This 1988 Sea Breeze ad uses a comic-strip style to show a cartoon woman in a red swimsuit being swept away by a wave of "dirt," "oil," and "makeup" text, while a lifeguard flexes and offers the product as her rescue. The playful superhero framing turns a simple face-cleansing astringent into an action-packed beach rescue.
