    Renée Rouleau Skin Care

    Hi Karunya! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your review. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with this cleanser. AHA/BHA Blemish Control Cleanser is recommended for skin types 1 & 3, our severe/consistent break-out skin types since it's our most powerful acne-fighting cleanser. However, as a skin type 2, your skin may enjoy the Rapid Response Detox Cleanser more. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin while still extremely pore-clearing!
    In the future, should you have any trouble with a product purchase, you're welcome to return the product to us in exchange for store credit to try another!

    Amazing

    I am 37 and have a 1 year old. Since I gave birth my face has been insanely broken out and full of cystic acne. Using this along with the cystic acne bump gel cleared up in my skin in DAYS!!!!! I am not even joking- I was shocked myself!

    Great cleanser!

    AHA/BHA cleansers are great for fighting acne (or at least great for my skin). I use this at night and use the Rapid Response Detox Cleanser in the morning. I still have some small, lingering, stubborn blemishes, but I’ve come to the conclusion that those likely cannot be addressed by anything topical. These two cleansers, along with the BHA serum + the anti-bump (as needed) + spot treatment (as needed) in the evening, keep my skin generally clear by my standards. I just traveled for the holidays and didn’t take my Renee Rouleau cleansers with me—my skin suffered as a result! When I got home, I was relieved to get back to these cleansers. This cleanser feels great and gentle when I use it (no stinging or burning) but is effective.
