All girls would agree that acne (also known as pimple) is their biggest enemy. It is a normal part of puberty and almost everyone get acne at some point of their life. I used to suffer from severe acne breakout during my teenage years. But fortunately, my acne goes away almost completely after I ventured into adulthood.
Even so, I still get red and swollen acne occasionally, and I really hate the ones with visible popped heads because they really hurt badly even when you gently touch them. They are unsightly and incredibly annoying,
Thus, I have been looking for a pimple treatment cream to treat the occasional acne for a long time. After reading over a dozen of online raving reviews, I decided to purchase and try out the Lion Pair Medicated Acne Care Cream W.
Lion Pair Medicated Acne Care Cream W is perhaps the best selling acne treatment cream in Japan. But unfortunately, it is not readily available in Malaysia. I bought this acne treatment cream during my Japan trip last November.
If you are interested to know what I bought in Japan, please read my "Huge Beauty + Snacks Shopping Haul" post.
You can get this product in Malaysia on Lazada or Shopee now. I think it is even cheaper to buy this product in Malaysia than in Japan.
Product Features
Lion Pair Medicated Acne Care Cream W contains Ibuprofen Piconol (IPPN) with anti-inflammatory properties. Formulated with a PH close to the skin to minimize allergic reactions, it is effective at calming inflammation and curing swelling acne.
The reason why acne hurts is because they are swollen and inflamed. I have tried many acne treatment creams that are available in the market, but none of them impressed me as much as the Lion Pair Medicated Acne Care Cream W. While most other acne treatment creams require at least a few days to work, the Lion Pair Medicated Acne Care Cream W is able to cure a swelling acne overnight!
Well, I believe you will all agree that when fighting acne, faster is the better. Once applied, the Lion Pair Medicated Acne Care Cream W acts quickly to dry out acne. It has a cooling and soothing effect on the skin, which helps to soothe red and inflamed acne. After hours of application, I noticed significant improvement in my acne. It has visibly reduced swelling and redness in as little as 2 hours! In just two days, the acne has disappeared. Yes, it is just that amazing!
Although the cream is effective at treating acne, it does not fade acne scars. After all, this is not an acne scar treatment cream. Another thing I really like about the cream is that it is non-sticky or greasy. The texture of the cream is light and can be absorbed by skin easily. It becomes transparent once it is applied on skin, without leaving an ugly white residue.
The Lion Pair Medicated Acne Care Cream W comes in a tube and is available in 14g and 24g. I bought the 14g one because I actually find this cream a little pricey. Furthermore, I am not sure whether this cream will work well for me. I bought this for 736 Yen (about RM 30) from Tsuruha Drug Store while I was in Dotonbori, Osaka. You can actually buy this from any other drugstores in Japan with no prescription needed. You can actually buy this product in Malaysia from Lazada or Shopee as well.

How To Use
All in all, I am quite happy with my purchase. Will I repurchase this product again? Yes, definitely! But I will get the 24g tube instead of the 14g tube next time. The Lion Pair Medicated Acne Care Cream W work miraculously and is one of the most effective acne treatment cream I have used so far. I find it especially effective on swelling acne with visible popped heads. With this cream, I believe I will never be bothered by acne again!

ReplyDeleteHi, this is effective at reducing swelling and redness. The acne will be gone in 2-3 days too.
DeleteHello, do you have any cream recommendation for acne scars? ^^
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, nope. I have been looking around for an effective product to treat acne scars too. But so far, I still have not found any.
DeleteWhat a great Suggestion Elin! Thank you very much sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteAfter the ache is gone...Is it still will comeback?
ReplyDeleteNope, but the scar will take time to fade. Of course, acne will still appear in other areas of your face.
DeleteDoes this only works on red, swollen pimples? How bout clogged pores, whiteheads or blackheads? I also have terrible body acne >_<'
ReplyDeleteThis is an acne cream, so it don't work on clogged pores, whiteheads and blackheads. It is effective at soothing swollen pimples.
DeleteCould ths cream make your pimple dry until theres no scar left?
ReplyDeleteHi, it soothe your pimples and dry it out. But it does not remove pimple scar. Try not to squeeze your pimples because it will leave you with a scar. The best way to fade pimple scars is to moisturize well.
DeleteHi Elin,
ReplyDeletehow much it cost for 24g over in japan? There's a lot of it at lazada which I'm sure of the genuinity selling at around RM38-40. Does the info paper inside it kinda thin and transparent to wordings for your original japan product?
I bought it for around RM 30. But I cannot remember how the info paper looks like because I already threw it away.
DeleteHi. After using this product I noticed layers of dry/dead skin appearing around and over the area where I applied it. Is this just a part of the drying process or am I allergic to this? Its my 1st time dealing with acne and I don't know what's going on.
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteMost acne cream will make your skin dry. You might be sensitive to the product also. But if there is no redness or itchiness, that might not be the problem. Try moisturizing your skin. It might help.
You know how how long i can use it after opening? I has onpened the tube while ago ( around over a year) so i'm not sure if i can still use it
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteYou should be able find an expiry date on the box. Usually its around 3 years
Hi can this cream flatten the pimple???? I have a serious acne and its disgusting and my acne are big and has little bumps
ReplyDeleteHi, it helps to reduce swelling, but it usually takes a few days for the acne to heal
Deletecan i apply it after applying moisturizer ?
ReplyDeleteYes, I sometimes do that.
DeleteHi Elin! Have you tried PAIR® A Tablet? I saw that you take 1 pill everyday
ReplyDeleteHi, I have not tried the PAIR® A Tablet. Where did you saw me taking 1 pill everyday?
DeleteHahaha sorry, in my country sometimes we say "you" but it's not actually the person.
ReplyDeletecan i use it after toner? btw i have oily skin (thats why its kinda necessary)
ReplyDeleteI have oily skin too. It doesn't matter whether you apply your toner first or the cream first.
DeleteHi Maam im from Philippines just wondering where can i buy this product that you think its legit. I been suffering from acne since teenage lives up until now it got even worse. I;ve tried a lot of products.
ReplyDeleteHi, I also suffered from acne during my teenage days. There are many website(like Shopee, Lazada) where you can buy this product. I am not sure which one will be the best for you to buy in Philippines. Besides using an acne cream, try adjusting your eating and sleeping habits too. Try to eat clean, drink plenty of water, sleep early and maintain a good skin care routine. It helps me to clear my skin as I grow older.
DeleteHihi, I happened to chance upon your blog. Do u know if this cream can be used for young girls? My girl is 11 and she is having pimples lately especially her Tzone. I am thinking if I can buy for her to try. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi, yes you can try this cream out. It can be used for all ages. The cream will help to soothe red and inflamed acne. But please note that all acne cream can be drying on skin.
