Description

Clear Your Skin with Maximum Strength Salicylic Acid: Take control of acne breakouts with Pacifica’s Acne Defense Face Wash, a deep pore purifying cleanser loaded with 2% salicylic acid. This maximum OTC strength beta-hydroxy acid goes deep into pores to unclog them, effectively removing acne-causing oil and debris. Watch as blackheads, whiteheads, and active pimples are reduced with regular use of this cleanser. It’s the ultimate acne face wash for anyone seeking a clearer, smoother complexion without the harsh irritation.Purifies Pores Without Over-Drying: Enjoy a satisfying clean! This foaming face wash lifts away the day’s dirt, makeup, and excess sebum from your skin, giving you a fresh start morning and night. Despite its power to decongest pores and combat blemishes, the formula is carefully balanced so it won’t strip your skin’s natural moisture. You’ll feel clean and refreshed, not tight and flaky – an ideal choice for oily, combination, and even sensitive skin types that need a thorough cleanse with a gentle touch.Soothing Botanicals & Niacinamide: While many acne treatments can be harsh, Pacifica’s Acne Defense cleanser stands out with its blend of calming, skin-loving ingredients. Niacinamide helps minimize the look of enlarged pores and supports an even skin tone, addressing post-acne marks. Meanwhile, natural extracts of cucumber, sage, and mint deliver a cooling sensation that calms redness and inflammation. The result is skin that not only looks clearer but also feels soothed and cared for during the acne-fighting process.Clean, Gentle & Dermatologist Tested: We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between effective acne care and gentle ingredients. This face wash is dermatologist tested and formulated to align with Pacifica’s strict clean beauty guidelines – no parabens, phthalates, sulfates, or mineral oil. It’s also 100% vegan and cruelty-free, like all our products. Whether you’re a teen battling breakouts or an adult dealing with occasional acne, Pacifica Acne Defense Face Wash gives you a compassionate cleansing option that really works. Embrace a clearer complexion with confidence, knowing your skincare is as kind as it is powerful.

  • Sea foam calm for skin and soul
Scent: Salt Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cleanser is pure ocean breeze in a bottle. With coconut water and sea algae complex, it gently foams without stripping—making it ideal for combination or oily skin (especially after long homeschool days or outdoor errands). I love that it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens or sulfates—a real win for sensitive routines. The $11.99 price tag makes it feel luxe without the splurge, and with 4.5 stars across 8,499 reviews and 4,000+ purchases last month, it clearly rinses away both dirt and doubt. Ours was first scooped up back on December 29th, and it’s held steady as a go-to, especially with its breezy scent and clean ingredient list. If you’re seeking a gentle daily cleanse with tropical charm and ethical heart, Pacifica’s Sea Foam is worth the dip. ... show more

  • Best face wash I have ever used
Scent: Coconut Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this product. Bought originally at Ulta beauty. Amazon is a better price. Love the cream to foam. Feels so good and cleans your face so well. Your face feels clean and moisturized after using. The Coconut scent is mild and sooo good.

  • Perfect wash!
Scent: Peach Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Perfect for removing makeup! (I use 1-2 pumps in a soft bamboo washcloth to take my makeup off) Does not leave my skin too dry even after double cleansing. (This cleanser is my first in the double cleanse process after this one I use a salicylic acid cleanser) Does not irritate my eyes. Also, smells heavenly. ... show more

  • Great for Travel
Scent: 3-Pack Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Package is easy to open & bottles are sealed. They all smell great! I am excited to use them all throught the day. I live in the Bronx & walk a lot and noticed too much aging due to the toxicities. ....stand by for an update. Used the orange bottle to wash my face two days already. Use less than a dime size so it'll foam up & turn white, otherwise it looks like turmeric & does get on your towels. My face looks & feels amazing! ... show more

  • Love this face wash!
Scent: Glow Baby Brightening Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I got this as a travel size and loved it so I got the full size bottle. For the price I think this is a really great face wash, a little bit goes a long way and I can see it lasting a long time too. Seriously, I use a little pea size amount for my whole face. I wouldn’t use this for treating acne, but it does a good job at making my skin look even, brighter, and softer! I haven’t tried it for makeup removal, but it does get pretty sudsy and I think it would be good for that. Lastly, the SMELL!!! I absolutely love it!! After using face washes that smell kinda like chemicals, it’s great to have something that smells good, but not fake or like perfume. My only complaint is the cap gets grimy and yellow after using it a while, I think this product would be a lot better if it didn’t stand on the cap and had some kind of a pump. That being said, I do really appreciate the size, it is very easy to travel with. ... show more

  • Just a phenomenal cleanser
Scent: Salt Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The seafoam cleanser is incredible. I don't think I'll be using anything else but this cleanser from now on, because it removes makeup, makes my skin feel fresh and clean, does not dry out my skin, seems to be preventing small breakouts, and basically does everything I need it to without having to use multiple products. It also is soothing and makes a terrific lather. I love it and hope that it never changes! ... show more

  • Pacifica Melt for You moisturizing oil cleanser.
Scent: Peach Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This a fantastic light weight cleanser for the face. My face has never felt so clean, smooth and soft after an oil cleanser. The pores are minimized and skin is soft as baby skin, no residue no anything. It has a gentle peach fragrance which increases the spa like experience. I apply 2 pumps to my face & neck wet my hands to create a foamy lather and rinse off with a very warm wet cloth. I follow up with Anua 77+peach conditioning milk as well as the Anua Peach 77+ Niacin enriched cream for my bedtime ritual. All purchased on Amazon. My face feels super clean, and moisturized. Not oily. ... show more

  • Great fragrance, needs a longer nozzle.
Scent: Coconut Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This facial cleanser has a nice coconut fragrance and is very gentle. I do not like the short pump dispenser. The foam comes out close to the bottle so I have to wipe my finger or hand on the bottle to use all the product that comes out. I wash my face in the shower which makes it rather impossible to hold the bottle with one hand to angle the nozzle to my other hand. The wet bottle slips out of my hand. I have to leave it on the edge of the shower to pump out the cleanser. The cleanser doesn't make my face feel as clean as other products do but I tend to have oily/combo skin so it may be great for someone with dry skin. ... show more
