great acne treatment!
this was a product i was a little wary of using due to my fear of benzoyl peroxide. HOWEVER, this was not at all too harsh on my skin. i was very surprised. i really like LRP's products because they are so gentle but effective. i apply this at night on only my breakouts and i find that it definitely helps my skin clear up faster. the only issue is that on my dry skin, this treatment can be a little drying. but i imagine it would work out perfectly for oilier skin than mine, which is who this product was intended for! i received this product from influenster for free for reviewing purposes.

Best Anti-Acne Solution
The entire Effaclar Anti-Acne range I have found to be nothing short of perfect for my skin. I use the medicated gel cleanser, clarifying solution and duo plus and my skin is clear down to my pores with no visible markings whatsoever three weeks into the regimen. I would highly recommend the product to anyone with combination skin prone to breakouts and acne. It works perfectly if used consistently. I cleanse in the morning, tone with the clarifying solution at night and use duo plus in both instances. Also, I incorporate the Anthelios sunscreen when leaving the house and it works for me.

Takes time to see a difference!
I have moderate acne on my forehead (small red bumps) and around my jaw line on the right side. I have pretty much used everything over the counter and with the exception of Neutrogena products nothing works. After having read such amazing reviews about DUO I bought some (along with the gel cleanser). I did not see over night results as some on here claim. It took over a week to see real results. Now I am on week 2 and still have some lightly visiable bumps on my forehead and DRY SKIN! I use the DUO lightly once in the AM and once in the PM after washing my face. It does a great job of removing the oil but it has dried my skin and now I have to use a moisturizier. Over all I am happy with the product.

Effective for sensitive skin!
I have combination skin that turns insanely dry in the winter and becomes oily during the summer. However, I suffer from breakouts each month and the occasional blemish. This does a great job of spot treating without irritating my sensitive skin. I'm concerned with aging, as I recently entered my mid-30s, so I am usually wary of acne products. They tend to dry out my skin or cause it to peel excessively. However, this product managed to help clear my breakouts without impacting the rest of my skin. I'm also very impressed with the fact that there is not a strong scent to it! Comparable products usually smell strongly of the ingredients, but this one is much more mild. I'd highly recommend it!

Best thing I have found
It's no miracle product, but I think it's the closest thing there is. I first had this given to me by my dermatologist in Korea (I trust Koreans, they have amazing skin...) and I've been using it ever since, that's about 1.5 years. Once I run out, my acne automatically gets worse so I know it does something. I also wear makeup every day which doesn't help, but recently I've been doing Duo twice a day along with Clinique Acne solutions foundation, and using the 2 cleared up my skin like I haven't seen in years. Definitely a great product.

Love/Hate Relationship
I really do like this cream but I have a love/hate relationship. It’s really helped reduce any acne or blackheads I had and quickly! It also can leave a burning sensation on my skin after applying, which goes away quickly. It doesn’t cause my skin to get red at all, which is a big plus. Just using a tiny bit reduces the burning sensation. I really will purchase more, along with the Effaclar Mat Daytime Moisturizer. It’s a great combo for acne prone skin. I received this item free from Influenster in order to test and review the product!

THIS PRODUCT SAVED MY SKIN!
In my early 20's I started to develop very painful cystic acne around my jaw line. After trying a billion different products, going to the dermatologist and using prescription medications, I was recommended La Roche-Posey's products by the Beauty Consultant at CVS. I kid you not, within a month, (in combination with Effaclar Purfying Foaming Gel Face Wash), my skin was FLAWLESS! I recommend this product to anyone struggling with acne. My skin is soft, bright and acne free. Thank you so much La Roche-Posey. You truly saved my skin.

Super Impressed!
I typically don’t get bad acne but when I do I haven’t ever had a solution for it. The EFFACLAR Duo has done me so much good, summer is when I see more acne and this has been perfect for at night on any acne spots. It doesn’t dry out my skin either! I definitely noticed a reduction in my blemishes. I’ve been using this for a few weeks now in combination with the matte moisturizer and the cleansing cloths. Definitely a perfect little summer bundle. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes.
