What coincidence for this cleanser and cream to arrive! My hormonal breakouts began to brew the evening before and I thought I was going to be in for another deep, hormonal pimple on the chin. I used the cleanser and cream in the evening instead of my normal go to and woke to fins that 50% of redness and pain was gone! I can't wait to see if it has the same, magical effects next month! I wanted to get the amazing part out in front first as I have a little concern/feedback about the packaging. I found it EXTREMELY difficult to workout what type of product I had and I struggled to decifer how to use each. I would love to see more English so I can make sure I'm using it the optimal way and understand what ingredients are present.

Reviews
I was glad I was chosen to review this product. My skin is quite sensitive and I have to be careful about choosing products, especially cleansers.
La Roche-Posay products have a good name and this is the first I have used, so was excited to see if it stood up to it's name. The cleanser came without a box, just the large upside down tube. It has the normal plain markings of mainly white with some blue on the outside of the tube. You can tell it's La Roche-Posay just by looking at it.
The product inside is white and it emulsifies with a little bit of water in the hands, applies easily to the face and doesn't seem to drip or make a mess. It felt good on my skin and actually did a brilliant job of removing my makeup including eye makeup as well as cleansing, I was quite pleasantly surprised at this as I wasn't sure that it would, as I wear a full face of makeup daily. My skin did not feel dry after washing it off, it actually felt quite moisturised. The smell is pleasant and not very strong which is great. I love that it helps to maintain the physiological pH of the skin as that is important to me and the added bonus of Niacinamide I think has made a bit of difference to the redness in my face, so extra bonus!
I also wanted to try this on my 10 year old daughter who has pre-teen acne and sensitive skin, unfortunately she reacted to it, so must have been an ingredient her skin didn't like so discontinued it.
I really like this cream cleanser, I will definitely continue using this on the daily along with the moisturiser that goes with it, I'm really happy with this cleanser! Win-win from me
Tips: Don't use too much - you really only need a small amount to emulsify and cleanse
My skin has been going through a messy period of change of late as I experience hormonal breakouts not seen since my early teenage years. As well as my skin being sensitive, I’m currently using a serum designed to combat oily, acne-prone skin as part of my skincare routine.
The La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream comes in a 200ml squeezable tube with a sturdy lid which doesn’t leak in my gym bag and is easy enough to open and close with wet hands.
I apply a pea-sized amount of the La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream to damp skin twice a day to cleanse my skin. The product is a pearly colour of a medium thickness and it effortlessly removes impurities, leaving my skin feeling absolutely amazing - soothed, fresh and glowy and not dried out. As a result it has also massively improved my skin texture and appearance.
This is the fifth cleanser I have tried this year as part of efforts to sort my skin out and it has been a game changer for how my skin looks and feels. I will 100% stick with this cleanser and repurchase it.
Tips: It pays to shop around - prices for this product appear to vary wildly between retailers.
Having used every acne treatment you can get your hands on, it's my skin needed some care, so I was grateful to trial the La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream.
First impressions - don't get it in your mouth, and a little goes a long way. I put a slightly bigger than pea-sized amount on my fingertips, rubbed them together and applied. It foamed up (which had me nervous, as I find foamy cleansers stripping), and easily cleaned my face - and the inside of my mouth. This is not a tasty cleanser - it's very perfume-y. The next time I halved the amount, kept my mouth firmly shut and had no problems.
Over the trial period, I found the cleanser did an excellent job of cleansing my skin, even on makeup days, and it didn't leave my skin dry or tight feeling. I also found that my acne cleared more quickly, and I saw a little reduction in redness.
What I love most about this cleanser is the size - it can be used for the body, but if you were to just use if for the face it would last a long time, which makes the $30 price tag extremely affordable.
I would absolutely buy it again, and would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend with skin similar to mine.
I love this product so much that I will be continuing adding it to my daily routine! I use in the morning and at night and noticed a difference within 3 days. I started getting smaller blemishes at first but they disappeared so just as fast as they came up. I could feel the cleanser working straight away on my face and the appearance was clearer, less redness and smooth looking! Very impressed! My blackheads also got smaller which was great.
Tips: A little goes along way. Use morning and night for best results
I loved using this cleanser, La Roche have really nailed it with this one. The formula feels lovely and silky, not at all too sticky or soapy. It did a really good job as my only nighttime cleanser and as a follow-up to my oil cleanser. I have fairly sensitive skin and I didn't get any stinging or tightness after using it which was great. My only gripe is that it isn't great at taking makeup off, especially eye makeup. I get that's not its intended purpose, but I do have other cleansers that are gentle and can take my mascara off as well. Not a biggie at all though, I'm happy to use a bit of micellar water first!
Tips: I found it worked best when I emulsified for 10-15 seconds in my hands first.
This cleanser has been so lovely to use. I often use a lot of different treatments on my skin depending on its needs (dryness, dullness, acne). My skin has been so dry this winter with a couple of scabby looking pimples. This cleanser was so gentle and did not make my face feel dry afterwards. I had a lot of redness with hormonal acne on my chin and this seemed to clear it up nicely. It has a very faint clean, almost spa smell but disappears as soon as it touches your skin. I LOVE the squeeze tube for hygiene reasons.
Tips: When you first open the bottle, don't squeeze too hard (I got a bit too excited and too much product came out). This would be great to use as a second cleanser if you double cleanse because it really gets i there and removes dirt and grime.
My doctor recommended this brand as my skin is oily but also sensitive. It's amazing! Skin feels more clean and fresh than with any other product, without drying you out. Good value as you only need a small amount so it goes a really long way. Pleasant on both your hands and face, without any smells which is great for those sensitive to fragrance. Packaging is sleek, looks expensive and upmarket. Would recommend for anyone looking for a daily cleanser that is easy on your skin and your wallet!
As a lifetime member of the troublesome skin club, I was super excited to try La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream. I have been using this product for a few weeks now and have noticed a massive difference in the appearance of my skin. Not only have I had fewer breakouts, but my blackheads are also not as prominent, and my skin looks much smoother than It has in a long time. The change in the appearance of my skin has led me to leave the house make-up free! The minimal packaging for this product is a plus for me, and the size of the cleansing cream is extremely generous, especially because a little goes a long way. If you suffer from troublesome skin like me, I would highly recommend treating yourself to some La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream.
This stuff really does what it says. It isn't drying at all. It has made my skin look and feel so much clearer. I'm recommending it to anyone who has dry skin and suffers from breakouts.
