  This review is about the volume: 200 ml

  Excellent for less oily skin with a tendency for acne on the face and body, it does not dry out the skin as much as the blue effaclar and within a few days of use, it significantly improves the appearance of the skin

  I do not recommend it unless you consult a dermatologist. I had acne on my back and minimal on my chest, and when I washed with this on my chest, I broke out in acne for weeks.

  Guys, I will simply say that it cleared up the acne and the scars I had on my back for years!

  I recommended it to my brother who suddenly got acne, and it cleared up in a short time.

  I got it because it mentions that it is suitable for the body as well. After two weeks, my back cleared up from the pimples and the marks have largely disappeared! It dries me out a bit on the face, so a moisturizer is definitely needed.

  Excellent product! I have oily skin, which collected sebum resulting in occasional large pimples with pus. I don't have acne, but I used to get large pimples and it looked bad. I have been using it for 2 months and from the second week my face cleared completely, and I haven't had a pimple on my face again! I recommend it!

  First of all, skincare products, especially those for acne, have a different effect on each individual's skin, so I judge based on my own experience. I found the cleanser to be excellent, having previously tried other brands. Within 1 month and in combination with the Ultra Concentrated Serum from La Roche, it completely cleared my skin!

  There is this in turquoise color and the blue bottle. They have different active ingredients and are for different uses. If you simply want a reliable facial cleanser and makeup remover, go for the blue one. But if you have acne issues, you should definitely get the turquoise one with the stronger ingredients and salicylic acid, and you won't regret it (obviously, get the big bottle!). Get the serum as well and good luck

  I bought it because I have oily skin with acne breakouts, and I can say that in combination with the duo+ creams from the same company, I have achieved exactly what I wanted. If a pimple pops up once in a while, it doesn't even show in two days. However, it dries out the face a lot, so it definitely needs moisturizing afterwards. As for makeup removal, it is definitely not to be used on the eyes. Personally, I use micellar water to remove most of the makeup and then easily remove whatever is left. Also, the packaging is big and lasts a long time. You don't need a lot of quantity. I would buy it again.

  I have been using this specific facial soap for many years and I am completely satisfied. I use it morning and night to wash my face because the pollution fills my skin due to the machine I use and I also have a tendency for oiliness and acne. After use, it is recommended to use a good moisturizer. It is good and economical, there will always be a package in my bathroom.

  I have oily skin and this is the only cleanser that is effective enough for me. I ended up with this one because other cleansers don't have a strong action and don't clean deeply. I wouldn't even consider it if I had dry skin. There are other milder exfoliating cleansers that are designed for dry skin. It doesn't sting the eyes at all and if it gets in the eye, it's not the end of the world.

  P.S. It takes scrubbing to another level:))

  The only thing that cleans the face of the whole family deeply, effectively, and lasts for several hours, even if you sweat. We have oily to normal skin (not tested on dry skin). For the past 5 years, anything else we tried did not do the same job at all. Highly recommended!

  My children with acne used the product 3 times and it has caused both of them a bad eczema under their eyes and around the nose. We had to start treatment with a cortisone cream even though they don't have atopic skin - I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

  Well, it does what it says. I had acne because I was going through a stressful period and suddenly the oiliness and acne that appeared were very severe. This cleanser, along with a serum from The Ordinary with zinc and niacinamide, helped a lot and immediately. It dried out my face. It became smoother, cleaner, and the pimples and redness disappeared to a great extent. I would buy it again, but maybe it also needs a scrub and a face cream to get rid of everything, but I just wanted it to be clean and return on its own, and it did. In fact, I saw a huge difference within 3 days. But from the first day, my face felt refreshed. I didn't buy the expensive serum because I wanted to try the more affordable one first, which also had zinc, which is slightly antibacterial

  It is good as a cleanser and indeed does not irritate the skin or eyes. I have normal skin. Despite these positives, I do not feel that my skin is smooth and soft after washing, so I did not notice any micro-peeling effect. In other words, nothing impressive.

  Powerful product. It was recommended to me by the dermatologist for areas prone to acne and it is indeed effective. However, it requires caution when used in combination with treatment as it can be too strong for certain skin types and cause irritations.

  An excellent cleansing gel for those who want to get rid of oiliness once and for all. My face was oily and within a few hours of washing with other gels from different brands for oiliness, my face would shine (note: I was washing twice a day and still had a problem). This particular gel, with just one wash a day, managed to regulate the oiliness. In combination with the Effaclar Duo Plus cream, it does an amazing job. Avoid contact with the eyes as it is a strong gel and stings. Otherwise, I highly recommend it. CAUTION: ONLY SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH OILY SKIN, AS IT MAY DRY OUT THE SKIN IN OTHER CASES.

  This soap has helped me a lot in keeping my skin clean and pore-free. I use it only once a day, in the morning, and never for makeup removal, as it should not come near the eyes due to the salicylic acid. When I use it, I massage it well into acne-prone areas like the chin and forehead, and I have seen results. As others have mentioned, especially in winter, it can cause dryness, so it requires attention. I always follow it with a moisturizer

  The best soap by far for acne. Salicylic acid is an excellent exfoliating agent.

  I have been using it for 3-4 months now. I have quite oily skin, prone to acne and enlarged pores.

  It is ONLY for oily skin with imperfections and in need of light exfoliation. Not for normal or combination skin! It will work on oily areas but it will dry out areas with normal skin.

  It effectively removes oiliness, impurities, and leaves your skin feeling clean, as well as makeup. I use it on my face with a special facial cleansing brush and I have seen a huge difference.

  Moisturizing the skin is necessary after cleansing.
  I wouldn't change it for any other facial cleanser!!

  I used it for over 15 days to have an opinion. If you have normal skin, then it will work well, it deep cleans and is very good. After that, it is good to apply a cream (regeneration cream with vitamins b5, etc.) I have very sensitive and combination skin, I don't have irritations, etc. I am very satisfied

  Good evening, I have been using the product for 2 weeks.
  My face has started to dry out, especially around the lips and nose, which is not good at all. If it continues to have such results, I will stop using it. So far, I haven't been very satisfied. As a cleansing gel, it is very good, maybe just not for my skin!

  Excellent product, not for me though. I have sensitive skin and I think it is intended for "thicker" and oilier skin types.
  Regardless of skin type, it should be emphasized that the use of such products is "FORBIDDEN" in the eyes or surrounding area! It causes dryness and skin "breakage".
  Use the products only for their intended purpose.

  My sister has it and when I found it in the bathroom, I decided to try it. I have combination skin, and in the area of the chin, due to the mask, I have filled with pimples that won't go away. I used this product three times and my skin dried out completely, but the pimples disappeared. It leaves a slight burning sensation, but it's very good. I will buy it

  I bought it because my pharmacist told me it is more advanced than the classic blue one... disappointment was this gel... I didn't see any difference. I have only realized that it has made my skin more sensitive, so I turned to toleriane sensitive... I will insist on the classic blue effaclar, girls and boys, you will see a huge difference!!!

  First of all, I bought it as a body soap, not for the face. The micro-peeling claim is not true as there is nothing inside the soap and you don't feel anything at all. The smell is also quite unpleasant, like medicine. I have bought other La Roche products before, but this one disappointed me greatly. Since it smells bad and doesn't provide any peeling effect, I can't use it unless maybe I mix it with another soap to make its smell tolerable.

  For me, the best thing on the market when it comes to acne. I have been using it for months. You won't see miraculous results in one month, it takes time for your skin to get used to it. In combination with other products and a little patience, you will see a difference.
