- Q
Is this a good face wash to use on acne prone skin?
- Asked by McKinley
- Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BEHello there! The Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is often recommended for acne-prone skin due to its specific formulation. It contains ingredients that help to cleanse pores, remove excess oil, and reduce shine, which are all beneficial for managing acne. However, everyone's skin reacts differently, and what works well for one person might not work for another. If you have acne-prone skin, it's always best to consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations. They can assess your specific skin type and acne severity and suggest the most appropriate cleanser and skincare routine for your individual needs.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Can this be used on NON oily skin types or willl it be too drying?
- Asked by NaimaD.
- Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BEHello there! While Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is specifically formulated for oily skin, its suitability for other skin types depends on individual factors. For someone with normal to dry skin, it might be too drying for regular use. However, those with combination skin, where some areas are oily and others are dry, might find it suitable for targeted use on the oilier zones. For more personalized advice, consulting a dermatologist is always recommended. They can assess your specific skin type and concerns to determine if this cleanser, or a different product, is the right fit for you. You can also find more details about the cleanser on the La Roche-Posay website, including information on its ingredients and intended usage.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...

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.

It's great
This is my favorite face wash, I'm 41 and people always think I'm in my 20's. My secret is this face wash and a very basic skin care routine. Less is definitely more in skin care…
Scented/Fragrance
This is a scented cleanser so if you have sensitive skin, it's not the right cleanser for you! I was surprised bc all my other La Roche products do not have fragrance and work great on my skin.
