Rated 5 out of 5 by from In Love Best thing ever! I noticed the effects quickly and fell head over heels for this stuff. I also use it on my back too because I breakout there a lot and it works wonders on my skin. My face is a bit sensitive but this makes it feel better. I only wash my face once a day because I feel like twice does dry it out a bit much but even using it once a day it works so well. I've gotten my best friend hooked on it too. She has very sensitive skin so she was worried but she has also fell in love with it and uses it on her body as well and has found it to work wonders. It has both helped our self esteem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best cleanser I’ve tried! 💕 I just started using this product. I’ve been eagerly to use this cleanser! I bought it at Walgreens. I think I love it. I really see a difference in my skin with the first use. It doesn’t dry my face, I don’t break out, & it’s not oily. It does strip my natural oils from my face. Sometimes I have a very dry skin during the summer & winter but since I’ve switched up a bit my skin care routine and being consistent, my face right now feels like a combination type skin. I’m glad my face is no longer bumpy, feels texture, no more enlarged pores and very soft smooth feeling! I used to use Cetaphil Benzoyl. I still have somewhat left but the Effeclar Cleanser does the job better!! Thank You La Roche Posay. Btw, I’ve never received my free sample from the Toleraine Moisturizer :(
