Acnes Mentholatum Creamy Wash 100g100g

Key Ingredients

• Isopropyl Methylphenol -- an antibacterial ingredient consistently confirmed across regional ingredient-list sources for this product
• Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide -- confirmed present in the Japan-market ingredient list sourced, but absent from a separately-sourced Indonesia-market ingredient list; this is a genuine regional formula difference, disclosed here rather than assumed to apply universally
• Zinc Gluconate and Zinc Chloride -- confirmed present in the Japan-market formula sourced
• Important disclosure: despite the "Mentholatum" brand name, MedEasy could not confirm Menthol as an actual listed ingredient in any sourced version of this product's formula. "Mentholatum" is a legacy company/brand name (tracing to the Mentholatum Company, now part of Rohto), not a direct indicator that Menthol is an ingredient -- this should not be assumed without confirmation

Key Features

• A facial cleansing wash from the Acnes brand (Mentholatum/Rohto), formulated for acne-prone skin, in a 100g size
• Acnes products are manufactured with region-specific formulas across different markets (confirmed variance found between Japan- and Indonesia-labeled versions), so the exact active ingredients can differ depending on where a specific unit was manufactured/sourced for a given market

Benefits

• Isopropyl Methylphenol is included for its antibacterial action, supporting a cleanser positioned for acne-prone skin
• Where present in a given regional formula, Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide are commonly used in acne-focused skincare for exfoliating and skin-barrier-supporting effects respectively

Who Can Use This Product

• Those with acne-prone or oily skin looking for a targeted facial wash
• Given the confirmed regional formula variance, anyone with a Salicylic Acid sensitivity should check the ingredient list on their specific unit's packaging before use
• Not recommended for anyone with known sensitivities without first consulting a doctor or dermatologist
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a doctor before use, particularly given the potential presence of Salicylic Acid depending on regional formula

How to Use

• Wet the face with water, apply a small amount, and work into a lather
• Massage gently in circular motions, avoiding the eye area
• Rinse thoroughly with water
• Use once or twice daily as part of a regular cleansing routine

Storage & Safety

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Keep the cap/tube tightly closed after use
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation, redness, or a burning sensation occurs
• Keep out of reach of children
• Sourcing note: Acnes/Mentholatum products are confirmed to use region-specific formulas -- a Japan-labeled ingredient list for this product includes Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, Zinc Gluconate, Zinc Chloride, and Isopropyl Methylphenol, while a separately-sourced Indonesia-market ingredient list lacks Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide. Isopropyl Methylphenol is the one active ingredient consistently confirmed across both regional sources. Despite the "Mentholatum" brand name, Menthol itself could not be confirmed as an actual listed ingredient in any sourced formula version -- buyers should check their specific unit's packaging for the exact ingredient list applicable to their region.
