PCA SKIN Blemish Control Acne Cleanser Bar — 2% Salicylic Acid, Eucalyptus, 3.2 fl oz — Face & Body Bar for Oily/Combination Skin

PCA SKIN Blemish Control Acne Cleanser Bar is a concentrated face and body wash with 2% salicylic acid and eucalyptus oil designed to help clear and reduce visible breakouts.

This cleanser bar targets oil and debris in pores while offering a gentle, skin-softening lather suitable for acne-prone areas from the forehead to the back. Formulated for oily and combination skin types, the bar combines beta hydroxy acid and botanical support to help keep blemishes under control without synthetic dyes, fragrances, or parabens. Use with the included sponge to build a creamy foam and follow recommended timing to optimize exfoliating benefits.

How does this cleanser work on both face and body?

The formula uses 2% salicylic acid to penetrate pores and help loosen trapped oil and dead skin cells, while eucalyptus oil contributes to a refreshed cleansing experience. Its solid-bar format makes it easy to target small or large areas—cheeks, chest, shoulders, and back—without excess product waste. The mild lather helps remove surface impurities and leaves skin prepped for follow-up treatments or moisturizers.

• 2% salicylic acid (BHA) helps exfoliate inside pores
• Eucalyptus oil supports a clean, cooling sensation
• Bar form enables precise application and travel-friendly use
• Works for both facial and body blemishes

Will it irritate sensitive or dry skin?

The bar is formulated for oily and combination skin, so those with sensitive or very dry skin should proceed cautiously. It is free of synthetic dyes, added fragrance, and parabens, which reduces the chance of irritation, but salicylic acid can still dry or sensitize skin if used too frequently. Start by using it on affected areas a few times per week and follow with a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer and sunscreen during daytime use.

• Fragrance-free and dye-free to lower irritation risk
• Start with short contact times to assess tolerance
• Follow with moisturizer at night and SPF in the morning
• Best suited for oily and combination skin types

How do I use the bar for best results?

Moisten the enclosed sponge and rub the bar to create a creamy, stable lather. Gently cleanse the targeted area, allowing the lather to remain on the skin for about two minutes before rinsing to let the salicylic acid work without over-drying. Use as part of a routine: daytime SPF after rinsing, evening moisturizer to restore hydration.

• Wet sponge, lather bar, apply to wet skin
• Leave foam on blemished areas for ~2 minutes, then rinse
• Use morning/evening as tolerated; adjust frequency for sensitivity
• Pat skin dry and follow with sunscreen or moisturizer accordingly

What other actives are included and what do they do?

In addition to salicylic acid, the formula contains azelaic acid and eucalyptus oil—azelaic acid can help even skin texture while eucalyptus provides a clarifying aroma and sensation. These ingredients together aim to purify pores, balance oiliness, and soften skin without unnecessary additives. The combination supports both immediate cleansing and ongoing blemish management when used consistently.

• Azelaic acid for balanced skin tone and texture support
• Eucalyptus oil for a cooling, clarifying effect
• Salicylic acid for pore exfoliation and oil control
• No parabens, synthetic dyes, or fragrances

Who this is for: This PCA SKIN cleanser bar is intended for people with oily or combination skin who want a travel-friendly, effective product to address breakouts on the face and body. If you regularly experience clogged pores, back or chest blemishes, or excess shine, the concentrated 2% salicylic acid formula offers targeted exfoliation and cleansing. Those with very dry or highly sensitive skin should introduce it slowly and pair it with calming moisturizers and daytime SPF.
