A refreshing, foaming cleanser formulated to remove excess oil, unclog pores, and keep acne-prone skin clear and balanced.

his is such a great daily cleanser if you’re someone who struggles with oiliness or breakouts. It lathers nicely without feeling too harsh, and it really leaves your skin feeling clean but not stripped. I like that it’s strong enough to help with congestion but still gentle enough for daily use—it’s the kind of cleanser that becomes a staple in your routine.

Purify breakout-prone and oily skin with a gentle cleanser that effortlessly removes makeup, excess oil, dirt, and environmental impurities. Specifically formulated to target acne-prone skin, it offers gentle exfoliation and deep cleansing without drying or irritation, leaving your complexion clear, smooth, and comfortably refreshed.

PCA Skin Facial Wash Oily/Problem combines potent yet gentle ingredients such as Gluconolactone—a soothing polyhydroxy acid (PHA)—with Lactic Acid and Aloe Vera Leaf Juice to exfoliate, hydrate, and soothe your skin simultaneously. This cleanser thoroughly clears pores and removes excess sebum, significantly reducing breakouts and promoting a visibly healthier, smoother complexion.

Designed to maintain skin balance and hydration while cleansing, it gently exfoliates dead skin cells, refining texture and providing a brighter, clearer appearance with consistent use. Perfect for oily, problematic, or acne-prone skin, this facial wash ensures your skin stays soft, balanced, and revitalized.

Is PCA Skin Facial Wash Oily/Problem good for acne-prone or oily skin?

Yes. This cleanser is formulated as a refreshing foaming wash designed to remove excess oil, unclog pores, and help keep acne-prone skin clear and balanced. Specifically, the foaming action and oil-removing properties help reduce surface sebum and debris that contribute to comedones, while the clinical-grade formulation is aimed at supporting clearer skin in oily and combination types. People who benefit most are adults with oily, combination, or blemish-prone skin who need a daily wash that targets oil and pore congestion without heavy creams. As a medical-grade option recommended by professionals, it’s a strong choice for routine maintenance. If you have very dry or reactive skin, expect some dryness and consider using it less frequently or following with a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer.

How should I use PCA Skin Facial Wash Oily/Problem in my daily skincare routine?

Use it as a primary cleanser once or twice daily. Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage gently for about 30 to 60 seconds to allow the foaming formula to lift oil and unclog pores, then rinse thoroughly and pat skin dry. Follow with targeted treatments such as a serum for acne or oil control and finish with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer and SPF in the morning. The product’s design makes it suitable as the cleansing step for oily and combination skin types seeking clinical results. Avoid over-cleansing; if you’re using strong topical actives or prescriptions, start with a single daily use and increase only if skin tolerates it well.

Can I use this cleanser with topical acne prescriptions or retinoids?

Yes, but with caution and monitoring. The cleanser’s oil-removing and pore-unclogging action complements topical acne treatments by cleaning the skin surface, which can improve treatment penetration. However, using strong topical prescriptions or retinoids can increase dryness and irritation, so combine them conservatively: begin by using the cleanser once daily, apply prescription actives as directed by your clinician, and add a soothing, non-comedogenic moisturizer to reduce barrier compromise. If you experience significant irritation, reduce frequency of one or both products or consult your dermatologist. This approach preserves clinical benefits while minimizing combined irritation.

How long will it take to see improvements in breakouts and pore clarity?

You can often notice cleaner-feeling skin and reduced surface oil immediately, with measurable improvements in pore clarity and fewer breakouts within about 2 to 6 weeks. The cleanser removes excess sebum and pore-clogging debris each use, which supports clearer skin over time when paired with consistent routine and appropriate follow-up treatments. Individual results vary based on acne severity, concurrent medications, and adherence. For persistent or moderate-to-severe acne, expect that topical or professional treatments may be required in addition to a clinical cleanser, and consult a skincare professional for a comprehensive plan.

Is PCA Skin Facial Wash Oily/Problem suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

It is suitable for combination and oily skin but may be too active for very sensitive or reactive skin. The foaming, oil-targeted formulation effectively controls shine and unclogs pores, which benefits combination skin that struggles with an oily T-zone and congested pores. However, the same oil-removing action can increase tightness or dryness in highly sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test and consider using the wash less frequently, rinsing quickly, and following with a barrier-supporting moisturizer. For those with clinically sensitive conditions, consult a skincare professional to determine if a gentler alternative is preferable.
