As a teenager I suffered from relatively bad acne but it went away before I hit my 20s, however, it came back as adult acne and nothing was helping until a pharmacist recommended La Roche Posay products to me, it was honestly life changing. My skin and my confidence are doing so much better.

Buying off Amazon saves me at least $10 per bottle.

Definitely recommend.

Leaves my skin feeling fresh. I have oily skin that is also textured in some areas. This cleanser leaves my face feeling super clean, but also leaves behind some necessary natural moisture. It doesn’t add oil to my skin. My face looks super even and my pores have greatly reduced. No pungent or strong smell.

Title: Illuminating Elegance with elf Halo Glow: Not Ideal for Oily Skin While the elf Halo Glow highlighting palette boasts captivating radiance and versatile application, it falls short for those with oily skin types. As an individual navigating the challenges of oily skin, I found that this otherwise remarkable palette presented some drawbacks worth noting. Despite its enchanting range of shades and seamless blending capabilities, the luminous finish of the elf Halo Glow palette tends to accentuate the natural shine of oily skin, rather than providing a desired glow. Throughout the day, I noticed that the shimmer particles intensified the appearance of oiliness, resulting in a less-than-desirable finish. Additionally, the longevity of the highlighter proved to be an issue for oily skin. Despite initial promises of staying power, the product struggled to maintain its luminosity in the presence of excess oil, often requiring frequent touch-ups to restore its radiance. While the packaging remains sleek and travel-friendly, and the shade range caters to various skin tones, these attributes may not outweigh the challenges faced by those with oily skin. In conclusion, while the elf Halo Glow highlighting palette may be a dream for some, it may not be the ideal choice for individuals with oily skin. For those seeking a luminous finish without exacerbating oiliness, alternative options may better suit their needs.

La Roche-Posay's face wash stands out as a refreshing and gentle option for daily skincare routines. Having incorporated it into my regimen, I've found several aspects of the product to be commendable.

Firstly, its gentle formulation is a standout feature. Suitable for sensitive skin, it cleanses effectively without causing irritation or dryness, making it a reliable choice for daily use. The absence of harsh ingredients ensures a soothing experience, particularly for those prone to sensitivity or redness.

Moreover, the face wash's effectiveness in removing impurities and excess oil is noteworthy. Despite its mild nature, it lathers well and effectively cleanses the skin without stripping away its natural moisture barrier. This leaves the skin feeling clean, refreshed, and balanced after each use.

Additionally, the inclusion of La Roche-Posay's signature Thermal Spring Water adds an extra layer of hydration and comfort to the cleansing experience. This unique ingredient helps to soothe and soften the skin, contributing to a refreshed and revitalized complexion.

The packaging is practical and user-friendly, with a convenient pump dispenser that ensures easy and mess-free application. The product's dermatologist-tested and fragrance-free formula further adds to its appeal, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including those with sensitivities or allergies.

However, while the face wash excels in cleansing and soothing the skin, it may not be the most effective option for removing heavy makeup or waterproof products. In such cases, a double cleanse or additional makeup remover may be necessary.

In summary, La Roche-Posay's face wash is a reliable and gentle cleanser that effectively cleanses the skin without compromising its delicate balance. Suitable for daily use, it offers a refreshing and soothing experience, making it a staple in any skincare routine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Facewash ever
Reviewed in Canada on 12 December 2023
Size Name: 400 ml (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I use most of the skincare products from La Roche-Posay. I never used the facewash from this brand. So I decided to give it a try. It has become my favorite facewash now. I started using it 4 months ago and I haven't looked back since then. It is really good for sensitive skin as it says on the bottle too. The bottle lasted me for about 3-4 months. So even though it is on the pricey side, you don't have to worry about purchasing it for another 3-4 months. I haven't had any issues with it since I started using it. The nozzle works really good too. It is so smooth to pump out the product. The bottle is clear blue so it is easy to know if you are running low and order another bottle in advance. My skin feels perfect after washing my face. It doesn't feel dry like it does with most of the facewashes. The consistency of this facewash is good too. It doesn't feel too thick but just the right consistency. I am in love with this brand now. I use Vitamin C serum, sunscreen and moisturizer from the same brand and now adding facewash has completed my skincare routine from the same brand.
