Product Info
PCA Skin Facial Wash Oily/Problem – A purifying, lightly foaming cleanser for oily and breakout-prone skin that removes excess oil, makeup and impurities while lactic acid and gluconolactone gently exfoliate.
  • Lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, gently exfoliates and moisturizes to help keep pores clear
  • Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid (PHA), calms and moisturizes while supporting a clearer-looking complexion
  • Aloe vera leaf juice softens and soothes skin that's prone to irritation
  • Cleanses deeply without stripping, leaving skin refreshed rather than tight
  • Short, fragrance-free formula that suits oily and combination skin
Who benefits? Oily, combination and blemish-prone skin that wants a daily cleanser with built-in gentle exfoliation, without the harshness of a stripping foaming wash.
How to Use

Step 1: Apply a dime-sized amount to damp skin.
Step 2: Massage into a foaming lather using gentle circular motions, concentrating on the T-zone.
Step 3: Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Step 4: Follow with toner, treatment serums and moisturizer, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the daytime. Use morning and night.

Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Contains alpha and polyhydroxy acids, so use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

Gentle Acids for Clearer Skin

Key Ingredients

Calming PHA
Gluconolactone

Calming PHA

A polyhydroxy acid that PCA Skin describes as a calming, moisturizing ingredient that promotes a clear complexion. Its larger molecule exfoliates gently at the surface, which makes it well tolerated by reactive, breakout-prone skin.

Lactic Acid
Gentle Exfoliation

Lactic Acid

An alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates and moisturizes the skin, loosening the dull surface buildup that can contribute to clogged pores and an uneven texture.

Aloe Vera Leaf Juice
Softening & Soothing

Aloe Vera Leaf Juice

Aloe barbadensis leaf juice provides skin-softening and soothing benefits, helping oily, blemish-prone skin feel comfortable after cleansing.

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before choosing, using, and caring for your skin with Purity products.

Explore Help Center
How is this different from the regular Facial Wash?

Both are lightly foaming PCA Skin cleansers with lactic acid. Facial Wash Oily/Problem adds gluconolactone, a PHA, for extra purifying exfoliation and is made for oily, breakout-prone skin. Facial Wash adds aloe vera, allantoin and willow bark extract and is designed for normal, combination and sensitive skin.

Is it an acne treatment?

It's a cosmetic cleanser, not a medicated acne wash, so it contains no salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. PCA Skin formulated it to gently exfoliate and purify oily, breakout-prone skin. If you have active breakouts, follow it with a targeted treatment such as PCA Skin Acne Gel, and see a provider for persistent or cystic acne.

Will it dry out my skin?

It's designed to cleanse deeply without stripping. Gluconolactone, glycerin and aloe vera help keep skin comfortable. If your skin feels tight, especially when you're also using retinoids or other exfoliants, cut back to once a day and make sure you're using a moisturizer.

Can I use it with retinol or acne treatments?

Yes, it's a rinse-off cleanser with mild acids, so it layers easily before serums and treatments. If you use a prescription retinoid or several exfoliating products and notice stinging or flaking, use it once a day and check with your provider or prescriber.

Does it work for combination skin?

Yes. PCA Skin recommends it for oily and combination skin. Concentrate the lather on the T-zone, where oil and congestion tend to build up, and rinse thoroughly.

How long does a bottle last?

You only need a dime-sized amount, so a 7 fl oz bottle used morning and night typically lasts around three to four months, depending on how much you use.
