Is this product tested on animals?

Hi! Thanks for the opportunity to clarify. La Roche-Posay no longer tests any of its products or any of its ingredients on animals anywhere in the world, nor does La Roche-Posay delegate this task to others. You can read more about our policy here: http://bit.ly/1Npr1Dz.

What has caused the price to jump? I brought this in Dec 2019 for $14 and now in Oct 2020, it’s $20!

There are two different kinds. This one has zinc and costs $20 and the one at target has niacinamide in ingredients but other than that both are pretty much same.

What is the ph level of this product?

The pH of this formula is 5.5, which is similar to the skin's physiological pH.

Does this cleanser have the same ingredients as the deep cleansing foaming cream cleanser? Is the only difference between the two is how they lather?

Hi Riss! We love that you want to learn more about our cleansers and we are happy to help! These two cleansers contain different formulations. Our Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser will lather, provide a gel texture, and contains zinc pidolate to effectively cleanse away dirt and oil while respecting skin's pH balance. Our Effaclar Deep Cleansing Cream Cleanser will provide and intense foam, contains a creamy texture, and cleanses skin thoroughly and visibly while minimizing the look of pores while removing excess oil. We hope this information helps!
