Brand note
LION is best known for its Pair Acne Cream W, a spot treatment that creators consistently say reduces inflammation and size of breakouts within a day or two, without stinging or excessive drying. It has a lightweight cream that turns clear, so you can wear it under makeup. The brand also makes a creamy foam cleanser for breakout-prone skin, but the spot treatment is the clear anchor. If you deal with the occasional painful or cystic pimple, this is worth having on hand.
