I wish it wasn’t so expensive

I have adult acne, and it’s been a pain to treat. I have been on prescription retinol and it’s been a real struggle to balance the dryness from the retinol and the acne spots. I started off initially on the effaclar M treatment used it for a while and didn’t make a difference. When this initially launched, I saw that it targeted adult acne!!!!! I have finished 4 bottles now ! And I can honestly say that I use my retinol less days a week without having spots or PIH. I definitely think it works, but it does take a bit of time for skin to get used to. Also contains salicylic acid.. which is effective but I only use this once a day. I do have to say.. although my skin is a priority and I will carry on using this.. it doesn’t layer well with makeup. I am not sure why.

Disappointed

I got this to use in conjunction with a tretanoin cream I use at night. I’d seen this gel was an azailic acid and recommended to use in the morning following a tretanoin routine at night. I have tried to use it under my make up but it makes a complete mess and make up just rolls off your face and looks uneven. Maybe it’s better for a night routine but not for a girl who likes to wear make up.

Rashes and Itchy Skin- Not for me

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Used it once, the next day I developed rashes all over my face and was so itchy. I stopped using it. It’s so expensive, I regret buying it. I wish I returned it. I will go back to my effaclar duo +M.

Not the best

I am not a fan of this product. I do love the brand. I use their face wash and moisturizer. But this product in particular is not good on my face. It flakes off into little white pieces whenever I touch my face after applying, even hours later into the day. I’ve been using it for a month so I’ve given it a fair shot but not seeing much improvements either in terms of skin condition. It also doesn’t sit well under makeup due to the flacking. And it’s not cheap either so that’s what sucks as well :(

Thank you so much for your review on our Effaclar A.Z. Gel-Cream. We’re sorry to hear that you found the product was flaking. This can occur when skincare products are layered too soon and insufficient time has passed for the layers to absorb, too much product has been applied, or two or more products are incompatible, causing them to lift on themselves. To reduce the likelihood of flaking, may we suggest giving any serums a few minutes to absorb as well as applying a small amount of product, approximately the size of dosage and applying in a circular motion allowing product to fully absorb. We may also suggest pairing this product with our Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel Cleanser within your daily routine to maximize the efficacy of your product. We truly appreciate your feedback and will share it with our dedicated team for product formulation. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further concerns or questions.

Flakes off as soon as you touch your skin

This is an expensive product and it’s from a luxury brand. I bought it having read that it is easily absorbed into the skin. I beg to differ! It does not absorb into the skin at all in fact it sits in a thin layer on your skin regardless of how much or how little you use. Once it has been on the skin for a few minutes if you then touch your skin or brush your skin or put a jumper on or try and put any make-up on or anything else that involves your skin being touched in any way shape or form the product flights off prolifically looking like dried flakes of skin . It isn’t dried flakes of skin it’s the product.. how is it of any benefit if it just sits on your skin in a layer rather than being absorbed?

Bought this as a day cream as my skin is prone to acne, I usually wear cc cream on top of the day cream but this one is impossible to combine with.. the cc cream starts to look like lumps when used with this cream.. i suppose you can only wear this during night time when not combined with other products.. very disappointing

This is clearing my skin right up! The cream is gentle enough for everyday use. I really enjoy it and would recommend to anyone whos got acne or breaks out regularly.

Works great for blind pimples + hyperpigmentation!

I bought this a couple weeks ago and have been using it every other night before the Cicaplast Baume. I've been struggling with hormonal blind pimples and hyperpigmentation scarring and I've seen a reduction in my active breakouts, have far less new pimples popping up and the scarring is visibly reduced! Great combo which helps reduce the risk of damaging my skin barrier and doesn't flare up my sensitive skin

Pilling

It pills so much. Unusable during the day, my skin looked as if I was shedding. I resorted to using it at night, and it pills even when used as a first and only step on dry skin. Going back to effaclar duo + for daytime (been using this one for years without pilling)

Increased my breakouts

I’ve been using La Roche and CereVe for years but since using this my skin has been terrible. I’ve had a massive breakout the last few weeks that’s worse every day. It’s definitely not worth the price. I’ll switch back to CereVe (same company) for a fraction of the price. Really disappointed. My skin hasn’t been this bad in decades.

Was about to buy until I saw it has perfume/fragrance in it. Why??? That just irritates skin more and dries it out more. Totally making the product pointless. I’d expect more from this company to have a fragrance free version..

Pros - lightweight and hydrating. Leaves skin fresh and soft. Reduces lines and pores. Cons - can peel in the heat. The 40m tube lasts 2 weeks with the recommended 4 pumps per day, making it very expensive.

Absolutely the best skincare

Having acne prone skin even in my early fifties, it’s been difficult to find a lotion to do all the things I need it to do without worrying about an acne flare up. This stuff however is the real deal, it’s doing everything it promises and more and for the first time I am dealing with the best skin I have ever had. The texture of my skin is amazing, the marks have become less defined. It’s only been a few weeks and I am hooked. Will repurchase again and again. Thank you for finally making something for mature acne prone skin.

