Really strong for oily/acne‑prone skin — just needs the right support
What I liked:The 2% salicylic acid, combined with LHA and glycerin, was clearly formulated for oily, acne‑prone skin. The brand says it “deeply cleanses, reduces surface oil by up to 47%,” and is “fragrance free, oil free, non‑comedogenic, suitable for sensitive skin.”ShopSavvy+4laroche-posay.us+4Influenster+4After a few weeks of use, I noticed fewer clogged pores, smoother texture, and somewhat less frequent breakouts (especially in the T‑zone and around my chin). From other users: “It’s terrific for acne‑prone skin, reduces oil and prevents breakouts.”Influenster+2Influenster+2The gel texture and foaming action are pleasant — it gives a “clean” feel without feeling like you’re scrubbing your skin raw. One user noted “the gel itself is quite runny… after rinsing my skin it feels incredibly soft and cleansed without any residue.”Influenster+1Good “trust factor”— it’s from a reputable brand, dermatologist‑tested, targeted for the exact skin issues I had. That helps.What could be better / things to keep in mind:Because it’s a stronger acne‑targeted cleanser, if your skin is normal to dry (rather than oily) you might feel some tightness or dryness. Several users reported dryness or flakiness, especially around sensitive zones.ShopSavvy+1Some users commented on the packaging/dispensing: the product is somewhat “runny” and the tube cap may leak if it stands cap‑down. For example on Amazon: “the bottle is constantly leaking… I will not buy this anymore.”AmazonWhile it helps with breakouts, it’s not a full cure for serious, cystic or hormonal acne all by itself. One review said “it may not be effective for severe acne.”bestsellerreviews.netBecause there’s active acid (salicylic) you’ll want to pair it with a good moisturizer and maybe limit use if your skin starts showing signs of barrier stress (redness, sensitivity).For budget‑conscious buyers: given the brand and performance, it’s a bit more expensive than basic cleansers.My verdict:If you have oily skin, frequent breakouts, clogged pores, maybe blackheads or excess shine, the Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser is a very good choice. I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars. I would buy it again — but I’d go into it knowing:Use a moisturizer afterward.Don’t expect miraculous overnight results, but consistency helps.If your skin is sensitive or already dry, maybe use it only once a day (or alternate nights) rather than twice immediately.

Holy grail!
My savior! I used this when I had severe clogged pores and closed commedones and it completely got rid of them in like 3 months without drying out my face! I included pics of how much skin looked before using this! Pretty big so u get ur bang for ur buck, Literally saved me in the summer before school had to start! Just make sure to use it 1-3 times a week and hydrate your skin after ! I personally used it at night 3x a week and used Hylaronic acid and niacinamide with a good moisturizer! For the days u don’t use it use a normal hydrating cleanser and follow the same steps ! No scent so that’s nice it’s a gel texture that feels nice on the face ! It’s quite strong so if ur a beginner start off 1-2 times a week instead and follow my tips!

Great Cleanser
This cleanser is my go to. It’s comes out thick clear and easily foams up with water. I like how little cleanser you need to double wash your face. It usually lasts me around 6 months for a single bottle. The quality and value for your money is 100% there.

Seems to be making a big difference in my teen’s acne
This product is amazing for my daughter’s acne. I am seeing a noticeable difference since changing her routine. We will continue to use this exclusively. Convenient for me to order from Amazon, as my local box store now has to lock these products up and it takes a bit to track someone down to unlock them.

Good product but bad packaging
The cleaner itself is good. Basically once you opened the seal it can never be fully sealed again. The cap does not stop the liquid from leaking. Can’t take it on trips because it will always spill over.

It is my first time that I use this very expensive product on my face. I had try everything but didn’t work on my acne prone skin. But after using this I see that my acne is reducing. The only thing is that after using it my skin gets little bit dry but follow up with good Moisturizer works well….. So thank you Amazon for providing such products to India….. And also thanks a lot to La Roche Posey…… ❤️
