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...

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.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[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.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[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.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

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.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Cured my bad acne

Submitted 2 years ago

By Steph

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!
