Review: La Roche-Posay Effaclar A Gentle Yet Effective Cleanser for Oily Skin - I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser, and it’s a solid choice for anyone with oily, acne-prone, or combination skin. This cleanser provides a deep yet gentle cleanse without leaving the skin feeling tight or dry. Pros: ✔ Effectively Removes Excess Oil – Leaves the skin feeling clean and refreshed without stripping it. ✔ Gentle & Soap-Free Formula – Contains zinc PCA, which helps regulate oil production and reduce breakouts. ✔ Soothes & Calms Skin – Infused with thermal spring water, making it great for sensitive skin. ✔ Non-Comedogenic & Fragrance-Free – Won’t clog pores, and the mild scent is pleasant without being overpowering. Cons: ✖ Not Hydrating Enough for Dry Skin – If your skin is combination with dry areas, you may need a more hydrating cleanser. ✖ Might Not Remove Heavy Makeup – Best as a morning cleanser or a second cleanse if you wear makeup. Final Thoughts: If you struggle with excess oil, shine, or breakouts, this is a great daily cleanser to keep your skin balanced. It cleans deeply without irritation, making it ideal for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
Review: I highly recommend!! - I'm over 50 and I have never found something that removes makeup this easily and is so delicate on the skin. Buy this, you'll thank yourself later. Even if it's just for the time saving while removing makeup, but also for the way it restores your skin over time because there's less wear when removing your makeup. NO SCRUBBING OR STRETCHING or frustration when trying to remove eye liner or mascara. This works so well!! NO BURNING OR STINGING. The scent is very low but not wonderful. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this product tested on animals?**
A: Hi! Thanks for the opportunity to clarify. La Roche-Posay no longer tests any of its products or any of its ingredients on animals anywhere in the world, nor does La Roche-Posay delegate this task to others. You can read more about our policy here: http://bit.ly/1Npr1Dz.

**Q: What has caused the price to jump? I brought this in Dec 2019 for $14 and now in Oct 2020, it’s $20!**
A: There are two different kinds. This one has zinc and costs $20 and the one at target has niacinamide in ingredients but other than that both are pretty much same.

**Q: What is the ph level of this product?**
A: The pH of this formula is 5.5, which is similar to the skin's physiological pH.

**Q: Does this cleanser have the same ingredients as the deep cleansing foaming cream cleanser? Is the only difference between the two is how they lather?**
A: Hi Riss! We love that you want to learn more about our cleansers and we are happy to help! These two cleansers contain different formulations. Our Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser will lather, provide a gel texture, and contains zinc pidolate to effectively cleanse away dirt and oil while respecting skin's pH balance.  Our Effaclar Deep Cleansing Cream Cleanser will provide and intense foam, contains a creamy texture, and cleanses skin thoroughly and visibly while minimizing the look of pores while removing excess oil. We hope this information helps!
