Customer Review: Absolutely good
I bought it mainly for the black bracelet and it is the only one that has a defect in the material, it always seems to be dirty and peeling, it already came with this strange texture, unfortunately I missed the deadline to return it.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2023
So far, I have used this foaming cleanser all week. The cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean, free of the day's mineral makeup products and removes the oily, shiny skin I have very refreshed and cleansed. My face felt clean, soft and not tight. I am in my upper 40s and I don't want products that make my skin feel too dry or tight. This cleanser leaves my skin feeling soothed, clean and fresh.
I am also ordering their Effaclar MToner to complement the cleanser and I will slowly build up the Effaclar line into my skin routine, including the eye cream. For someone who has had those cystic, hormonal big red bump pimples, I hope this will be my answer to finally get things under control. My dermatologist gave me Retin A Micro to put on my giant pimples. All the Retin A did was dry it up a bit, flake my skin along the surrounding area and then as the pimple dries up, it makes it super dark and leaving me with this very dark pigmented scar. So, I quit using the Retin A too. I bought the Effaclar Duo acne treatment because it has peroxide which I hope will lighten up the pimple and its scars.
I'll have to update this review after a month or two of using the La Roche-Posay products. But so far, I like the way my skin looks and feel.
Update: Feb. 13, 2013:
I returned this product as it was overly drying to my oily skin. It was very effective at drying the oily skin; actually too much for me. Perhaps for a teenager with extreme oily and acne skin types.
I have combination skin time (not totally oily and not totally dry). After using this, my face was noticeably less oily and also felt nice and soft. However, if I used this alone, I would have a tight/dry feeling to my face afterwards.
My skin routine is to pat the skin dry after using this cleanser and then I apply my other products. I think having a moisturizer is the only essential one to avoid that dry/tight feeling. Personally, before the moisturizer I like to use a Vitamin C serum. In the morning I apply a sunscreen at the end after the moisturizer.
