Amazing product
It is simply amazing I have blemishes on my back and tried so many products like sand and salt scrubs, soaps and body brushes - nothing worked. I thought Effaclar while traveling in Portugal abcs fell in love with it. It quickly cleared my back from all pimples. Blemishes faded and ended up going my away fully within days. I will not stop using it for anything.

My skin got irritated
I bought this so i could have better complexion and remove my acne scars and been using this product for 2 weeks now. When I wake up the other day my face started to get itchy but I just let that go and today when i wake up my face and eyes was swollen and red and burning I could not go out without a face mask.

Question
What is the difference between the Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel Cleanser and the Effaclar + M Foaming Gel Cleanser? I bought both, but should I only use one or the other? When is the proper application for these products? Thank you!

Hi Anne, Great question! The Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel is a cleansing and purifying cleanser designed for oily skin, blackheads and mild acne-prone skin. Whereas the Effaclar Micro-Peeling Gel Cleanser has additional ingredients such as 2% salicylic acid, best suited to those with moderate acne-prone skin. If you're unsure, you're also welcome to try SpotScan, our free acne diagnosis tool which will provide a recommended routine. Simply click the following link and follow the prompts - https://www.laroche-posay.com.au/spotscan.html Frequency is skin-dependent. You are welcome to introduce the Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel Cleanser slowly to make sure it's tolerated. You may wish to start with once a week usage, on areas that need the extra exfoliating boost and increase to a usage frequency of 2-3 times a week if tolerated. It can be used twice daily – am and pm – if tolerated. Hope this assists! Best wishes, La Roche-Posay AU/NZ

It works
I love this product so much. I have been using it for a month and I can see fantastic results already. It leaves my skin clean but not dry and all my acne has calmed right down. I’m so happy.

Not good
Wouldn’t recommend
Says it’s for oily skin yet my skin which is combination has never been more oily since using this
I’ve been using twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening along with the clarifying lotion. Around 30 minutes after using this my face is super oily
Waste of money

Hi there! We're sorry to hear you're not entirely satisfied with Effaclar Micropeeling Gel. We recommend applying a moisturiser for your skin type at the end of your skincare routine. This will help to lock the moisture in and prevent excess oil production throughout the day and night. We hope this information proves useful. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

Balanced skin
I brought this micro peeling gel to give my facial skin a deep cleanse and to get rid of dead skin cells. This gel dies a great job at doing this. After use my skin feels refreshed and balanced.
This gel wash is gentle on my skin and does not leave it tight or dried out. I have oily combination skin and this is only tested on oily and acne prone skin. It removes excess sebum which is one of the causes of oily skin. My skin feels and looks more balanced after use, I have also noticed I have less breakouts to.
I use it at night for a deep cleanse 2 to 3 times a week. I wet my skin, massage it in, then wash it off, patting my skin to dry it off.
The contents incudes 2% Salicylic acid and LHA so you can exfoliate without it rubbing your skin too hard. It has a nice thick consistency and a slight fresh smell.

Greatly reduced and controlled my breakouts
I have a similar experience to an earlier reviewer re: hormonal adult acne at 30. Before my hormonal acne, I previously had issues with dry skin, so I was a little worried about picking this product up and ruining my moisture barrier. Very pleased to report I haven’t experienced stripping, and while my hormonal issues are ongoing, this wash has significantly improved and helped control the acne. I started alternating between my gentle cleanser and this one every second day in the first couple of weeks and have worked my way up to nightly (and morning sometimes if I have a workout). I’ve only been on it for about 5 weeks now so I have a long way to go, but I’m sure there’ll be increased benefits over time in tandem with some prescriptions to tackle the underlying hormonal issues.

Causing purging, however I can really feel it work
I bought this just a week ago and have been using it day and night. I’m 18 years old and have suffered from chin acne for a while now however, it was never as bad as it is now. I had lost all hoe and decided to buy the entire effeclar routine. Whilst the deep cleanse causes purging in my skin, I can really feel it working and tough blemishes I have had are fading away. I can’t wait to see what my skin will look like after the purging cycle of 8 weeks is over. Thank you LRP!

