most effective when applied early to inflamed, red pimples to suppress swelling and prevent the breakout from worsening.
🔑 Key Benefits:
Targets Inflammation: IPPN rapidly calms redness, swelling, and pain in active breakouts.
Kills Bacteria: IPMP ensures the area is sterilized to prevent infection and promote healing.
Quick Absorption: Creamy texture blends seamlessly into the skin for day or night use.
Low-Irritation Formula: Gentle and non-drying compared to treatments like Benzoyl Peroxide.
Speeds Up Healing: Aids in the resolution of the acne spot without leaving severe marks.
🧪 Key Ingredients Highlight:
Ibuprofen Piconol (IPPN) (3%): Active anti-inflammatory agent that calms swelling.
Isopropylmethylphenol (IPMP) (0.3%): Active antibacterial agent that disinfects the area.
Stearyl Alcohol & Polysorbate 60: Emollients that create the smooth cream base.
Octyldodecanol & 1,3-Butylene Glycol: Provide conditioning and help the formula penetrate.
📌 How to Use:
1. After cleansing and applying your regular skincare, squeeze a small amount of cream onto your fingertip. 2. Gently dab the cream only onto the red, inflamed acne spot. 3. Rub gently to blend the cream into the skin until it becomes translucent. 4. Reapply several times a day (morning, midday, and evening) until the pimple subsides.

Q: What kind of acne is this cream best for?
A: It is most effective on red, swollen, inflamed pimples and whiteheads that are just starting to form, as it works to stop the inflammation process early.
