Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory face wash that creates a rich, delicate foam — thoroughly removes dirt and excess sebum from pores without leaving skin tight.
$11.89 $15.99 25% OFF
Harsh cleansers strip your skin barrier. Gentle ones don't clean deep enough. Acne-prone skin needs a cleanser that does both — clean thoroughly and protect.
Strong foaming agents strip natural oils, triggering even more sebum production. Your skin overcompensates and breakouts get worse.
Mild cleansers feel nice but don't remove pore-clogging dirt and sebum. The buildup feeds bacteria and new pimples form overnight.
After washing, your face feels like it's been stretched. That tightness means your cleanser is too aggressive for acne-prone skin.
Cleanse, break out, switch products, repeat. Without antibacterial action at the cleansing step, you're just moving dirt around.
Lather in palms with water, massage gently on face, rinse thoroughly. Use morning and evening for best results.
Wash away overnight sebum and bacteria buildup. Start the day with clean, balanced skin ready for sunscreen and makeup.
After removing makeup, use as your second cleanse. The antibacterial foam removes the day's grime from deep within pores.
Sweat mixed with sebum is a breakout recipe. A quick wash with PAIR foam clears pores before bacteria can settle in.
Use before applying PAIR Acne Treatment Cream for the complete acne-fighting routine. Clean pores absorb treatment better.

Get the most out of your purchase with these practical tips
Rinse with lukewarm water before applying the foam. Hot water strips natural oils and irritates acne-prone skin, while cold water doesn't open pores enough for a deep clean.
Squeeze a small amount into wet palms and work into a rich foam first. Apply the foam — not the raw product — to your face. This prevents concentrated ingredients from irritating one spot.
Gently massage the foam for 30-60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Leaving a cleanser on too long disrupts the skin barrier. The active ingredients work during contact, not during extended wear.
Acne-facing ingredients can increase sun sensitivity. After cleansing, apply a lightweight moisturizer and SPF 30+ sunscreen during the day to protect healing skin.
