I have combination skin, dry at the edges and oily in the middle. The oiliness means I definitely look for a gentle but thorough cleanser, and this definitely does the job. I notice that my skin is incredibly soft after use, but does not feel stripped the way some cleansers have left it in the past. I have noticed it also doesn’t irritate my breakouts and does help clear them up. This also unclogs the pores in my nose really well. I’m on my third bottle and will repurchase once this one is done.

Tips: This is gentle enough to double cleanse with! I like to make sure I’ve gone over my T-zone twice when washing my face since that’s my trouble area and it really gets it all out.
My skin has been in a terrible state over this stinking hot summer. I also work in an extremely hot environment which doesn't help. I was getting lots of breakouts, especially on my forehead and chin. It makes me feel so self conscious and I feel like putting makeup on top can make it look even worse especially when you are sweating.
I have tried La Roche-posay products before thanks to BR, so when I did a bit of research and saw they sold acne products I was intrigued. I read numerous reviews with most being really positive so decided I needed to give this a go.
I purchase the anti acne kit as it works out a lot cheaper at $65 for cleanser, toner and moisturiser. It comes in an attractive blue squeezy tube with a flip top lid. It can be hard to squeeze out but I like it as you don't get wastage. The gel is clear and has a fresh scent, sometimes it smells like lemons to me.
I use a small amount and apply to a wet face, massaging around into a foam. I like to really concentrate on any areas which have breakouts especially. I have sensitive skin and get no reaction from this, yay! However the first couple of weeks I experienced weird dry areas in a few places, the corners of my mouth, around my nose and on my eyelids. Fortunately this stopped and I have not had it happen again.
The results from this are amazing. My skin was literally clearer in a few days, it looks less red and looks healthy and soft. It definitely does not make my skin feel tight. I have hardly had any outbreaks since using this, if I do get one it is tiny and only lasts a couple days. I am in love with this cleanser and have already ordered 2 more kits so I don't run out. If you want clear skin you need to try this!
A little goes a long way and your skin isn't stripped of moisture after. I'd recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin as it's only lightly scented
Tips: use a toner afterwards
Having been selected to suffer with adult acne I needed a face wash that was going to assist in caring for that, and equally protect my ageing skin. Damn this is the good stuff! A little goes a long way and it foams up just beautifully and leaves the skin feeling so fresh & cleansed with that tightened shine look (in a positive sense!).
Tips: A little goes a long way!
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.
Tips: Can wash it off with a face cloth for extra exfoliation
Great gentle cleanser, my skin is sensitive so works great. Good price for a french brand, lasts ages.
Tips: Use only x1 per day to avoid stripping skin
I’ve been a big fan of this brand for a long time, and this has been my go to cleanser for over 3 years. Nothing else I try beats this one. It’s not irritating, doesn’t dry out my skin, has a lovely gel-like formula, and the bottle lasts forever! Definitely helps with acne and can notice a difference when I’m not using this cleanser. Will always repurchase this one.
Tips: If you’re struggling with spots and acne, try the La Roche-Posay effaclar range! I recommend to everyone and it has worked wonders for me!
This product was very effective, have repurchased several times and will continue too. I have recommended to several friend and all have enjoyed, I have used this four the last 6 months and skin has been so clear
ive always been a fan of this brand and thats for a reason!!!! this brand always makes my skin look amazing. this cleanser is at the top of this brands products.it helped with my ance heaps and i really love the bottle it comes in.
I really enjoyed this product!
The packing is in a tube style. It's solid, good quality and an attractive blue. It looks similar to my salon products. The cap is nice and secure. When squeezing product out, it comes out slowly through a small hole so no overload and wasted product - you don't need much!
A little product gives a good lather and made my face feel nice and clean without feeling tight or stripped.
I have sensitive skin when it comes to cleanser and I found this really comfortable.
It is not heavily scented and feels nice and fresh. I felt my skin had a nice glow after using - I really loved this cleanser and will absolutely buy again!
