Dries you out

Dries skin out, and didn’t seem to help my acne. I prefer less abrasive products.

Incomplete without it

This is a stellar product that i feel really reduces and helps clean my pores. I went on vacation and somehow left it at home (I was so upset when I realized this) and I could feel a difference in my skin without it - a bad difference. Very helpful for reducing the appearance of pores.

So far, so good for complexion issues

I love the B5 and Vitamin C serums by this brand and thought I'd try this one since I've had some issues with breakouts lately. This definitely has a bit of a clinical smell, but that evaporates quickly. It is good, and probably best, for complexions that do have more chronic breakouts. I would stick with the B5 or Vitamin C serums for more anti-aging skin benefits.

Great product!

I really like this product because of it's consistency--it is a clear liquid that, with a drop of water added, it goes on and immediately soaks into your skin. I think it adds to its effectiveness, but it also makes putting makeup on over it so much better than with heavier acne creams. I highly recommend to give it a try!

Clear skin finally!

I decided to bite the bullet and spend some real money on my skin. I ordered the Effaclar Serum from La Roche Posay. I am now on my second bottle. I am 62 years old and this is the FIRST time since I was 13 that I have had consistently clear skin. I LOVE this product. For the first few days my skin would feel very tight after I applied the serum, but my skin adjusted quickly. I would recommend this to anyone with breakouts. I have not had any breakouts since about a week after I started using it. I have been applying it once a day for about 6 weeks.

Not for my sensitive skin :(

This is probably a nice product for some people, but it burned my sensitive skin, and left me with a big red all over breakout. So I didn't even try to use it a second time. One positive I can say for sure, a little goes a long way so this bottle will last a while!

Amazing

I have been using La Roche-Posay Effaclar serum for almost 2 years and I love it. Serum is quick-absorbing and it doesn't feel greasy. It works very well for my oily skin. I highly recommend it!

Great for Acne prone skin.

This serum helped to clear up some stubborn acne. I used this as part of my morning routine before my moisturizer. I need to order more asap.

Excellent

It controls my acne a lot when the outbreak starts to appear after it has been a long time with the mask on.

Works good!

For the price, this is a good. It does help with breakouts, especially red and inflamed ones. However, blackheads I'm not so sure. I did try using this as an all over face treatment, but was a bit drying for me, so I'm just going to use as a spot treatment.

Just ok

I've been using this for almost 2 months. I have combination skin. This serum stings my face a little, but not drying to the skin. It tightens pores, but it didn't help much with smoothing fine lines. It gently exfoliates and keeps my skin clear from minor acne and blemishes. I use this under my moisturizer. I'm not sure if I'll repurchase since I haven't noticed a whole lot of difference.

Lightweight but mighty!

This is a great serum to use at night for large pores; however, I had to take one star off due to the thin texture and slower results due to sun sensitivity.

Good serum

I like this serum as it is gentle on my skin. I think it is too soon to see if it delivers what promised. So far so good though. I have sensitive reactive combo skin and do not need a moisturizer in the summer months other than sunscreen when in the sun. I will use a gentle moisturizer in the winter if I’m still using it as it lightly moisturizes. This is perfect if you have combo or oily skin. It’s just enough. If you have very dry skin, I would add a moisturizer.

Love it!

I’ve been using this product for many years, and I wouldn’t be without it! I have somewhat oily skin, and this product makes my skin tone even and helps keep my pores clean. It’s also great for anti-aging, and I know it’s helped keep my skin more youthful looking. I would highly recommend it!