Great cleanser
I bought this cleanser three weeks ago and I really like how fresh and clean my skin feels.
I have been using it once a day, however after using it for a couple of weeks I started noticing some dry patches and redness around my eyes, nose and lips and some tiny red bumps too.
Should I reduce the frequency or stop using it completely?

Perfect!
I have oily skin with enlarged pores and blackheads. The gel helps me a lot to keep my skin in good condition. I use the gel twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, I lather a little gel in wet palms and apply it on my face - I wash my face and rinse with water.
The gel does not dry the skin, perfectly cleanses, thanks to the content of salicylic acid it helps to fight black spots, has an economical consumption.

Game Changer
My dermatologist recommended this wash twice daily in conjunction with the Effaclar duo plus moisturiser for my new onset adult hormonal acne (I’m 30). I can’t begin to explain how good this wash is. My skin is usually very oily and acne prone and it’s helped control the cystic acne around my mouth and chin dramatically in just 3 weeks! It’s not drying or stripping and my skin feels clean and refreshed after using it.

Lovely cleansed skin with Effaclar Micropeeling Ge
I have been using Effaclar Micropeeling Gel cleanser for a few weeks and I am happy with the results. I have used it mainly for facial cleansing to help with occasional breakouts. I have combination skin so I get the oily T zone which can lead to black heads and blocked pores. Since using the gel cleanser my skin has been a lot more matte and refined. After using my skin is squeaky clean and feels really fresh and invigorated and it has now become a staple in my skincare routine. I have not had any reactions or allergies whilst using the micro peel and I would recommend.

GAME CHANGER!
I have serious acne-prone skin and someway somehow, this cleanser just has my acne under control. I’ve struggled looking for the right products for a while but this effaclar line is just so gooooood! I use this cleanser with the effaclar duo + and my skin has never felt smoother. It’s a bit strong though so I’d advise using it on alternating nights with your usual cleanser or even just thrice a week.

Absolute HG for reducing sebaceous filaments
I love this face wash, it has been the only thing I have ever used that has helped with sebaceous filaments on my nose. I have tried so many products and blackhead treatments (before I knew what a sebaceous filament was I thought that's what they were) to minimise them but with no luck..until I used this!

Tackles sebaceous filaments!
I have had sebaceous filaments (not blackheads, but similar) all over my nose as long as I can remember and no product, except for clay masks, have helped.
I have used lots of different types of face wash over the years with no real improvement so I was pleasantly surprised that this face wash has actually removed them! Miracle!
Only thing I would mention is it is a little drying around the eyes so would use a seperate eye makeup remover.

Another fave LRP product of mine <3
I've been using this gel wash daily since receiving it. I love the fact it doesn't leave my skin (face or body) overly dry or tight, which normally is the case with washes and cleansers for oily skin. In fact my skin feels clean, smooth, and my pores are noticeably smaller!! It helps keep those pesky breakouts at bay and has really helped with my shoulders and back reducing frequent breakouts and calming my skin.
I highly recommend the larger bottle, as it's a generous size with a handy pump, perfect to keep in the bathroom.

I was looking for something that cleanse deep and well, and this product surely is doing the best job possible! Is not drying my skin too much, it feels fresh, and I love the refreshing sensation after using it. The skin is so clean, and perfectly prepared for the rest of the skin care regime. I love it!

Can't believe how well this has worked....
Must admit to be the big 50 next year.... I have suffered with my skin all my life trying various different brands for problem skin, but they all seemed too harsh. The Micropeeling gel is amazing my skin has never felt and looked so clear... I do still have some marks and a few problem areas but I am sure that with continued us, these will improve. My 16 year old son has also started to use as he does suffer from face and body breakouts and we have seen a big improvement. Thank you.

