La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo


Ive seen this product everywhere and it's so popular I finally got my hands on it a couple of months ago,

The texture is a gel-cream, which promises 24 hydration and lasting mattifying effect, non sticky, non oily finish. It's also an excellent makeup base.


 I've been using it for about a month and I definetly notice a difference. My skin got cleared after one week, no breakouts anymore. Which probably means unclogged pores as well. I love the texture, which is white. It feels like a regular cream and feels a lot more soothing.

. It soaks into the skin very quickly. I think it makes a great makeup base,  to me it leaves a bit of a sticky surface, which is perfect for makeup, so that it adheres to the skin better. I don't need an extra moisturizer on top of it, because my skin is combination to oily. For a really dry skin, this on itself, may not be enough. It's definitely not oily. The smell is very fresh citrus like.

I don't have acne or huge skin problems, but when I do get the odd breakout , I love this sort of product. It definitely helped me clear my skin in a couple of days, which is great. 
Have you used this product before and what are your thoughts?

  1. I just got this product recently! I love it! I was planning to write a blog post about it as well in the future because it's such a good product that is easily accessible! I like that it's a drugstore product that actually works!

  3. I have been using this for 2 weeks now and absolutely love it! Really cleared my skin up but the acne scarring to fade takes a lot longer so hopefully it will help that too :) xx

  8. Really want to try this, it sounds so good! I'm just a bit worried it may not agree with my skin and I know for some it's amazing but for others it broke them out! Nevertheless it's great that it worked for you! :) x

  13. I've also just got my hands on this and have been using it at night for a couple of weeks. Not sure if it's made a huge impact on my skin though to be honest - feel like it's not 100% right for me which is weird coz everyone seems to love it!
