[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great, I really like this cleanser. It works well just using the cleanser (I’ll update once I try it with the second part). Theres no scent that I’ve noticed and the texture/after feel is lovely. My face always feels very clean and not slimy/oily. It does seem to help some with acne breakouts as well.
Did not work for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not new to using benzoyl peroxide cleansers. However, I used this cleanser for one month and saw no improvement in my acne. I do not think it was causing it, but it wasn’t helping it.

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Effaclar Dual Action Acne Face Wash With 4% Benzoyl Peroxide. We appreciate you trying our benzoyl peroxide cleanser and sharing your feedback. We understand that skincare is a personal journey, and what works for one person might not work for another. While benzoyl peroxide is a common and effective acne treatment ingredient, individual responses can vary. We're sorry to hear it didn't provide the improvement you were hoping for. We encourage you to consult a dermatologist to discuss alternative treatment options that might be better suited to your specific skin needs. We also offer a range of other acne-fighting products that you may find beneficial.
Works really well, just needs some time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works really well and honestly, it’s a goood size bottle, you get a lot of product for the price! It took about 3 weeks for me to see any results, but I love the way it cleanses without leaving my skin feeling dry. My face is glowing! I also love that there’s no scent.
Gentle yet effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gently enough to use multiple times a week even with the exfoliating ingredients, leaves your skin feeling clean but not stripped, without a greasy or waxy feeling left behind. Only wish it were in a pump, but that’s not a huge deal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good cleanser!! I love La Roche Posay and this acne cleanser it’s not the exception! It’s a very lightweight cleanser to help to prevent new acne formation and clears all your face. It doesn’t dry or irritates at all. Doesn’t has any scent and it’s very gentle with the skin.
Really effective!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used it once and then stopped because of the controversy this brand and product have gone through. Honestly I got scared. When I used it, it did its job in cleansing but my face felt super dry after. Mind you I have oily skin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Cleanser is honestly one of the few acne cleansers that actually works without totally drying my skin out. It has a creamy, non-foaming texture that feels gentle going on, but you can tell it’s doing its job. It helps calm active breakouts pretty quickly and keeps new ones from popping up, especially if you’re consistent. It does have benzoyl peroxide, so I started slow to avoid dryness, but with moisturizer it’s totally manageable. Overall, it’s a solid go to if you’re dealing with acne and want something effective but not harsh.
Stregnth, that's not for sensitive skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's not a foaming wash, but I like that it had the benzoyl peroxide to be a strong acne fighting cleanser without the prescription. The only issue is it will irritate sensitive skin and irritated the crease of my nose. Otherwise, it think it's a good cleanser for people who need extra strength washes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how gentle but deep cleansing the product is. It spreads easily and foams well to wash face. Even though the cleanser has micro-exfoliating LHA there is no rough texture to the product. There is no strong scent just the benzoyl peroxide just it’s nothing crazy.
seem to be ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using this product off and on for the last month and I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my skin. It’s brought to surface a bunch of under the skin acne on my chin which has made it easier to treat. I still have a ways to go on my journey to rid them all but I’m glad I get to take La Roughe-Posay with me.
Gentle on sensitive skin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Did not really process or love. Breakouts flared and caused dryness. If the Effaclar La Roche-Posay Cleanser hasn't been good for your sensitive skin, it's totally understandable. Sometimes, even products that are marketed as gentle can irritate certain skin types. You might find that it feels too harsh or drying, which can lead to redness or discomfort. It could be worth trying a different cleanser that's specifically formulated for sensitive skin, maybe something more hydrating or soothing. Have you found any other products that work better for you?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The texture of this cleanser is like any other regular cleanser. I’d say for how good this works. It has a very nice price and the packaging is really nice too. The status of this isn’t the best but it’s kind of just like what any cleanser would smell like. I love it.

I have used both benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid cleaning products for YEARS. I would say that 99% of the time they are OK at that they claim to do. But the key here now, is that cleaning products are just part of your acne treatment regimen. In my quest to find a new acne treatment regimen for myself, I was pleased to find a product that combined the benefits of both chemicals - thus the DUO in the name. It is a well made product that is easy to apply and easy to remove. It does a wonderful job of cleaning my face, but it does aggravate the skin barrier a bit. I am willing to accept this barrier trauma (and treat it accordingly with other products) in exchange for some amazingly responsive and remarkably clearer skin.
