This product works so well for zits. My daughter used the pimple patches with not much luck. Two days of using this cream and my daughter’s face was so much clearer. Highly recommend.

Trabsformed my husbands skin
This cleared my husbands pimples, post red marks on his forehead. He used it religiously for a month and half and he has clear skin. He still uses it to prevent them. My man is forever thankful. He has combo, more to dry skin.

Formulated with salicylic acid, it helps unclog pores, reduce breakouts, and improve the appearance of acne-prone skin.
This treatment worked well on my breakouts without feeling too harsh on my skin. It has a lightweight texture, absorbs quickly, and helped reduce the size and redness of pimples in just a few days. I still make sure to moisturize because it can be a ce little drying, but overall it’s a product I keep reaching for when my skin flares up

Devastated
The original version of this product was the only thing that ever helped get rid of the nasty closed comedones. it was literal magic. i tried this one after my dermatologist said it claimed to be the same and it only made everything WORSE. i now have MORE closed comedones, their angry and inflamed now, and itchy. i desperately need the old formula back because this is horrible and it was the only thing that ever worked for me. wish i hadn’t even wasted my money.

It works!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little bit strong for my skin but I will only use it on acne spots. It does work on larger acnes and reduce the redness and swelling. I used to have lots of acnes, I wish I have found this earlier.

Ok product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took a while to show efficacy. It does clear out my acne but not all of them. It stings a little after application. It does not cause dryness nor redness but stings

I think it helped with my acne and texture on my face .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this complimentary from influenster and la roche posey in return for my honest review. I have combination skin and this seemed to work for me. The packaging was nice and the scent wasn't terrible. It absorbed well on my skin and wasn't oily at all . I definitely think it helped my acne and didn't bother my skin at all. I would definitely recommend it and I will probably purchase in the future.

Skin Saver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to try out and review. It’s been a staple in my skincare routine for quite some time now, and I can confidently say that it has been super helpful in reducing blemishes when user properly. I tend to use it on particularly painful or large spots and wear it overnight. With consistent use, I find the spots go away in less time and without scarring. I plan to continue to use this product and would repurchase!

Same minimal results can be achieved at a much low
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As with most salicylic acne treatments, you'll likely have to use this for several weeks before seeing any improvement. It might have helped reduce the occurrence of whiteheads and blackheads but it's hard to know since it can come and go in phases. It didn't do anything for deeper blemishes but I didn't expect it to. I liked the lightweight consistency and it layers well under moisturizer and makeup without pilling. Not a bad product, a slow and steady option. Might work better for others depending on skin type.

Hello! Thank you for sharing your experience with Effaclar Duo + M! You’ve hit on a key dermatological truth: consistency is essential with Salicylic Acid treatments. Because skin renewal takes time, the 'slow and steady' approach you've adopted is exactly what we recommend for long-term results. We are so glad to hear the formula integrates seamlessly into your makeup routine without pilling. We’d love to hear how your skin feels after another month of use!

This product is the only spot/acne treatment that actually works on my combination/oily skin. I also use the cetaphil daily cleanser and switch in between to the La Roshe Posay medicated salicylic cleanser.

It works to calm down redness and intensity.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for acne and pimples. I had a very intense acne bump appear under my nose. I applied the duo and the redness as well as the pain subsided. I had been 2 hours I notice the bump is drying out. I have used it today, I will apply tonight and continue until it is gone. I would recommend this product.

Helped reduce acne and breakouts fast, but left my
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+M Multi-Target Acne Treatment for a bit now, and I’m really impressed with how it feels on my skin overall. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. I noticed my acne starting to calm down within a few days, especially active breakouts that are usually hard to get rid of. Over time, it helped reduce redness and the number of new breakouts, and my skin felt smoother and more balanced. That said, it did leave my skin a little dry after consistent use, so I definitely recommend pairing it with a good moisturizer. Overall, it’s a great option for acne-prone skin if you want something effective but still gentle.

Big name isnt always better
Okay so I have some serious issues with La Roche Posay right now. I was using their original Effaclar acne spot treatment. That along with the cleanser, toner and moisturizer made it to where I had NO breakouts. My skin looked the best it had in literal YEARS. Then fast forward a year and a half and I ran out of my spot treatment only to find out that it was discontinued 🥺😭 I bought this product thinking it was the replacement for the old one. What I didn’t realize is that this product has a completely different ingredient!!! After using this for 2 weeks my face was super broken out. I’m talking cystic acne ALL over my face. After spending so much on this little tube of cream I so wanted to be wrong that this wouldn’t work. I finally broke down and bought the Up and Up brand of the 10% benzoyl peroxide acne cream. After one day, I repeat ONE day… the pimples I had were DRASTICALLY smaller. My skin was noticeably less oily and after 10 days now… my face is completely clear again. Long story short, the big brand isn’t always the best option. I still use all of the other La Roche Posay products in this line but this one… well let’s just say it really let me down.

Great moisturiser!
I love this triple correction moisturiser it makes my skin feel really moistened and hydrated without the heavy feeling and there is no feeling of residue left behind - it just feels clean, it's lightweight formula feels richer than expected and with this product you also only need a small amount which I think makes great value for your money I would defo recommend this product

Works for clearing acne
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works! Super fast acting too. It’s easy to use, very little scent and leaves no irritation. Myself and my daughters, ages 12 &15 all used it over the course of about two weeks.
