La Roche-Posay Effaclar Cleansing Foaming Cleanser

This has been an amazing find for me. It’s super foamy — a little bit really goes a long way. I use about half the size of a dime to wash my entire face and neck, and with my beard, it lathers up incredibly fast. If you don’t have facial hair, just working it into your eyebrows creates a ton of foam. It’s very gentle, making it perfect to use alongside other actives like tretinoin. I usually reach for it in the morning or on nights when I’m skipping tret. It took me almost a year to finish a single bottle using it about 3-4 days a week, which makes the slightly higher price totally worth it. Plus, it’s FSA eligible thanks to the salicylic acid content — even though it doesn’t specify the exact percentage, it definitely helps minimize pores and keeps blackheads under control. It does a great job removing oil without stripping or drying out my skin. I’ve repurchased because it’s just that good!
