La Roche Posay® Effaclar Duo Plus Reviews

Used in conjunction with their Effaclar cleanser (which broke me out) around Feb last year. Personally, I didn't find that this Duo Plus did anything special. I mainly used it around my nose and chin which is where I found I got the most breakouts and where my pores were enlarged. Used for around 5 months and found no difference.

This spot cream was good especially during breakouts. Is a staple in my routine now, I leave it on before bed and sleep with it and in the morning it works well

One of the best acne moisturisers out there! Isn’t irritations or drying and can notice results in as little as one night! I did not experience a purge with this product, although I’ve heard some did. I used all over the face in just a thin layer, starting with once a day then using twice a day when needed after a while. Lovely light formula, although I did find it could pill under makeup sometimes if not given a bit of time to fully set into the skin.

I used two tubes of this, and I love the applicator to ensure you only use a pea sized amount! It does take a while to make a difference, but it’s worth it.

It will eventually get rid of those small bumps if you have them on your forehead!

Was recommended by a dermatologist for my surprise burst of adult acne. Applied minimal amount to areas of concern - found that I had almost a reaction to the product and I came out in even more tiny white spotty bumps. I guess the major individual spots I had reduced in redness but the skin response was not ideal. I do have very sensitive skin so perhaps this was the cause of the response. I have continued to try the product time and time again with the same response. The quantity of product is great (had it worked for me) and the price is also affordable.

I tried this one out after suffering with acne as a young adult. I heard this was a dupe for Differin so I wanted to give it a go. It is a good product, but it's not a miracle product like some say. Expect a purge breakout with this one for sure. It's not really a moisturizer either, I find it was best applied just to the affected areas otherwise you may get some dry skin.

It's unfortunate it didn't work well for me however others really swear by it. It's definitely based on our skin types and our skin needs.

My little sister bought me a tube of this as she uses it and loves it. My skin is a mixed bag, a bit dry around my nose, blocked pores on my nose and hormonal spots on my chin and sometimes forehead. Because of this, I found the product too drying around my nose, so tended to use it on chin, the top of my nose and between my brows and forehead.

I am not sure how effective it has been at fading any red marks from acne, but it does seem to keep things a bit more under control. My nose seems less congested, and chin spots seem smaller. I will buy this again to see how continued use helps, but so far I would say good, but not great!
