Key Takeaway
BigBasket.pk does not stock the Acnes face wash you're pricing out. Here's why, plus real, verified anti-acne face washes from PKR 399 you can order with COD.
Straight answer: BigBasket.pk does not stock Acnes face wash price in Pakistan because we don't currently carry the Acnes brand at all, and we won't quote a number for a product we can't personally verify, package-seal, and stand behind. Acnes (made by Japan's Rohto Mentholatum) is not officially distributed in Pakistan, so anything you see priced on marketplaces or Instagram shops is coming through informal import channels we cannot vouch for.
What we can give you is something more useful than a rumoured price: real, in-stock face washes built for the same job — clearing oily skin and calming acne-prone breakouts — with verified PKR prices, authentic packaging and Cash on Delivery across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and the rest of Pakistan.
What Acnes Face Wash Is (And Why It's Not on BigBasket.pk)
Acnes is a Japanese skincare line by Rohto Mentholatum, best known in South and Southeast Asia for its acne-focused face washes, spot treatments and oil-control powders aimed at teenage and oily-acne-prone skin. It has a loyal following, which is exactly why so many shoppers in Pakistan search for its price before buying.
The catch: Acnes has no official distributor or authorised retailer network in Pakistan. Every unit sold locally has arrived through personal imports, resellers, or unregulated online listings. BigBasket.pk only lists products we source, verify and hold in our own stock — so Acnes simply isn't part of our catalogue, and we're not going to pretend otherwise or attach a fake price tag to it.
That matters more than it sounds. A face wash is a leave-on-skin, rinse-off cosmetic product — batch codes, seals and formulation can shift between grey-market shipments, and there's no way for us (or you) to confirm a bottle bought off an unverified seller matches what left the factory in Japan. If your goal is an anti-acne face wash you can trust the ingredient list on, that's the problem worth solving first — see our full skin care range for what we do carry and can guarantee.
Why We Won't Quote a Grey-Market Price
You'll find Acnes listed on various Pakistani marketplaces at wildly different prices depending on the seller, the size, and how many hands the bottle passed through before reaching a warehouse in Karachi or Lahore. Some listings undercut what the product would cost even in Japan; others mark it up heavily because it's "hard to find." Neither tells you anything reliable.
Unofficial imports also carry a real counterfeit risk in Pakistan's beauty market — refilled bottles, relabelled expired stock, and diluted formulas are documented problems with imported skincare sold outside authorised channels, especially for smaller, cult-favourite brands that don't have a local office to police fakes. A low price on an unverifiable listing isn't a deal; it's a variable you can't control.
This is why BigBasket.pk's policy is simple: we quote prices only for stock we hold and can guarantee is authentic, sealed, and traceable. Below are the anti-acne and oil-control face washes currently in our catalogue, with real PKR pricing, so you can compare against whatever grey-market number you've seen without guessing.

How to Choose Between Them for Pakistan's Climate and Skin Tones
Karachi's humidity and Lahore or Islamabad's drier winters change what an acne-prone face wash needs to do. In Karachi's heat and moisture, oil production and breakouts spike, so a genuinely oil-free foaming formula — Clean & Clear Essentials Foaming Face Wash, Oil Free or the Aloe Vera Cleansing Face Wash — controls shine without over-drying skin that's already sweating through the day.
In Lahore or Islamabad winters, low humidity can strip oily and acne-prone skin faster than expected, especially on wheatish and tan skin tones that show post-acne dark marks more visibly. Here, a formula with barrier support matters more: CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser pairs its oil-free, foaming cleanse with ceramides and niacinamide, so it clears excess oil without leaving skin tight or reactive — a common complaint with harsher acne washes in dry weather.
If you're newer to targeted acne skincare or on a tighter budget, the Peach Punch or Aloe Vera washes at PKR 399 are a sensible starting point before stepping up to a dermatologist-formulated option. Deep, brown and melanin-rich skin tones generally tolerate all of these formulas well since none contain harsh bleaching agents — the priority is oil control and gentle exfoliation, not lightening.
Getting the Most Out of an Acne Face Wash
A face wash alone won't clear acne — its job is to remove excess oil, sweat and surface bacteria without disturbing your skin barrier, which is where most people go wrong. Wash twice daily (morning and night), not more; over-washing strips oil, which signals skin to produce even more of it, worsening breakouts over time.
Use lukewarm water, not hot — hot water aggravates inflamed acne and dries out the skin's natural moisture. Massage a foaming or gel wash like Clean & Clear or CeraVe gently for 30-60 seconds, focusing on the T-zone where oil builds up fastest, then rinse fully so no residue clogs pores. Pat dry with a clean towel rather than rubbing, which can spread bacteria from active breakouts to clear skin.
Give any new face wash two to four weeks before judging results — acne cycles take time to respond, and switching products every few days (a common mistake when chasing a specific imported brand) usually sets progress back rather than speeding it up. Pair your face wash with a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser and daily sunscreen; skipping moisturiser because skin feels oily is one of the fastest ways to trigger more breakouts. Browse the full skin care category to build out the rest of an acne-safe routine.
Common Mistakes
- Buying an unverified "Acnes" listing on a marketplace without checking the seller, batch code or seal — grey-market skincare is a common counterfeit risk in Pakistan.
- Washing your face more than twice a day to fight oil, which strips the skin barrier and triggers even more oil production.
- Using hot water on acne-prone skin, which inflames breakouts instead of calming them.
- Skipping moisturiser because skin feels oily, a common trigger for more breakouts, not fewer.
- Switching face washes every few days while chasing one specific imported brand instead of giving a formula 2-4 weeks to work.
- Assuming a lower price online means a better deal — with unofficial imports it often just means an unverifiable product.
