A little tube of magic!

This cream-gel loves my skin. I’ve been using it for the past 8 days and have been using it as directed, morning and night and after using the Effaclar foaming gel. It has the feel of a primer in that it helps the skin feel smooth and ready for applying make-up. Not sure if others felt it could be used as a primer, but I have definitely felt that it helps my make-up to glide on more effectively. In terms of its effectiveness in clearing up redness and imperfections, I’ve noticed a quite obvious improvement in the look and feel of my skin. I would say I noticed the redness decrease after using this in a matter of 24-48 hours, that’s how quick and effective it was for me! I also love the feel of this product on my skin, it feels great, like you are giving your skin the ultimate boost of nourishment and hydration. So the fact that this cream-gel seems to act as a kind of make-up base, pore unclogger AND the ultimate hydrater is just incredible and I personally love it. I’ve had visibly-clearer skin with less redness, and it feels fresher and more supple. It’s a little tube of magic and I’m giving it the full five kisses.

Great moisturiser for oily skin

This is a nice gentle moisturiser for oily skin. It claims not to cause breakouts and is also supposed to help with unclogging pores and preventing marks. I used this moisturiser following the effaclar foaming cleanser in the morning, before applying makeup. It comes in a slim tube contained in a box. The tube has a thin applicator which makes it easier to regulate the amount you squeeze out. The cream is a milky gel, which has a slightly chemical smell, and appears matte after application. I found it wasn’t enough as a base for makeup, which tended to go a little patchy on top, so a seperate primer is required if you want your makeup to last. I had one spot break out soon after I started using this, so I also applied a layer to the affected area in the evening which stopped the spot from coming to a head. The red mark from it still took several days to subside, so I didn’t feel that it had any particular advantage on skin marks. I will continue using this as I’ve found it’s a nice day moisturiser.

Tips: The instructions are to use all over your face, but spot applying to problem areas helps reduce them faster.

Blackheads be gone

Just when I was beginning to think I would forever have puberty skin, the magical Beauty Review Fairy sent me some La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Plus. I’m not really a dramatic person, except when I play Monopoly but I ask you to show me someone who isn’t? But this product has actually changed my face. I have been using this snazzy little tube of cream twice daily since it arrived and my blackheads have decreased in numbers. Something that I never thought was possible. I also have less spots and my skin feels smoother and softer. I would recommend this product to anyone who has troublesome skin and is looking for a skin-care miracle.

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.

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.

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.

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.
