I have sensitive skin so I'm nervous about most products. I read tons of reviews before trying this set. It sat in my cabinet for a few weeks until I got a blemish. I used the wash and serum (purchased separately from the same formula line). In two or three days my skin was blemish-free and it never got red and irritated or super dry. I don't use it every day, just when needed but I am so happy and relieved that I didn't have a reaction to it in any way!

I was interested in trying the acne treatment on its own but opted to try the whole system first. I have found the cleanser and treatment to be the most effective in clearing my skin. The toner is nice but does not seem necessary. I will definitely be repurchasing the cleanser and treatment!

I have been using differin for a couple of years and decided to switch to La Roche-Posay Acne System. I been struggling with adult acne and I’ve tried so many products before and it was not helping. I’ve tried clinique, paula’s choice, and the ordinary. Unfortunately these products did not work for me. I have been using this acne system for a few weeks and I can see it’s working. It help shrunk any pimples on my face and it did not dry up my face like the other products I tried. I think I finally found the skincare line that works for me. I can’t wait to try other products from La-Roche Losay!

My skin was going through a crisis. I had tried some other really expensive brands like tatcha and it wasn’t working. I decided to buy the trio to see if it would work on my skin and it changed my entire face. My face is clear, the complexion is brighter, my skin feels tighter, and it is 99% less oily. I would highly recommend this product.

This helped my acne so much. Significantly reduced breakouts. Cleared my hormonal/cystic acne within 1 WEEK of using, literally. Within a month, my skin was acne free. I still get pimples, but this helps so much. Best product by far outside of a prescription that has actually made a difference. Skin gets a little dry, but just use a good barrier restore cream & you’ll be ok. Use consistently for actual results. All 3 products are a must have & yes I would 1000% buy the bigger versions. Skin didn’t get overly sensitive & there is no smell. Duo cream has a slight “chlorine” smell? Goes away once it dries.
Great price! Try it.

I’ve only been using for a couple weeks but so far I love it! I’ve been hearing so much about these products online and this bundle kit is such a good deal! $30 for all of this is a steal so definitely get it. The cleanser is very cooling and lathers really nicely. I have sensitive skin but it was fine for me.

I am extremely happy with this kit! I have been struggling with MASKNE since covid (I still wear a mask at work and in overpopulated settings). It smells like Dr. Bronner's peppermint Castille soap, but that aside, it makes my skin feel much better. I'm only on week 2, and my only complaint so far would be learning how to Guage usage. If it's a 2 MONTH supply, I'm using WAAY too much, I'm out of toner already!! At 1st the acne all started to erupt, and my skin was pushing all the gunk. Now my inflammation has lessened considerably and I'm feeling better about my fave already. Only rated value as lower because it's easy to use too much in the beginning and spike w. Others who say they run out quickly
I LOVED IT, toner spillage issues tho

I have went through the whole kit, and i have seen improvement on this product compared to other skin care providers. I really recommend if you have skin concerns such as mine. I have dry skin in the winter, and combination in the summer, and am acne prone. it does take time for the skin to adjust but personally, this is the best stuff i have ever tried. I am giving this a 1 star review due to the toner opening in my makeup/ skin bag when traveling. I had lost half a bottle in one night due to the bottle opening on its own and i know I had closed it. I had another 1/4 of the bottle spill out again shortly after. I really would like to get this talked of since i had lost 75% of the product.
