Redness and flakiness improved within a week of switching.

“I switched to LRP Purifying Foaming Cleanser and I saw improvements in redness and flakiness in about a week or so.”
positive

Used every other day it doesn't dry them out and helps keep hormonal acne at bay.

“Their foaming wash *does* have niacinamide in it, but I found if I do it every other day, my face doesn't dry out.”
positive

On normal-to-oily combination skin it left their face extremely dry and stripped, and after testing many moisturizers they pinned their skin issues on it.

“Whenever I use it my face feels extremely dry and stripped”

Their daily cleanser for a decade, though it's become hard to find and may have been reformulated.

“I have been using this La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cream Cleanser for a literal decade”
positive

Too drying for their oily skin, and they dislike its scent, so they prefer CeraVe's foaming cleanser.

“I personally prefer cerave because the la roche posay has fragrance and its too drying for my oily skin.”

Older than 36 months. These may describe an earlier version.

Their skin turned red and warm immediately.

“I’ve also tried LRP purifying foaming cleanser and my skin immediately turned red and warm”

Loves it, rotating with the hydrating cleanser on oily skin.

“I use both LRP hydrating cleanser and the LRP Toleriane purifying foaming facial cleanser. I rotate between both, depending what my skin needs and with consideration of the seasons. I love them both”
positive

Holy grail: cleans without stripping and is moisturizing enough even in a dry winter on combination skin.

“La Roche Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Face Wash is my HG. Cleans without stripping, good for combo skin, moisturizing enough even in the dead of winter”

It broke them out, one of their worst LRP products.

“Worst: Toleriane Purifying Foaming Face Cleanser(broke me out)”
negativebroke me out

After switching from CeraVe's foaming cleanser their skin feels less tight; still a great cleanser.

“I literally just switched to the LRP purifying foaming cleanser. Not to say that the CeraVe Foaming was stripping, but my skin after using LRP didn’t feel as tight.”
positivegentle

With dehydrated, acne-prone, sulfate-sensitive skin that CeraVe broke out, it's the only face wash that works for them.

“Toleriane seems to be the only face wash that works for me”
