Q: Why would you make a cleanser for face with sodium laureth sulfate in it ? Which is a very harsh surfactant.

submitted by Concerned buyer - 1 month ago
  • A: Hello there! Thank you for sharing your concern regarding the inclusion of Sodium Laureth Sulfate in our Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Face Cleanser. We understand your consideration of individual ingredients. At La Roche-Posay, every component in our formulations is carefully selected and rigorously tested to ensure optimal efficacy and tolerance, particularly for sensitive skin. Sodium Laureth Sulfate is an effective cleansing agent chosen for its ability to thoroughly purify oily and blemish-prone skin, removing excess sebum and impurities. Our formula is meticulously balanced to ensure it effectively cleanses while respecting the skin's delicate balance, providing a comfortable and non-stripping experience for its intended skin type.

submitted by Alice - 4 months ago
  • A: Hello Alice! While our Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is generally suitable for a wide range of ages, we recommend consulting with a dermatologist for personalized advice regarding skincare for a 12-year-old.

Q: It says it's sulfate free but the ingredients it says sodium Laureth sulfate in it I don't understand? Is this sulfate free ?

submitted by Mo - 8 months ago
  • A: Hello Mo! You're right to question that! While our Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is designed to be gentle, it does contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), which is a type of sulfate. It may have been previously advertised as sulfate-free, but our formulas and ingredient lists are constantly being updated. The most accurate information will always be on the product label or the official La Roche-Posay website. We apologize for any confusion this may cause. If you're looking for a truly sulfate-free cleanser, we recommend exploring other options within our La Roche-Posay portfolio or consulting with a dermatologist to find the best fit for your skin's needs.

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.
