LOVE LOVE LOVE - From a hormonally imbalanced person

I have been struggling with acne since I was about 13yo, I'm now 27. I've been thru so much medications and expensive prescribed creams. I've been willing to test LRP for a while now but in my country is super expensive. I'm glad I did thou. I had a pretty ugly breakout when I started using this cleanser, and after one week of use is basically gone. I've never had such good results with a cleanser alone, my doctos would always give me antibiotics, which I hate. I used this am and pm. My skin by now is pretty much used to everything thou, so it might be a good idea to introduce it slowly into your routine if you have a sensitive skin.

Not harsh

This was perfect for a tween. I was afraid it would be too harsh . She was using Neutrogena wash with 2% salicylic and it was drying. She is starting to get pimples so I wanted something with salicylic acid. LovelySkin had a sale so I decided to purchase and it is working out.

My shaving secret

I love to use Effleclar to shave my legs. It helps prevent razor bumps and irritation. Use just a small amount.

Clean pores

It's the first time that I use this cleanser but I must say I'm impressed. I struggle with acne, I'm almost 30 and I have to admit it did surprise me how fast this is cleaning my skin and how my acne has totally improved

Great to manage acne prone skin

Of all the 2% salicylic acid products I’ve tried this one is superior for reducing breakouts!

Fantastic cleanser for acne-prone skin

This is my long-time favorite cleanser for acne-prone skin or during breakout. It doesn't irritate my skin, while fully cleansing my skin and removing any sunscreen, makeup, or excess oil. I always moisturize after using this. Be careful to fully close the cap so it doesn't leak out, since it sits on the cap.

Great cleanser!

I only use this occasionally but I do like it. A little goes a long way so it really lasts. Another great La Roche Posay product!

Good for acne!

I believe this has greatly decreased the number of new acne lesions I get. I love that face feels very clean and refreshed after using this. It can be a little drying however if used 2x a day. I do wish this was sulfate free and then it’d be perfect, but it works so will continue to use unless I find something better.

Effective cleanser

Love gel cleansers - this cleans my skin thoroughly without drying out my skin. Tightens my pores and keeps acne at bay. Great price, works better than more expensive cleansers I’ve tried. Definitely recommend.

Great for pores

I have large pores. I have used this for a few days and definitely noticed it decongest the surface of my pores and they appear smaller. Face feels clean and refreshed. If you have dry skin like myself maybe use once per day & follow with a good moisturizer! But love this cleanser.

Amazing

I have been using the La-Roche Posay Effaclar products for about 4 months and it has been great for my skin. I typically buy the Effaclar kit that comes with the cleanser, toner, and treatment, but I was able to buy from LovelySkin at a cheaper price and greater quantity! Shipping was super fast, and I will definitely buy again!

Avg cleanser, bad packaging

This cleanser is fine.... i think it cleans my face well but leaves it dry. But the packaging needs to be improved. The cap never closes all of the way and product leaks out. So I have to balance it on my vanity upside down so product doesn't spill out.

My fav!!!

I have been using this cleanser for 2 years and has mantained my skin under control. I used to struggle with acne in my forehead and my cheeks but now I rarely have a pimple. I use it at night and during the day I use Toleraine Purifying Foaming Cleanser. Fav combo!!!
