La Roche Posay is quite a popular brand around the world, after seeing a TikTok about this lady who used it and loved it I decided to try it out! Now you may be thinking La Roche Posay? That sounds expensive but it actually wasn’t, the brand is a popular French drugstore brand and it’s pretty cheap! The brand is aimed at people who have sensitive acne-prone skin, and it’s also recommended by dermatologists! Okay, now let’s get into the review!
I have been using this face wash for about a month now and have been loving the results! At first, I was scared was gonna start purging since I have sensitive combination skin and it did a bit at first but not as bad as I had expected! What I did at first since I was switching from the Cetaphil acne foaming cleanser was I mixed the two together and that worked great since I hardly got any purging! Now I am using it on its own and so far it’s been good, I have an oily forehead and acne there too, I was nervous I was gonna break out even more since my skin is sensitive but this cleanser helped with lessening the breakouts and calming them down! On google, it says it takes about 10 days to start seeing results and for me that is accurate. My forehead started calming down around 10 days after using the product.
The texture of the formula is soft and creamy, it doesn’t foam though. What is interesting about this face wash is that once I wash it off and my skin is dry my skin feels very plump and soft, I love the feeling it leaves on my skin! If you’re wondering if it has that tight dry feeling after you wash your face it doesn’t! There are no problems with the pump and a tone comes in the bottle which is a bonus! With previous face washes, I have used it would feel like that, and I disliked it. After I am done washing my face it feels clean and fresh! The lotion I use is the Cetaphil Oil Free lotion, I highly recommend it for anyone who has acne-prone skin!
When I am taking off makeup the cleanser melts it away but not all the way but it’s a pretty good makeup remover. I would advise if you are to use this to take off your makeup then afterward dry your face off with the clean towel or some cotton rounds, then my face is completely makeup-free! I use this face wash twice a day, once in the morning then again at night! I would rate it 10/10, the price is amazing for the amount of product you get and the cleanser works very well with my combination skin!
