Our Pava Exfoliating Cleanser takes its name from the papaya and guava extracts inside it. The creamy formula lifts away the day without stripping your skin of moisture, while lychee seed powder polishes gently and a hint of mint leaves you feeling cool and awake. A clarifying glycolic acid cleanser made for textured or uneven skin, with none of the tightness after.

This formula is suitable for most skin types. Thanks to the gentle blend of fruit enzymes, physical exfoliants and effective actives, it works well for both normal and combination skin. If you have sensitive skin, we always recommend doing a patch test before use.
While the Pava Exfoliating Cleanser is gentle enough for daily use, we recommend starting 2–3 times per week if you’re new to exfoliants like glycolic acid. Gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
The scent is naturally derived from plant-based ingredients, giving it a fresh, light, minty aroma—without any synthetic fragrance.

I will never buy another face wash. This is the perfect daily gentle-scrub that is not drying and leaves my skin plump and glowing. The best part is the mint ingredient that opens up my sinuses and is so very therapeutic - it wakes me up and makes me feel so fresh and so clean!
My skin is smoother and more healthy looking than ever. Sweet July products really work. My skin feels soft, fresh and free of blemishes.
Loving the Pava exfoliating wash. I have sensitive skin and almost everything makes me red. This wash did not at all!!! I’ve been using it for a couple weeks now and already notice clearer and glowing skin! It will be my new go to!
I love, love the entire line of Sweet July exfoliate Cleanser. A little goes a long ways. I just add a dime size to my finger and it glides so smooth on my face. If feels like a mint feeling and I can feel it cleansing my pores. I follow up next with the toner which feels magnificent and it smells wonderful. Then, I apply the serum which feels so smooth. Lastly, I apply the Castaway cream which just tops off your face and it looks so hydrated & radiant. You're skin feels so soft an luxurious! Thanks Ayesha for creating wonderful skin care products that work and are not harmful to your skin. I am 53 yrs old and will be using these products for the rest of my life. Until next time....A Happy Customer!😊
i have very mild rosacea & need to be careful of exfoliating products. This does not irritate my skin at all and i love the cooling effect on my skin.
I haven't used it yet, but it smells great and I can tell I'm gonna love it. None of the "exfoliating" cleansers I've bought recently actually have the rough seeds or beads or whatever to actually exfoliate 😅 It's weird. But this one does! Exactly what I was looking for!
Love the exfoliating cleanser! It feels smooth and creamy but also has a gentle scrub that feels like I’m getting a thorough cleanse.
Too harsh for my skin. After 3 uses my skin is now irritated and itchy.
My FAV ... smells awesome and feels great on my skin. Love to use this product daily and it wakes me up in the morning by the scent and i love the exfoliation beads embedded. Exceeded my expectations and my skin looks and feels amazing.
Leaves your skin feeling fresh and tingling. Love it.
Been only using this for a week and I’m already obsessed! Nice, clean tingly feeling. My face looks brighter after using it.
My skin felt smooth and soft after using I would re-order and recommend Too bad the headband is over $20
Excellent product!
The Sweet July cleanser is an amazing product. My face feels so wonderfully soft and hydrated! Love this product. I highly recommend you try it.
Really enjoy the product
When I tried this product I was amazed at first by the pleasant smell, Loved It! I then enjoyed the gentle exfoliation, I could feel it but it wasn't harsh. Very Pleased with this product. A little pricey but worth it.
Unfortunately this cleanser contains AHA which from my experience causes me to break out, I should have checked the ingredients fully before buying the set lol but overall, when I used it the first time my face did feel clean, smooth and exfoliated. It's just not good for my skin.
Love it so much!
I saw these products featured on CBS morning show and love them. The exfoliating gel works well but is still gentle.
Wonderful ingredients and works well.
I will continue to purchase
I love this cleanser! The cooling sensation is my favorite part. I have an immediately clean feel to my skin, this cleanser has been added this to my daily products and I will be ordering more!
Absolutely love this product, its minty fresh on my skin…glad I found!
Love love these products at 60 my skin looks like I am in my 40’s ever since I started using them. Only thing I need is a sunscreen.
The Sweet July skin products are just perfect for my 71 year old skin type. 😀 I’m enjoying the full effects of each product used to create the cleanser, serums, oils, and eye cream. My skin glows all day!!
Feels and smells amazing!
i love the smell and how refreshing it feels on my face.
I love the cleanser! My skin is smoother, brighter, more even toned. My husband is loving the product as well.
Cleanser is great. Softer skin. Moisturizer leaves me a little in some areas.
Make my skin feel so soft and smells so clean.
I love your Pava Exfoliating Cleanser. I also place some on a wash rag that I use for my feet and scrub my feet with the Pava Exfoliating Cleanser. My socks still have that fragrance after taking them off in the evening. Maybe you can make an exfoliating cleanser with that same fragrance for the feet.
I like the light scrub and it smells great! I will be ordering again!
I’m loving the entire sweet July skin 5 step routine! It simple yet effective and leaves my skin so soft, glowy and dewy. Paired with my retinols from my dermatologist my skin feels gentle and non irritated. Super happy about giving the entire product line a try over the last month 🤍 Thanks Sweet July
Smells amazing makes me wanna wash my face everyday
Best facial scrub ever!
Love the products I have purchased from Sweet July. I have sestive skin and skin is easily irritated from the use of certain products. The products I use from Sweet July do no not irritate my skin at all.My complexion is even and I know my skin is benefiting from the use of the products.
Absolutely LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!! Super excited about trying the Eye cream and additional products from Sweet July ♥️ Thank you so much!!!!
