PCA SKIN 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Face Wash — 7 oz Foaming Acne Cleanser for Oily, Calming Exfoliation

This daily facial wash combines a 5% benzoyl peroxide treatment with gentle botanical extracts to provide antibacterial action, light exfoliation, and soothing hydration. The formula targets clogged pores, blackheads, and inflammatory blemishes without harsh fragrances or parabens. Use as part of a consistent skincare routine to cleanse, refresh, and support a clearer complexion.

How does this face wash address both current acne and future breakouts?

The benzoyl peroxide works to reduce acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface and within pores, while complementary ingredients promote gentle exfoliation and moisture balance. Together they reduce visible blemishes and help create an environment less prone to new breakouts.

• Contains 5% benzoyl peroxide for antibacterial action
• Phytic acid offers gentle chemical exfoliation
• Gluconolactone helps soothe and hydrate post-cleanse

Will this cleanser be too drying for oily, acne-prone skin?

Formulated to balance clarifying power with calming botanicals, the wash cleans without stripping. It removes excess oil and impurities while gluconolactone and plant extracts help retain moisture and reduce irritation common with harsher acne treatments.

• Foaming texture lifts oil and debris without over-drying
• Botanical extracts soothe redness and discomfort
• Free of synthetic dyes, fragrances, and parabens to minimize irritation

How should I use this benzoyl peroxide cleanser for best results?

Apply a dime-sized amount to damp skin and massage into a lather using gentle circular motions. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a lightweight moisturizer; use consistently as part of your morning or evening routine or as directed by a skincare professional.

• Use on damp skin for even coverage and effective lather
• Rinse well and pat skin dry before moisturizing
• Start with once daily, increase frequency based on tolerance

Can I expect instant exfoliation and clarifying effects?

The cleanser delivers immediate surface exfoliation thanks to phytic acid, which helps slough away dead skin cells, while benzoyl peroxide begins reducing bacteria right away. Results vary by skin type; consistent use supports clearer pores and a smoother texture over time.

• Instant lift of dead skin cells for brighter-feeling skin
• Clarifying action targets blackheads and comedones
• Continued use supports fewer breakouts and improved texture
