La Roche Posay Effaclar

Really great for break outs and preventing them. Keeps you hydrated with out the oil. Show details

Poor experience – I was told that the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ M works very well for oily and acne prone skin, however, after applying on my face, my skin got seriously burnt and kept peeling. I found out that other customers have experienced the same problem as well. If this product is NOT suitable for sensitive skin, I would highly recommend stating this in the instruction. Show details

Very drying – Made my sons skin very red and dry would not recommend Show details

Burnt my skin!!! – I'm 46 years of age, never had any issues with my face. No acne, pimples nothing. I've always had clear skin and have always been told that I look like I'm in my 30s. Recently I started to get acne around my lower cheeks and chin area. I was recommended the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo for spot treatment and also the Cicaplast Baume B5. The lady at… Read more

the pharmacy swore by it. I also read the reviews and it was all good.

Two days later my face was all burnt and itchy. My face looked so bad, I didn't wanna leave the house. I looked 20 years older. I saw my GP and she recommended I stop the product immediately, gave me antibiotics and also gave me an urgent referral to see a dermatologist.

Both products had given my face a nasty reaction. I contacted the company and after providing them with all the information, they don't believe their product caused the damage. I just emailed them initially letting them know what had happened but they are the ones who said to respond to them with reports, receipts and photos. They don't care. Over 6 weeks now and my face is still so bad. Totally burnt and scrunched up.

I'm not saying these products don't work. Some people have given really good reviews. But just keep in mind that everyone is different and have different skin types. Just be very careful because I don't want anyone to go through what I'm going through.

Great cleanser – Received a sample from chemist where house when I purchased another product of the same brand. Have been hooked on the cleanser since then. I have normal/oily skin & it leaves my face soft. It is good value too as you only need a pea size to remove all traces of make up Show details

Solid cleanser – Yes this is a decent cleanser. It comes in a big tube too so more economical and environmentally friendly.

Can't live without! – I started using this product after my first child and it has literally changed my skin. It leaves my skin feeling so smooth, clear and moisturised without stripping it. I have tried so many products in my life time and this is by far my favourite. Show details

This product is AMAZING! – After years of trying different skin care options and routines I had almost given up. After being recommended by a few people to try La Roche-Posay I will never look back. I love the consistency and foaming agents of a gel and this cleanser was perfect. It left my skin feeling clean but not right or dry. I followed up with the hydra B5 serum and… Read more

a vitamin C for the day and the retinol for the night and the moisturised. My skin has never felt better. It instantly reduces redness and kept my skin beautifully hydrated all day and night. Will never use anything else... I am OBSESSED

Reliable and effective – After using these products - foam cleanser, retinol serum, all over body balm and a face moisturiser, I will never choose anything else. These products are consistently good and reliable. They are good for sensitive skin and just do what they say they’re going to do. I’m so glad I found them and I am looking forward to trying other products in the range.  Show details

la roche posay cicaplast baume b5 amazing – I had extremely dry skin around my mouth and couldn't get rid of it. This worked within 24 hours. I loved it so much I went out and bought their cleanser, BB cream and night cream. Show details

I don't recommend this product – After a patch test near my jawline, a stingy red rash appeared around my mouth and nostrils within 5 hours. The following morning, the rash reduced and I noticed minor scabs around my nostrils. Unfortunately La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat moisturiser isn't suited for my oily and sensitive skin. Show details

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Foaming Gel 200ml 200ml – I am reviewing the above item. I have been using it for 2 years now, the foaming gel has been great for me, it has cleared my acne, helps with my sensitive skin and really leaves my skin feeling clean. Its the best foaming gel I have used ever. I have tried other items in the range and all great. Show details

love this product – i love this range. it helped me get rid of my acne and small bumps. i use this product every day following up with clinique moisturiser and it works wonders for me. Show details

Seven days is all it took! A loyal customer for life now – So I'll just start by saying i never write reviews. I've tried every skin care product out there and recently began to use a one-step hemp and essential etc oil called Supple Skin Glow Oil that promised glowing clear skin. It did not work at all.My skin became rough and i experienced the most severe painful acne breakout accompanied with red spots… Read more

all over my entire face and jaw (where I also put the oil). Blackheads and closed comedones suddenly covered my face in the 100s and my texture was ruined. I cried when I saw my skin in the mirror each day. My confidence was shot. was desperate and decided on a whim to pick up the effeclar duo pack with the cleanser and effeclar duo. I'd read good reviews but had almost given up on hope after my terrible experience with a new product. I just realised today is only seven days after starting. My skin breakouts reduced by probably 85-90%. There are no pimples any more, everything healed very fast and my texture is flattening out and skin is starting to glow again. I finally feel like myself again. Even the red scars from one week ago are rapidly disappearing. This product is a miracle. It doesn't dry my skin out, I only use a oil cleanser, the foaming wash followed by the duo cream. Thank you so much La Roche Posay I will repurchase forever.

