Review on Effaclar Deep Cleansing Foaming Cream Cleanser by La Roche-Posay: Daily Face Wash for Oily Skin to Reduce Pore Appearance by Shonda Smykle

I almost never write reviews but this one really stands out. I'm in my 40's and have always had very oily skin and very, very large pores on my nose and cheeks. I've always been shy and embarrassed. I use makeup and feel like I could never go 2 hours without getting wet, I just look and feel disgusting. I'm also a known curmudgeon, so I've never used "trendy" skincare products. I bought this after a particularly stressful few months of feeling like I looked terrible. OK. This goes for all my siblings with large pores and oily skin - it's really awesome! First of all, it lathers like a BEAST, so not much is enough (so don't worry, your tight-fisted friends, it's a good investment!). The tube is really big and lasts a long time given the foam factor. Feels like it cleans deeply without drying out the skin. I mean it when I say I'm so excited - a week and my pores are less open and dirty and my face looks less red and so beautiful. It's no wonder, of course, but it boosted my self-esteem tremendously. I was so impressed I bought the Effeclar Mat Moisturizer and it is very good too. I am a very happy customer. I'm not a rep or anything - just someone who's struggled with my skin for a long time and finally found something that really works.
