Omi Brotherhood Menturm Acne Lotion 110ml
Why you'll love it
Omi Brotherhood Menturm Acne Lotion 110ml is a Japanese spot-treatment lotion for pimples and breakouts, made by Omi Brotherhood (近江兄弟社). In Japan it is sold as a registered over-the-counter acne medicine, not just a cosmetic. Its two actives are sulfur, a classic acne ingredient, and homosulfamine, an antibacterial agent. You dab it only onto the spots themselves. It is a simple choice for teens and adults in Bangladesh who get oily-skin breakouts in hot, humid weather and want a targeted treatment for individual pimples.
Key Benefits
- Targets pimples directly: It is made to treat acne and pimples (ニキビ・ふきでもの) right where they appear.
- Works against acne bacteria: Sulfur and homosulfamine both have antibacterial action against the bacteria linked to breakouts.
- Softens clogged skin: Sulfur softens the hard outer layer of skin around a spot, which helps the blemish clear.
- Helps stop pus from forming: Homosulfamine helps prevent bacterial infection that leads to pus-filled pimples.
- Spot-only use: You apply it just to the pimple, so the rest of your face is left alone.
- Large 110ml bottle: Because you only use a little on each spot, one bottle lasts a long time.
Key Ingredients & How It Works
- Sulfur (5.0g per 100g): The main active. It softens the outer skin layer and has antibacterial action, which helps treat pimples and breakouts.
- Homosulfamine (0.3g per 100g): An antibacterial active that helps prevent bacterial infection and pus in pimples.
- Bentonite: A clay that helps hold the sulfur in the lotion. It settles at the bottom, which is why you shake the bottle before use.
- Ethanol: Helps the lotion spread and dry quickly on the skin.
How it works: After you shake the bottle, the sulfur spreads evenly through the lotion. When you dab it on a pimple, the sulfur loosens the hardened skin over the blocked pore and acts against acne bacteria. At the same time, homosulfamine helps stop the infection that turns a spot red and pus-filled. Together they help the pimple settle and heal.
Skin Type & Suitable For
- Best for oily and acne-prone skin with individual pimples and breakouts.
- Suitable for teenagers and adults. Children should use it only with an adult watching.
- Good for anyone in Bangladesh whose skin breaks out more in sweaty, humid months.
- It contains alcohol and sulfur, so dry or sensitive skin may find it drying. Use it only on the spots and do a patch test first.
- Note: This is a treatment for existing pimples. It is not a daily all-over toner.
How to Use
- Wash your face: Cleanse gently and pat your skin dry.
- Shake well: Shake the bottle well before every use, because the active sulfur settles at the bottom.
- Take a little: Pour a small amount onto your palm or a cotton pad.
- Dab on spots only: Gently pat it onto the pimples. Do not spread it over the wider surrounding skin.
- Repeat: Use it a few times a day as needed.
- Avoid the eyes: If it gets in your eyes, rinse with plenty of water. See an eye doctor if irritation is strong.
Important Suggestions
- Patch test first on a small area for 24 hours before your first full use.
- For external use only. Keep it away from your eyes, lips and other sensitive areas.
- Remove metal jewellery such as rings and necklaces before use. Sulfur can discolour metal.
- Stop using it if you get a rash, redness or itching, and talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
- See a doctor if there is no improvement after 5–6 days, if a large area is affected, or if the skin is weeping or broken.
- Use sunscreen every morning. Bangladesh's strong sun can darken acne marks, so daily sun protection helps your skin recover evenly.
- Store it well: Close the cap tightly and keep it in a cool place away from direct sunlight and heat, out of reach of children.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the active ingredients in Menturm Acne Lotion?

No. It is a spot treatment. Dab it only on pimples and avoid the surrounding skin.
Why do I need to shake the bottle?
