Cleansing and good for sensitive skin
I have sensitive skin and use this as a daily night wash as recommended by my dermatologist. It has made a difference and I use it as well as a twice weekly exfoliator.Love love love
Have been using this for years. Love using it after an oil cleanser.Not difference
I have oily, acne prone skin. I used the entire tube of this and can honestly say I saw no benefit. I didn't see anything get worse though.. so it's just a standard plain cleanser in my eyes. Wouldn't particularly recommend but wouldn't advise against either.Manages acne well.
This has been a go to for my daughter. She’s tried a lot of chemist options, but this brand reduced the frequency without drying her skin out, and managed all the raised red pimples. I buy this again and again!Wonderful cleanser!!!
Highly recommend. It was recommended to me by my derm. It’s been my go to cleanser ever since. Cleanses the face so beautifully.One of the best cleansers for me
Love this cleanser, I’ve been using it for years. Works wonders on my sensitive, acne prone skin.Very Effective
Great product that really helps prevent acne breakouts. I use in combination with a cleansing balm for the best results. Feels great on the skin, removing oil, but doesn't leave the skin too dry.My favourite
My favourite cleanser, if I feel a breakout coming I use this, then I wake up with lovely skin.Gentle cleanser
I’ve been using this product for 3 years now. It’s really gentle and works perfectly for my combination skin. I usually use this after my makeup remover to clean any leftover makeup and cleanse my pores. Only after I apply my favourite moisturiser or serum. It also reduces the size of pores.Really great cleanser
I love this cleanser, really great for oily skin with out being super stripping. I have found sometimes though that if use a cleansing balm first and then go in with this, as a double cleansing, it can become a bit strippingThe smell is too much
I have dry skin acne prone skin and decided to give this a go as I’d ran out of my regular cleanser and wanted to try something new. Never again. The smell of it is so strong that I feel like it burnt my nose hairs, gave me a sinus headache. My skin felt so dry and horrible after using it.Gets the job done
It does as it says, it gets the job done but I do feel it’s quite expensive for what it isFantastic cleanser
This is a fantastic, gentle cleanser which really does “foam” well when applied on a wet face. 0.5 stars rating less only because it contains SLES which is an ingredient I try to avoid because of my perioral dermatitis prone skin.Amazing!
I’ve repurchased this product multiple times and have travelled extensively with it. It’s fantastic at cleansing the skin, and the foaming formula really digs deep in removing excess product. I don’t have oily skin but it still works wonders for me.Good
Cleanses the face without drying the skin excessively.The perfect face wash
This is my go to face wash. I have used it exclusively for the past two years and am so happy with the results. My skin feels clean and calm but not dry at all.Pretty good
Kinda drying but still very goodRate this!!!
I rate this product for someone who deals with hormonal pimples. This helps maintain them and make them less angry. This bottle is massive so will last you a long time. Worth the money!!Good cleanser
I've tried a million cleansers over the years, and this is one of the best foaming cleansers for people with normal, combination or oily skin. It provides a good clean without overly-stripping your skin and is simply a good, reliable product.Fantastic
Fantastic foaming gel domains wellEffaclar range
I brought the Effaclar range - and it’s been really good definitely worth a try! I do find it does dry my skin out a lot, so I do add some extra moisturiser as part of my routineLove it
One of my favourite cleansers, I wish it was a bit more affordableObsessed
The only cleanser I trust to use every day, twice a day, morning and night. It’s so gentle and cleans my skin so deeply.My go to everyday cleanser
Yes yes yes!! This is a great everyday cleanser for my skin. I am prone to acne and have combination skin. This leaves me feeling refreshed. Will not change from La Roche products, especially this cleanser. I do alternate now and then with their other cleanser (the green one) but this is my normal everyday oneBest cleanser
Everytime I get close to running out of this I HAVE to buy more. Have tried other cleansers but never made my skin feel as clean & soft as this one doesGood cleanser
love this cleanser good for combo skinoily skin cleanser
if you have oily skin you will love this, and if you use it in conjunction with the green micro peeling cleanser aswell your skin will feel heavenly. great cleanser for the price!!🫶
even tho the price is a little steep for a cleanser this is my fav. love the way it leaves my skin feeling. perfect for any skin type id sayNot a fan
Not a good fit for my normal type skin. Caused lots of little whiteheads on my forehead and cheeks. Texture and scent not great either.works well for my pimple prone skin
love this gel for my pimple prone skin. it cleans well and keeps your skin hydrated not dry. my skin can get very oily and this strips the oil and make up away without drying out your skin. i really like it!It worked for me!
