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

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.

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!

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!

Best face wash ever for acne prone skin!
I bought this a few weeks ago as my prescription topical cream I’d been using for the past couple ornaments years just became ineffective and my pimples kept coming back. I’ve suffered with acne for ten years and tried the whole lot - roaccutane, benzoyl peroxide and everything else in between. I bought this face wash alongside the effeclar duo cream and cannot believe this has totally cleared my skin when using together. Its slightly drying but it keeps oil at bay ALL day and removes my makeup well. My teen son uses this also and it’s made a real difference to him aswell. Definitely worth a try if you have adult acne.

Excellent
Excellent face wash. I have extremely sensitive skin which has just finished a Roaccutane treatment and this cleanser has not had any negative impact on my skin. It leaves my skin feeling very clean and im sure it is helping in reducing the redness! May seem expensive but a little goes a long way so lasts for ages. Would highly recommend.
