I've had skin problems for years - both adult acne and cutaneous lupus. La Roche-Posay's Effaclar line is both gentle and effective. It has not cured my lupus, but it has reduced the roughness and blotchiness, and made my skin smoother and more elastic - just generally healthier feeling. I use the Deep Cleansing Foaming Cream, the Effaclar Toner, the Effaclar K Acne Treatment Fluid (a great exfoliator) and La Roche-Posay's Anthelios Moisturizer. All are fabulous products.

If you're familiar with Leslie Baumann's book _The Skin Type Solution_, this is one of the face washes she recommends for oily skin. Since I also have sensitive skin (my skin type is OPWS), I was worried that it would be too drying for me, but I really do like this! The foaming action is definitely more subtle than other foaming cleansers I've used, but it suds up nicely and has a light, pleasant scent that is non-irritating.

Since it contains salicylic acid, it's designed for oily and acne-prone skin. I don't have acne (just the occasional pimple), but do have that classic oily T-zone, and this seems to help reduce the shine.

What I also like about this is that it is excellent at removing makeup; when I wipe a cotton pad with toner over my face after cleansing with this, no makeup residue is left on the cotton pad.

Since I am worried about this being too drying, especially as winter approaches, I will probably save this for nighttime use since it does an excellent job at removing makeup, and use something a bit less drying in the mornings.

I can also see this tube lasting a really long time since you only need a small amount of product to wash your whole face. The price is high, but I will definitely re-purchase it when I run out since it works so well.

This may seem pricey for a face wash, but the tube will last forever if you use it properly. You only need the tiniest amount to lather up your whole face. I have only been using the product for about a week, but already my face feels smoother, less oily and the tone seems to be improving. I have to rinse quite a bit to get all of the soap off, but once it's all off, my skin feels super clean.

I used to buy a different facial cleanser every time I needed a new bottle. But I have FINALLY found "The One"! While this is probably not what you want if you are looking for a FOAMING cleanser, it is a nice creamy texture. I need only use a tiny bit, and it leaves my combination skin feeling squeaky clean. Well worth the price!

It's not the foamy-ist cleaner I've ever used - but it does the job. I started using La Roche-Posay products in the past few years and have noticed my skin condition is quite improved - although that could be due to my daily use of the clairsonic brush - but the cleanser seems to do it's job - I don't have blackheads or crazy breakouts anymore...thankfully, now that I'm in my 30s I've found something that seems to work.

This is hands down the BEST cleanser I've ever used! I've struggled with oily skin, congested pores, and acne for years. I saw a difference literally after the first use. It left my face feeling cleaning but not tight and my pores looked smaller. It may be a bit on the expensive side, but it will last you a very long time. It only takes a pea sized amount! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with skin troubles. I feel overall my skin is more balanced and the texture and clarity has improved significantly.

I love how thickly this cleaner foams. It really gives you the feeling that it's working well. The results were not noticably different from Neutrogena's Oil Free cleanser, for me, but still an enjoyable product.

I have been using it for two weeks and i like it. I have an acne prone face. It does not make me breakout, after I use the product I can feel that my face is really clean, even without using a tonic to remove my makeup.Moreover, very small amount of product is enough for each time. So,I would reccomend it.

My dermatologist recommend me this product, and I love it, I have use it for more than a year and a half and I won't change it.

It's the first face wash to completely get rid of my acne.. But it turns out, I'm also allergic to it.. I'd get red itchy bumps around my body after several days of use..
