First cleanser I actually love!!
I have combination to oily skin. Before using La Roche Posay, I had bumps all over my forehead because of my bangs (which I’ve had for over 6 years) and I got so disgusted looking at my forehead I needed to do something about it and invest in a good cleanser that was inexpensive. I used to use St. Ives, Clean and Clear, and Neutrogena then my friend let me try some of her La Roche Posay products and I absolutely loved it and bought this cleanser ASAP.After using this cleanser for about two weeks I noticed a difference in my skin and it was clearing up (especially my forehead). I was happy with my purchase. It’s super gentle on my sensitive skin and the product lasts a long time. After three months of using this product I found out what works for me.Some tips and tricks with using this product- Know your skin type!!!- Remove any makeup before washing your face- rinse your face with warm water and wash the cleanser off with warm water. After washing, splash your face with COLD water- Make sure to activate the product in your hands before applying it on the face, don’t apply it directly after taking the product out- wash your face for a sold minute and a half to ensure a good cleansing- ALWAYS MOISTURIZE RIGHT AFTER CLEANSING OR CONTINUE WITH YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE- If you’re more combo than oily, only use this cleanser once a day or else it will dry our your skin. If you want to cleanse twice a day, invest in a lighter formula of this cleanser.If you don’t moisturize right after or continue with your skin care routine, you won’t notice a visible difference. Always hydrate the skin after cleansing. If you’re looking for immediate results, this might not be your product. For me with most products, I notice a difference after consistent uses up to two weeks. Patience is key with trying new skin care products because your skin needs to get used to what you’re putting on it. Knowing your skin type helps a lot too with finding cleansers and products that will suit your skin needs.Overall, this cleanser from La Roche Posay works for me and I absolutely love the results from it. If you’re not into scents or smells, this product has a very light scent. Not fruity, or strong just smells refreshing.

BEST face wash!!!!!
This is hands down the best face wash I’ve ever used. I have very oily sin and it leaves my face feeling soft, refreshed, but not dry. It has a subtle scent but doesn’t hurt my face in anyway. It lathers so nicely and is so soft to apply. I Love it!!!!

I live this face wash.
First let me say, a brand that is non professional, Roche is my favorite line. I love this line of skin care and itâs affordable. Iâm an esthetician so I use PCA and Dermalogica now quite a bit but this line is so so good. This face wash is cleansing. But it does dry out your skin try the white bottle of this. Itâs creamy. Better for dry skin. The smell is so clean and fresh. And the emulsification is just*chefs kiss*

Excellent for Oily Sensitive Acne-Prone, Skin
I never heard of this brand or product before until I saw a manufacturer’s coupon in the paper for their Effaclar Duo Acne cream product. Right away, I start to google info about the brand/products. As always, I also go to Amazon.com to read everyone’s reviews about any products. The reviews were promising and thought I would give the cleanser a try. I used Obagi Nu Derm product line for almost 3 years. In the past year, I have had many hormonal monthly breakouts every single month. I started to trying other products that would clean my oily skin better and prevent big acne cystic breakouts. I’ve tried other products like Peter Thomas Roth, and Cetaphil oily skin cleanser (that didn’t break any oils off my skin), and over the counter products, but they left my skin too dry and I still had blemishes and acne, the kind that are big red and bumpy first like a mosquito bite, then it finally breaks through with the pus. ( I know, it’s digesting)So far, I have used this foaming cleanser all week. The cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean, free of the day’s mineral makeup products and removes the oily, shiny skin I have very refreshed and cleansed. My face felt clean, soft and not tight. I am in my upper 40s and I don’t want products that make my skin feel too dry or tight. This cleanser leaves my skin feeling soothed, clean and fresh.I am also ordering their Effaclar MToner to complement the cleanser and I will slowly build up the Effaclar line into my skin routine, including the eye cream. For someone who has had those cystic, hormonal big red bump pimples, I hope this will be my answer to finally get things under control. My dermatologist gave me Retin A Micro to put on my giant pimples. All the Retin A did was dry it up a bit, flake my skin along the surrounding area and then as the pimple dries up, it makes it super dark and leaving me with this very dark pigmented scar. So, I quit using the Retin A too. I bought the Effaclar Duo acne treatment because it has peroxide which I hope will lighten up the pimple and its scars.I’ll have to update this review after a month or two of using the La Roche-Posay products. But so far, I like the way my skin looks and feel.Update: Feb. 13, 2013:I returned this product as it was overly drying to my oily skin. It was very effective at drying the oily skin; actually too much for me. Perhaps for a teenager with extreme oily and acne skin types.

Great product and great customer service. Had a return order cause I thought the pump on mine was broken and they already sent one on its way before I could even returned mine.

Güzel ürün, uzun kullanımda çok iÅime yaradı. YaÄlı ve sivilceli bir cildiniz varsa düÅünmeden alın, zaten çok uzun süre gidiyor abartı kullanmazsanız. Sivilcelerim neredeyse kalmadı sadece izler var Åu an.

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.