Pees/ rolls off

I recently bought this to try for my acne prone skins/ dark spots. With the added hylauronic acid I thought it would be good. The product peels off/rolls off my skin weird shortly after application. Have used 3 times with different steps in my skin care and does it every time. Not super happy that it peels off. Was hoping for good product as the rest of la Roche posay products I use.

Light, Effective, but Slightly Drying

Tried it—light, sinks in fast, matte finish. Helped calm breakouts and even tone within a week. Only watch-out: can feel drying if I don’t layer a bit of extra moisture. Overall, a solid pick for adult, breakout-prone skin.

Lightweight cream

I found it to be really lightweight, which is always a bonus to my combination skin. The formula is rich, meaning you only need a tiny amount of product to cover the whole face. It didn't sit well over a gel serum (from another brand) but that only meant I would use the cream over that serum in the evening. I noticed that it sped the development process of the newly forming pimples, but I don't think the cream itself was the reason for them. I wouldn't say it purged me. It helped to limit sebum production, so I will definitely try the full-sized product, so I can use it for longer and watch the full results.

Fast absorbing

It is fast absorption lotion. Don't feel heavy on skin. I think it will take to give any results. I fel some tingling sensation after applying it. I don't know it's good or bad but no reaction so far.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar A.Z. Gel Cream Review

La Roche-Posay Effaclar A.Z. Gel Cream has been a great addition to my skincare routine for targeting blemishes. The lightweight gel texture absorbs quickly without leaving my skin feeling heavy or oily. I noticed it helps calm redness and keeps breakouts under control with consistent use. It also layers well under sunscreen and makeup, which makes it easy to use daily. Overall, it’s a reliable option if you’re looking for an effective yet gentle anti-blemish cream

Great Results With This Product

I suffered really badly with acne when I was a teenager and I still come out in spots now from time to time. I used Effaclar for a week and noticed a massive difference in the radiance of my skin as well as reducing the redness around my forehead which is still prone to spots. Highly recommend this product because the results start to show within a few days if you use it twice a day.

Debatable

I am a big fan of La Roche-Posay; have been using it over a decade. This product I received as a sample and would need more than a week to fully review and discuss effects. However, what I can say now is: brilliant texture, only a whif of a scent and quick absorbing. However, I did get a breakout which never happens with Effaclar Duo. Hope this helps future buyers.

The hype is real

I swear this improved my skin in just one day! The texture is incredibly smooth and it layers beautifully under my Toleriane moisturiser. With my dry skin, I was initially worried that the powerful combination of azelaic acid and salicylic acid might be too harsh, but it's turned out to be the best addition to my skincare routine in ages.

What it says it does

I have always been sceptical regarding facial cremes saying that they do what they do. When I saw this advertised I thought let’s give it a go, and that it may end up in the never ending box with all the others. I have been using it for two weeks now and I have to say I’m surprised even after two weeks. Ive noticed my skin is brighter, my aged spots are a little lighter and it’s very light on the skin. I’m 68 years young and this is the first time in all of my years of buying creams for my face, that a product actually does what it says. Thank you 😌

Good but effaclar duo+m is better in my opinion.

I bought this product the first day of release and i must say its a pretty good product if you have residual acne marks due to the exfoliating acids present in the products. After a few days i was missing my effaclar duo formulation. This formula is not has mattifying and doesn't works well under makeup it tends to peel a little bit wich effaclar duo don't do. Also there's a huge price difference between the two and effaclar has already wonderful ingredients i don't get why its almost double the price for basically azaleic acid being the main difference. I would recommend it if you need to treat residual acne scars and unifying the skin texture.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Effaclar A.Z. Gel-Cream. We are sorry to hear that you experienced peeling when using this product. This can occur when skincare products are layered too soon and insufficient time has passed for the layers to absorb, too much product has been applied, or two or more products are incompatible, causing them to lift on themselves. To reduce the likelihood of peeling, may we suggest giving any serums a few minutes to absorb as well as applying a smaller amount of product during application. We hope these tips help you make the most of your purchase. We also noticed despite your positive remarks, you have given this product an overall 3 star rating. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if we can assist you in any way. We hope you keep trying our products in the future!

