Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • it's such a popular choice for good reason! between the foaming texture and the niacinamide it genuinely does lift oil really well without overdrying.
  • if you want a cleanser that genuinely clears all residual product without that cushiony hydrating afterfeel, the cerave foaming facial cleanser or la roche-posay effaclar purifying foaming gel are the two most recommended.
  • La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel
  • The product names in the current order are: - La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel / CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser (I recently used the purifying foaming cleanser)
  • For oil control I'd try CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser or maybe La Roche-Posay Effaclar. Both are way gentler than Neutrogena but still cut through oil pretty well, and the CeraVe one doesn't strip your face like some of the harsh stuff...

Cons

  • I’ve been using hydro cortizone on and off for a while just at night but my skins been basically the same, always getting breakouts the only time I don’t is when I go to my beach house where it’s tank water and for some reason it clears...
  • My skincare is just La Roche-Posay Effaclar and L’Oréal Triple Active Moisturizer.
  • Cleansers: La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel (body and face)
  • I used to use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel, but they changed the formula a while ago and added some actives to it. The reviews of the new formulation were pretty bad so I didn't try it since I know I react easily.

I’ve been using hydro cortizone on and off for a while just at night but my skins been basically the same, always getting breakouts the only time I don’t is when I go to my beach house where it’s tank water and for some reason it clears my skin up, I’ve been using cleansers like la rich possay effaclar and cera ve moisturiser but I don’t know what other product I would use to swap them out for