I have sensative (prone to getting eczema on my face), conbination skin (oily t-zone) and truly feel as though this product has helped me to regulate and control my breakouts. Same as most people, I've tried a slew of cleansers with varying degrees of results, this one certainly is the front runner and I've been using it now for 18 months. It's gentle enough to use twice a day if you feel you need...Read MoreGood for some
This was a good cleanser for my chin breakouts, but was too drying for the rest of my skin unfortunately. Felt nice to use, nice gel consistency and good price point.Great product
I have sensitive skin and this product was amazing. If left my skin feeling clean and didn't irritate me at all. I use it every day.Wonderful - will buy again!
Absolutely love this cleanser! Good for my sensitive skin and removed makeup quickly. Will definitely purchase again.Love it
Really love it , done magic to my oily skin cleaned very wellBought for the boyfriend
not for myself, but boyfriend loves it! foams a lot and has a strongish scent! affordale and does the job if no major concerns!Love this cleanser and it lasts ages
This cleanser is probably my favourite La Roche-Posay product. Takes off my sunscreen and makeup well. Both my husband and I use it and it lasts us a few months at least!easy peasy effaclar squeezy
This cleanser is so worth the cost!! I have 2 cleansers (another one for the basin and this one for in the shower) and it's lasted me nearly a year! You only need a small amount in your hands and it foams up really well. I don't know if it helped with breakouts and acne, but it left my oily skin feeling well cleansed and not stripped.Effective
One of the best products to keep acne at bay. Great subtle scent.Decent but smells like shit
This cleanser is okay, but it dried out my combination skin and broke me out. Also this cleanser literally smells like shit which makes it very unpleasant to use.Great
tightens the pores of oily and thickened skin, without causing dryness.Finally!
Finally a scrub that is gentle on my dermatitis / rosacea. I like that there's no scent (this brand does that well!), it means it can be soothing on my skin.Amazing
I really enjoy using this cleanser. It works a treat staff removing make up and leaves my skin feeling fresh and very clean.Nice
Super clean result, removes makeupTake care
This cleanser left my normal to dry skin feeling tight and stripped of all oil. I'd recommend anyone with a skin type on the dry side to exercise caution with this product.Super clean result, removes makeup.
This product is my absolute go to face wash. Whilst I do not suffer from acne, my skin does react to hormonal changes once a month and this effectively reduces the redness of anything that decides to appear and shuts down anything else. I have typical irish skin with faded freckles and am in my 40's. This is a clear, thick liquid and a little goes a long way. This foams up beautifully and leaves y...Read MoreEveryday Hero
This is a great, basic, everyday cleanser that I think would suit lots of skin types. I have oily to normal skin. It foams up and gives a nice deep clean. I am satisfied with the quality of the product for the price.Nice
refreshing, gentle, and helps reduce oilsNice
daily use gel cleanserGood
Perfect for sensitive skinGentle but effective cleanser
I have sensitive acne prone skin, which means it is hard to find skincare that doesnt either irritate or dry out my skin. This cleanser is perfect. It is light, refreshing, gentle, and helps reduce oils and breakouts without any dryness or irritation. Perfect.Perfect for sensitive skin babes
I have been using this cleanser for about 3 months now and I am hooked. It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or stripped and is perfectly gentle for those of us with sensitive skin. I'm on my second bottle and will definitely go back for a third!A bit stripping
This could be a really nice cleanser for some people, but I found it too stripping on my skin for everyday use as it left it dry and tight. Removes makeup well though.Fav

Has a very clean smell and feel, makes skin soft and doesn't dry it outValue
Great value for priceExtremely Stripping
Currently struggling with hormonal, cystic acne. This cleanser leaves my face looking worse off than before I used it, drying out my skin excessively. This had made my face overcompensate and produce more oil throughout the day. For something advertised as a gentle cleanser, it sure is quite stripping on my skin. Will not purchase again. This is only my personal experience and it seems to have hel...Read MoreGentle

Gets rid of dirt and oil, and your skin feels clean fresh!It has fragrance in it so be warned
I bought this a little while ago. I used it maybe twice & I threw it in the bin as the reviews elsewhere are quite horrible and it has fragrance in it! It is also quite strippingNice

Perfect for acne prone skin in your 20's to early 30's. I enjoyed using it together with Effaclar DuoFor oily skin
This cleanser was great for my oily skin - my skin felts clean but not stripped. It does sting my eyes a little bit however but it's tolerable.Good anti acne gel
Perfect for acne prone skin in your 20's to early 30's. I enjoyed using it together with Effaclar Duo.amazing cleanser for oil control and tackling and preventing breakouts
I am up to my second bottle of this cleanser and I absolutely love it. It does a really great job at tackling breakouts and preventing them. I also have oily skin and it helps to control the oil. It leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped. Highly recommend! It also comes in a travel size which is super handy. Great price too!Love
First cleanser I have found that does not cause breakouts. It leaves the skin feeling so clean and soft.so goooood
