Very pleased

I’ve been using La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+M for a few weeks now, and it’s quickly become one of my favourite skincare products for keeping breakouts under control without drying out my skin. The gel-cream texture feels lightweight, absorbs fast, and sits really well under makeup and sunscreen. What I noticed most was how much calmer and smoother my skin looked after consistent use. It helped reduce redness, small blemishes, and clogged pores while still keeping my skin hydrated throughout the day. Unlike some acne treatments that can feel harsh or stripping, this one feels gentle enough for everyday use, even on sensitive skin.

Instead of medical cream

Excellent product. I have very sensitive skin and rosacea. I used to use a medical cream with prescription. I have started to use the cream and the cleaner, even after few days I have noticed the difference. Now, I have been using it for a year and my skin is really improved, nobody would tell that I have rosacea, it is very rare that I have red spots and used to all my cheeks were covered by it.

Effaclar Duo + M cream

The Effaclar Duo (+M) cream has its pros and cons. What I didn’t like was the pilling, it can be frustrating when it doesn’t sit well with other products especially make up and sunscreen and, the smell wasn’t my favorite. However, I really loved how lightweight it feels on the skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel greasy at all, making it easy to use in both morning and night routines. Most importantly, it didn’t break me out, which makes it reliable for daily use. Price-wise, it sits in that mid-range skincare category, not cheap, but still accessible, and a little goes a long way.

Helpful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using the Effaclar routine when my skin was breaking out more than usual, and honestly it helped simplify everything. I like that it’s just a few steps and doesn’t feel overwhelming. My skin felt cleaner pretty quickly, and over time I noticed fewer breakouts and less oiliness. It’s not one of those routines that works overnight, but it feels like it’s actually improving your skin instead of just covering things up.

Easy solution for problem skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this to be a great solution for problem skin, it was highly effective on blemishes and hormonal spots or reactions. You only need a tiny bit and it works miracles calming down problem areas. I have hormonal menopausal skin which occasionally flares up and this dealt with it perfectly. It blends in well without irritation, did not feel harsh.

delicate texture without perfume

the texture is fluide and really easy to apply but I would expect an option with perfume as it is fragrance free ..

Burned my skin

I put this product on my skin during the night to treat my acne marks. During the morning of the next day my skin was burned and the marks were darker than before. The problem got worse and now I need to find another treatment to heal and get the normal tone of my sking back. I do not recommend it.

Left skin blistered

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this product on a couple parts of my skin. After a couple minutes my skin started to burn, eventually i took it off because i felt the pain was not normal. When i took it off i noticed my skin was bright red. It was burning really bad and my skin is not usually sensitive to products. The next day i had a look at where i had put the product on and my skin was blistered. Not happy at all.

Please change this product back

I have been is using this brand for over a year and it has done wonders for my skin. However since this product was changed in the past few months, my breakouts have been back big time. It's a blow to my confidence after a long time thinking I had it figured out. Please change it back and let me know when you do. I'd be happy to continue using the products but not if it stays this bad or changes all the time. Also doesn't feel as good on my skin.

Chemical burn in my skin and irritated after using

I used this product last Friday, and it totally burned my skin in the morning. I have a two burn mark on my cheek on both sides. I am very disappointed, and my skin still hurts. Now it looks like I have a crack mark on my face. The cream is said to suit sensitive skin and provide relief from pimple marks. However, I now have a completely different problem caused by your products, including the face wash, toner, and this cream.

I have bought theirs product many times and I have always loved it. I used this product last night and it completely burned my skin. I have a huge red spot on my cheek around a pimple where I was putting this spot treatment. I am so disappointed and my skin hurts. I will no longer be purchasing this product.

Not effective at all!

I used the old effaclar duo formula (Canada version) and it made my skin acne free for months. Once it was recalled I tried this product as it was supposed to be the replacement and my skin had never been worse. I broke out all over my face and it only stopped as soon as I discontinued using this product. Please please please bring back the old formula, I’ve heard nothing but bad things about the replacement and the old formula was such a staple for so many people!

Game Changer

I was recommended to try this by the dermatologist I’ve started to see along with three other products. I have eczema and mild TSW predominantly on my face neck breasts and arms. I’m always nervous to try anything new but this product is so light and doesn’t give that burning sensation when I put it on. I’t was originally recommended just for my face but after seeing such a big improvement after 6 weeks of use it now using it only any flare ups.

I absolutely love this cream! It has really helped me manage blemishes and my acne-prone skin. Since moving to the UK, I struggled to find a product that actually suited my skin, but this is the only one that works perfectly for me. It feels gentle, non-irritating, and effective. My skin looks clearer and healthier, and I finally feel confident sticking to this as part of my daily routine. Highly recommend it to anyone with sensitive or breakout-prone skin!

A Gamechanger

I am 67with oily skin and have always been troubled with spots. Recently my skin has been really bad with all sorts of bumps and spots appearing. I forgot that I had received a sample if this cream and decided to use it. I was a bit reluctant initially as my skin can be very sensitive at times. I truly cannot believe the difference this cream has made to my skin. Within the first couple of days I noticed a difference. I only use it at night after applying a face serum . and I rarely get a spot. This product, for me, is amazing. I only wish I started using it sooner. I have currently been using it for one month.

I have used this cream in warm season when my skin gets prone and I have acne. It helped a lot with the acne, clear it in a few days and the pores looks much better. I have used it only once at every 2 days because it my face gets too dry. But I very happy with the results and I will continue using it on warm season

Doesn’t work

This product does not do what it says. While it feels great on the skin it completely broke out my cheeks. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt and continued using it for over a month, however before using this cream I used to get a two or three spots on my cheeks then once I started using this cream I was getting 10+ spots. I stopped using it for a few days and my spots completely disappeared. Due to this I will no longer be using this face cream. I believe it’s best to use a light weight moisturiser even with spots as all the ingredients listed in blemish prone products just irritate the skin.

A must have

I received a sample of this and I am truly impressed. The texture is thick, yet lightweight. This works amazingly at reducing the oils on my face while keeping it moisturised at the same time. I noticed improved skin texture, and less blemishes. Overall this is my favourite moisturiser and I completely recommend.

Nothing impressive

The sample was extremely small - and to be fair it was difficult to actually assess whether there were any benefits to my skin. Given that skin is the largest organ of the body- it would have been better to have a larger sample.
