La Roche-Posay : Effaclar Duo

This is the best acne cream I've found. I've had moderate acne for at least 10 years, especially around my chin and after a few weeks I've noticed a dramatic decrease in new pimples, and it cleared up the current ones right away.

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

I've tried loads and loads of methods. Dan's regimen worked for me, but also destroyed my skin a bit, and made all my clothes bleached. It also didn't work 100%. Nevertheless, I've stuck with the regimen for about 7 years because it's been the only thing that more or less works. Just been using this (the UK version without BP) with a little bit of Dan's BP underneath and it's worked wonders. PLEASE DO TRY THIS! (I'm 1 33 year old male btw., without very bad acne, but bad enough to get white pustules relatively frequently if only on Dan's regimen). I'm so happy I've found this. In a month or so I'm going to try to stop BP entirely and see if this works on its own. Really praying it does. Will report back. Top product 5 star!!!

After trying many other products, this is the only thing that has helped. When I hit 21, I started breaking out horribly on my jaw, chin, and around my check bones. I kept with their acne treatment for a month and have had amazing results. I use it twice daily. It took a couple weeks for me to get a regimen down, but now that I do, it works wonders. I also use Curel for moisturizing after since this stuff does dry out your skin pretty fast without it.

I was in the middle of a bad break out and my twin brother was using this product on his own acne. I had wondered why his pimples would go away so fast and never leave hyper pigmentation or scars at all! When I switched regimens to the Effaclar duo I knew exactly why. After about a month of using it my scars had completely faded and I had little to no bumps. I must warn you that you should use a very small amount of spot treatment (a pea sized amount generally)and rub it gently into your skin completely. Only use it on the areas that are broken out or tend the break out. It also work well on blackheads. I also suggest using it in combination with the Neutrogena hydro-boost moisturizer as it is oil free and noncomedogenic. I use the full regimen twice a day and moisterize only at night. A good way to do it is give it ten minutes between the time you applied the regimen and when you apply the miustetize in order to let the product start working on your face. Also make sure you exfoliate 2-3 times a week. I use the Clinique mild seven day scrub exfoliant.

I was really shocked to see so many negative reviews of this product so I started to look at the ingredients and the UK version has no benzoyl peroxide in it. I think that is why there are so many mixed reviews either saying it is terrible or amazing. For me, it's amazing, I'm in the UK and use it every day and night with no issues and it has really helped my skin and acne!

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.
