Does this product exfoliate ?
- Asked by Kk
- Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BEHello there! At La Roche-Posay, our Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser effectively cleanses oily skin without the physical or chemical exfoliation found in some other cleansers. It focuses on gently removing excess oil, dirt, and impurities without harsh scrubbing or potentially irritating exfoliating ingredients. This makes it suitable for daily use, even on sensitive skin. If you're looking for a La Roche-Posay cleanser with exfoliating properties, we recommend exploring our Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser, which contains salicylic acid.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Why does it say fragrance free but the last ingredient is fragrance?
- Asked by help
- Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BEHello there! At La Roche-Posay, we understand your question about the listing of "fragrance" on our Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser. The ingredients in our formulations, even those described as "fragrance-free," can sometimes have inherent scents due to their natural composition.

- 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

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...

Slight burn on slightly oily skin

I have lightly oily skin and I'm on day 2 but it is slightly making my skin burn and feel dry. I've heard so many good things about this product so I had my hope up. I was going to give it a few more days but I'm too scared with the slight burn. But the bottle size is huge for the price and a little goes a long way.
Love it
