Pacifica Acne Defense Face Wash — 2% Salicylic Acid Deep-Pore Cleanser, Niacinamide & Cucumber for Sensitive Skin

Pacifica Acne Defense Face Wash is a vegan, dermatologist-tested cleanser with 2% salicylic acid that clears pores, calms inflammation, and helps prevent breakouts without over-drying.

This deep-pore purifying face wash combines maximum-strength salicylic acid with pore-refining niacinamide and soothing cucumber to address oily, blackhead-prone complexions while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin. It lathers to lift oil, makeup residue, and surface debris, supporting a clearer, more balanced appearance when used as part of a regular skincare routine.

How does this face wash clear and prevent breakouts?

The 2% salicylic acid penetrates into pores to loosen built-up sebum and dead skin cells, helping reduce the formations that lead to blackheads and pimples. Regular use helps reduce the frequency of new blemishes while keeping skin surface impurities in check.

• 2% salicylic acid for deep pore exfoliation
• Foaming action removes oil and dirt
• Daily-use formula designed to avoid excessive dryness

Will this work for sensitive or reactive skin?

This formula pairs active acne-fighting ingredients with calming botanicals like cucumber, aloe, sage, and mint to soothe irritation while treating blemishes. Niacinamide supports the skin barrier, which helps reduce redness and sensitivity associated with acne-prone skin.

• Niacinamide to refine pores and support barrier function
• Cucumber and aloe to help reduce inflammation
• Gentle foaming base formulated to limit irritation

How does it balance deep cleaning with gentle care?

The cleanser is formulated to remove oil, makeup, and debris without stripping skin of necessary moisture. Ingredients and texture are selected so the product feels cleansing yet comfortable, helping maintain hydrated, less reactive skin after washing.

• Deep-cleansing salicylic acid targets buildup
• Botanical extracts soothe and support moisture retention
• Non-drying lather suitable for everyday use

What results can I expect and how should I use it?

When used consistently as part of a morning or evening routine, you can expect clearer pores, fewer active blemishes, and a more even skin texture. For best results, massage a small amount onto wet skin, rinse thoroughly, and follow with moisturizer and targeted treatments as needed.

• Use once or twice daily, depending on tolerance
• Apply to damp skin, rinse well, and pat dry
• Follow with moisturizer and SPF during the day

It suits teens through adults seeking vegan, dermatologist-tested products that combine clinical-strength ingredients with calming botanicals for everyday use.
