I love it

I used this product for several years. It's the best for my oily skin. First I used twice a day, now I use only evening. It's perfect under makeup.

worked well

I have acne prone skin and I wanted to try this after seeing great reviews. Whenever I saw a pimple forming I put this on and it definitely stopped the breakout. It doesn't prevent breakouts though, because my acne keeps coming back. But this product is great for treating pimples.

Good product ...

This is a good product but as with any blemish control product, it takes time to work. Don't expect an overnight miracle but with consistent use, this product will reduce the occurrence of breakouts. I use this as part of my beauty routine and only in the t-zone. It also helps keep the pores clean but again, with continued, regular use - not an overnight miracle.

Great product (and switch from Effaclar K)!

I switched to Effaclar Duo after Effaclar K was discontinued (I was panicking). I was a bit afraid to go back to Benzoyl Peroxide because of experiences with dryness, bleaching. Of clothing, etc... However, I have not had that problem with Effaclar Duo, it works great! Would definitely recommend!

Ok

I bought this product because of the inexpensive price (I'm used to paying $80 for Obagi). But this didn't work for me. The texture was nice, it left a matte finish, and it did treat breakouts once they happened, but this didn't PREVENT the breakouts from occurring, like a good acne lotion should do. Perhaps my skin didn't like the LHA they put in it because this product made my skin red and it kind of messed with my skin texture. I do better with my glycolic + benzoyl peroxide. I did not like this and I will stick with Obagi!

So happy

Started to use this about three months ago along with the medicated gel and clarifying solution. I had problems with small bumps all over face. Every since using this product it has cleared up and I have not had any other breakouts. So Happy!!! A must try!!

Pretty impressive

Ive struggled with acne for years. Ive tried everything from drugstore to prescription products, so I have a wide range of things to compare this to. It has no scent, and a very pleasant texture. It layers invisibly underneath makeup, so I can wear this during the day. Sometimes, Ill even mix it in with concealer so I can cover and treat my pimples at the same time. At night, Ill usually dab this or another acne product on my skin before bed. Using this 1-2 times a day for less than a week brought two deeper spots on my forehead to the surface of my skin. Not exactly pleasant, but it just goes to show how potent this stuff is. I prefer benzyl peroxide to salicylic acid, and this contains an impressive 5.5%. That being said, it dries the heck out of my skin. Id definitely recommend it as a spot treatment, as opposed to an all-over acne fighter. For the price, Id recommend it. It seems to compare to my prescription acne benzyl peroxide products. Id pair this with a good, fragrance-free cleanser and a light moisturizer. I only wish it were an all-over treatment with some moisturizing properties. That would make my morning routine a little quicker!I dont know if Ill repurchase it, but Ill definitely be reaching for it when I need to kill a nasty pimple.

Amazing!

This stuff is amazing! If I feel a pimple coming on, Ill apply this and leave it on over night. It will dry out the area enough where you can literally feel it decreasing. Totally recommend this!!!

Love it

I have acne and I bought this along with the Riche cream lotion and the matte one. I put this on every night and my face is almost clear after a week. It does peel in some areas so you need to pay attention to how much you put on. I stay clear of my eyes and mouth. Does lighten your eyebrows so try not to get on them. I love this. Was on clindamycin and before duac gel and this works way better and is non prescription. Does burn a bit at first then is fine.

Love/Hate

I have a love-hate relationship with this product. It really burns when I put it on because my skin is so sensitive but it has helped me with a lot of my acne. Its not a miracle worker but it does do its job. Sometimes it may cause you to break out even more but thats because its trying to clear out all of your acne at once. If your acne is little to mild, Im sure this will work perfectly. However, if your acne is severe then this will help, but dont expect to be clear right away. Overall, great product though!

Great for those annoying zits and cysts

I always find myself going back to this product. It is great for zapping those unwanted zits and prevents blackheads from forming around my nose area. It treats the pimple and exfoliates the skin to prevent scarring. I went a year without this and decided to venture out and explore different french pharmacy products. This is definitely the best for those with acne prone skin. It is gentle yet very effective. You will see positive results in as little as a day.

Treats acne

I have had acne since I hit puberty and (even as an adult) this is the ONLY product that significantly cleared and still treats my acne. I use it every single day in the AM before applying La Roche Posays Anthelios SX Daily Moisturizing Cream (with SPF 15) and have had great success with this routine.

This stuff really works!

This product really does dry up your pimples and helps to make most white heads go away. Its exfoliating factor also helps to heal the acne scars or discolorations. Its a great product. My only complaint is that you have to wash your hands thoroughly after youve touched it so that anything you touch afterwards doesnt get bleached. Also your clothing, bed linens and towels can also get bleached when they come in contact with your face or body parts where you have applied this product.
