PCA SKIN Blemish Control Acne Cleanser Bar — 2% Salicylic Acid, Face & Body Bar, Eucalyptus for Oily/Combination Skin

PCA SKIN Blemish Control Acne Cleanser Bar is a dual-purpose face and body cleansing bar formulated with 2% salicylic acid and eucalyptus oil to help clear surface oil and impurities that contribute to breakouts.

This concentrated cleansing bar is designed for oily and combination skin types that need targeted cleansing from forehead to shoulders and back. The formula combines beta-hydroxy acid exfoliation with eucalyptus to support a refreshed, smoother feel while being free of synthetic dyes, fragrances, and parabens. Use it with the included sponge to build a creamy lather that cleanses pores and helps soften skin.

How should I use this bar for best results?

Use on damp skin to create a gentle lather with the enclosed sponge; leave the foam on treated areas briefly before rinsing. For stubborn breakouts, allow the lather to stay on the skin for about two minutes before rinsing with warm water. Follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer at night and a broad-spectrum SPF in the morning.

• Moisten sponge and bar to build lather
• Cleanse face or body, let lather sit ~2 minutes for targeted areas
• Rinse thoroughly and pat dry; apply SPF daytime

What active ingredients are in the formula and what do they do?

The bar contains 2% salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that helps loosen debris and excess oil in pores, plus azelaic acid derivatives and eucalyptus oil for skin comfort and a cleaner feel. These actives work together to support clearer-looking skin without added fragrances or dyes that can irritate sensitive complexions.

• 2% salicylic acid for oil-soluble exfoliation and pore cleansing
• Azelaic-acid components to help regulate surface texture
• Eucalyptus oil for a refreshing cleansing sensation

Can I use this on my body as well as my face?

Yes — the formulation is suitable for both facial and body acne-prone areas, such as the chest and back. The bar is concentrated to address larger areas while still being gentle enough for facial use on oily and combination skin types when used as directed.

• Compact bar for targeted body breakouts like back or chest
• Creates a creamy foam to cleanse large surface areas efficiently
• Free of parabens, fragrances, and synthetic dyes for broader tolerance

Will this dry out my skin?

The bar is formulated to remove excess oil and impurities while integrating ingredients that help soften the skin. Individuals with normal to dry skin should monitor use frequency and follow with a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain balance.

• Designed for oily and combination skin; may feel drying if overused
• Pair with a lightweight moisturizer to prevent tightness
• Adjust usage to skin response — start with once daily
