Should oily or acne-prone skin use a foaming or a gel cleanser?
Reviewer consensus
Verified-purchase reviewers with oily and acne-prone skin tend to favor foaming gel formulas that remove excess oil without a tight, stripped feeling. Options like La Roche-Posay Effaclar and the CeraVe foaming cleanser draw consistently strong oily-skin feedback, while creamier hydrating formulas are more often recommended by reviewers with dry or sensitive skin.