Terrible ! Creates tiny transparent pimples – I started using it to clear my summer acne because my skin is more oily and i have more breakouts. It made it worse, creating more pimples that are tiny and transparent on top of my bad ones. My friend has the same results with this product so it s not just me. Show details

Calming & Soothing – La Roche Posay creams are great for sensitive break out skin, they calm and soothe my skin for day 1, I especially love there cream and milk cleansers, no strong smells and certainly no reaction as some do even for a moment, I would highly recommend especially for people with sensitive skin Show details

Amazing!!! – I have very oily,sensitive , and acne prone skin, I have tried so many products and none really suits my skin. i went to chemist warehouse and decided to give the acne prone starter kit ago and it really works on my skin, the acne is gone, not too oily and now I can feel my skin really smooth. never thought i will found a product that suits my skin!! I am very happy with the products. Show details

Great for acne – I've been someone suffering from acne and have seen changes in my skin since using this 4 months ago. Great for acne prone skin but definitely a little bit of a drying formula. Intensive moisturizer recommended

La Roche Posay 50+ BB cream – I have fair and sensitive skin and have found La Roche Posay sunscreen-BB cream just fabulous for my skin. It leaves my skin clear and smooth with no obvious residue or caked look. It does not exaggerate any lines on my face either. It acts as a moisturiser, sunscreen and light foundation all in one. I also found their mascara is terrific too, it does not irritate my eyes. I will be buying more of their products.

La Roche Posay Effaclar – I had this product as trial only (you know that tiny tubes), It feels light and did not have any pimple breakout unlike other tinted moisturisers that I've tried. La roche posay is used in my workplace too and I see dramatic improvements with our clients. It's pricey but it's worth it.

La Roche Sexy Pulp Mascara – I was after a mascara that makes lashes look thicker naturally, and wanted dark brown for the same reason. This comes in both colours, but I’v only tried the dark brown. The wand brush is amazing. It is uniquely shaped to separate lashes, with a rounded end coat colour on with precision. It’s especially great on my super fine lashes. Produces… Read more

great curl, doesn’t smudge or flake, lasts all day and comes off easily with eye makeup remover. It’s not waterproof

Love This Product!! – I have been using this cleanser for a year and have repurchased it so many times. I have a very sensitive acne prone skin and this effaclar cleanser is the best for my skin. Not only it removes make up but also decreases tiny bumps around my forehead that I used to get every now and then. It’s a bit pricey than normal cleansers but definitely worth it!!

Cleanser and DUO+ gel – I didn't think that I would like this foaming gel after I read the ingredients list as there was absolutely nothing 'good' . But it calms all acne after long hours in the hot oily kitchen yet it is not drying at all. Skin feel like reborn and the crap pop right back down. Only halfway though. I have tried many facial cleansers and I am so… Read more

impressed with this one that I wont try any other anymore. Also effaclar duo + does work to reduce the pimple process to a minimum but i still had to start antibiotics and treament. But for cosmetical purpose I would consider duo+ gel over tea tree....

Great for oily, senstive skin – My sister has oily, sensitive and acne prone skin. Within a month it began to clear both the acne and the scars. She has been using it for a month now and with every time her skin becomes clearer and looks healthier

Decent cleanser – I have very sensitive skin. The Effaclar cleanser is great for sensitivity. You will only need a coin size amount and this cleanser will take all your makeup off. It is also frangrance free and non drying. French drug store products are famous for being some of the best in beauty, and this cleanser shows that. Would repurchase :)

Wow wow wow!!! – After years of trying all the skin care on the market, I was recommended by a Priceline skin care specialist to try this range. I went to Priceline to ask about my troubled skin, this year my skin has been playing up with pimples and I could not get rid of them, and my face looked like dot to dot it was horrible, and my pimples were pink/red. … Read more

I bought this skin care La Roche Posay Effaclar, it was in a starter pack, the gentle foam wash and the moisturiser for pimples. I was scared to try it as I hate using new products I have never heard of on my face.

I have been using it for 1 month now and its been fantastic, its really helped my pimples my face is nearly clear, and my dots have gone away, no longer can I see my pink dots. This is really refreshing for me as I am in my early 40's, I have had pimples on and off for a while.

I remember the first time I washed my face with this wash and I stood outside and I could feel the breeze on my face it was so clean.

I suffer from Rosacea on my cheeks and this items has helped that as well.

I have since bought the toner as well and I will buy their Moisturiser cream too.

I also bought the eye cream which I am loving as well.

I recommend these products. Love it !

Great product – I started using La Roche Posay products about three weeks ago and fell in love with the brand. The Effaclar foaming cleanser clears up imperfections quickly and effectively removes makeup. Personally, it has made my skin a little bit dry in areas with daily use, however it's nothing a good moisturiser can't fix. Overall, a great product! Removes makeup, pH balanced, soap free, gentle can dry skin out
