La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Brightening Face Cleanser

I've been using the La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Brightening Face Cleanser for a bit now, and it has both pros and cons. Initially, I did not notice a positive change in my skin's texture and tone, the exfoliating properties of the LHA formula just didn't work well for me. The fragrance-free formula was a plus for me, as I prefer products without strong scents. The foaming cream consistency felt luxurious and a little went a LONG way. Yet, it has that over-cleansing feeling, making my face feel tight. However, after a few weeks of consistent use, I started to notice that my skin felt increasingly dry and thin, almost as if my barrier was being dehydrated. I found that adding an extra hydrating serum and moisturizer helped combat the drying effect, but ultimately discontinued use because I felt it was doing too much damage.
