Amazing product

It is simply amazing I have blemishes on my back and tried so many products like sand and salt scrubs, soaps and body brushes - nothing worked. I thought Effaclar while traveling in Portugal abcs fell in love with it. It quickly cleared my back from all pimples. Blemishes faded and ended up going my away fully within days. I will not stop using it for anything.

My skin got irritated

I bought this so i could have better complexion and remove my acne scars and been using this product for 2 weeks now. When I wake up the other day my face started to get itchy but I just let that go and today when i wake up my face and eyes was swollen and red and burning I could not go out without a face mask.

Question

What is the difference between the Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel Cleanser and the Effaclar + M Foaming Gel Cleanser? I bought both, but should I only use one or the other? When is the proper application for these products? Thank you!

Hi Anne, Great question! The Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel is a cleansing and purifying cleanser designed for oily skin, blackheads and mild acne-prone skin. Whereas the Effaclar Micro-Peeling Gel Cleanser has additional ingredients such as 2% salicylic acid, best suited to those with moderate acne-prone skin. If you're unsure, you're also welcome to try SpotScan, our free acne diagnosis tool which will provide a recommended routine. Simply click the following link and follow the prompts - https://www.laroche-posay.com.au/spotscan.html Frequency is skin-dependent. You are welcome to introduce the Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel Cleanser slowly to make sure it's tolerated. You may wish to start with once a week usage, on areas that need the extra exfoliating boost and increase to a usage frequency of 2-3 times a week if tolerated. It can be used twice daily – am and pm – if tolerated. Hope this assists! Best wishes, La Roche-Posay AU/NZ

It works

I love this product so much. I have been using it for a month and I can see fantastic results already. It leaves my skin clean but not dry and all my acne has calmed right down. I’m so happy.

Greatly reduced and controlled my breakouts

I have a similar experience to an earlier reviewer re: hormonal adult acne at 30. Before my hormonal acne, I previously had issues with dry skin, so I was a little worried about picking this product up and ruining my moisture barrier. Very pleased to report I haven’t experienced stripping, and while my hormonal issues are ongoing, this wash has significantly improved and helped control the acne. I started alternating between my gentle cleanser and this one every second day in the first couple of weeks and have worked my way up to nightly (and morning sometimes if I have a workout). I’ve only been on it for about 5 weeks now so I have a long way to go, but I’m sure there’ll be increased benefits over time in tandem with some prescriptions to tackle the underlying hormonal issues.

Causing purging, however I can really feel it work

I bought this just a week ago and have been using it day and night. I’m 18 years old and have suffered from chin acne for a while now however, it was never as bad as it is now. I had lost all hoe and decided to buy the entire effeclar routine. Whilst the deep cleanse causes purging in my skin, I can really feel it working and tough blemishes I have had are fading away. I can’t wait to see what my skin will look like after the purging cycle of 8 weeks is over. Thank you LRP!

Great cleanser

I bought this cleanser three weeks ago and I really like how fresh and clean my skin feels. I have been using it once a day, however after using it for a couple of weeks I started noticing some dry patches and redness around my eyes, nose and lips and some tiny red bumps too. Should I reduce the frequency or stop using it completely?

Game Changer

My dermatologist recommended this wash twice daily in conjunction with the Effaclar duo plus moisturiser for my new onset adult hormonal acne (I’m 30). I can’t begin to explain how good this wash is. My skin is usually very oily and acne prone and it’s helped control the cystic acne around my mouth and chin dramatically in just 3 weeks! It’s not drying or stripping and my skin feels clean and refreshed after using it.

Love this so much! My skin has never been softer!

This is a must have!!!!! I am just wondering if this can be used every day or what is the recommended usage of this product? Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out to share your feedback, Olivia. Our Effaclar Micro-Peeling Gel Cleanser can be used twice daily – am and pm – if tolerated. We suggest introducing the twice daily routine slowly 1-2 times a week at first to establish your skin's tolerance. We hope this helps. Best wishes, La Roche-Posay AUNZ

Perfectly pleasant

One of the nicest smelling products on the market for its purpose: not 'perfumey' and not clinical, and it has a gentle tingle.
