No idea what effects it has

No idea what effects it has. Don’t see any difference from my ordinary liquid soap.

Great to manage acne prone skin

Of all the 2% salicylic acid products I’ve tried this one is superior for reducing breakouts!

Fantastic cleanser for acne-prone skin

This is my long-time favorite cleanser for acne-prone skin or during breakout. It doesn't irritate my skin, while fully cleansing my skin and removing any sunscreen, makeup, or excess oil. I always moisturize after using this. Be careful to fully close the cap so it doesn't leak out, since it sits on the cap.

Great cleanser!

I only use this occasionally but I do like it. A little goes a long way so it really lasts. Another great La Roche Posay product!

Good for acne!

I believe this has greatly decreased the number of new acne lesions I get. I love that face feels very clean and refreshed after using this. It can be a little drying however if used 2x a day. I do wish this was sulfate free and then it’d be perfect, but it works so will continue to use unless I find something better.

Effective cleanser

Love gel cleansers - this cleans my skin thoroughly without drying out my skin. Tightens my pores and keeps acne at bay. Great price, works better than more expensive cleansers I’ve tried. Definitely recommend.

Great for pores

I have large pores. I have used this for a few days and definitely noticed it decongest the surface of my pores and they appear smaller. Face feels clean and refreshed. If you have dry skin like myself maybe use once per day & follow with a good moisturizer! But love this cleanser.

Amazing

I have been using the La-Roche Posay Effaclar products for about 4 months and it has been great for my skin. I typically buy the Effaclar kit that comes with the cleanser, toner, and treatment, but I was able to buy from LovelySkin at a cheaper price and greater quantity! Shipping was super fast, and I will definitely buy again!

Avg cleanser, bad packaging

This cleanser is fine.... i think it cleans my face well but leaves it dry. But the packaging needs to be improved. The cap never closes all of the way and product leaks out. So I have to balance it on my vanity upside down so product doesn't spill out.

My fav!!!

I have been using this cleanser for 2 years and has mantained my skin under control. I used to struggle with acne in my forehead and my cheeks but now I rarely have a pimple. I use it at night and during the day I use Toleraine Purifying Foaming Cleanser. Fav combo!!!

Great for teen skin

My teenager loves this and has used it for a couple of years. Gentle enough for sensitive skin that is prone to mild breakouts.

Should be good!

Honestly I got it for a friend who has a lot of acne & breakouts & he didn’t give me any feedback, probably because he didn’t use any other anti-acne products and of course, a cleanser is not enough to fight such a serious skin condition! But I know that it’s good because many years ago, a former dermatologist gave it to my sister to also had acne as a teenager! I just hope that it doesn’t dry the skin up, as addressing acne doesn’t mean dehydrating your face!!

Great Cleanser

I've used the Toleriane Purifying Foaming cleanser for a few years, but I've replaced it with this. The minty feeling feels so cooling, especially in the summer. It foams well and I really needed the salicylic acid to clear my pores. After a few days, the hardened keratin plugs on my chin have disappeared. I'll be sticking with this cleanser from now on.