definitely the best inexpensive cleanser on the market, couldn't be happier with how my skin feels!Super drying
Great for someone with very oily skin that can stand quite soapy cleansers, otherwise I find this might not be gentle enough. Was still a little stripping, and I didn't use that much, for me when my skin was oily.Not for sensitive skin
I have dry and sensitive skin and i did not like this cleanser. It was very drying on the skin and did not cleanse very well tooBest face wash
Gets rid of dirt and oil, and your skin feels clean fresh! Love this cleansing wash!Quite nice
A nice, gentle cleanser that doesn't sting my eyes which is always an issue for me. Good price too.A lovely gentle foaming cleanser
This is the perfect cleanser. It is gentle but removes make-up well. It makes your skin feel very clean but not overly stripped. I go between using this and the one by la-roche in the green bottle with Salacylic acid for when my pores are feeling more clogged.Must have
This is the only cleanser I will use, it helped my skin a lot when I was breaking out and helps control oilinessFinally a cleanser that CLEANS
I've tried so many facial cleansers over the years and thought I would give this one ago as it came up as recommended for adult acne, dull skin and I love a foaming wash. It is fantastic. You need such a small amount, and it foams up in your hands instantly and keeps foaming when you massage it around your wonderful face. Rinsing away to feel fully cleansed and taught, which I mean in a good way....Read MoreGood
Great face wash for oily skin it can be drying but would definitely recommendCleans well but can be drying
I found this cleanser does work well, but can be drying for the skin afterwards. You need a decent moisturiser to help combat this.Helped clear my skin
This face wash cleared my blackheads! Can be drying but would definitely recommendLOVE IT
I have really stubborn acne and this wash really helps to clear it. I love this face wash, I just keep coming back to it.Best cleanser for oily skin
This is one of the best cleansers that I use. It will be good if you have an oily and sensitive skin. I recommended La Roche Posay foaming gel cleanser to Forshety website.Gentle cleanser
This cleanser works well for my combination acne prone skin. It is not drying. It does not strip my skin of its natural moisture.Basic & Affordable
This a perfect staple for my skincare regimen. It has a nice foamy consistency thats great for my oily skin. It feels like my skin is getting a good clean. Not too pricey.efficient, sooth
One of my favorite cleansers. Help to remove dead skin. suitable for sensitive skinGood, but would not purchase again
I initially really liked this cleanser clearing up some breakouts, but I have found it dry my skin out quite a lot. I will finish the bottle but will not purchase it again.Good cleanser, but didn’t do anything for my breakouts
This was recommended to me to help with breakouts. It cleanses pretty well, but I found it to be a little drying. Unfortunately, it didn’t really do anything to improve my spots. I plan to finish it, but I don’t think I would repurchase it.Love!
Love this cleanser, so reasonable priced but amazing quality for oily skin! It smells nice & leaves my skin feeling refreshedGreat cleanser but a bit drying
I have been using this cleanser for about 2 weeks now and so far it's been treating my skin well. I have oily and acne-prone skin and I have noticed that I am breaking out a lot less frequently. The only thing to note about this cleanser is that it has a strong fragrance and is a bit drying on the skin so I would highly recommend pairing it with a rich moisturizer.Did not work for me at all!
I have oil & acne prone skin.. Was looking to switch cleanser to see if my skin would change from my current cleanser i was using.. After a couple uses it DRIED OUT my chin area and the corners of my mouth so bad that it looked like i had psoriasis or some sort of skin condition.. that took over two weeks to heal/ get back to normal.. I thought maybe i'd have to use it once every couple of da...Read Moreneed this product
I love this cleanser! I won't be purchasing any other cleanser for a long timeActually does stuff
Although my skin hasn't completely cleared up (i think it never will) this has been the one cleanser that I've actually seen results from, for my combo skin. I double cleanse with this every day, I'm not quite through my first bottle and buying more rn. If you're wearing make up, use something else to remove. It doesn't work for that, I tried. No regrets buying this.Best cleanser!
Skin feels fresh and clean, foams up well and has really cleared up my breakouts! Highly recommend this cleanser to anyone that gets pimples and has oily skin!Great product
After having kids I started breaking out, I’ve always had oily skin but never really had breakouts. I was recommended this product by a dermatologist and I have to say that it cleans my skin without any irritation and it’s affordable. I’m hooked - I love this cleanser.la roche posay
I love this brand for acne solutions that are affordable but don't irritate my skin or are too stripping. This cleanser gets rid of sunscreen with no problems and leaves my skin clean.Good cleanser
Great for breakouts. Foams ups quite nicely without drying out the skin.
Not so great for removing makeup so best to use something beforehand.
My new holy grail!
I purchased this product in an attempt to soothe a terrible hormonal breakout on my chin and jaw, after reading reviews here and on other websites. This product absolutely saved my skin and was worth every cent. Within a week, my spots had reduced significantly. They're now nearly invisible. I still definitely have milia, some acne scars and one persistent pimple but the change is really noticeabl...Read More
