Effective, gentle, and worth sticking with
Iâve been using La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel Cleanser for several weeks now, and I genuinely feel itâs one of the best balanced cleansers Iâve tried for acne-prone skin. It lathers into a light foam and leaves my face feeling clean but never tight or overly dry. That alone is a big win for meâso many acne treatments strip my skin, but this one feels supportive rather than harsh.The 2% salicylic acid works well over time. It didnât clear everything overnight, but with consistent use, I saw fewer breakouts and less oil throughout the day. It also helped reduce the look of some clogged pores on my forehead and chin. The added LHA and glycerin make a noticeable difference in how smooth and calm my skin feels after washing.If youâre looking for a cleanser thatâs not overly harsh but still delivers results, I would absolutely recommend giving this a try. It might take a little patience, but itâs been a game-changer in my routine. Stick with itâitâs worth it.

A favorite face wash!
One of my new favorite face washes! A small amount goes a long way. The bubbly soap quality is refreshing, leaving your skin feeling clean and moisturized. There is no sticky or oily residue. The flip-lid is very secure, preventing leaking from the bottle. Great buy for the price!

This truly works!

Visible results in 2 weeks â my dark spots are fading!
Iâve been using this cleanser for almost two weeks, and Iâm already noticing a real difference in my skin. I originally bought it because Iâve been struggling with acne, oily skin, and post-breakout dark spots/scars. My face tends to get shiny and textured by the end of the day, and most cleansers either dry me out or donât really help.This one? Foams nicely, feels super lightweight but effective, and doesnât strip my skin. I love that it includes 2% salicylic acid and LHA â you can tell itâs doing something without feeling harsh. I use it once or twice a day, depending on how my skin feels.After two weeks:â My face feels less oily overallâ Iâve had fewer new breakoutsâ My old dark spots and acne scars are actually fading â something I wasnât expecting this quicklyI still follow with moisturizer and sunscreen during the day, but this cleanser is definitely staying in my routine. If youâre dealing with breakouts and leftover dark spots, I definitely recommend trying this.

Great for oily sensitive/acne prone skin
My skin is currently oily/acne prone/textured/sensitive/and I also have rosacea. I was recommended this face wash by my dermatologist. I purged/broke out for about a week and a half, but then my skin cleared up. It never irritated my skin. It also didn’t suck the life out it. It was nice and gentle, and non stripping. Perfect coming cleanser for oily skin types. I do like this cleanser a lot except that it has menthol in it for a “cooling” effect. I really wish that wasn’t in the ingredients, but I guess it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. It has the potential to be irritating to skin. I also wish that it came in a pump bottle instead of a squeeze tube. But that’s just me nitpicking. Also, keep away from the eyes at all cost.TLDR;It’s a good cleanser if you are oily and acne prone. Didn’t irritate my sensitive rosacea skin. Might cause purging. Has menthol in it.

Gentle, deeply moisturizing, and perfect for sensitive skin!
Iâve been using the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Cream for several weeks, and itâs quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The cream has a rich yet lightweight texture that absorbs easily without leaving any greasy residue. It provides long-lasting hydration and helps soothe dry, irritated skin.What I love most is how gentle it is â itâs fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and doesnât cause any breakouts or irritation. My skin feels soft, smooth, and well-nourished all day. Itâs perfect for sensitive and dry skin types, especially during colder months or after exfoliating treatments.Highly recommend this cream if you want a reliable moisturizer that calms and hydrates without overwhelming your skin.

Helped save my skincare routine.
Amazing texture, foams up immediately. Non-oily. A bottle is going to last me forever, it doesn’t take more than a dime sized drop to spread my entire face, great value. Cleared up my skin after the first use, with the same brand’s moisturizer made for oily/combination skin, this has cut my skincare routine in half and boosted my confidence.

It is my first time that I use this very expensive product on my face. I had try everything but didn’t work on my acne prone skin. But after using this I see that my acne is reducing. The only thing is that after using it my skin gets little bit dry but follow up with good Moisturizer works well….. So thank you Amazon for providing such products to India….. And also thanks a lot to La Roche Posey…… â¤ï¸
