[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice product, it does minimize acne. It works on my sensitive skin and reduces skin redness. It helped with my acne scars and dark spots. I like to moisturize after and my skin looks really healthy. I would recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this product for about two weeks now and really liking the effects. I happened to be suffering from a bad breakout and have been applying this daily and did notice my skin has been healing quicker and without as much dryness as other products I have used in the past. After washing my face and applying toner and serums I apply this product which is like a lotion consistency to my effected area’s. It contains salicylic acid which helps heal acne. I don’t notice any fragrance so if it has one it has to be very light. Would definitely buy This in the future to help with acne and acne scars.
Love La-Roche

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always have been a fan of La Roche-Posay and this product definitely lives up to everything else they produce. It’s gentle yet effective actually does what it claims to do and such a large amount of product for what it is. The packaging is basic but perfect for application. Probably my favorite spot treatment I’ve tried this far. Smell isn’t super offensive either.
Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this for about two weeks and already see a difference. My breakouts are smaller and less red, and it doesn’t dry out my skin like some other acne treatments. The texture is light, absorbs fast, and works well under other products. It’s also helping fade some old acne marks. So far, really happy with it!
Truly Impressed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I saw that this product helped post-acne scars I was skeptical. I’m genuinely shocked at my before and after pictures!! I’ve had those scars from earlier this year and after a month of using it, the scars look less visible. I’ve attempted to use it as an acne medicine but didn’t see much of a difference at diminishing breakouts if they’ve already formed. Overall I’m impressed how much it’s diminished my acne scars!
Fast and effective!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely adding to my holy grail of products! I have been struggling with adult acne for the last 4 months. The type of acne I was getting were the large cyst like stubborn acne that took forever to go away. After using this product for 1 week I saw a huge reduction of the size and redness of acne. I seriously can’t say enough good things about this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been my favorite acne spot treatment. I used it on active breakouts and under the skin potential got spots. It's very drying, but that's how it works. Make sure you used sunscreen when using this treatment. I saw red spots calm down within a few hours and active breakouts lessened overnight.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this. I was having a breakout when I received it and I swear it saved me. It don’t dry me out too much but I did use it sparring because I do have sensitive skin. The texture is nice and it’s definitely worth purchasing. I am actually going to recommend it to a few of my friends who are always looking g for something like this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression on this product was very good. It seems to be a good salicylic acid treatment, and the texture and feel on the skin is a beautiful gel cream consistency that soaks in well and doesn’t feel tacky afterwards. It’s a little bit expensive for a repurchase, but if you try it and love it, it could be worth it. For me, it seemed to make my sensitive skin inflamed and irritated, but I remembered after those results that salicylic acid products don’t usually work very well for me because of how sensitive my skin is to it. If your skin likes that active ingredient, it would probably be a great product to try.

The new formula is not good for my acne prone skin. The old formula I used for the past year and my skin never looked better. I bought this product not realizing the formula was different until after I noticed the new smell and consistency of the product. Would not recommend if you break out easily
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 17 days ago
Hello Alysssa234! Thank you for sharing your candid feedback regarding the new formula of our Effaclar Multi-Target Acne Treatment with Salicylic Acid. We sincerely apologize that this updated version has not delivered the same positive results you experienced with the previous formulation, and we understand your disappointment. We are truly glad to hear how effective the prior formula was in helping your skin look its best over the past year. We always strive to continuously evolve and improve our products, often incorporating the latest dermatological research and ingredient advancements to enhance their benefits. While reformulations are carefully developed with the aim of optimizing results for a broader range of skin concerns, we recognize that changes can sometimes impact individual experiences, especially for those with very specific skin sensitivities or long-standing routines. For individuals with acne-prone skin that is easily reactive, we always recommend introducing any new product, even a reformulated one, gradually. Observing how your skin responds over a few days can help you assess its compatibility. We also encourage paying close attention to your skin's unique signals and identifying ingredients that consistently work well for you, as well as those that might trigger a reaction. Your insights are incredibly valuable to us as we continuously work to refine our offerings and support healthy, clear skin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. This product is like a knight in shining armor for my sudden acne breakouts. It’s works quick and effectively in reducing the size and the redness of my acne. It helps in fixing redness at other areas on my skin too. I’ve noticed that it does get a bit drying when used frequently as does everything else with salicylic acid but then using a mild moisturizer right after helps in that regard. The packaging is very nice and sleek too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I was a little disappointed on how small this product is. It seems like it should be the size of a spot treatment. This should be used all over the face. I wish the percentage of the salicylic acid the active ingredient was a little bit higher. it has a nice texture though. It’s not drying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t say enough good things about La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo (+M). I’ve struggled with stubborn breakouts and post-acne marks for years, and this is one of the only products that has actually made a noticeable difference. It reduces pimples almost overnight, helps fade red marks, and keeps new breakouts from forming. The best part? It doesn’t dry out my skin or cause irritation like other acne treatments. The formula feels light, absorbs quickly, and layers well under makeup or sunscreen. I’ve seen a real improvement in both texture and clarity after just a few weeks. If you're dealing with acne-prone or congested skin, this is 100% worth trying. Holy grail status for me!
This brand is awesome!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this products for a few weeks to make sure it actually worked and my blackheads have almost completely disappeared! Its a great alternative to other high end products out there and this does the job in much less time. I noticed a difference by the 4th time of consistently using the product. I will absolutely be incorporating this to my nighttime routine. The packaging holds a lot of product and makes it easy to use and has no scent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a nice product. What impressed me was that these types of things normally really dry out my skin and make it a bit flaky, and this never did that. The scent is quite chemically, but that is to be expected with this type of product. I used it for helping to heal hormonal acne on my chin. I do think it helped shorten the healing process.
