    One of the best cleansers for oily skin. It is gentle on the skin, cleans well and does not cause drying. I recommend it if you have oily or sensitive skinز I recommended it on my Forshety website...

    This is a great foaming cleanser to remove any dirt, oils etc from the skin and leaving the skin clean and fresh. It has a very pleasant scent which I do like a lot. Also, I wouldn't recommend...

    Did not work well with my skin. I love LRP products but the effaclar wash did way more harm than good. I thought everything was going well, but after a few months of consistent use I broke out into...

    I got a lot of samples of this over several years whenever I buy la Roche sunscreen. They never fail to dry my skin out despite using the tiniest amount out of the small sample. It does foam well...

    Not a good experience! I tried a small sample size of this and immediately it left my face feeling tight and uncomfortable, not in a 'reaction' sense but that it was just too harsh and drying. I...

    What a fantastic cleanser! For the last four months my skin has been falling apart. Figuratively and literally. I’ve experienced constant acne. It seems to be hormonal. Mostly in the nose/chin...

    Verdict: This product is overrated. It is a drugstore quality cleanser - not worth the price. Will never re-buy. Cons: I have oily, acne prone skin and this did not do anything for me. Over...

    Leaves my skin drier than I’d like so it’s become a night time wash. It’s good for the second cleanse getting all the product off my face.

    I have tried EVERYTHING!! This used to be very pricey but luckily it’s gone down. I’ve always had acne-prone skin with sebaceous filaments and this does the trick!
