    I love this cleanser! I got it in a trial size and, before I even finished it, I bought the normal sized one. In only seven days, my chin and my forehead were rid of all those annoying little...

    I really like this cleanser! I have been using this with the Cream cleanser and my acne (blackheads, whiteheads, large pores etc...) have diminished. I will continue to use this until I find...

    I tried this as a big sample and I must say that I'm not impressed. It has a nice gel texture, and it doesn't lather up a lot. But somehow it leaves a sticky residue that it's hard to wash away....

    I got this from the dermatologist's office. I'm not a big fan -- though there's nothing particularily *wrong* with it, I just find it boring. It doesn't foam up much, and when you rinse it off it...

    This made my skin totally worse. It feels like a suction cup is pulling on your face after you're done using it. I don't think that It could make a good dish soap, but not for the face.

    An okay cleanser but comes out wayyy too quickly! It is a clear liquid that does not leave any residue. I recommend this (daily) plus some kind of exfoliant used once a week. It does the trick -...

    This is my current HG. I love that it has no strong scent which I hate, esp ones that linger on my skin. My one and only gripe, is that it's a tad runny so you have to be careful or too much spills...

    I had a trial size of this product, and I love it! It's so gentle, yet it gets rid of all the oil without drying out my skin. It smells very nice, and the pH balance is good; 5.5 :) If it weren't...

    Crappy McCrap. Dried out my face and didn't even cleanse it all that impressively. I agree with eurodivas, LRP can do better than this.

    I was very dissapointed with this cleanser. Really dried out my skin. La Roche Posay offer much better products than this one.
