I've been trying everything to address adult hormonal acne and nothing has helped. My face is clearing up with this and I've had zero irritation or redness. Gentle yet strong!

I love every Laroche-Posay product I’ve tried. Healing up cystic acne bumps on shoulder and back with regular use. No side effects, just clearing up the acne nicely. Very affordable and very effective. Highly recommend!

I have sensitive skin and roseacea. The large sore acne bumps on my chin did not heal with prescription clindamycin. I came across articles abouteffaclar adapalene gel and decided to try. Nearly overnight cleared my skin up . I use as preventative now. I am so very thankful to be rid of those extremely sore flare ups for 2.5 years.

I worked with horses in my younger days (so outdoors in all kinds of weather) and was often "forgetful" about sunscreen. I also have fussy, challenging skin; I've dealt with acne and rosacea which have left their marks, and now wrinkles :-P I didn't expect any topical product to help me feel better about my skin, but La Roche-Posay's Effaclar Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment is amazing! In three weeks of using ~every other night, it has reduced the redness on my cheeks and chin, softened wrinkles on my face and neck, and is even minimizing the "chicken skin" on my upper chest. I look forward to continued improvement, but even if it's not as impressive, I'm still so happy to have found Effaclar gel :-)

It is a little to harsh for my skin, it made my skin more sensitive in the beginning. Even using my daily makeup remover wipes felt like sandpaper on my skin after using this product. I also needed a considerable amount of moisturizer to keep hydrated. I stopped using it altogether after 10 weeks since I was beginning to get acne breakouts.

My skin is sensitive to retinol and I prefer adapalene gel. I use it every night after cleansing and toning and have not had any problems with excessive dryness. It cleared up my adult acne after using it for two to three months, so I will keep it in my regular skin care regimen. A tube lasts a long time since you only need to apply a thin layer to skin. Effaclar products have really worked for me!

Staple product for me. My sensitive skin can tolerate this - yay! Really helps with hormonal acne and pushing skin turnover (aka anti-aging benefits too). There is research (search pubmed) that adapalene is as effective as tretinion for anti-aging benefits and it's also a more stable compound which is why it's less irritating!

This cream is just as good as the prescription retinol that you get at the doctors' office. Glad that I can get it online.

As someone who has struggled with cystic acne for years, I was skeptical about trying another product, but this has been a game-changer! I have been using this every night for over a year and have noticed a significant reduction in breakouts and blackheads. My skin is clearer, smoother, and overall healthier. I initially experienced some purging, mild dryness, and irritation, but those side effects quickly subsided as my skin adjusted to the product. I highly recommend sandwiching your moisturizer with the gel starting out to minimize any discomfort. If you're looking for an effective and affordable acne treatment, LRP Adapalene Gel is definitely worth considering!

I have been breaking out a lot lately and my usual retinol was not doing anything for me. This just works! It can be very drying so I recommend a moisturizer.

La Roche Posay’s adapalene works so much better on my aging acne prone skin than Differin. I’ve tried many different products including prescription strength Retin-A. This produce doesn’t dry out my skin or cause flaking and has been keeping my acne/oily skin in check. Highly recommend.

This definitely takes time, it won’t work wonders in a couple nights or even a couple weeks, it takes months from my experience since you need to start off slow. But after that, it really makes a difference in your skin. My complexion is so much more even and the breakouts have lessened so much. It isn’t a cure all for me, because I think I’ll always have occasional hormonal breakouts, but it helps so much in terms of amount and even how fast they go away.

I used this product in drier weather when my prescription strength Retin A dries out my skin. It is a nice substitute.

I have been debating with myself about this brand and another popular brand on Amazon. In the end, I purchased the LRP Adapalene. And I am glad that I made the perfect choice.
