DERMATOLOGIST INSIGHT


"Many of my patients further irritate their skin when using too many acne products. This cleanser with salicylic acid helps reduce acne and excess oil but is still gentle enough for sensitive skin.“

Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Jenny Liu

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Cleanser I Have Ever Purchased The La Roche Posay Medicated Effaclar Cleanser is the best cleanser to date, it clears up my acne and reduces my redness. It pairs well with my moisturizer as well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Oily Skin Game Changer My skin was excessively oily and nothing was working. One wash and I could feel a difference. Immediately purchased the corresponding toner and moisturizer. It’s been 3 days and my face is producing significantly less oil.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Product has changed my life No other acne cleanser has cleared my skin up like this one has. I have tried so many different products and routines but nothing seemed to do the trick until this. I started seeing results almost immediately and my skin is almost entirely cleared up now. Highly recommend

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Burned my skin This cleanser worked great for a while until it burned my skin. I thought I may have done something wrong, unfortunately the next day the same thing happened and worse. I’m not sure what went wrong. Also every time I used this product it felt like my skin was really cold like a minty feeling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Acne prone skin I love this face wash for my acne prone skin! It has salacylic acid which is great for acne, but it’s not too drying where your face feels tight after washing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Holy grail My favorite cleanser. Combined with a prescription product, this keeps my skin clear. PLEASE MAKE A TRAVEL SIZE I WILL BUY ALL OF THEM! I detest refilling those horrible reusable things.
