La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel is a cleanser formulated for oily, acne-prone skin. Its action is based on a combination of surfactants - Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Coco-Betaine - which ensure effective removal of excess sebum, impurities and pollution residues without excessively unbalancing the hydrolipidic film, thanks to the softening effect of Coco-Betaine. Zinc PCA is the key active ingredient in this formula: it exerts a sebum-regulating action by limiting sebum production, and has mild antibacterial properties, helping to reduce the proliferation of bacteria involved in acne. PEG-8 and PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate act as solubilizers and texturizers, promoting the formation of a fine, homogeneous foam. Caprylyl Glycol provides a complementary preservative function and a light moisturizing effect. This product is suitable for combination to oily skin prone to imperfections, dilated pores and shine. It is not recommended for reactive dry or sensitive skin, due to the presence of SLS, which can be dehydrating with repeated use.

safe bet
my dermatologist recommended it and i've been using it for over ten years. it's the cleanser that doesn't dry out my skin or give me more pimples. it doesn't necessarily treat them, but it does its job of cleansing and allowing me to apply stronger active ingredients and creams afterwards. a good base.

Too irritating
Even for oily teenage skin, this cleanser is too aggressive, drying and irritating the skin.

cleans well but dries out
I've used it for a long time, but it dries out the skin and doesn't make it any less oily. use it occasionally or only in the evening with a good routine behind it... I think it's a very good purifying cleanser, but there are better, less aggressive products out there.
