Review on La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying 🧼 Foaming Gel Cleanser: Perfect for Oily Skin! by Wei-Yin Hou ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

My favorite cleansing gel for problem skin, there is no substitute for it. I have been using it constantly since 2022 in combination with other Effaclar products. I bought in Italy, Germany, 2022, Japan, China and South Korea - and in all cases it pleased me with its excellent quality. My skin is combination type: dry and sensitive U-zone (cheekbones and chin) + oily T-zone, and the gel suits me perfectly in all respects. Packaging: high-quality plastic tube with a stable lid - convenient to store in a bathroom cabinet + the ability to use the contents to the end without cutting the tube. The manufacturer often produces sets with sachets of 7 ml and mini-versions of 50 ml - it is very convenient to take them with you on the road, on a business trip or on vacation. Texture: A very liquid transparent gel that does not foam much when in contact with water. Smell: Yes, but subtle and unobtrusive. Standard fragrance for pharmacy cosmetics. Cleansing: I use it at any time of the year, morning and evening, or as a second stage of washing to remove makeup residues after micellar water or hydrophilic oil. The gel deeply and efficiently cleanses the skin from excess sebum, urban dust, and the remnants of non-waterproof makeup. The skin is very clean and fresh. The gel does not leave a film, there is no feeling of cleansing "to a squeak" - the product is very soft and does not irritate the skin. Dryness after cleansing: I strictly monitor the regular moisturizing of the skin, and after washing I immediately apply a softner and a caring emulsion, so the gel does not dry or tighten my skin (however, like the rest of the cleansing gels and foams that I use). A nice bonus: the gel is obscenely economical. A standard tube of 200 ml is enough for me for more than six months of everyday use. So I think its price is justified.

Pros
  • Easy to find on sale in many countries of the world, high-quality cleansing.
Cons
  • For me they are not.
