La Roche-Posay

Simply put, the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cleanser is one of the best basic facial washes on the market and beats a lot of the fancy high end stuff they sell at Sephora. I have repurchased this cleanser 4x and will probably continue to do so. I am a bit of a product junkie but when it comes to my skincare I like to keep things relatively simple yet effective. Once I started caring about my skin and actually paying attention to how it reacted to different products I began to go on the hunt for my perfect facial cleansers, moisturizers, toners, night creams etc. I've stopped using drugstore brands like Neutrogena, L'Oreal and Garnier because their newer products are gimmicky, overpriced and quite frankly suck. I used to think La Roche-Posay was some kind of clinical brand that was exclusive to European pharmacies but when they started carrying the line at my local Target I got super excited and was very keen to try their products. So far I have been impressed with nearly everything I have tried from them because they deliver consistently high quality formulas with no-fuss packaging at decent prices. This formula truly is purifying and leaves my skin very clean without the stripped sensation afterwards. It is also one of the few cleansers that seems to clear up existing pimples and keep breakouts at bay.

Side note: The La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Dark Spot Brightening Foaming Cream Facial Cleanser with LHA is also an amazing cleanser. Check out that one if you are looking for a cleanser that contains topical exfoliation ingredients.

I think this is a great SPOT treatment. I can't imagine using it all over my face, though.

If I feel a blemish coming on, I use this along with Persagel and it usually goes away. Not overnight, but it doesn't become a nightmare.

This combo DOES cause dryness. So, I would not use a lot. If you get scaliness. I'd slather on thick Aloe Vera gel and you should be good by morning. Things will peel away.

I've received this product as a gift, after I've complained about some pimples and blackheads after a hormonal treatment. The gift was actually a full pack of samples, which is equivalent to 15 ml. I've tried them out and I didn't get any bad reactions and later I've got the product itself.
My face is cleared right now, no blackheads at all. Ocasionally, some red pimples disturb me and when it gets worse I use it twice or thrice a week as a night treatment. It helps me control my sebum secretion too.
It has a light, milk-like texture, fully absorbs on the skin, but doesn't tighten or dry my skin out. I apply some anti-inflammatory cream after it, because acne is both bacterial caused and inflammation too.
I recommend it for anyone with some mild/ moderate acne, but get a sample first, it has a big probability it might not fit you.
It has an average price for a LRP product, I'm glad I got it as a gift.

I've brought it on a whimp - my local pharmacy, the main LRP distributor, had a big sale (50% off) so I decided to give it a go. I've heard so many good things about it from my friends, even my dermatologist recommended it for use.
I love the hydrating and calming effect. Wipe it off after it starts to dry out, it tends to dry out too much if left on the skin.
I'd like this spray to be with lil water drops - they're so huge, impossible to use it as a freshener during the day ((
It's really expensive, I guess a matching thermal water would do the same job, even better.

I've received it as a gift with another LRP samples and I gave it a go. I was warned I shouldn't shake intensively the tube, because the propulsory gas would finish before the water itself. And it's true - no water left in the bottle after the propulsor finished.
I didn't actually notice any big differencies. I've only used it when I needed a little boost of hydration. It helped me calm my depillation irritations and face itching, that's why I rated it as 4* If it wouldn't irritate my eyes, I would give it a 5*.
