La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser

Me gusta mucho este producto por su textura, con muy poca cantidad puedes lavar muy bien tu cara, tengo piel delicada y cero me ha irritado, no siento la piel reseca y después de lavarme la cara es una sensación fresca para comenzar mi rutina de skincare, funciona muy bien para pieles delicadas con algún tema de brotes

كميه حلوه وسعر معقول

Excellent product, 100% recommended!! The smell and the texture are the best, absoulutely worth it.

A little goes a long way-you only need a tiny amount. It foams up perfectly, and this is the ONLY face wash of the many I’ve tried that doesn’t make me break out and leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped of moisture. I’ve tried cerave, vanicream, and other sensitive skin cleansers but this one is by far the best. The scent is heavenly—like fresh gardenias. If you prefer unscented, this is not the one for you. I double cleanse with Centella 1004 light oil, emulsify with water, and the go in with this cleanser to finish the routine. It’s just perfect. Also helps with oil control during the day and has not irritated my sensitive skin in the slightest. I can’t say enough good things about it.

I never heard of this brand or product before until I saw a manufacturer’s coupon in the paper for their Effaclar Duo Acne cream product. Right away, I start to google info about the brand/products. As always, I also go to Amazon.com to read everyone’s reviews about any products. The reviews were promising and thought I would give the cleanser a try. I used Obagi Nu Derm product line for almost 3 years. In the past year, I have had many hormonal monthly breakouts every single month. I started to trying other products that would clean my oily skin better and prevent big acne cystic breakouts. I’ve tried other products like Peter Thomas Roth, and Cetaphil oily skin cleanser (that didn’t break any oils off my skin), and over the counter products, but they left my skin too dry and I still had blemishes and acne, the kind that are big red and bumpy first like a mosquito bite, then it finally breaks through with the pus. ( I know, it’s digesting)
So far, I have used this foaming cleanser all week. The cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean, free of the day’s mineral makeup products and removes the oily, shiny skin I have very refreshed and cleansed. My face felt clean, soft and not tight. I am in my upper 40s and I don’t want products that make my skin feel too dry or tight. This cleanser leaves my skin feeling soothed, clean and fresh.
I am also ordering their Effaclar MToner to complement the cleanser and I will slowly build up the Effaclar line into my skin routine, including the eye cream. For someone who has had those cystic, hormonal big red bump pimples, I hope this will be my answer to finally get things under control. My dermatologist gave me Retin A Micro to put on my giant pimples. All the Retin A did was dry it up a bit, flake my skin along the surrounding area and then as the pimple dries up, it makes it super dark and leaving me with this very dark pigmented scar. So, I quit using the Retin A too. I bought the Effaclar Duo acne treatment because it has peroxide which I hope will lighten up the pimple and its scars.
I’ll have to update this review after a month or two of using the La Roche-Posay products. But so far, I like the way my skin looks and feel.
Update: Feb. 13, 2013:
I returned this product as it was overly drying to my oily skin. It was very effective at drying the oily skin; actually too much for me. Perhaps for a teenager with extreme oily and acne skin types.

 This cleanser works so well. It’s a clear gel consistency that easily spreads. It turns white once wet and leaves your skin feeling so clean but not dry! Definitely a must have in your skin routine. I’ve noticed so many changes in my skin appearance. Smaller pores, less oil, less breakouts. Get it!
