La Roche-Posay : Effaclar Duo

I decided to review this today because I had a major breakout 4 days ago that I had picked at in frustration :( big bumps and bad redness that weren't even covered by foundation and concealor. I didn't even want anyone to see my face. Today the redness is all gone and my skin is flat. :) I still obviously have the purple/faded red marks to show for it but I'm so much happier. I love this product. In less than a week it has improved my confidence a lot.

This has worked wonders for my sensitive, combination skin with moderate acne. It doesn't dry out my skin and I live in northern Canada where it's very dry. The only product that has changed my face that clearly and that quickly.

Im a girl and im 16 years old (if that makes a difference) and ive had moderate acne since the 8th grade meaning i wake up with about 3-5 new zits every morning. not the little clogged pore kind but the bigger redder white head kind. yuck. that and i have quite a few (but not too bad) acne scars. Before i started using this stuff i had gone to the derm multiple times and theyve given me different types of antibiotics (which didnt help) and retin-A (which only dried out the acne and my skin along with it). finally i got fed up and ordered Proactiv. Proactiv was expensive and it only helped me a little bit but it wasnt strong enough and none of my close friends or family could notice any positive changes in my skins appearance. One day i noticed my older brother (19 years old with really bad acne on his cheeks whod also gone to the same derm as me which did nothing for him) had much much clearer skin than usual and i asked him what he was using and it was Effaclar Duo. Hes been using it for about 6 weeks now and his skin still has some pretty bad scars but most of his white heads are gone and some of his scars have faded. Ive used this stuff for about 3 weeks now and the first week i used it about once every other day because it made my skin dry and flaky at first but i gradually upped the applications to twice a day and my skin isnt dry anymore. from the first couple of days i noticed that instead of the regular size and amount of zits popping up on my face i was getting less and smaller pimples and as the weeks go by im getting less and less pimples coming up. I love this stuff! it really works! most products dont do what they say but Effaclar does exactly what it says and now i have hope that my skinll get better finally! I recommend!!!!

Get this product if you have acne! I found it at CVS... they had a coupon and i got extra bucks back! :)

I've been using the effaclar foaming facewash toner and then putting this on after morning and night. This stuff is the ONLY thing that has worked for me. ive been on retin-a, minocycline, acnetox, proactiv, acne free etc. Ive been using it for about a month now and my skin has cleared significantly. i used to have about 6 pimples at a time on my face with many scars but now i have no pimples left and my scars have even lightened. BUY IT! so worth it

I've been using this for 3 weeks and im seeing a diference on my red marks which some are scars(look like red holes), they are disapearing, i cant even believe it. I'll use it till my skin is totally smooth, i guess its possible, this product gave me hope, lots of it, RECOMENDED!
