Review La Roche Posay Duo+M
I purchased La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Plus after reading a blog review. I suffer from consistent breakouts of cystic acne and with sensitive skin needed a gentle solution. It has a very light consistency gel-cream texture and a subtle scent. It quickly absorbs into the skin without feeling sticky or oily. It is easy to apply.
You can use for the entire face morning and evening, after cleansing and even provides a great base for make-up. Or as I prefer only to use the Effaclar Duo on areas where I have problems, directly on clean skin. It does not eliminate acne, but it prevents acne from forming.
It has definitely helped in clearing out and improving my skin texture. New breakouts have also reduced as well as blemishes from previous marks. While it took approximately 2-3 weeks of use for a noticeable difference an improvement does happen! This is now one of my holy grail acne treatments.
Pros -
• Affordable
• Reduces redness.
• Works great as a spot treatment.
• Does not turn skin oily.
Cons -
• Can sting at first
• No SPF.
• Not a suitable as a standalone moisturizer I would recommend this product to anyone who is trying to fight spots, acne or clogged skin. It is also fantastic for improving scars or as a spot treatment for breakouts.
