I never write product reviews but had to make an exception for this product. I have always had bad cystic acne but it had gotten worse due to new medication. I had tried every thing and decided to give this a try. The first picture(the worst one) is from 2 weeks before use, the second picture is from a week of using and the third picture is from tonight after 6 weeks of use. This stuff WORKS! I use this morning and night with Clean & Clear moisturizer with salicylic acid and it has turned my skin around. When I got to about the 4 week mark I had begun to wonder if it was really working, but this is one of those face washes that brings everything to the surface and then clears it up. I 10/10 definitely recommend!
This is the first face wash in my life that actually worked to clear up my acne! The photo was the first night and then a month of daily use
I been using this product combine with the adapalene gel and this is the difference in two weeks. The first week my face was "peeling" around the nose but it's seems to stop.
Works great and quickly!! I use it at least every other day, usually every day. It'll any current acne goes away much faster and prevents new acne.
In just one week I see a huge difference.. some of my skin did dry around my mouth but I just make sure to not rub the wash in too much in that area and focus on the affected area instead and I make sure to keep my face mousterized to prevent over drying. I will definitely continue to use. Highly recommend 😊
FAQs
Is Effaclar Gel Cleanser available in India, and what's the price?
Yes — Dropy.in ships the sealed authentic US pack across India for ₹1,549, with Cash on Delivery available and free delivery on orders above ₹1,499. The price you see is final with no customs charges, and every order includes a packing-proof video of your exact unit.
What makes Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser different from a regular face wash?
It's a medicated acne wash: 2% salicylic acid (the OTC maximum) clears pores while lipo-hydroxy acid adds gentle micro-exfoliation — and it's clinically tested to cut excess surface oil by up to 47%, without stripping, thanks to glycerin in an oil-free, fragrance-free base.
Effaclar vs CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser — which should I pick?
Both use 2% salicylic acid. Effaclar adds LHA micro-exfoliation and stronger oil control — the pick for very oily skin. CeraVe's version adds ceramides and a lower price — the pick for drier or barrier-sensitive acne-prone skin. Dropy stocks both as authentic US packs.
Can I use it on body acne — back and chest?
Yes — the 2% salicylic formula works on bacne and chest breakouts in the shower: lather, leave for a minute so the acid can work, then rinse. It's a face-first formula, so a dedicated body wash may be more economical for large areas.
Is it suitable for teenagers with acne?
Yes — salicylic acid cleansers are a standard first step for teen acne, and this one is developed with dermatologists for exactly that. Start once daily, add the second wash if skin tolerates it, and pair with an oil-free moisturizer.
How do I check my La Roche-Posay is original in India?
Check for the batch code printed on the pack and full manufacturer details on the back label. Every Dropy.in order ships with a packing-proof video showing your exact sealed unit and its batch code on camera, sourced from authorized US distribution.
Can I use it twice daily in hot and humid Indian weather?
Yes — it's gentle enough for morning and evening use. Use lukewarm water (hot water triggers more oil), and don't wash more than twice a day; over-cleansing makes oily skin oilier.
Will my skin purge when I start it?
Salicylic acid can surface existing congestion in the first 2–4 weeks — that settles. If you get dryness or tightness, drop to once daily and always follow with a light moisturizer like Toleriane Double Repair.
What should my routine look like after this cleanser?
A coin-sized amount per wash, twice daily, typically stretches the tube to about 2–3 months — a little foam goes a long way with a gel formula.
How long does one tube last?
A coin-sized amount per wash, twice daily, typically stretches the tube to about 2–3 months — a little foam goes a long way with a gel formula.
