An ideal choice for those concerned with red, raised acne blemishes and pimples.
Lipo-Hydroxy Acid: Also known as LHA, it's a derivative of salicylic acid, and has exfoliating and skin surface renewing properties.
Glycerin: Derived from vegetable sources, it's an excellent humectant. It helps hydrate skin by absorbing water from the surrounding environment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BEST acne treatment This is the first acne treatment that I have ever purchased more than two of. It genuinely has helped my acne. I have combination skin and have always struggled with breakouts. I have super sensitive skin and this is totally fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love I just started using this because I deal with rosacea and my skin has become noticeably clearer and brighter. I was dealing with horrible flares for a very long time and this is the first thing to help. I use their dual moisturizer after because I suggest using an spf with this. It can be slightly drying.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hands down the best Without a doubt the most effective skin care product I’ve ever used (in conjunction with other products from this brand). I bought a sampler set when I had a really bad acne outbreak in 2021 and have been using it ever since. My outbreak has since cleared up but every now and then I’ll get a pimple and within a day or two after using this product it’s gone

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great acne product. Strong! I use this in the summer and opt for a benzol peroxide cleanser in the winter as my face is more sensitive. It does cause dryness like any other benzol peroxide and it can make your skin peal. Make sure you use this with a hydrating serum like hylaronic acid and slowly introduce it to your skin (especially if you have sensitive skin). This always clears any blemishes I get in the summer and control my oil production!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Buy this ASAP I tried derma planing at home and ruined my skin! I broke out too bad that I try many products and none of them worked on me. Then, I decided to give a try to la Roche Posey brand, including the cleanser, moisturizer, and this AMAZING product. The Effaclar Duo Acne Treatment helped my skin after being ashamed of myself. I absolutely love the product. Eliminated all the breakouts on my face.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not very drying This doesn’t dry me out the way other benzoyl peroxide products do but it doesn’t seem to be terribly effective. I don’t notice a big difference when using this product compared to other, less expensive OTC topicals on the market.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Works but not as fast as tik tok says The product works for sure. Not sure if it's my skin only but sometimes it's so harsh that my skin almost burns and starts peeling off
