- Q
Can I use this cleanser everyday?
- Asked by Rose
- Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BEHello there! While Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is designed for oily skin, whether you can use it every day depends on your individual skin's tolerance and needs. Some people with very oily skin find it beneficial to use daily, while others with more sensitive or combination skin might prefer to use it every other day or a few times a week. It’s always a good idea to start slowly and observe how your skin reacts. If you experience any dryness or irritation, reduce the frequency of use. If you’re unsure, consulting a dermatologist is always recommended. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific skin type and concerns.Was this answer helpful to you

It contains ingredients that help to cleanse pores, remove excess oil, and reduce shine, which are all beneficial for managing acne.

Good cleanser
I started using this cleanser after running out of my regular one, and so far it has not disappointed me. My skin feels clean, but not squeaky clean, after using the cleanser, although it takes me a while to foam it. It lathers well but doesn't foam a lot from my experience. If I have a pimple, this...

Had high hopes
i have very bad acne prone oily skin and have struggle with my skin for years. I have heard so much about this brand so I decided to try it out. After about a week of using this my skin is very irritated and extremely dry and painful on my upper cheeks. I was so hopeful.

Not good
I have really oily skin, but this made my skin really dry. It says it's fragrance free, but it have fragrance in it and its super strong which made me break out
Good for oily skin...
I've read a few reviews and there's quite a bit of people complaining about the scent of this product. I personally like the smell, it's a fresh clean scent and doesn't seem so strong to me, so I don't understand what people are complaining about? I have oily skin, larger pores, not sensitive, and also not sensitive to scents and this product worked well for me. I love the consistency of the gel as well and the amount of product will last me a long time. Overall, I would buy again. I wouldn't recommend for sensitive, dry skinned people. It might be too strong.
Super drying and smell too strong
I have been a huge fan of this line, but the specific cleanser made my skin irritated because of fragrance. I have an oily skin And for somehow, I made it much more earlier in a long run
Does what it's supposed to
Im giving this a 4 star only for the fact that the scent is so pungent. If you can get past that, this is an amazing cleanser for oily skin. It lives up to its claims. I would recommend this. However, if you are on the drier side, this is not for you.
Love
It works and smells good. Buy it
