PCA SKIN Hydrating Face Wash for Oily Skin — 7 fl oz Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Lactic Acid & Aloe

PCA SKIN Hydrating Face Wash for Oily Skin is a gentle, foaming cleanser formulated to remove makeup, excess oil, and impurities while supporting clearer, balanced skin.

This lightweight cleanser uses exfoliating and soothing ingredients to refresh oily and combination complexions without stripping natural moisture. It blends lactic acid, aloe, and gluconolactone to help slough away dead skin cells, calm irritation, and reduce the look of breakouts. Free from synthetic dyes, fragrances, mineral oil, lanolin, phthalates, and parabens, the formula is designed for everyday use and pairs cleanly with toners, serums, moisturizers, and SPF.

How does this face wash control oil without over-drying?

The cleanser balances cleansing strength with hydrating support so skin feels clean but not tight. Gentle surfactants remove surface oil and makeup while lactic acid and gluconolactone offer mild exfoliation to prevent pore congestion. Aloe helps retain comfort and reduces the risk of irritation during regular use.

• Mild foaming action lifts excess sebum and grime.
• Lactic acid provides gentle chemical exfoliation for smoother texture.
• Gluconolactone supports skin barrier function and gradual renewal.
• Aloe soothes redness and calms sensitive areas.

Will this cleanser help minimize breakouts?

This face wash targets the surface contributors to blemishes—oil, dirt, and dead skin—reducing the conditions where breakouts form. Regular use helps keep pores clearer and reduces buildup that can lead to clogged follicles. It’s not a spot-treatment but supports clearer skin when incorporated into a routine.

• Removes makeup and environmental impurities that can trigger breakouts.
• Exfoliating acids help prevent pore blockage and surface congestion.
• Non-irritating formulation suitable for breakout-prone, combination skin.

How should I use this cleanser in my daily skincare routine?

Use morning and evening on damp skin: massage a small amount into a gentle lather and rinse with warm water before patting dry. Follow with your preferred toner, serum, and SPF in the morning, and a nourishing moisturizer at night to maintain hydration. Avoid over-cleansing; one thorough wash is typically sufficient.

• Apply to damp skin and work into a light foam.
• Rinse completely and pat skin dry—do not rub harshly.
• Pair with hydrating serums and daily SPF for best results.

Is this product safe for sensitive or combination skin?

The formula omits common irritants like synthetic fragrances, dyes, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, and lanolin, making it suitable for many with reactive skin. Its gentle exfoliants are lower-strength and buffered by soothing aloe, but patch testing is recommended for highly sensitive skin. For known allergies, review the ingredient list before first use.

• Free from fragrance and common sensitizing additives.
• Contains soothing aloe to reduce inflammation and redness.
• Appropriate for combination skin; consult a professional for extreme sensitivity.
