Really easy to use
It came in pretty straightforward packaging with clear (no pun intended) instructions. I've tried their foaming face wash, and to be perfectly honest, I prefer that to the gel cleanser that came with this system. My face still felt clean after washing with the gel. The toner came out a little quickly, but it was effective, and it smelled great. Then the duo goes on smoothly, doesn't smell like anything, and doesn't overly dry my skin. I still used my nighttime moisturizer, so that may have helped.

This really works!
I have been battling adult/hormonal acne for years and have tried everything from facials with mild peels to brightening cleansers, facial brushes, and Retin-A. While these things sometimes made the acne better, they also seemed to exacerbate it as well. I was about to go to the dermatologist and get a prescription for something to help, but then I thought I'd give these products a try. I am very impressed by the difference this has made in my skin in a short amount of time. It does bring some acne to the surface by cleaning out the pores, but my oily areas are much improved and clearer and brighter. It also has been good about not drying out my skin, which was a concern. I still use my regular treatment products and moisturizer in the drier parts of my face and use the spot treatment where there are problems. I highly recommend trying this product if you've also had acne problems that you couldn't resolve.

Fav Acne System so far
I love this acne system. I have found when I use the individual products with others it doesn't work as well.

Excellent Product!
Excellent product for my skin! This is the clearest my skin has been with any product since the birth of my third child. After breastfeeding my skin went haywire, and this is the only product I found that has regulated my skin. I still get a couple small breakouts but they clear so much faster when they do happen!

Effaclar 3-Step Acne System - YES
I did not purchase for myself but for a college student granddaughter. Her acne reoccurs when stressed during the semester. I purchased after reading many positive reviews on this website and my own personal experience La Roche-Posay products for the past 30-35 year. My granddaughter was amazed at her positive results only after two weeks of use. She continues to use to keep her stress related acne in check. From my granddaughter’s positive results, I cannot recommend this product enough and the price cannot be beat. (I checked into other acne systems when researching and their prices were exorbitant)!

Good
The gel cleanser in this set is my only staple. I prefer the regular Effaclar toner, for me it's less irritating. My skin is oily, problematic, sensitive, and aging.

Works well!
I bought this for my 17 year old son. It actually works well for him. It's a struggle to get him to use all three steps though. The unexpected bonus was that my 14 year old daughter who has keratosis pilaris started using it and it has helped the bumps on her face.

Works great for the price
Only giving it a 4 because I still have some breakouts but only used it for 5 weeks. It feels amazing in my skin and will continue to use it.

A 3-step system that actually works!
I have adult acne and have tried many products in the past with minimal success. The 3-step Effaclar system works great! I've now used the product for a week and I have seen a noticeable decrease in acne. I'm surprised how fast the system has worked. Follow up with a great moisturizer and your skin will thank you!

WOW!
I bought this kit for my daughter to replace her 3-step system from the other well known brand that cost me over $200. The result from La Roche-Posay way surpasses the result from the other well known brand kit!! This is only week 3, and I can see a huge result on my daughter skin. I am very pleased with La Roche-Posay Effaclar 3 step system!!

Great for Sensitive skin ACNE, WORKS! AFFORDABLE!
Both my 20-year-old and 14-year-old daughters tried everything for their sensitive, combo to dry skin acne and nothing seemed to completely do the job 100%, until this SET! It's amazing; My girls love the entire line. In the beginning, they both had some slight peeling and redness, nothing too bad and after continuing with the set of effaclar both cleared. These products do not work unless you're using the entire set, so don't let yourself run out or skip a night. My girls really like the price point, very affordable. They both still have some scarring leftover that is slowly fading .

It works
This is the best 3 step system for acne I have ever used. I've had acne since in my teens, but in my 20s and early 30s, I had it under control. But recently in March or April 2018, I've been breaking out pretty bad:( like most acne sufferers, I feel I've tried everything. I watched a beauty Youtuber highly recommended La Roche-Posay sunscreen, (i wear sun screen every day), and came across LovelySkin and saw all the products the brand had to offer and saw this set. After a week of using, I was seeing results. I use it day and night. It's been about 4 weeks now and I''m still happy, I just ordered another set and will continue to use:)

Helped me clear up my skin for my wedding!
I had to get serious about my acne before my wedding- usually a zit here or there isn’t the end of the world but I really wanted clear skin for the big day. I never tried the cleanser, but the toner and duo treatment worked extremely well once I nailed down a regimen and stuck to it. I think the toner was key and I already bought a full size, now part of my daily routine. Highly recommend!

Better than anything I have tried, and I have tried them all
I don't know if it is the LHA or the Glycolic acid but this finally works for me. I have had terrible cystic acne since I was a teenager I am in my 40s now and still battling. I get terrible cysts that discolor and take months to heal and leave dark spots on my skin. This is healing the lumps much faster than anything I have ever used and making any new breakouts much smaller and healing those faster as well. The new formations are not huge lumps anymore, small manageable bumps that don't flare up. I have used everything out there with the exception of accutane and that includes pharmaceutical Retin-A. This stuff is a must try, I hope you get results as good as I have. This is my new everyday must have acne treatment.

Great Product
I have been using the Effaclar 3 step system for over a year and my cystic acne has disappeared. I use it once a day in the morning and use the Effaclar Micellar Water to remove my makeup in the evening. I have already recommended this product to friends.

Clear Skin 1, Acne 0
I suffer from cystic acne flair ups around my chin. I’ve tried everything from prescription creams to several other derm recommended facial care lines that helped some. This particular system has worked wonders. I’m in my 30s and immediately noticed a change in my skin. My skin is clear and refreshed looking. Definitely found my perfect anti-acne system!!

Okay
I thought these products were just okay. I did not see much difference in my skin, for better or worse. My skin is very sensitive and I thought these products were kinder to my skin than most acne products, so that was nice. I do not think I would buy the set again, but I may buy the Duo leave on treatment.
