Pros:

Hepled get rid of my acne, it was what I was looking for FOREVER. I have tried EVERYTHING! but this, this was really different!! IT'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANYTHING. and you know it's gonna be good because it costs quite a bit. but i believe it'll work

Cons:

Expencive, quite a bit pricy.

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.

Pros:

soft skin. less breakouts

Cons:

expensive. i have to buy new tube every two weeks

guess it works well. i've been using it for few months now. i've been using better products to be honest, but since my dermatologist prescribed it to me, i have no choice but to use it.

Pros:

Good consistency and packaging.

Cons:

Caused severe allergic reaction (contact dermatitis rash) on my face. Did not diminish active breakouts (rather, it exacerbated them).

If you have sensitive skin, be cautious when using this. I found my skin to be EXTREMELY sensitive to the fragrance used in this medication.

Pros:

I like how it smells.
My skin feels like silk after I use this.
Spreads easily, doesn't leave any build- up at all.

Cons:

Makes my skin shiny after applying.
Didn't work as well as I expected.

It's a great product if you have mild acne. I trust La Roche-Posay as my mother uses their products and gets great results. I suppose if I had used this longer on a more strict regimen, it would have been more effective. But in my opinion, if I don't see a mild improvement quickly enough, I discontinue use. Effaclar K was OK, but I much prefer Vichy Normaderm Anti- Imperfection Hydrating Care.

Pros:

very light and smooth, easy to spread especially after putting on toner. because it is made with thermal water it gives this healthy glow! great to be used under make-up, especially with Toleriane make-up by La Roche Posay.

Cons:

if use is discontinued skin seems to bounce back to the acne

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.

Pros:

Lightweight, fast absorbing, controls oil (or seems to). Not smelly.

Cons:

A bit harsh on my skin after a while; not sure how it'd be for others.

well worth it, give it a go. my skin was too sensitive in the end.

Pros:

light weight, not greasy, feels fresh. Skin is less oily and more smooth. It really decreased my acne and prevented new zits from getting huge.

Cons:

Can't buy it in stores

This is by far the best product I have ever used, and I have used a lot! Pro-active, perscriptions, you name it I've tried it, and they all haven't worked for me. This product goes to work fast and starts to get rid of the acne that you have and is preventing new zits from forming. I still get the odd zit here and there but they are small and don't last long. It makes your skin feel fresh and clean and less oily. I wish everyone new about this product. I can't wait to try more of their products!!!

Pros:

Doesn't make your skin feel or look shiny and/or greasy at all! But still gets rid of most dryness. Makes your skin look healthier.

Cons:

Doesn't seem to do much to stop acne.
Dries very quickly which makes it a bit hard to spread it all over your face.

Good to use during the day. But I would not use is all the time cause it won't stop acne. I pay 12,28 euro for it.
