This stuff works, I noticed improvement after 1 week. Only using it once a day, but the burn has gotten worse. It's a good product if you can take the burn, I will be cutting back to twice a week with this product hopefully it will help.

Really wanted this to work, but it doesn’t seem to help at all!
1 reply from La Roche-Posay Product Expert team - 30 days ago
Hello Mar! We understand your disappointment that the Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment hasn't met your expectations. Acne treatment can be a journey, and what works for one person might not be as effective for another. Several factors influence acne, and finding the right approach often requires some experimentation. While the Effaclar Duo is formulated with benzoyl peroxide to target acne, individual responses to treatments can vary. If you've been using the product consistently for a reasonable period and haven't seen any improvement, it might be time to explore other options. La Roche-Posay offers a range of acne treatments with different active ingredients and formulations. Alternatively, consulting a dermatologist is always a good step. They can assess your specific acne type and recommend a tailored treatment plan that might include other La Roche-Posay products or different approaches altogether. They can also help determine if any underlying skin conditions contribute to your acne. Finding the right acne solution is a process, and professional guidance can be invaluable.

I have used this product for years with excellent results until my most recent purchase. I ordered a new tube and immediately started using it as I normally do but it burned my skin which wasn't normal for me. I continued to use it thinking maybe it would subside but unfortunately it didn't and actually caused more breakouts and inflammation. I stopped using it for awhile and started again and same thing happened. I am still dealing with all the damage it caused on my skin. I don't understand what changed with this product but it is not the same. I can no longer recommend this and will have to find something else that works because this product has only made things worse which is so disappointing.

This product gave me a horrible chemical burn. Never felt anything like it with only one use. Had to have a doctor visit to get meds prescribed because of all the itching and swollen. Would DEFINITELY not recommend.

So at first I was using it wrong and it burned and peeled my skin but you have to make sure your skin is completely dry before use or it will burn ! After I started making sure my skin was dry burning no longer happened and as for peeling you have to start out only using it every few days so your skin can get used to it once your skin has gotten used to it you can apply it more! This happens bc it's increasing your skin turnover . Your face might break out worse at first because it's pushing all the old dirt to the surface so you can have clear skin. If you follow through and follow these steps you'll have amazing results ❤️

I think it work decent on my skin , I love the packaging and this brand. Scent smells like pimple treatment, texture is like a cream and I honestly don’t think this is worth your money there is better spot treatments but after trial and error this works on me .
This doesn’t work for me it’s just worst

I put it on twice a day and on day 6-8 I started getting irritated only on the area where I was appplying it to. I gave my skin a break for a day and put some ointment around the area and my skin was back to normal.

I like this product a lot. It’s perfect for spot treatment and significantly reduces both redness and acne. After just a few uses, I noticed a big difference in how quickly my breakouts healed. It’s definitely become a must-have in my skincare routine!

I felt like it really helped me when I used to use it. I felt like a little went a long way so I saved money in the long run. I still have my treatment and it’s been a few years since I last bought it. It has no smell and the texture isn’t too thick.

The results within a week and it had a nice texture. It is has no scent which is good if you have sensitive skin. The packaging was was normal not too big but if you want to get rid of your acne unless of a week go by immediately on your shopping cart that’s what I did when I went on TikTok and other platforms and when I saw people acne getting treated less than a week or a month.
