Please keep this in mind:) ✔️ I started using this product after my dermatologist recommended the La Roche-Posay Effaclar line. However...I'm not sure about the good points.
Cons1. Insufficient cleansing power On days when I've used a mineral sunscreen or worn heavy makeup, I feel like the product doesn't clean thoroughly enough! I do makeup every day and have a multi-step cleansing routine, but I always feel like I need to wash my face 2-3 times more when using the Effaclar products. 2. Breakouts (based on my skin) Perhaps due to the lack of cleansing power, any existing acne seems to worsen after using this product. There must be an ingredient that doesn't agree with my skin. 3. Ingredients As I mentioned earlier, I trusted this product since it was recommended by my dermatologist, but the second ingredient is sodium lauryl sulfate and the third is a PEG (surfactant)...Just because a product is dermatologist-recommended doesn't mean the ingredients are all good! You have to check the ingredients carefully.
TipI stocked up on this when it was on sale at a pharmacy in Paris, but I guess I shouldn't have...😐

I didn't have any special skin troubles until I used it up, and it was fine to use with the Clarisonic and a mild, ordinary foam cleanser. But I was surprised when I checked the ingredients.
ConsIt seems to have weak cleansing power. It's okay when used with a vibrating cleanser, but when I just squeeze it into my hands and use it, I'm not sure if it's cleaning or not. If I only apply sunscreen, using this for cleansing alone makes me feel like the sunscreen isn't fully removed.^^ It also doesn't produce much foam. I personally don't care much about foam, so I used it well, but those who want more foam will need to use a bubble maker.
TipIt's unremarkable for use with the Clarisonic. When used for standalone cleansing, it may not remove everything, so you'll need to check with a cleansing tissue or the like.

Oil-based products really don't suit my skin type, so I use this cleansing water to remove my makeup first, and then gently cleanse my face with this product. It's non-irritating and gentle, which I really like. After cleansing, my skin feels much softer. Even the angry-looking acne seems to calm down after using this product for cleansing. I use this morning and evening, and I've gone through 3 bottles of the 400ml pump-top size so far.
ConsIt has a very slippery feeling. So even after washing, I still feel like there's a soapy residue that won't fully rinse off. Is that the case with all gel cleansers? Apart from that, I'm satisfied with everything else.

But I've been using this product for 3 years! - It's mildly acidic, so it's better for skin health too. With a pH of 5.5, there's little tightness after cleansing, and being a gel type, it's less irritating to the skin! Highly recommended for those with trouble-prone skin! - Buying online, there are large sizes available, so it lasts me a year, and the price is about half of offline stores, which is great!
ConsThe cleansing power is not particularly outstanding. I use a lip and eye makeup remover and cleansing oil to remove heavy makeup, and use this as the final step. It falls short in removing deep-seated impurities and makeup. So I always do pore care with oil. And sometimes, on days when my skin is struggling, extremely sensitive, using this can be a bit stinging. First-time users may find it a bit irritating. But for me, after about a week, it was fine, and now compared to the beginning, I hardly have any trouble.
Tip1. Purchasing online is much more affordable. 2. Get the large pump-type size instead of the tube - it's double the volume for only about a 3,000 won difference!

It feels light and doesn't burden the skin.
ConsIt wipes off quite lightly, so it doesn't remove everything completely. It seems better to use it in the morning.

I'll come back to use it again after trying everything I bought this time, but it's really good so far The blackheads aren't exactly disappearing, but they're getting lighter, and it doesn't take away the moisture, but it does take away the oiliness. Some say the ingredients are not good, but after reading the detailed ingredients, it doesn't seem to be a problem for me. (+1 month: It's good, but I think it's better to use another mild product once every few days. I think it will become a holy grail product♡ If you're using La Roche-Posay, there are probably a lot of sensitive people, so I'll come back to update it whenever I think of it.)
ConsThe price is a bit expensive... I'm not sure about the part where makeup doesn't come off well, since I don't usually wear much makeup, but using a makeup cleansing product first and then using a foam cleanser to remove the residue seems to be fine.

The lather doesn't build up much, but it cleanses gently and leaves my skin moisturized, which I think is even better.
ConsFor the purpose of makeup removal, I don't think it's that great. The cleansing power isn't that strong, so I wouldn't recommend it for makeup removal.
TipIf your skin feels irritated and sensitive after morning cleansing, try this! It's gentle and low-irritation, so it's great for morning face washing!
