Rated 5 out of 5 by Jes2828 from Genuine review My skin has never been so clear. I have suffered my entire life with acne and cystic acne. I have tried most products on the market but nothing helped. I recently saw a dermatologist who wanted to put me on roaccutane. As a last resort I tried this product and my skin has been completely clear for the last two weeks since I using it. Definitely recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Newtytooty from Saved me! Been having random awful adult acne breakouts (never had spots before) - the last straw being a cluster of pustles on my head - one week into using this and the salicylic acid moisturiser that comes with it in the blemish fighting kit and and skin is back to normal! (Touch wood). The texture of my skin is a million times better and people have commented on how refreshed I look! Skin plumper and less congested - will def be rebuying

Rated 5 out of 5 by Emily96 from Amazing for acne! I brought the anti blemish kit a while ago and used all the cleanser, didn’t really rate it at the time. Used another cleanser, only used a tiny bit of it and decided to use my la Roche posay one again and absolutey love it now. Went and brought the bigger bottle today and don’t think i’d use another one for a long time! My skin feels so clean and soft after I’ve used it, it’s definitely helped my acne clear up a lot.

Rated 5 out of 5 by iikiibuu from Gentle but effective A product that's gentle and goes a long way to keep you face clean and clear. You will not feel any burning or drying effect after the use but it definitely removes most of the oil build up on the skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Charlie from Worked wonders after first use! A little goes a long way with this excellent product! I’ve been needing to switch up my skin care and I’ve had some body moisturisers from here before so thought I’d try their face care and I wasn’t disappointed! My skin felt so clean, light and fresh after the first wash. I haven’t had any oily breakouts and my skins looking really healthy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Claire from BrilliantFaceWash!! I have suffered with adult acne for a few years now & have quite sensitive skin. I have tried lots of different drug store products over the years, to try and clear up it up...with no success. After the first few washes, this product made a massive difference to my skin. I was a little drying but calmed down my very angry/red acne. I also use the Effaclar cream morning & night. Both these products have cleared my acne up tremendously. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cottonbud1 from So clean and fresh! This is an excellent purchase, good value and high quality. At first, I was worried that this gel would not clean my face sufficiently, but it was very effective. Only a small quantity was required to cover the whole face, making this excellent value for money.
