La Roche Posay® Effaclar Foaming Gel Reviews

I have used a few of La Roche Posay's products and absolutely love them! However the Effaclar foaming gel wasn't one of them. I bought it when I had really bad acne, and while it stopped more from coming, it didn't do much greatness for my skin. I was getting very very dry, red and flakey - which I wasn't expecting from La Roche Posay.

The La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Gel Cleanser is made of thermal spring water which La Roche Posay claim will rehydrate and provide calm your skin. I found it easy to use from the squeeze tube and I little was enough to wash my face and neck with a foamy lather. It cleaned my face easily and no greasiness was experienced and made my face feel effectively cleaned.

The product had a subtle fragrance but as I am using it in the shower it did not make a difference. I found that my face was left refreshed and ready to apply my moisturiser. However, it just so happened that I had a bit of break out over my face during the same time I started using the product. I can’t say that it was due to the use of the product or that it was coincidental (rarely get breakouts).

The product was really easy to use and has a flip cap that seals easily, I have taken the product with me on travelling and had no spillage. The easy to use squeeze tube was ideal for a facewash. The product itself is watery and light and spreads easily. It fits in easily with my lifestyle and thought it was a great addition to the rest of my La Roche products. A little bit does a go a long way and using it every morning and night I expect the product to last for a few months.

The product is targeted for people with oily, blemish or/and acne-prone skin. The foaming body and facial wash are specially formulated for persistent and stubborn imperfections. Currently, it is far and in between that I have breakouts, but still find that this was a great product. Retails for between $28 and $35 for 200ml. It is quite expensive for a face wash. However, I could feel the removal of dead skin cell and have unclogged my pores and it left my skin soft, clean and refreshed.

Nice product packaging is great especially colour of tube but dried my skin out and it caused me to breakout. The gel was a nice consistency smelt nice and foamed really easily. It made my oily skin feel soft but had to alternate between this and another cream cleanser I use to help clear up the breakouts. I stopped using it and moved over to another foam facial cleanser which i love and gives far better results although being a foam cleanser does dry my skin out a bit which is a shame. I still have almost a full tube.

I’ve been using this cleanser for the past 2 years and absolutely love it. Doesn’t dry out my skin and leaves me feeling so clean and fresh.

This worked great on my pimple prone skin. It smells nice and leaves your skin feeling good afterwards.

Great gentle cleanser, my skin is sensitive so works great. Good price for a french brand, lasts ages.
