What it is
Biore The Hand Foaming Hand Soap is a Japanese medicated hand soap, 280ml, scented with roasted hojicha green tea. A three-layer mesh pump turns it into a fine, whipped-cream foam that cleans away dirt, viruses, and bacteria while staying weakly acidic and leaving hands soft with hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
Why it's different
It dispenses as a dense, whipped-cream foam from a three-layer mesh pump, so no lathering is needed.
As a medicated soap it removes viruses and bacteria while staying weakly acidic and gentle on skin.
It is scented with calming roasted hojicha tea rather than a standard soap fragrance.
Key ingredients
Isopropyl methylphenol: the medicated active that removes bacteria
Hyaluronic acid and glycerin: humectants that keep hands soft
Roasted hojicha fragrance: a mellow, calming Japanese green tea scent
How to use
1. Press the pump once or twice to dispense the foam directly.
2. Spread over hands and wash.
3. Rinse. Keep the bottle standing still in place rather than shaking it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. We only buy from official retailers and directly from the brands here in Japan. Never resellers, never grey market stock.
We are beauty lovers too, so we know the worry, especially with something you are putting on your face. Authenticity is 100% guaranteed by us.
What does 'medicated' mean for a hand soap?
It is a Japanese quasi-drug, meaning it contains an approved active. Here that active is isopropyl methylphenol, included to remove bacteria while the soap cleans.
Why is the foam different from a normal foaming soap?
A three-layer mesh pump aerates it into a fine, dense, whipped-cream lather, so it feels cushiony and spreads easily without you working up a foam.
Will it dry out my hands?
It is weakly acidic, matching skin, and includes hyaluronic acid and glycerin to help hands stay soft rather than tight after frequent washing.
What does hojicha smell like?
Hojicha is roasted Japanese green tea. The scent is warm, mellow, and toasty rather than sweet or sharp.
