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 now I'm back to breaking out at 34 yrs old, like I did when I was 15 and stressing about it isn't helping. I've never done well with cream cleansers as a combo-oily, sensitive skin user. I don't feel that they penetrate well enough through daily oil and grime, even after doing an oil/makeup removing cleanser. With that said, only using the SA Cleanser and Toner with the retinoid gel as a substitute step 3 isn't cutting it - I also add in Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid and Retinol serums into that regimen. However, in an effort to use up the bottle (since this is a higher cost brand), I've been using the cream cleanser in the mornings and the gel cleanser in the evenings. I haven't seen a change in the last 3-4 months since I bought it. LRP has been really good to my skin in the last 5-6 years, and I really hope they are working to reformulate the BP cream to move back to the original 3-step system for the Effaclar line. I really don't want to have to do research for another skin care brand and go through the whole process again of seeing if it works.
Wow
This is the best face wash ever for acne prone skin.
I would buy this product again and again
It took about two weeks for me to see the effectiveness of this product. It is very gentle and easy to use
this works so well for my skin type!!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] my skin is fairly oily, with bad blackheads & a few pimples but when i use this i notice way less blackheads and barely any pimples anymore

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
