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.

Good
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Packaging is like any other laroche posay product. The texture is a little beady. But doable. The scent smells like any other benzoyl peroxide cleanser. And it works amazing. It controls my acne and immediately kills it as well

I would buy this product again if I could
I was so excited to try this face wash, but after 2 washes it broke my face out and made it really red. It was disappointing that I wasn't going to be able to make this a part of my skin care routine after seeing so many great reviews on it.
Great
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This facial cleanser is great. The ingredients are top notch. It does not have a strong smell. It does not make my sensitive skin break out like other washes.
Leaves your face feeling clean and fresh!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Works great, I really like this cleanser. It works well just using the cleanser (I'll update once I try it with the second part). Theres no scent that I've noticed and the texture/after feel is lovely. My face always feels very clean and not slimy/oily. It does seem to help some with acne breakouts as well.
Did not work for me
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I am not new to using benzoyl peroxide cleansers. However, I used this cleanser for one month and saw no improvement in my acne. I do not think it was causing it, but it wasn't helping it. Minimal lather.
