About Meishoku Bigansui Medicated Lotion
Meishoku Bigansui Medicated Lotion is an acne-care lotion born from the founder's love and his wish to "make his wife, who struggled with acne, smile."
It contains two active ingredients, salicylic acid and homosulfamine, to care for acne. It clears away old keratin clogging the pores to leave skin clean and smooth. Salicylic acid softens the old keratin that blocks pores and gently removes it, and it can also be used for care of acne marks. Homosulfamine helps prevent the growth of acne bacteria and leads skin toward a condition less prone to acne. The lotion can be used not only on the face but also on areas of concern such as the back and chest.
Point 1: Effect on Acne
With sterilizing, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory ingredients, the lotion thoroughly removes the causes of acne and conditions skin to be less prone to breakouts.
Point 2: Effect on Pores
It removes keratin plugs and pore clogging, which are causes of acne, and also cares for darkness in the pores.
Point 3: Effect on Shine
It suppresses excess sebum to prevent shine, and removes dirt and extra sebum to keep skin clean.
Recommended Way to Use
After washing your face, take an appropriate amount in the palm of your hand and gently work it into the whole face. To wipe it on instead, soak an appropriate amount into a cotton pad and wipe while pressing lightly. Avoid leaving it on the face or other areas like a pack. In rare cases, redness or other signs of hypersensitivity may appear.
The History of Bigansui
"Nikibitori Bigansui" (にきびとり美顔水) was the starting point of the company and is the origin of the Bigan series. It has been loved from its launch in 1885 (Meiji 18) to the present day. Created by the founder with his wife's acne troubles in mind, it is said to be Japan's first lotion based on Western medicine.
