Farmstay Cica Farm Acne Foam Cleanser

It's a daily cleansing foam for blemish-prone skin. It lifts away makeup, excess oil and pollution that build up through the day, while centella asiatica, tea tree and heartleaf help skin feel calm rather than tight. Used morning and evening, it leaves the complexion looking clearer and freshly clean without stripping the barrier.

Yes — it's formulated with blemish-prone and oily skin in mind. The soap-based lather removes the oil and build-up that can clog the look of pores, while tea tree and houttuynia help keep skin looking calm and even. It does contain fragrance, so if your skin is reactive, patch test first before daily use.

Yes, salicylic acid (BHA) sits in the formula. In a rinse-off cleanser it doesn't stay on skin long enough to exfoliate the way a leave-on BHA would; instead it supports the cleanser's clarifying feel during the wash. For dedicated exfoliation, follow with a leave-on BHA toner or serum a few times a week.

Once or twice a day suits most blemish-prone and oily skin — morning and evening. If your skin feels tight or dry, drop to once a day in the evening and use a gentler wash in the morning. Always follow with a toner and moisturiser, as cleansing alone can leave skin feeling bare.

"Cica" refers to Centella Asiatica, a botanical long valued for calming and soothing the look of skin. This cleanser contains Centella Asiatica extract along with madecassic acid, asiaticoside and asiatic acid — the centella compounds — plus tea tree and heartleaf. As a rinse-off product it's primarily a cleanser with a calming character rather than a leave-on treatment.

It's designed to clean without over-stripping: glycerin and butylene glycol help skin hold on to moisture, and the centella and botanical extracts keep it feeling comfortable. That said, any foaming cleanser can feel drying if overused, so follow with a hydrating toner and moisturiser and adjust frequency if your skin ever feels tight.

It removes light makeup, sunscreen and daily build-up well. For heavier or long-wear makeup and water-resistant SPF, cleanse first with an oil cleanser or micellar water, then use this foam as your second step. This double-cleanse leaves skin thoroughly clean and comfortable without needing to scrub at the skin.
