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...

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...

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.
Cured my bad acne
I love this! I truly think this is what cured my forehead acne. I have combination skin but I never really suffered from bad acne like this before. It really messed with my self esteem! Whats crazy is that my acne was only on my forehead and no where else. At first I thought it was stress or hormonal acne but after months of doing the most and simplifying my skin regimen; my acne was not calming down. I was using benzoyl peroxide 10% spot treat at first, alongside SA cleanser but blemishes still kept popping up. One after another. Until I added this to my regimen and ditched the SA cleanser. Yes, it did take a while for it to do its thing but I saw faster results with this. Not only was I using this but I also was using hydrocolloid patches to stop the picking, 10% BP spot treatment to get rid of the last of my blemishes, and a resurfacing retnoid serum to help with the acne scars. I was doing this day and night. Now, my face is looking clear once again!
Works really well! Just needs some time
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Works really well and honestly, it's a goood size bottle, you get a lot of product for the price! It took about 3 weeks for me to see any results, but I love the way it cleanses without leaving my skin feeling dry. My face is glowing! I also love that there's no scent.
Gentle yet effective
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Gently enough to use multiple times a week even with the exfoliating ingredients, leaves your skin feeling clean but not stripped, without a greasy or waxy feeling left behind. Only wish it were in a pump, but that's not a huge deal.
