Product Overview

Cleanse sensitive and oily skin with this gel facial cleanser.

Acne and blemishes can irritate an already sensitive complexion, leaving it inflamed, itchy and tight. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is an extremely gentle face wash that purifies without disrupting acne-prone skin. The foaming formula reaches deep down into pores to remove makeup, dirt, oil and debris and unclog pores. The gel formula removes excess oil to prevent a shiny complexion. Because it is gentle, this gel facial cleanser will not leave skin feeling tight or irritated. Before you treat your blemishes, use this face wash to prepare the complexion. 

La Roche Posay Effaclar gel cleanser is free of irritating ingredients.

Unlike many acne cleansers, La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is soap-free so it will not dry out the complexion or strip skin of its natural moisture. This product is also paraben-free, alcohol-free and oil-free so it is ideal for most skin types, especially oily. The advanced formula contains zinc to purify skin of excess oil and to help reduce inflammation. The foaming formula easily cleanses the complexion without the need for scrubbing and rubbing. Cleanse with this acne skin care product for clear pores and a healthy complexion.

gentle cleanser

My son loves it, and it is great for acne prone skin. Not too harsh yet effective. I love this brand because it is reasonably priced but gets the job done.

Purifying Gel

Nice cleanser for very oily skin with large pores. I like to use this in the summer months to help keep oil at bay. I prefer the cream cleanser during the cooler months.

Great

Great basic cleanser for oily skin. I've been using this to remove makeup with excellent results, but it's too drying now that it's winter, and it began to irritate the skina round my eyes. Great product if you need a break from active cleansers.

Good Cleanser

I needed a decent cleanser and bought this quickly before reading all the info below. I have dry skin and this is apparently for oily skin! But I have found that many more gentle cleansers still leave makeup and/or dirt (using some toner on a cotton ball after washing still showed stuff)--and this at least cleans very very well. I decided to keep it anyway and use it only once a day at night.

Great overall cleanser

This is a great cleanser for morning or in the evening to remove makeup. The only downside is that it lathers A LOT and can be difficult to rinse off entirely because the more you splash water on your face to rinse it off, the more it bubbles and creates more lather.

Good intense cleanser

I generally use a very mild cleanser in the morning and evening. However, I like to use this when I have heavy sunscreen I'm trying to remove. It works great!

So far so good

It smells really good and does not dry my face. I have oily skin but many of the oily skin products make me breakout or dry my face and have not had this problem so far. I use it every morning in combination with the effaclar cleanser with salicylic acid

My favorite cleanser

This is the best cleanser I have found for my oily skin. It is excellent at makeup removal and leaves my skin feeling super clean without making it too dry. The added benefit is the cost. Love La Roche-Posay!

Efflacar gel cleansing is a superior product

This range is not easily available in stores. Only the toleriane cleanser is available in stores but the effaclar range is more superior.
