System Verdict
Effective Japanese drugstore spot treatment for mild acne inflammation and bacteria, but fragrance drags down safety. Efficacy score of 3.1 reflects clinically-backed 3% Ibuprofen Piconol (potent anti-inflammatory at high position 1) paired with 0.3% Isopropyl Methylphenol (effective antibacterial), supported by Japanese dermatology guidelines and studies showing faster lesion reduction vs single agents; no pH or stability issues in this leave-on cream format, earning outstanding rating for targeted acne action without harsh drying.
