I like it, because it is a gentle cleansing gel. I use it in the morning and in the evening and haven't had any irritation. Also i use it to double cleanse to remove any makeup, which is working also quite well. Sadly it contains sulfates, but besides that it's a good product.

I have used this for years to wash my face twice a day. Effective in cleaning my face even when I'm wearing makeup without exacerbating my skin condition. I love that it has minimal ingredients, and to me, no overpowering smell. No acne breakouts and no rosacea flare ups. Sometimes however I feel it is a bit over-drying if I don't follow washing with some kind of moisturizer. This is probably due to the sulfates it contains. I believe it would work best for oily and acne prone skin. Also great for combination skin if you don't have any sensitivity. For my combination skin with rosacea, I'm still searching for something sulfate free. All in all very good product that could be improved upon.

It didn't do miracles for me. I used it 1,5 years and I felt my skin clean right after using it but after a few hours my face was again oily. Concerning the pimples , everything stayed as it was. No significant improvements.
I wouldn't buy it again.

I tried these product because i did stop taking ISOTRETINOIN (ACCUTANE) for 1 year (as my dermatologist prescribe). And i don't want to use ISTOTRETINOIN again, since i read many information about it. And i am using EFFACLAR ASTRINGENT one month already. And it reduce my oil, but not too much. I still have many pimples on my face. And the pimple moves everywhere. Sometimes when one is heal already and the other one is getting bigger. I will continue this product until few months to see the result. I'm using EFFACLAR DUO +, and EFFACLAR PURIFYING CLEANSING GEL. I am not sure about my pimples. Because sometimes it looks very bad, very big pimple with bacteria inside it (white thing inside the pimple). And i never have that pimple ever in my life. But i still thinking in possitive way, well maybe it part of the process. Some of my whiteheads now is getting better, and maybe because these product also open my pore.
