Great for cystic acne!
So I have bad cystic acne and was recommended this product and I can say it has definitely helped and decreased my breakouts and cleared up the horrible breakout I had before I got this! It's a nice gel and foams up real nice and smooth. It's not a thick heavy gel either. It's very nice on the skin and no strong scents/fragrance. It doesn't dry my skin out and pairs well with their double terrain moisturizer!

Excellent product at a great price!
The La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser with 2% salicylic acid has made such a difference in my skin. It cleans thoroughly without over-drying and really helps keep breakouts under control. My skin feels fresh, smooth, and balanced after every use. High-quality skincare that actually works. I’m very impressed and will definitely keep repurchasing!

Worth the purchase
Good quality, not too thick, and it does emulsify very well. I has good ingredients, especially the salicylic acid for acne prone skin like mine. Is not too hard and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry. I pair it with their B5 moisturizer & my skin stays happy.

Really strong for oily/acne‑prone skin — just needs the right support
What I liked: The 2% salicylic acid, combined with LHA and glycerin, was clearly formulated for oily, acne‑prone skin. The brand says it “deeply cleanses, reduces surface oil by up to 47%,” and is “fragrance free, oil free, non‑comedogenic, suitable for sensitive skin.” ShopSavvy +4 laroche-posay.us +4 Influenster +4 After a few weeks of use, I noticed fewer clogged pores, smoother texture, and somewhat less frequent breakouts (especially in the T‑zone and around my chin). From other users: “It’s terrific for acne‑prone skin, reduces oil and prevents breakouts.” Influenster +2 Influenster +2 The gel texture and foaming action are pleasant — it gives a “clean” feel without feeling like you’re scrubbing your skin raw. One user noted “the gel itself is quite runny… after rinsing my skin it feels incredibly soft and cleansed without any residue.” Influenster +1 Good “trust factor”— it’s from a reputable brand, dermatologist‑tested, targeted for the exact skin issues I had. That helps. What could be better / things to keep in mind: Because it’s a stronger acne‑targeted cleanser, if your skin is normal to dry (rather than oily) you might feel some tightness or dryness. Several users reported dryness or flakiness, especially around sensitive zones. ShopSavvy +1 Some users commented on the packaging/dispensing: the product is somewhat “runny” and the tube cap may leak if it stands cap‑down. For example on Amazon: “the bottle is constantly leaking… I will not buy this anymore.” Amazon While it helps with breakouts, it's not a full cure for serious, cystic or hormonal acne all by itself. One review said “it may not be effective for severe acne.” bestsellerreviews.net Because there’s active acid (salicylic) you’ll want to pair it with a good moisturizer and maybe limit use if your skin starts showing signs of barrier stress (redness, sensitivity). For budget‑conscious buyers: given the brand and performance, it’s a bit more expensive than basic cleansers. My verdict: If you have oily skin, frequent breakouts, clogged pores, maybe blackheads or excess shine, the Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser is a very good choice. I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars. I would buy it again — but I’d go into it knowing: Use a moisturizer afterward. Don’t expect miraculous overnight results, but consistency helps. If your skin is sensitive or already dry, maybe use it only once a day (or alternate nights) rather than twice immediately.

Great for oily sensitive/acne prone skin
My skin is currently oily/acne prone/textured/sensitive/and I also have rosacea. I was recommended this face wash by my dermatologist. I purged/broke out for about a week and a half, but then my skin cleared up. It never irritated my skin. It also didn't suck the life out it. It was nice and gentle, and non stripping. Perfect coming cleanser for oily skin types. I do like this cleanser a lot except that it has menthol in it for a "cooling" effect. I really wish that wasn't in the ingredients, but I guess it didn't irritate my sensitive skin. It has the potential to be irritating to skin. I also wish that it came in a pump bottle instead of a squeeze tube. But that's just me nitpicking. Also, keep away from the eyes at all cost. TLDR; It's a good cleanser if you are oily and acne prone. Didn't irritate my sensitive rosacea skin. Might cause purging. Has menthol in it.

Perfect daily moisturizer, gentle and effective
This La Roche-Posay facial moisturizer is excellent. It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and provides long-lasting hydration without feeling greasy. My skin feels soft, smooth, and well balanced throughout the day. It works great under makeup and does not irritate my sensitive skin. The quality is outstanding and a little goes a long way. I highly recommend this moisturizer for daily use.
