La Roche-Posay : Effaclar K

I was honestly shocked to see negative reviews of this product...I first found it in a pharmacy while I was studying abroad in France ($32 is a total rip-off by the way, it's so cheap there), and it's been one of the only products that consistently helps my skin. I have combination/oily skin, and so I'm prone to blackheads and whiteheads and the occasional hormonal breakout, but I've found that this stuff does a great job of soaking up the excess oil and keeping my skin clear. If your skin is dry it would probably be too harsh, but if you're like me and you need a little less oil in your life, it's great!

at first i used this product all over my face as instructed but quickly chnaged to only applying this on my problem area (chin) due to its drying effect. It burnt the skin on my chin quite badly after 3 days of day and night-time use. The area is still red and quite scaly in particularly damaged places. Perhaps this was simply too strong a product for my skin as I had seen it get brilliant reviews before i pruchased it

so, I went to the shop with my mum to get some acne treatment when I became aware of my growing acne. I noticed this product and thought I'd give it a go cause it was expensive so it must work! NO. well, that night I put some on and it felt like rubbing velvet in to my skin! it felt so good and I didn't experience any stinging sensation or drying. I kept at it for a while and by the second week I had like 1cm flakes of skin coming off my face! it was sooo embarrassing!!! it also made my face really red after about three hours of application. it was really random and I was at school which was so humiliating! so, I lowered the amount I was putting on my face and my skin still remained burned and red and flakey. I stopped using it immediately! but it took me about three weeks for my skin to get back to normal:( DON'T USE IT ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE DRY SKIN

I really enjoy using the cream as a midday pick up. Has helped me make the jump from "teenager" skin in my 20s to an occasional break out.

effaclar k doesnt work for me

awesome product I'm already on my second tube! Each tube is about $26 cdn. for 30ml but because you only need a little bit for each application, one tube lasts a god month and a half...perhaps more.

This worked quite well for me when I was 18/19. But I think it works better for teenage acne than adult acne. Eventually it just stopped being effective. It also dried my skin out quite a bit, and when skin gets dry, it moisturizes itself by creating oil...which of course gives you acne. I was happy with this product for a while though. It didn't work wonders or anything but it did a good enough job.

I used this for one week and already i saw results. i wish that it had something to help the scarring but that's a different story. Overall it works for me and i have oily/combination skin and luckily it doesn't make skin oilier, maybe even a little dryer.

i just started this whole line and by far this is better than anything i have ever tried...i tryed pro active for about 5 yrs and it just stopped working. then i went to the derm office and they gave me clindamycin along with retin a what a disaster!!! it just did not work out!! then my cousin told ,e about this line and i gave it a try and right before my eyes it happened my face is almost fully clear. i brought the whole line the3 steps. kinda on the expensive side but def worth it!!!!

GO OUT AND BUY IT IF YOU HAVE MILD-MODERATE ACNE. I recommend buying these to complete everything: - Foaming Gel ($20) - Active Matt Moisturizer ($20) - Targeted Breatout Corrector ($20) if you buy those, you'll have a clearer face in just 4 weeks!! about $60.00 for all those products including tax.
