About Biore
Biore is Japan's leading cleansing brand, owned by Kao Corporation and specialising in pore care skincare since 1980. As the first non-soap cleansing wash and the first skincare brand to focus on pores as the root cause of problem skin, Biore has pioneered the 'Do Different' approach that has made it a global phenomenon in facial cleansing and pore treatment. The brand's heritage traces back to Kao Corporation, founded by Tomiro Nagase in 1887 with a mission to create high-quality, affordable facial products. The Biore name emerged from a Kao annual naming contest, combining 'Bio' (meaning life) and 'Ore' (meaning precious ore like gold), while also representing Beauty, Intelligence, Originality, Reliability, and Enrichment. This Japanese beauty philosophy underpins every product in the range. Biore entered the UK market in 1998 with their iconic pore strips, which quickly became a bathroom staple for those battling blackheads and congested skin. The range has since expanded to include facial cleansers, cleansing wipes, sunscreens, and specialist pore care treatments, all backed by Kao Corporation's expertise in skin science and their workforce of over 33,000 employees worldwide. UK shoppers can find Biore products at Boots, Superdrug, Amazon, Tesco, Sainsburys, and other major retailers.
