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.

Reformulated
I've loved this La Roche-Posay's cleanser for my skin as its single-handedly cleared up my acne but recently I've noticed a change in the formula which is a bummer because it has been the only cleanser that's worked for my combination skin type. I'm not sure if I'll be trying the reformulated Effeclar cleanser; I don't want to risk losing my progress as I've been reading that it's been causing people to breakout. :/
Good product, but….
This is definitely a goid product but it may not becgor everyone snd it's definitely mot for me. If you have sensitive skin or rosacea do not use. I really wish these face products would get away from laurel sulfates as their listed ingredients.
Smells awful
Maybe I just had a bad bottle, but it smells like the plastic is leeching into the face wash. I couldn't handle the harsh smell. Also caused me to breakout, which typically isn't the case with any other of their products I have used.
Effective Cleanser for Oily Skin Only
Great for oily skin like me. It cleans thoroughly, but follow up with a hydrating moisturizer. Not for dry or normal skin; this isn't a one-size-fits-all on all skin types. If you have sensitive skin, avoid. Best cleanser I've used.

Wanted to love, smell was awful.
I love most if not all La Roche Posay products. But this one, the scent is awful. I tried it a few times, i liked the clean feel after using it, but the smell of the product is not pleasant. Such a bummer.
