Q: Can this be used in combination with other acne medications, like azelaic acid and tretinoin?

submitted by sillygoose - 1 month ago

  • A: Hello sillygoose. Great question! Yes, you can use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo (5.5% Benzoyl Peroxide) with azelaic acid and tretinoin, but it requires a very specific approach. Because all three are powerful "active" ingredients, using them together incorrectly can lead to discomfort or the disruption of the skin barrier. The most critical factor is how and when you apply them to avoid negative interactions. Because tretinoin and higher-strength azelaic acid are often prescription-strength medications, you should always follow the specific guidance provided by your dermatologist or prescribing Physician prior to use. We hope this information was helpful and that you can work this product into your routine with success!

    Great product

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this little pimple product. My skin is very sensitive and not breakout prone, but when I get one, this is what ive been reaching for! It takes redness down and significantly diminishes the size of my blemish.

    Goodbye Pimples

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took my time to leave a review to see how well this product worked on a couple of pimples that ironically popped out on my face. I was pleasantly surprised that with morning and evening application it appeared to dry them out rather quickly and make them way less noticeable; maybe lighter in color, but also less puffiness. I only had to use a small amount of product to see results. I gave it four stars because after a few weeks I can still see faint marks where the biggest one was. I’m going to keep using and see what happens!

    Works Great

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LA Roche-Posay Effaclar BPO Multi-Target Acne treatment helps to reduce the severity of four different types of acne, blackouts, whiteheads, acne blemishes, and acne pimples. It is a 5.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne treatment that has completly taken care of any acne I had and my daughters face is the clearest it has ever been and we had tried everything. I love this product is gentle, unscented and dermatologist tested. Since I am letting my teen use it. The texture is very lotion into almost a water the immediantly sinks in to where ever you apply it to yoir face. This product also did not dry my skin or my daughters skin out lile a lot of acne treatments tend to do. The packaging is nice and the small hole that the produxt dispenses from ensures that you the right amount and not too much product.

    Mediocre

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to give this enough time to actually work. Honestly I’m 50/50 on parts of my face it did absolutely amazing, and on other parts it didn’t do much. I did everything as noted on the bottle. Overall would I buy it again? Only if the price went down! It’s a bit too much for the small container you get. It doesn’t leave a sticky consistency which is always a fear with products as such. Just wish they were more affordable. Naturally we go for the cheaper version that works just as good.

    Hello LeaB! We really appreciate you taking the time to give Effaclar BPO Multi-Target Acne Treatment with 5.5% Benzoyl Peroxide a fair try. We’re glad to hear it worked well on some areas and that the texture felt comfortable without leaving a sticky finish, but we also understand the frustration when results are uneven and the size does not feel like the best value for the price. Thank you for sharing such honest feedback, and your comments will be passed along to our team.

    Easy to use and helps clear acne

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My teenage son has been using the Laroche Posey of Effaclar BPO acne treatment and he really likes it. It helps clear up breakouts. Still using it so that it finishes clearing up. He says it feels lightweight on his skin. It can be a little bit drying but overall it works great and is easy to use.

    Works great for acne

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow is all I can say. This stuff works amazing. It's great for acne , white heads , blackheads and it works fast. The packaging is small but you don't need much. It's a nice little cream you put on your spots needed. It's a nice constancy and isn't greasy. It doesn't stain your cliothes and it dries into the skin fast. I use it twice a day and it works overnight for me. I highly recommend it.

    Good for reducing acne.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works well if you’re consistent with it, especially for helping reduce acne. However, if you apply too much, it can dry out your skin quite a bit. It’s best to use a small amount and keep your skin moisturized.

    Really strong good product.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One would think that you wouldn’t have pimples after 40. Think again. I have mixture of oily dry skin. So it’s hard finding something that will work for both. This did a great job. Only reason I’m giving it a 4 star is it made my skin really dry the next day and I got a few black spots from being in the sun afterwards. It does a great job just careful the day after applying. Make sure you protect your face against the sun. Even with spf 50 it still gave me black spots.

    A cream with actual results!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is a powerhouse but does take the low and slow approach. Very lightweight cream with an elegant texture to it. It’s an oil free cream gel like substance. Absorbs into the skin quick and doesn’t leave a sticky or greasy residue. It penetrates pores deeply and kills deep bacteria’s. Very effective on lowering pimples and preventing new ones. You’ll notice much smoother and less congested skin for sure. If you have sensitive skin you may experience stinging or irritation upon application. Peeking and dryness are common for the first two weeks of us. Makes the skin feel tight and flaky if not followed with a good moisturizer. Overall I really did love this product and 10/10 recommend as I had amazing results.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaging is attractive and product is light and creamy. Unfortunately I didn’t notice any difference in the breakout area I tested on. Will probably try again on an area earlier on.

    Mind's not made up yet

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't feel like I've been able to test this long enough to know if it's effective. I've used it a few times and I *think* I noticed less redness and a bit of shrinking but it's hard to tell. So far it doesn't seem to be super drying or unpleasant to put on. I'll keep using to see if I noticed any other details.
