Gentle, high-quality, unscented, targets acne
*I received this product for free and tried it for myself. All of my opinions honest and my own. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo 4% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser is a total game-changer for anyone seeking a good Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser. It is comparable to the viral "Panoxyl," which is also a Benzoyl Per...

Sensitive skin beware
Did not really process or love. Breakouts flared and caused dryness. If the Effaclar La Roche-Posay Cleanser hasn't been good for your sensitive skin, it's totally understandable. Sometimes, even products that are marketed as gentle can irritate certain skin types. You might find that it feels too h...

Changed my skin texture!
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I am loving this product! It changed the texture of my skin in the best way! The packing is so simple and clean!
Doubles as a face wash and body wash 🧼
I've really been enjoying this cleanser, especially as a body wash. While it works well on the face, I've found it's even more effective as part of my body care routine, especially during the summer. The texture is super light, lathers beautifully, and doesn't feel overly harsh or drying. It absorbs easily into the skin and leaves everything feeling clean without that stripped feeling. Definitely a staple in my shower routine now, especially for those breakout-prone areas. Simple, effective, and reliable.

Great BPO cleanser
This is a great benzoyl peroxide cleanser made at a strength suitable for daily use without compromising the skin barrier. I use this every morning as I am acne-prone. Helps keep acne at bay
Didn't fully use it
I received this product in exchange for my honest review: I used it once and then stopped because of the controversy this brand and product have gone through. Honestly I got scared. When I used it, it did its job in cleansing but my face felt super dry after. Mind you I have oily skin.
Must have for Acne Prone Skin Type!
This La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Cleanser is honestly one of the few acne cleansers that actually works without totally drying my skin out. It has a creamy, non-foaming texture that feels gentle going on, but you can tell it's doing its job. It helps calm active breakouts pretty quickly and keeps new ones from popping up, especially if you're consistent. It does have benzoyl peroxide, so I started slow to avoid dryness, but with moisturizer it's totally manageable. Overall, it's a solid go to if you're dealing with acne and want something effective but not harsh.