Strong and effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has taken me a while to review as I wanted to really see if this product worked for me. By and large it's good and I liked the Salicylic Acid content. However, with lockdown and heatwave I found I broke out on my back and arms so I used this on those areas. It worked a treat. A handy product to keep in your bathroom on the days your skin needs a deep clean. Lasts a long time too.

good cleanser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a good cleanser, except for the "mentholy-cooling" feeling it gives me after wash. I guess there are some who might like it. Also, it stung my eyesa bit so I had to be extra careful when using it. I have extremely sensitive eyes so it's probably me, not the product. The good thing is, it didn't overdry my skin, which is unusual for "peeling" and "purifying" gels in general. Overall a good cleanser for oily,congested skin.

Worked for my Keratosis pilaris
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this for around 6 weeks now and I've seen a massive improvement to the Keratosis pilaris on my arms. I use it in the shower 2-3 times per week without applying any other creams post shower and there has been a noticeable improvement. My partner has also applied it to his bacne which has also improved. Would definitely recommend this product. One thing to note is that the scent is quite chemical, not so pleasant, but it wont stop me using it as it does the job well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this occasionally to exfoliate areas of acne (back!) and I have found it to be a very gentle and great product. I have tried it a couple times on my face but have found it a bit too drying (I have dry eczema prone face). I would highly recommend this product if you suffer from acne as it is very easy to use!

Perfect face wash for those who suffer with problem outbreaks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really struggle with outbreaks of spots around my chin area, and during summer months occasional outbreaks across my chest and shoulders which is really unfortunte.
Was pleased to receive this cleanser for review as I regualy use the effclar + moisturiser and find it really effective.
Was a bit worried that it might be too drying too use on all my facial skin with it being foaming, but this hasnt been a problem.
It really seems to have kept breakouts more under control, and calmed existing redness and swelling even seeming to reduce those horrible under the skin spots.
Its ideal to use in the shower to wash my face, neck, chest, shoulders and back. A little lathers up a long way so i can see this lasting a long time.
I’ve been please with the results so far and it seems a nice addition to using the efficlar + to keep breakouts in check. And hopefully prevent more going forward.

Good but a bit harsh on my face
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was a little harsh on my face (45 with mild eczema flares but still can get congested) but daughter has used it on her back with success.

Great face cleanser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My skin is prone to spots in around the nose chin and forehead area where skin is a bit oily after using Effaclar twice daily for couple of weeks I noted significant reduction in black head, my pores seem to be cleaner. This gel is great, doesn't dry out the skin, face after washing feels refreshed, cleaner but not tight. It contains salicylic acid so it's perfect for acne prone skin types.

Good BHA product for congested skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this as my skin was becoming more spot-prone since regularly wearing masks at work. Helps to decongest the skin and reduces pore-blocking sebum. Can be a little drying so if you have dehydrated skin this is probably more for occasional use rather than an everyday product

Cleans the skin deeply
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this product because it has salycylic acid and it works perfect in my skin when I get those spots on my face every time I get my period. If you use it every 2 days it will help you to get less spots. I think every day is too much. And I always use my dermallergo serum after this

Really good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this product for 2 weeks now and am loving it. It's kind of comparable to the cerave sa cleanser minus the ceramides. But to compare the 2 I prefer this one as i like the way it foams and works faster as you start seeing a difference in a few days. I usually the ordinary version of this in a serum but as it is not available I like this at the moment. I like the fact it has 2% salacylic acid in a wask which in the price range is really good and unlike the ordinary it does not stay on the skin as it is a wash.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This micro peeling gel is great. It makes my skin feel so clean and refreshed, I feel awake when I use this. My skin feels smooth and it helps with my acne also. I suffer from acne and I think this is a great product. You must apply a serum and moisturiser after this but the product it self makes you feel alive. It makes me love my skin.

Leaves skin feeling very clean
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This face wash is lovely to use and leaves my skin feeling clean, without drying it out.
I don’t know if it’ll have an effect on some of the more patchy areas of my skin, because I haven’t been using it for long it enough.
All in all, another great product from LRP!

Perfect Peel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has swiftly earned itself a daily and essential place in my skin routine. A light but effective peel,it works like a daily facial wash and I use it in my morning shower. It has a rich foaming effect and has a slight cooling sensation on the skin. After use, my skin feels refreshed and looks brighter. As it is not too strong it is perfect for daily use. A little goes a long way which means that this premium product is actually great value for money.

