Q: This is not really a question but in the description it says fragrance free, unscented, no fragrance added, 3 different times. When i look at the ingredient list it literally says fragrance/parfume.

Q: There's an inaccuracy with the ingredients description. It is listed as unscented but if you visit La Roche Posay's website for this exact product, it says it contains fragrance.

The best gel for normal to acne-prone combination/oily skin. I recommend wetting your hands, conscientiously applying the right amount of product, rubbing into a lather and gently cleansing your face.

I absolutely love this product. I have acne prone skin and this non-pore clogging gel has done absolute wonders for my skin. My skin is also very sensitive and has never caused any irritations.
Deep cleansing indeed!

First time using the cream cleanser and I love it! You can feel after using how different the skin feels and looks. I use only once a day, every night. Although my skin is oily, I don’t want to be too harsh on it so in the morning I use the Effaclair regular cleanser. I believe adding a deep cleansing regimen to my skincare routine was an important step, specially because I use serums, moisturizer and sunscreen everyday. I got imagine that although is a good practice it also leaves some buildups in my skin. Strongly recommend the use of the deep cleanser.

I have a combination skin so for me is very important to find a cleanser which can do its job and leave my skin soft and not greasy. And this is the one! It really does its job just perfectly. What I also like about this product is that it is without parabens. It is also without fragrance which I don’t like in face cosmetics.
It's good for your skin

I love using this La Roche-Posay cream cleanser to wash my face after returning home from work or after cooking. My face feels so soft and clean. It smells good too. No irritations. Just small amount needed to clean the entire face. Really love this product!

Al - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I normally like this product line, but there is fragrance in this face wash, even though the description of the product says there isn’t any fragrance. The scent is really obvious. For me, this did not work as well for oily skin as some of the other La Roche-Posay face washes do.

Misslew - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Worked great at first. I was hopeful bc I’ve had good luck with this brand before- the micellar water and B5 balm… My skin is oily/sensitive so I’m always looking for a mild gel cleanser. The strong grapefruit scent of this face wash was unexpected. By day three I experienced some eye irritation, and knew I had to return it.
