Keep Coming Back...

Ok so i've literals tried every major skincare line known to (wo)man over the last 10 years, since developing consistent acne in my early teens, and I just keep coming back to this product! I'm now on my third bottle, and any re-purchase is a big deal here! I use nightly after a good cleanse, and find it keeps all major spots under control!

Tips: Can be slightly drying, especially around the nose area, i just alternate a good natural moisturiser every other day.

La Roche Posay® Effaclar Duo Plus

My friend gave me some to but on try lips in the winter and loved it. Within 2 days my lips were back to normal and I bought some myself and currentlu use if for the dark spots on my skin and under my chin area and could see results within a couple of days. A little goes a long way though and even though I have tried it on my face as a moisturiser it does however tend to make my skin extremely oily but also I have very funny skin that goes oily fast, but for the dark spots I continue using it and the results are great

Tips: Use only a small amount.

A Good Product But Not Effective On My Skin

I had tried this after seeing all the great reviews. It's promises to significantly reduces severe imperfections and unclogs sebum-blocked pores and to help prevent red or dark marks caused by acne, caught my eye.

Now I don't suffer from acne, just the odd breakout when my skin is throwing a tantrum. But over the years I had developed some small imperfections, blocked pores and scarring, so I was keen to see if this would smooth out those imperfections.

The tube has a fine tip to control product flow and to apply the cream has a silicone like feel, but absorbs fairly well.

I seemed to go through the product quite quickly and found that my skin became slightly more prone to breakouts than before.

So didn't work for my skin, but am still happily using up as a moisturizer in my make up bag.

Good, but not a miracle product!

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!

Tips: Just skip applying this to any dry areas of your face, otherwise layer on a nice moisturizer after.

Good but

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.

Just didn’t work for me

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.

Tips: Be cautious if you have sensitive skin

Great gentle acne fighter

Super gentle on the skin and hydrating. Keeps acne in check and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. A winner and cheap too.

Tips: Use with the La Roche Posay B5 baume to heal the skin barrier

Love this product

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!

Tips: Don’t use too much for the first few weeks! Layer it on top of a moisturiser :)

Another win from La Roche-Posay!

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.