Great Purifying Gel Wash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My skin has started to have breakouts during the lockdown, and this purifying gel wash has helped to clear up this problem. It has micro-exfoliating properties that unclog pores and cleanses the skin without feeling any abrasion or friction. The gel has a nice scent, though I couldn't detect the menthol in the product, it's lightly foaming and a little goes a long way. I have used for about 7 days and my skin feels so much smoother and no more blemishes or breakouts.

Good occasional skin boost
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to try this and incorporate it into my body routine once a week,in place of a body exfoliator. I have so far been pleased with the results. It is much gentler than an exfoliator- but leaves my skin feeling lovely and ready for body moisturiser. I don’t intend to use it more than once a week-so it will last a long time-making it very worth the cost-which is an added bonus.

The gel is easy to use and gives a fresh, deep clean without that nasty dry feeling afterwards

Perfect for backne!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had back acne since I was a teenager, and usually wash my back with mild face washes. This seems to be formulated to perfectly suit my really oily back/shoulder skin. It noticeably keeps the oilyness down. I found this a bit harsh for my (very sensitive) face, but so far this seems to be a savior for my back and shoulders, without stripping them. It's a good sized bottle too - I have the smaller 200ml one and I think it will last a couple of months of daily use.

The gel consistency foams to a rich lather, great for dry congested skin, it leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean without drying.
I also love using it as a body wash as it gently exfoliates the dry stubborn patches. Overall a great product that is very versatile & effective.

Fresh feel face cleanser without drying out skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really lovely foaming cleanser which deeply purifies without leaving the skin feeling tight and uncomfrotable. This has helped balance out the oiliness of my t-zone without drying out the rest of my face. This product can also be used on the body too, great for summer when we may all suffer from more oily skin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this may be my new favourite LRP product and I'm already a big fan! I expected it to feel like I was using micro beads but it's just like a typical foamy facewash. Skin feels tingly and fresh afterwards. I've been using this for a week and red marks from where I've had previous spots have faded significantly. I've had two spots early on but these went really quickly. Very impressed with this product.

Works so well on hormonal skin!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually use the effaclar gel wash, which I love. My skin is pretty good, but my tzone is oily, and I get hormonal breakouts each month. This means I can get little white spots around my nose. Since using this gel, I have noticed less white spots during monthly breakouts. The skin on my nose seems more refined. I use the micro peeling gel wash at night as part of my double cleansing routine. I still use the effaclar gel wash in the morning to refresh after sleep. I love how they work together to keep breakouts at bay.
I have sensitive skin, and this doesn't cause any flare ups or redness. My skin feels clean, but not tight or stripped of oil after use.

Love the smell!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rather than using it on my face, where I think the Effaclar lotion,mask and cream are doing brilliant job, I have concentrated my effort on my husbands back. His skin is very soft and smooth, with very deep and hard to get blocked pores. He has used it 3 times now and Yes, it works! The nasty stuff is slowly coming out and is clearing the back from all the impurities. His routine at the moment is to use it every other day in conjunction with Lipikar shower gel between as he is very prone to eczema. I would like to come back to my review after good 2 weeks and add to it with some photos,if possible.

Don't be scared!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little concerned that anything with the term micro-peeling may have been too harsh for my sensitive skin. I tried it out on a small area first and was happy that there was no reaction. It felt cleansing and as it says purifying. I will certainly use it for areas of concern but possibly on a weekly basis.

Skin feels very smooth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to receive this as I have dark spots on my upper back after suffering acne last summer. I've tried lots of different treatments but nothing has worked. After using this for a few days I've noticed my skin felt very smooth. The scars are still there but I'm hoping after continued use these will fade. However the main downside of this product is the smell. I'm not keen on the smell of this but if it works in combating my skin then I will definitely continue to use this.
The packaging is also very attractive - I love the colour - and what I love most is that I can leave it in the shower and know I have a product that has a multi-use for face and body.
