I have a similar experience to an earlier reviewer re: hormonal adult acne at 30. Before my hormonal acne, I previously had issues with dry skin, so I was a little worried about picking this product up and ruining my moisture barrier. Very pleased to report I haven’t experienced stripping, and while my hormonal issues are ongoing, this wash has significantly improved and helped control the acne. I started alternating between my gentle cleanser and this one every second day in the first couple of weeks and have worked my way up to nightly (and morning sometimes if I have a workout). I’ve only been on it for about 5 weeks now so I have a long way to go, but I’m sure there’ll be increased benefits over time in tandem with some prescriptions to tackle the underlying hormonal issues.

I bought this just a week ago and have been using it day and night. I’m 18 years old and have suffered from chin acne for a while now however, it was never as bad as it is now. I had lost all hope and decided to buy the entire effeclar routine. Whilst the deep cleanse causes purging in my skin, I can really feel it working and tough blemishes I have had are fading away. I can’t wait to see what my skin will look like after the purging cycle of 8 weeks is over. Thank you LRP and bdamajan !

My dermatologist recommended this wash twice daily in conjunction with the Effaclar duo plus moisturiser for my new onset adult hormonal acne (I’m 30). I can’t begin to explain how good this wash is. My skin is usually very oily and acne prone and it’s helped control the cystic acne around my mouth and chin dramatically in just 3 weeks! It’s not drying or stripping and my skin feels clean and refreshed after using it.

This is a must have!!!!! I am just wondering if this can be used every day or what is the recommended usage of this product? Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out to share your feedback, Olivia.
Our Effaclar Micro-Peeling Gel Cleanser can be used twice daily – am and pm – if tolerated. We suggest introducing the twice daily routine slowly 1-2 times a week at first to establish your skin’s tolerance.
We hope this helps.
Best wishes,
BD Amajan Shop

One of the nicest smelling products on the market for its purpose: not ‘perfumey’ and not clinical, and it has a gentle tingle.

I have serious acne-prone skin and someway somehow, this cleanser just has my acne under control. I’ve struggled looking for the right products for a while but this effaclar line is just so gooooood! I use this cleanser with the effaclar duo + and my skin has never felt smoother. It’s a bit strong though so I’d advise using it on alternating nights with your usual cleanser or even just thrice a week.

I have been using this for months now. Has really helped smoothing the texture of my skin and no more under skin bumps!! Any spots I do get disappear quickly. It’s a must need for those who have acne prone skin.

I love this face wash, it has been the only thing I have ever used that has helped with sebaceous filaments on my nose. I have tried so many products and blackhead treatments (before I knew what a sebaceous filament was I thought that’s what they were) to minimise them but with no luck..until I used this!

I bought this a week ago to add to my Effaclar skin care routine, it’s fresh tingly feeling, skin looks refreshed after washing.
Is it safe for every day use morning and night? I really suffer with oily blackhead/blemish prone skin and do not want to irritate it.
Jeni –
I have had sebaceous filaments (not blackheads, but similar) all over my nose as long as I can remember and no product, except for clay masks, have helped.
I have used lots of different types of face wash over the years with no real improvement so I was pleasantly surprised that this face wash has actually removed them! Miracle!
Only thing I would mention is it is a little drying around the eyes so would use a seperate eye makeup remover.
