La Roche-Posay

This is the absolute best facial cleanser I've ever used. Lord knows I've gone through a ton. I have very sensitive, dry-to-very dry, acne prone skin. I also suffer with bad eczema. I see a dermatologist on a regular basis and none of the facial cleansers he's ever recommended to me, especially Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser super impressed me at all. I was just on a constant journey trying different cleansers and hoping that I would eventually come across my holy grail one, eventually. And, I can finally say, this is it. I am prescribed topical meds for my skin conditions which does include Retin A (tretinoin). Anyone that's on it definitely knows just how super harsh that stuff is to one's facial skin barrier. This cleanser is compatible with Retin A. I can also use it around my eye area without any major discomfort or major irritation at all. Now, I did originally buy this product from CVS. The large bottle retails for $14.99. I have already ordered more of this stuff from off of Lovelyskin.com, and will continue to purchase such from there, because they do offer discounts regularly on stuff, plus they offer the option to go on auto-delivery, which is a major plus. This cleanser has a silky, milky lotion texture to it. It glides across the skin so smoothly and it rinses away very easily as well. It leaves absolutely no film behind and it does make my skin even more drier than it already is at all. It's a truly well formulated cleanser that even though it is marketed towards normal to dry skin individuals, it can truly be used by any skintype if one wishes. There's absolutely no scent to this cleanser at all. Now, I don't use it for makeup removal. I use Garnier's Micellar Water (with pink top) to remove my makeup on the days that I do happen to wear makeup. This cleanser is just the best thing ever created, and I will continue to use it for the rest of my life. I don't plan to ever switch to regularly using anything else to cleanse my skin with. This is what I had been looking for, and I am truly beyond happy that I decided to give it a try. Hopefully more people will definitely choose to give it a try too!

LIFE SAVER! I upped my tretinoin dosage from 0.05% (that I'd been on for years) to 0.1%, and my skin went RED and everything I put on it stung like crazy. Read the reviews for this balm and kind of halfheartedly bought it at Walgreens in the hope that it might at least soothe the burning. First product I had no reaction to! No scent, very creamy, and I put on a thick layer covered with another face oil (carrot seed). Praise the Lord. It got rid of the dry flakes on the forehead and mouth area and around the nose in ONE APPLICATION. Fantastic and affordable. I can now go back to my regular dosage of tretinoin as I adjust!

Really wanted to love this product. The packaging is nice and the price point isn’t too bad. Unfortunately this left an awful white cast on my face. It also pilled horribly, no matter what other products I used with it. It didn’t cause me to break out at all. If this product didn’t pill I think I would definitely enjoy it!
