Three Ships Refresh Papaya + Salicylic Acid Cleanser (3.4 fl oz) — Gentle Foam for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin, Brightening & Pore-Refin

Three Ships Refresh Papaya + Salicylic Acid Cleanser is a gentle foaming face wash that lifts makeup and excess oil while helping clear and refine congested pores with salicylic acid and papaya extract.

This cleanser combines plant-derived papaya enzymes with a natural source of salicylic acid to create a daily face wash that feels refreshing without stripping. Formulated to work for oily and acne-prone skin types, it foams to remove surface impurities and helps support a clearer-looking complexion when used consistently as the first step in your routine.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and oil without over-drying?

The foaming formula is balanced to dissolve and lift makeup, sunscreen and sebum while glycerin and skin-friendly humectants help preserve moisture. It cleans effectively but is formulated without harsh sulfates that can leave skin tight.

• Foaming action breaks up makeup and surface oil for thorough cleansing
• Gentle surfactants avoid excessive dryness or irritation
• Humectants help retain hydration after rinsing

What role does salicylic acid play in this product?

Salicylic acid is included for its ability to penetrate into pores and help loosen buildup that contributes to congestion. In this formulation it supports clearer-looking skin alongside routine topical care, designed for once-daily use to reduce surface pore blockages.

• Beta hydroxy acid helps dissolve excess oil and dead skin cells in pores
• Works best as a consistent, daily step—not an overnight guaranteed fix
• Suitable to pair with toners and serums in a full routine

How does papaya extract benefit skin tone and texture?

Papaya extract contributes natural enzymes and botanical support that help brighten and smooth the skin’s appearance. The extract works alongside cleansing and exfoliating ingredients to promote a more even surface texture when used regularly.

• Papaya-derived enzymes assist in gentle surface exfoliation
• Helps improve the look of uneven texture and dullness
• Plant-derived actives keep the formulation vegan and cruelty-free

How should I use the Refresh Cleanser in my skincare routine?

Use 1–2 pumps on damp skin as the first step of your morning or evening routine. Massage gently in circular motions, then rinse and follow with toner, serum and moisturizer suited to your skin type.

• Apply to wet face, massage 30–60 seconds, rinse thoroughly
• Recommended once daily; observe skin tolerance before increasing frequency
• Layer with hydrating or targeted treatments after cleansing

Who is this for: Refresh Cleanser is aimed at people with oily, combination or acne-prone skin who want a plant-forward, cruelty-free cleanser with salicylic acid and papaya extract. It’s a good fit for anyone looking to reduce excess oil and unclog pores without harsh sulfates or animal-derived ingredients, and for those who prefer transparent, vegan formulations from a results-focused brand.
