La Roche-Posay Effaclar A Gentle Yet Effective Cleanser for Oily Skin
I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser, and it’s a solid choice for anyone with oily, acne-prone, or combination skin. This cleanser provides a deep yet gentle cleanse without leaving the skin feeling tight or dry.Pros:✔ Effectively Removes Excess Oil – Leaves the skin feeling clean and refreshed without stripping it.✔ Gentle & Soap-Free Formula – Contains zinc PCA, which helps regulate oil production and reduce breakouts.✔ Soothes & Calms Skin – Infused with thermal spring water, making it great for sensitive skin.✔ Non-Comedogenic & Fragrance-Free – Won’t clog pores, and the mild scent is pleasant without being overpowering.Cons:✖ Not Hydrating Enough for Dry Skin – If your skin is combination with dry areas, you may need a more hydrating cleanser.✖ Might Not Remove Heavy Makeup – Best as a morning cleanser or a second cleanse if you wear makeup.Final Thoughts:If you struggle with excess oil, shine, or breakouts, this is a great daily cleanser to keep your skin balanced. It cleans deeply without irritation, making it ideal for sensitive, acne-prone skin.

Bye-bye, greasy face! Finally, a cleanser that doesn’t strip my skin.
For months (maybe years!), I was fighting a constant oil slick on my face. Every morning, I’d wake up looking like I had applied a layer of cooking oil. I tried countless products: from harsh bar soaps that left my skin feeling like sandpaper, to super gentle cleansers that did absolutely nothing to combat the shine. It was frustrating; I felt like my skin needed an urgent solution.After doing a deep dive into reviews, I decided to give this La Roche-Posay gel a shot. And let me tell you, from the very first use, I could tell the difference.What surprised me the most was the texture. It lathers into a soft, silky foam that feels gentle on the skin. As I massaged it in, I could feel it thoroughly removing all that built-up excess oil and dirt, but in a respectful way. When I rinsed it off, the feeling was incredible: my face was completely clean, fresh, and most importantly, totally grease-free! I’m not kidding, when I dried my face with the towel, there wasn’t a trace of shine left.The best part? Unlike other cleansers that over-dry your skin, this one didn’t leave my face feeling tight or irritated. It was clean, yes, but comfortable. Since I started using it, my skin is much more balanced in the mornings, and shine is no longer the star of my day.If you have oily skin and feel like you need a product that truly delivers on its promise, give this one a try. For me, it was the lifesaver my complexion was waiting for.

Simple, effective cleanser for postpartum acne (morning use)
This cleanser was recommended by my dermatologist for postpartum acne. I use it once a day in the morning, and it has worked well for my skin.The gel creates a light foam and cleans thoroughly without stripping or causing dryness. My skin feels clean and balanced after washing, not tight or irritated. It helps control excess oil while still being gentle, which is important for acne-prone skin.I haven’t experienced any irritation or breakouts while using it. The formula feels mild, and the pump dispenser makes it easy to use the right amount.Overall, it’s a straightforward, effective cleanser that does what it’s supposed to do. A good option if you’re dealing with hormonal or postpartum acne and want something gentle for daily use.

Nice Products
It foams up however is not foaming from the container. I purchased a few products to see the benefits and best fit. I did settle on a different formula. I don’t see a dermatologist, so the descriptions did help, I’m just not sure of the ingredients and use for me. I was looking for an everyday cleanser for my skin type which does tend to be oily. This worked but just a bit too strong for me. I definitely like the brand and did switch.