Blemish and marks diminishing cream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream glides on my skin easily. It is pumped out as a gel texture and with warming of fingers, easily absorbed into skin. The cream does not cause any stinging sensations even though it contains acids. I noticed that it’s helped with my fresh acne marks with a few applications, the marks are lighter in colour and redness is reduced. The formulation not only help to reduce blemishes but also contains hyaluronic acid to plump and fill fine lines in the skin which is perfect to tackle ageing. So far I have no complaints about this product. I use it morning and evening and even under makeup and had no problems

Hormonal breakouts banished

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this product as I really like other products from La Roche Posay. I expected it to help clear up the 2 spots I had, and maybe clear some of the blackheads I had; however it beat these expectations. Usually I have a hormonal breakout around my chin area during my period; however using the A.Z. Gel Cream I didn't even get one new spot. I like the feel of the gel cream, and it smells nice too. It's definitely a high end product, and looks great on the shelf. I didn't notice any reduction in fine lines; however my skin looked healthy, glowing and I did not have any breakouts. I'll definitely be purchasing this cream in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm thrilled to have discovered La Roche-Posay Effaclar A.Z. Gel Cream, it's absolutely fabulous. It's a light and delicate moisturiser, gentle on sensitive skin that is blemish-prone. It has a delicate and pleasant texture that easily gets absorbed into the skin, leaving a feeling of hydration and glow. The formula is specially designed to target breakouts, as well as ageing, and it works perfectly. It offers a 3 acid complex, with azelaic acid, salicylic acid and hyaluronic acid. These acids allow it to reduce the appearance of any spots or marks, hydrating the skin and keeping it radiant and healthy. Definitely a fantastic product!

Nice scent but not hydrating enough

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Effaclar A.Z. gel cream is an interesting, innovative product designed for mature skin prone to breakouts. I had never come across such a moisturiser before. It smells really nice, but it's not overpowering and disappears quickly. It spreads easily, but unfortunately, that's where the positives end. It didn't hydrate my blemish-prone adult skin well enough. Even my T-zone was left feeling dry, and I couldn't use it on my drier cheeks or at night. I want to try it again in the summer, but only on my T-zone. A week-long trial isn’t enough to determine if it reduced breakouts or had any effect on early wrinkles. Just because of the nice smell, I want to give it another try next summer and use it for several weeks to see the potential results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hoping for this cream to impress me but after a week of replacing my existing cream for this I was not impressed. The cream dried out my skin and I had to deal with peeling skin on my nose, cheeks and chin. The one pump dispensed amount was not enough to use all over my face so it was left feeling dehydrated. I saw no visible improvements after a week, in fact my forehead fine lines appear to be more prominent now.

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was quite impressed with la Roche posay gel, didn't have a strong smell, wasn't thick like some gels, and I noticed small improvements in my skin after a week of use twice a day. Only negative is that it's very tacky on the skin. Didn't sit well with makeup so definitely bare face to see the difference. Happy with the product and will continue to use it.

Light gel cream with quick results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gel cream was really light and absorbed into the skin really quickly. The amount per pump action was perfect. So often you are told to use 1 or 2 pumps and it simply isn't enough, but this was just right. The smell was lovely and fresh which is always a bonus. I was really surprised at how quickly my skin started looking better. I could see results immediately, but they normally wear out by the end of the day. After a few days there were long lasting improvements to my skin condition.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product, very light and consistency. I found this cream to be very soothing and absorbs quickly! It's lighter than the barrier repair cream and feels like it instantly nourishes the skin.

La Roche Posay AZ gel cream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am overall impressed with this gel cream. My skin is combination oily/dry in places. The cream is lovely and absorbs quickly into the skin. It is not greasy at all. I’ve noticed that since using this gel cream my skin isn’t oily through the day. My make up sits better on my skin. I have noticed less breakouts also.

Good product but not suited to my face

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed using this product, I found it to be thick and a quality product. However it did seem to make my skin itch and irritate me a little for some reason and so therefore not suited to my face.

Didn't do anything for my skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately the gel cream didn't do anything extra for my skin. I didn't see any improvements. My skin was left feeling dry.

A-Z gel cream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream feels very light on the skin but doesn’t really feel all that moisturising, more like a primer. The dry patches of my skin are slightly worse after using but oily skin has cleared of acne. Overall if you have all round oily skin with lots of breakouts this works wonders otherwise it’s not very moisturising. Bottle is stylish and really easy to dispense a good amount of product.

Hydrating

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this, it’s very hydrating while still being light on the skin. I’ve noticed a difference in my pore size and it’s helped with hormonal acne. The bottle is pretty and I like that you can see how much of product you have left.

A great find!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how quickly this face cream absorbs—it doesn’t feel too wet and dries almost instantly. A little goes a long way, and my skin feels nicely hydrated after use. I tend to get a lot of milia bumps under my eyes, and this actually helped to draw one out, which was a great bonus! Overall, it’s a lightweight, effective moisturiser that leaves my skin feeling refreshed.

Hydrating clearer skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's easy to apply twice a day and absorbs well into cleansed skin. My face feels hydrated, though I make sure to apply SPF on top daily. This product contains Azelaic acid, salicylic acid, and hyaluronic acid. It's great for breakouts, and I've noticed my fine lines are less noticeable. Overall, I'm really impressed with this product.

Nice cream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A nice light weight moisturiser that did not feel too heavy on the skin. A little goes a long way, it left a healthy glow and works well under make up
