DERMATOLOGIST INSIGHT


"Many of the patients I see with adult acne struggle to find a product to not only help with breakouts but also other concerns as well, including skin texture, post-acne marks, and enlarged pores. The Effaclar Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Serum not only treats acne but also the signs of aging, working to visibly reduce pores, fine lines, and post-acne marks."

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best serum Works really good, my skin looks without imperfections right away

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good serum foi oily skin I was used to the previous version of this serum and I liked it better than this one. I was sad that it’s no longer available. I’m not quite sure yet if it’s effective, I probably need more time to see results, but I like the consistency and the fact that settles in quickly. It doesn’t leave my skin greasy and I use a moisturizer and sunscreen on top of it. I’m suspect because I have used La Roche products for so many years and I really like the quality, it’s a safe brand to go to. For my skin type they have everything I need, including this serum. One could imagine that at almost 44 years of age acne wouldn’t be an issue anymore but kinda it is. I ordered in hopes to achieve a brighter skin as well which I believe it does. So overall I think it does the job.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works! I've had blackheads on my nose that are so hard to get rid of. After using this product for a couple of weeks, my blackheads are visibly minimized.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible It is absolutely horrible, I have enlarged pores. That’s my skin concern. When I first applied it, it turned my skin red immediately. I washed it minutes after applying it. I don’t know what to do now and I’m very worried.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not for me Did not work for my skin type, instead any time I used it my skin would burn and turn red. In addition my skin has never been so dry that it looks really bad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This product provides a visible difference. This product is very effective on reducing oily skin. It makes blackheads disappear and gives skin a smooth healthy texture. I consider it a miracle product. I have suffered with acne oily skin for years and this is truly a product that makes a visible difference.
