Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the gel texture of this cleanser. It is in a convenient pump bottle and dispenses easily. It foams well when combined with water and leaves my skin feeling clean and cared for. Since using this my skin is clear and blemish free.

Excellent produit

C'est un produit qui aide beaucoup pour les personnes aux peaux grasses, qui enlève toutes impuretés. Cela fait à peu près 2 ans que j'utilise ce produit et à chaque fois ma peau est toujours douce et éclatante. Habituellement je changeais à chaque 2 mois de marque parce que ma peau est très sensible, mais la roche posay est très douce sur la peau. J'adore la marque et le produit

Best cleansing gel! I have been using it for year now, and it is excellent. I have rosacea, sensitive skin. My skin has been improved so much, gentle cleaning and calming the skin as well. I like the smell of the gel, I think it is lovely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with this product, I am using it together with the patches and the triple correction cream and the results are brilliant. Very easy to use - super gentle formula that doesnt stripe your skin off, just leaving it clean and smooth. Really recommend it to everyone who has breakout prone skin

Deep cleanse without drying

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have combination skin that’s prone to an oily tzone. This gel cleanser is great for balancing my oily breakthrough. Micro foaming, the lather deep cleanses but doesn’t l ave my skin dry or taught after. Skin feels soft, clean and rebalanced. Works best with the Effackar duo+ M cream to keep skin matte all day

Soothing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this cleanser in exchange from my honest review. I’ve had it before and it was great for soothing my problematic skin and calming it down to prevent blemishes. I find it best used with the Effaclar moisturiser for twice the dose of great skincare products. The cleanser has a great lather and softens your skin to feel clear and clean.

Purifying Foaming Gel

The Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel cleanser was a bit of a mixed experience for me. On the downside, I found it quite drying on my skin eventhough I am a combo more oily skin, and I personally didn’t enjoy the smell either, it’s not unbearable, just not something I look forward to using. That said, it does lather really well and gives that “super clean” feeling, which works especially well for oily skin types. The good thing is that despite the dryness, it didn’t cause me to break out at all, which is a big plus. In terms of price, I’d say it’s fairly reasonable for a dermatologist-backed brand and the tube lasts a long time, so you do get decent value.

Helpful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using the Effaclar routine when my skin was breaking out more than usual, and honestly it helped simplify everything. I like that it’s just a few steps and doesn’t feel overwhelming. My skin felt cleaner pretty quickly, and over time I noticed fewer breakouts and less oiliness. It’s not one of those routines that works overnight, but it feels like it’s actually improving your skin instead of just covering things up.

Made my skin so much worse

My skin was in an okay place with the occasional breakout here and there, especially right before my menstrual cycle. I decided to try this product as saw many good reviews for it. It has been 4 weeks and my skin has never looked worse. I have lots of small pus filled white heads and bumps on my cheeks and forehead and a few very painful deep seated cysts as well which I never had before.

Minimising facial acne

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve suffered my whole 20’s with acne as it missed me as a teenager! Struggling to find products that don’t irritate it and cause more. I have been using the very generous sample for a week now and have noticed a difference with the flared up patches slowly minimising and not spreading. The spots of course are still there but have shrunk in size and are not itchy or red.

Pleasant scent and gentle clean

I really enjoy this cleanser as a tiny amount goes a very long way and it's got an incredibly pleasant scent. My face feels nice and clean afteward, without being quite as dried out as other products. I do need to make sure I use moisturizer quickly after cleansing, although that's consistent with even washing my face solely with water. It also feels like it's appropriately cleansing my skin of sunblock and the grit of the day, whereas some cleansers don't.

Refreshing facial wash

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this facial wash to be very refreshing. It cleanses my skin well without stripping it or making it dry afterwards. I have oily combination skin. This facial wash helped to cleanse my skin of the excess oil, leaving it feeling and looking balanced. It had a medium thick gel consistency where I don't need to use much. It foams well and I can see that it is making a difference to my blemishes as they are starting to fade. This Effaclar foaming cleanser isn't harsh on my skin and hasn't caused any further breakouts.

Skin super soft after use but...

This foaming cleansing gel applies really easily and lathers up instantly, which I loved at first. But the longer I kept it on, the more it started to sting and burn. By the time I rinsed it off, my skin was noticeably red and irritated. The strange part is that my face does feel super soft afterward, so there’s at least one positive. Still, I’m not sure that softness is worth the discomfort. I’m hoping the redness dies down soon, but right now I’m on the fence about continuing to use it. If you have sensitive skin, definitely proceed with caution

Fresh and clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent cleanser I absolutely love the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Foaming Cleanser! It has been a game-changer for my skin. The formula is gentle yet effective, providing a deep cleanse without stripping my skin of moisture. My face feels fresh, smooth, and clean every time I use it, and it's great for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I also appreciate how little product is needed, so it lasts a long time.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed with how much it has improved my skin. The formula feels gentle but still gives a deep, refreshing clean without leaving my face tight or dry. My skin is quite oily and prone to breakouts, and this cleanser has helped balance the oiliness while keeping new blemishes to a minimum. I love that it foams nicely and has a clean, fresh scent. The 400ml bottle is also great value especially with the discount—because it lasts a long time. Overall, a reliable daily cleanser that actually delivers on its promises. Would definitely repurchase!

I recommend it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was really nice on the skin, smelt very good; almost like honeysuckle. I have sensitive skin, and I did not feel any reaction like I normally do with other things. A 15ml sample is great to receive. I have loved their products for a while as they are low on fragrances/ fragrance free. Thought I do wish it would remove my mascara better, but I would probably put that as a different product because it might be harsher. Overall I liked it.
