Firstly let me preface this review by saying, this is a really good product by a really good company it's just not the cleanser experience I've grown used to.
Ive used an oil cleanser for probably close to two years now and going back to a cream cleanser was a bit of a shock!
The cleanser is a nice creamy thickness and a little lathers up well on your face and smoothes off nicely,leaving skin squeaky clean. It's the squeaky clean that was the problem for me, it just felt a little too dry.
I think if you had slightly oilier skin this cleanser would be great whereas mine tends to be a little drier.
I had no reaction at all to the cleanser while using it so again perfect for sensitive skin!
The cleanser is a decent size and a little goes a surprisingly long way so have passed this forward now the trial is over to a workmate with oily skin who loves it and will definitely repurchase.
I have the oiliest t zone in the world. As soon as summer hits I have to wash my face in the middle of the day as I can literally feel the oil on my face; especially around my chin and nose crevices.
First off, the texture is super creamy and gentle on the skin. It feels like a little spa treatment every time I use it.
This cleanser seems to have found the perfect balance for my oily-combo skin. It doesn't leave my face feeling tight and stripped, like some other cleansers tend to do. Instead, it leaves me feeling clean and refreshed, which is exactly what I'm looking for.
One thing I really appreciate is that it doesn't seem to mess with my skin's natural microbiome. You know how some cleansers can make your face feel like a desert? Well, this one seems to keep things in check without going overboard. I've noticed my skin feeling clearer and healthier after consistent use.
Now, it's not some magical potion that erases all my skin issues overnight – let's be real here – but it's definitely been a welcome addition to my skincare routine. If you're on the hunt for a gentle cleanser that plays well with your skin's natural balance, give La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream a shot.
