Favorite La Roche-Posay Cleanser: Toleraine Purifying Foaming Cream Cleanser
Skin Type: Combination
My skin can be a little moody depending on the season, which is why I need a cleanser that can both hydrate my skin but still keep it matte and oily-free. This one has ceramides and niacinamide to help soothe the skin, plus prebiotics for balance, which makes it a perfect cleanser for combination skin. I find that this foaming formula really calms my redness, doesn’t leave my skin feeling overly stripped and does an excellent job minimizing my pores.

Favorite La Roche-Posay Cleanser: Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
Skin Type: Dry
As someone who has dry, sensitive skin, I have to be very careful with the products I put on my face. This gentle cleanser has never once irritated my reactive skin, but is still somehow effective enough to break down my makeup at the end of the day. It’s packed with ceramides, thermal water and niacinamides, all of which are soothing and help maintain a healthy moisture barrier.

Favorite La Roche-Posay Cleanser: Toleriane Purifying Foaming Face Wash for Oily Skin
Skin Type: Oily
Because I have oily skin, I look for gel cleansers that rid my complexion of excess oil without making my face feel stripped or tight. This one has a soft gel formula that lathers well and does a great job at cleansing without leading to dryness or discomfort. I also appreciate that it’s fragrance free and formulated with niacinamide to help increase the brightness of my skin.

Favorite La Roche-Posay Cleanser: Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser for Oily Skin
Skin Type: Oily
Because my skin tends to get oily throughout the day — especially under my makeup — I prefer to use a face wash targeted toward oily skin in the morning. The Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser for Oily Skin removes my excess oils without being too drying or harsh; I’m visibly less shiny throughout the day, yet my skin doesn’t feel tight.
