This maximum OTC strength beta-hydroxy acid goes deep into pores to unclog them, effectively removing acne-causing oil and debris.

This foaming face wash lifts away the day’s dirt, makeup, and excess sebum from your skin, giving you a fresh start morning and night. Despite its power to decongest pores and combat blemishes, the formula is carefully balanced so it won’t strip your skin’s natural moisture. You’ll feel clean and refreshed, not tight and flaky – an ideal choice for oily, combination, and even sensitive skin types that need a thorough cleanse with a gentle touch.Soothing Botanicals & Niacinamide: While many acne treatments can be harsh, Pacifica’s Acne Defense cleanser stands out with its blend of calming, skin-loving ingredients. Niacinamide helps minimize the look of enlarged pores and supports an even skin tone, addressing post-acne marks. Meanwhile, natural extracts of cucumber, sage, and mint deliver a cooling sensation that calms redness and inflammation. The result is skin that not only looks clearer but also feels soothed and cared for during the acne-fighting process.Clean, Gentle & Dermatologist Tested: We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between effective acne care and gentle ingredients. This face wash is dermatologist tested and formulated to align with Pacifica’s strict clean beauty guidelines – no parabens, phthalates, sulfates, or mineral oil.

    • My New Go-To Face wash!
Scent: Kale Detox Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The Pacifica Kale Detox Deep Cleaning Face Wash is a great choice for those seeking a powerful yet gentle cleanser. This face wash has a lightweight gel texture that lathers nicely and rinses off easily without leaving any residue. It effectively removes excess oil, dirt, and makeup, leaving my skin feeling clean and refreshed. **Scent:** The smell is wonderful, leaning towards a natural, earthy scent which is perfect because I'm allergic to synthetic fragrance. **Packaging:** The face wash comes in a easy-to-use flip top tube. **Pros:** - Vegan and cruelty-free - Packed with antioxidants and vitamins - Gently yet effectively cleanses the skin - Free from harsh chemicals like parabens and sulfates - Suitable for a variety of skin types, including sensitive skin **Cons:** None **Conclusion:** Give it a try if you’re aiming for clear, radiant skin without compromising on gentleness or ethical standards. ... show more

    • Low foam - rinses clean.
Scent: Future Youth Size: 4.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m in love with the future youth cleanser - and I honestly didn’t expect to be. The packaging feels heavy and lux because it’s glass and the gel dispenses nicely - I like to apply it to my fave dry then add water so it can slip around. This cleanser is a slippery low foam situation, but it rinses clean which I appreciate a lot and leaves the slightest touch of “squeak.” Not too much, but enough so I don’t feel greasy afterwards just fresh, clean and comfortable skin. The smell is very soft and dissipated quickly. ... show more

    • Great travel face wash!
Scent: Mini Glow Baby Brightening Size: 1.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My face feels so fresh after washing with this! The color is an orange-y color so don't be thrown off by that. The scent is nice and not too strong. No irritation on my sometimes sensitive skin! Feels nice and light.

Package is easy to open & bottles are sealed. They all smell great! I am excited to use them all throught the day. I live in the Bronx & walk a lot and noticed too much aging due to the toxicities. ....stand by for an update. Used the orange bottle to wash my face two days already. Use less than a dime size so it'll foam up & turn white, otherwise it looks like turmeric & does get on your towels. My face looks & feels amazing! ... show more

    • USED TO LOOK UPON DAILY FACIAL CLEANSE AS A *CHORE* NOW I LOOK SO!! FORWARD TO PEACHES!!
Scent: Peach Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love my daily cleansing routine w/this product! Fresh peach scent abounds and I use a manual soft facial cleansing brush during and perfect cleansing for the first time in my 70 year old (71 next month!) facial skin's life because of oils included for nourishment of my super-delicate and extremely DRY skin and Kombucha--an actual nutritive product that is absorbed into my skin every time I cleanse it and treats it & prevents any irritation. My skin now positively glows every single day! I've always loved and utilized good many PACIFICA products (such as their bath gels, perfumes,deodorants, etc.) over the years mostly because of their all-natural approach to caring for our micobiomes, but this is a definite keeper!! I truly cannot foresee a time in my future where I would ever wish to stop using it-- My skin has always had to go through an adjustment period every time I've started out with a new skin cleansing and treatment regime, no matter what I've tried whether--middle age or no--whether in the distant past as a teen, or as an adult. I spent several weeks researching the cleansing oils that are out there and this was my final choice! I only use one pump of this delicious oil and spread it over my face and neck -rub it in and then use my soft bristle manual cleansing brush; once more, all over my face and neck--EXFOLIATION & SUPER CLEANSING ACTION WITH NO irritation whatsoever from the very start!! I am amazed! I've been using it daily for about a month now and I am convinced I can safely say at this point I will hope to USE this FOREVER!! ... show more

    • Product is neon yellow!!!
Scent: Glow Baby Brightening Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
While the face wash is ok, I have to use it in the shower only. The color of the wash is neon yellow, so I am afraid that it could get on my clothes, rugs, or anything else and stain them if I use it on the countertop. I also traveled with it and had to be careful not to get it on anything in my friends bathroom that I stayed with. They REALLY need to change the color of the product because I will not buy it again unless it is. ... show more
