La Roche-Posay : Effaclar K

I'm 33, and struggled with acne untill I was 30. I love the Effaclar K products for my skin which is not only vulnerable for acne, but is getting a bit older too ;) For me it turned out it was food that was my worst enemy!! I got that tested at a acne clinic (paid by insurance!) , and stopped eating the things that the test told me to. It worked within weeks end within months my acne reduced to 25% of what it used to be! After a few sessions at the clinic and still watching my diet, and changing my makeup (only mineral make-up for me!!) and good skincare products, it has now reduced to <5%. I have some breakouts now and then, becouse I didn't take care of my skin properly (foods, make up, cleaning, etc) but it doesn't get as bad as it used to get

I have struggled with troublesome acne all over my forehead and now T-zone tfor 8 years, since having my children. I've tried lots of things with no results, and was ready to head to a dermatologist. This is the first thing that has made a noticeable difference. I tried out a combo sample pack of the Effeclar K and facewash about 3 weeks ago. Although I found it burned my skin (left it peeling and rough in places) my acne is significantly better! I haven't worn concealer in 2 1/2 weeks. I just bought a moisturizer from the line and an exfoliant that I hope will fix the rough areas. You should definitly try this product!! Go easy at first, and don't use any too close to your nostrils.

I reccomend this product, because it's clearing my skin up. It's the only thing that has worked for me. I wash my face with a cetaphil cleanser bar, and then apply effaclar k. The product is the best!

my cosmetic surgeon gave me some free samples of this product and at first i was hesitant to try it because EVERYTHING breaks me out. but i am so glad i did, i was pretty much waking up with a huge zit everyday but i seriously havnt had one since ive been using this. i am fretting about my samples running out but as soon as they do i will be RUNNING to go purchase some. even the bit ive peeling ive been experiencing hasnt been so bad because it is helping to fade the acne scars i have.

I got this transcribed by my former dermatologist, and I really didn't saw any progress. When I read so many good reviews than I only can think about (once again confirms the fact) t we are all different. The same product unfortunately doesn't help to everyone.

I used the Acne clearing system, cleanser, toner and moisturizer- a wk and a half in, I have no breakouts! all old pimples are healed. Blackheads reduced in size significantly to almost normal pores. I had bad scarring on cheeks- red 3inchs, bumpy and darker shades from more recent breakouts- cleared scarring! left with 2cm of slight redness- in 1 1/2 wks! ive seen other people had redness etc- but as I had severe acne I was already using a harsher product (dermalogica- which reduced my entire face of pimples to 5-7 consistently). this product had a great PH 5.5, left my skin feeling moisturized, while you can still notice the drying effect for acne- skin felt fresh, soft and amazing!

I was desperate for a product to clear my acne so I bought this and it was the worst mistake I've made in a while. Not only did my skin turn bright red, it also peeled like crazy. My skin would sting when I touched it. I couldn't even apply make up. This product also caused my skin to break out all over my face. My face is now covered with painful pimples and I can't even recognize myself. My skin is the absolute worst it has ever been. I never thought it would get this bad. Now I need to go to the doctor and get a prescribed acne medication to clear up my skin. Please don't buy this product!

I am a teenager with oily skin, so this line from La Roche-Posay is fantastic! It works so well! I have tried many many products from LRP, and ALL of them have worked for me! This cleared up the oil on my t-zone, unclogged my pores, and really really makes my skin look better after using it!!!!! i swear after putting it on for the first time, my skin looked clearer, less red, and i had less spots!!! LOVE THIS!!! I definetly recommend this!!!!

Get it if you can find it under 25 dollars. It works.

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.