Significantly decreased my oily skin
I started using this cleanser 3 weeks ago and have noticed a pretty big difference in how oily my skin is. Before, I wouldn’t even leave the house and after a few hours my face would be a greaseball and I’d feel the need to wash my face. I tried making sure that my face was well moisturized, but nope, my face still felt so greasy even staying at home all day.I decided I really needed to minimize my skin routine and I think it’s making a huge difference. I still get an occasional pimple here and there, but my oilyness has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased. Like for sure. These are the products that work for my oily-acne prone skin.Daytime:1. La Roche Posay Effaclar Gel Cleanser (after cleansing pat skin dryyy)2. haruharu Wonder Black Rice Toner (pat all over face and let dry down)3. ROHTO Melano CC Medicinal Stains Measures Essence (for vitamin c and acne scars)4. ROUND LAB Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream (only around my mouth area and eyes because those are specifically dry areas for me)5. naturie Hatomugie Skin Conditioner Toner (I have this in a spray bottle that I spritz in a light layer all over my face and let dry down)Nighttime is almost the same EXCEPT step 3 is replaced with:3. Medicube Deep Reviving Bakuchiol Retinol Facial Serum (I put this only on acne scars and blemish marks in a very thin layer since it stays kinda sticky)I highly highly recommend if you are struggling with oily skin because I think this has made such a difference in my skin! I’m happy to have found a cleanser that actually helps reduce oils.

A mio parere uno dei migliori detergenti per il viso in circolazione. Parto dal fatto che ho una pelle super sensibile e soggetta a dermatite quindi credevo non facesse al caso mio visto che è consigliato prevalentemente per chi ha pelle con impurità. Nonostante ciò ho deciso di provarlo perché a causa della mascherina si sono venuti a formare delle fastidiose bollicine quindi volevo un prodotto detergente ma non super aggressivo. Ho iniziato a usarlo quasi tutte le sere abbinato a una crema idratante e ad apposite creme per la dermatite (la roche ds) e il risultato mi ha piacevolmente sorpresa. La pelle appare da subito freschissima e pulitissima, basta davvero pochissimo prodotto (proprio una goccia) e fa tantissima schiuma. Consiglio prima di sciacquare il viso con acqua tiepida e dopo mettere il prodotto su tutto il viso e massaggiare bene fino a quando non esce la schiuma, infine lasciare in posa per 1 minuto o 2 senza toccare e poi sciacquare con acqua. Inoltre Consiglio questo prodotto a tutte le ragazze che usano la lametta sulle gambe e hanno quei fastidiosi puntini rossi sulla pelle dovuti alla depilazione, usatelo spesso e vedrete che scompariranno piano piano

I use most of the skincare products from La Roche-Posay. I never used the facewash from this brand. So I decided to give it a try. It has become my favorite facewash now. I started using it 4 months ago and I haven’t looked back since then. It is really good for sensitive skin as it says on the bottle too. The bottle lasted me for about 3-4 months. So even though it is on the pricey side, you don’t have to worry about purchasing it for another 3-4 months. I haven’t had any issues with it since I started using it. The nozzle works really good too. It is so smooth to pump out the product. The bottle is clear blue so it is easy to know if you are running low and order another bottle in advance. My skin feels perfect after washing my face. It doesn’t feel dry like it does with most of the facewashes. The consistency of this facewash is good too. It doesn’t feel too thick but just the right consistency. I am in love with this brand now. I use Vitamin C serum, sunscreen and moisturizer from the same brand and now adding facewash has completed my skincare routine from the same brand.

Uso questo gel detergente Effaclar da qualche settimana e posso dire che è uno dei migliori prodotti per la detersione quotidiana, soprattutto se hai pelle mista o tendente all’acne.La cosa che mi ha colpito di più è la capacità di pulire in profondità senza risultare aggressivo: rimuove efficacemente sebo, smog e impurità, lasciando la pelle fresca e visibilmente più pulita già dopo pochi utilizzi.La texture in gel è leggera e fa una schiuma morbida, facile da risciacquare, senza quella sensazione di pelle “che tira” tipica di molti detergenti purificanti. Dopo l’uso, la pelle risulta equilibrata, non lucida ma neanche secca.Altro punto a favore è la tollerabilità: è adatto anche a pelli sensibili e acneiche, grazie alla presenza di ingredienti come lo zinco PCA che aiutano a controllare il sebo.Nel complesso, è un detergente affidabile, efficace e ben formulato, ideale per chi cerca una pulizia quotidiana profonda senza compromettere la barriera cutanea. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo e sicuramente un prodotto che riacquisterò.
