Q
Can I use this cleanser everyday?
Asked by Rose
Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BE
Hello there! While Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is designed for oily skin, whether you can use it every day depends on your individual skin's tolerance and needs. Some people with very oily skin find it beneficial to use daily, while others with more sensitive or combination skin might prefer to use it every other day or a few times a week. It’s always a good idea to start slowly and observe how your skin reacts. If you experience any dryness or irritation, reduce the frequency of use. If you’re unsure, consulting a dermatologist is always recommended. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific skin type and concerns.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Is it good for sensitive skin?
Asked by Kayla
Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BE
Hello there! The Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is designed specifically for oily and sensitive skin. It's formulated to cleanse effectively without stripping essential moisture, making it suitable for many with sensitive skin. However, everyone's skin is unique. We always recommend doing a patch test before applying any new product to your entire face to ensure compatibility with your specific skin.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Where is the fragrance derived from in this product?
Asked by Bare beauty
Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BE
Hello! We understand your concern about fragrance. While our Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is formulated without added fragrance, some individuals may perceive a slight scent due to the inherent smell of the raw ingredients. This is not an added fragrance but the natural aroma of the formula's components.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Is this a good face wash to use on acne prone skin?
Asked by McKinley
Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BE
Hello there! The Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is often recommended for acne-prone skin due to its specific formulation. It contains ingredients that help to cleanse pores, remove excess oil, and reduce shine, which are all beneficial for managing acne. However, everyone's skin reacts differently, and what works well for one person might not work for another. If you have acne-prone skin, it's always best to consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations. They can assess your specific skin type and acne severity and suggest the most appropriate cleanser and skincare routine for your individual needs.Was this answer helpful to you
Q

Asked by Tommy

This moisturizer provides oil-free hydration while controlling shine and minimizing the appearance of pores. However, for personalized advice, consult a dermatologist as they can assess your specific skin needs and recommend the most suitable products for you.Was this answer helpful to you

Good cleanser

I started using this cleanser after running out of my regular one, and so far it has not disappointed me. My skin feels clean, but not squeaky clean, after using the cleanser, although it takes me a while to foam it. It lathers well but doesn't foam a lot from my experience. If I have a pimple, this...

Had high hopes

From Decherd TN

I've read a few reviews and there's quite a bit of people complaining about the scent of this product. I personally like the smell, it's a fresh clean scent and doesn't seem so strong to me, so I don't understand what people are complaining about? I have oily skin, larger pores, not sensitive, and also not sensitive to scents and this product worked well for me. I love the consistency of the gel as well and the amount of product will last me a long time. Overall, I would buy again. I wouldn't recommend for sensitive, dry skinned people. It might be too strong.

I have been a huge fan of this line, but the specific cleanser made my skin irritated because of fragrance. I have an oily skin And for somehow, I made it much more earlier in a long run

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Im giving this a 4 star only for the fact that the scent is so pungent. If you can get past that, this is an amazing cleanser for oily skin. It lives up to its claims. I would recommend this. However, if you are on the drier side, this is not for you.
