Fragrance: While personal preferences vary, I absolutely adore the scent in the Effaclar line. Honestly, I'll repurchase this product just for the fragrance alone! 2. Lather: For a low pH cleanser, it produces a surprisingly rich and dense foam! It's not as foamy as a bar soap, but it's quite impressive. 3. Ingredients: Perhaps because it's formulated for sensitive skin, the ingredient list is concise, which is reassuring. Some might be wary of the added fragrance, as the concern with fragrances often stems from the lack of transparency about their composition. However, considering this is made by La Roche-Posay, one of Europe's largest cosmetics companies, I believe it's been thoroughly tested and is safe to use.
ConsLike most low pH cleansing foams, it feels a bit slippery on the skin.
TipDon't buy this at Olive Young. You can purchase it for under 20,000 won from French cosmetics direct purchase sites like Beauty Plus or Parisb2b.

When used with a foam brush, it lathers well and gives a thorough cleansing sensation.
ConsThere's a slippery feeling after washing. Unlike typical foam cleansers, it doesn't leave that squeaky-clean feeling - takes some getting used to.

While I haven't seen any dramatic improvements, it's working fine for me overall.
ConsSince it's mildly acidic, it doesn't give that squeaky-clean feeling. The slippery texture makes me unsure if I've washed my face thoroughly.

ConsIt feels a bit slippery, but I think that's due to its medicinal properties. The fragrance is somewhat disappointing though

I heard it's good to use low pH products, so I'm on my third bottle. While there's no dramatic 'wow' improvement, one definite plus is that it seems to cause less irritation. I'm using other cleansing foams too, and this one feels different. The level of dryness is also different.
ConsIt doesn't lather well, so you need to use more product compared to others, and it leaves a slightly slippery feeling. These two things are apparently characteristics of low pH cleansers, so I'm not sure if I can really call them downsides. Also, I noticed another reviewer mentioned that when they apply toner after cleansing, it foams up on their face. I experience the same thing. It doesn't happen with other cleansers, but with this one, it happens no matter what toner I use. Even when I use an exfoliating toner like Etude's Soon Jung toner or Medicube's pore pads, it always foams up. It happens even when I cleanse thoroughly. It doesn't cause blemishes though, so I guess it's not bad, but I'm really curious and going crazy wondering why this happens!

After use, it leaves the skin feeling moisturized without any dryness.
ConsIt doesn't produce much foam, so those who shave using only cleanser without shaving gel will need to use a separate shaving gel. While the cleansing effectiveness isn't bad, there's a lingering slippery feeling after washing. For those who prefer a squeaky clean feel, I recommend Toleriane.
TipWhen applying sunscreen or when I want a thorough, refreshing cleanse, I use Toleriane. For morning or quick cleansing, I use Effaclar. I love that both are gentle on the skin.

My acne was getting worse, so when YouTuber Ria Yu suggested switching to a low pH cleanser and only using water in the morning, I decided to try the low pH cleanser I had at home. To my surprise, it really calmed my skin! Blemishes As I mentioned above, my blemishes improved significantly. Especially the small bumps - they were almost eradicated! I couldn't do much about the larger, cystic acne, but the reduction in small bumps shows it's effective for blemishes. Hydration I used to think tight skin after cleansing with foam cleansers or acne soaps was normal. But with this cleanser, there's no dryness at all. I've also learned that rubbing your face with a towel after cleansing isn't good for your skin. Now I just gently pat my face dry and use toner. My skin definitely feels healthier!
ConsPrice I think I bought it on sale at Olive Young, but looking at it now, it's a bit pricey... However, if you're struggling with acne and think your cleanser might be the problem, it's worth trying! Residue When using this cleanser, it feels a bit slippery. Even when rinsing with water, it still feels slick. If I'm in a hurry and don't rinse thoroughly before applying toner, it can foam up... At first, I was shocked and stopped using it, but I found that if you pat your face gently, the residue disappears. If you love that squeaky clean feeling after washing, definitely avoid this product.
TipI only use it in the evening. I just rinse with water in the morning and use this cleanser at night. While it might not have helped with cystic acne, it has definitely improved my skin's overall health and reduced small bumps.

Perfect for a light cleanse! It doesn't leave my skin feeling tight, and it's almost like it creates a hydrating barrier.
ConsAfter cleansing, there's a slightly slippery feeling. If you prefer a squeaky-clean sensation, this product might not be for you!

I've gone through more than 5 tubes now. When I decided to switch to a low pH cleanser, this was my first choice. Despite its gentle application, I found the cleansing effectiveness quite good for my needs. Best of all, as someone with dry skin, I love that it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight like other products do.
ConsSince I use it as a second cleanse, the cleansing power might be too weak for those who want to use it as their only cleanser. Also, depending on the person, it can leave a slippery after-feel that might make some feel like their skin isn't thoroughly cleansed.
