Sits heavy on the skin
I really wanted this cleanser to work. It was my understanding that this cleanser was a "replacement" for the Step-3 Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment cream for the Effaclar line. I really do wish that La Roche Posay would reformulate that cream. The original 3 step system was perfect for my skin and n...

Love it
This cleanser was amazing! I love all of this brands products so much they never fail! The packaging is good there's not really a scent and I love the texture
Checks all my boxes
I have sensitive skin & this cleanser has still been a gifted game changer for me! Don't let the ingredients scare you, it's what you need & worth the buy. I used to get cycle/hormonal acne but this put a stop to all of that. Blemishes under the surface never rise and I notice the more textured spots on my skin improving. One of the first cleansers to ever not burn my eyes during use. You need it!
Great Cleanser
I've been using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo 4% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser for about a two weeks now, and it's quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. As someone who deals with occasional breakouts and blemishes, I was eager to try this product, and it has definitely made a noticeable difference. The texture is creamy, yet it lathers up nicely when you apply water, providing a soft foam that doesn't feel too harsh on the skin. The scent is light and non-irritating, which I appreciate given that benzoyl peroxide can sometimes have a strong, chemical smell. This cleanser is relatively gentle in comparison.
Great for Acne Prone Skin
I have been using benzoyl peroxide cleansers for years since my dermatologist recommended it to treat my acne, and have seen a significant reduction in the frequency of my breakouts since using it. This was my first time trying La Roche-Posay's version, but they are a brand I have trusted for years. This cleanser works just as well as any other benzoyl peroxide cleanser I've tried, so there are cheaper options out there if you aren't willing to splurge on this one. I would recommend using this in the shower since benzoyl peroxide can bleach clothing. That is not specific to this product, but something common among all benzoyl peroxide based products. They can be great on acne-prone skin, but terrible for clothing, so I find that using it in the shower and rinsing thoroughly is the best way to avoid accidentally damaging any clothes.
I would buy this product again and again
Effaclar Duo 4% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser is a well-formulated, option for those struggling with acne..It balances potency with a gentle formulation, making it effective without being overly irritating. The texture and lightweight foam make it pleasant to use, and the minimalist packaging is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
