Hello Chicsters!


The La Roche Posay Effaclar range has been in my products to try list for the longest time that I can remember, mainly because of all the rave that these products have created in the last few years. In the past, I have tried products that were raved about which turned out to be a total dud for me however, in this case I can surely confirm that this product is worth the hype! Keep reading on to know what makes me speak so highly about it...

La Roche Posay Effaclar DUO Plus (+) Review

From the last one year my skin has been dealing with some hormonal breakouts because of which I have been extra careful about the products I include in my skincare routine. Most of the creams available in the market that help in spot control have a high level of Benzoyl Peroxide that tend to dry out your skin however, being a product that is suitable for sensitive skin that is not the case with La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Plus (+).

The La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Plus (+) is the new and modified version of the classic La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo. This version not only deals with acne, blemishes but also includes Procerad™, an exclusive anti-marks active ingredient.

La Roche Posay Effaclar DUO Plus (+) Review

Results:

• The product arrived in a squeeze easy nozzle tube. The nozzle made the application process easy, hygienic and super convenient while travelling.
• It had a light and refreshing scent that is not at all bothersome to me and does not linger around for a long time so people who are sensitive to scents need not worry about this.
• This white, gel cream product gets easily absorbed by the skin within a couple of minutes without leaving a greasy layer behind. The product feels very light and non-sticky on application. I have used it prior to makeup application and it teams up just fine with makeup products due to its hydrating yet mattifying nature.
• I had come across many posts earlier where people preferred to use this product as a spot treatment product but I like to rather apply a very thin layer of it as instructed all over my face (once a day after cleansing and toning my face in the morning). Only upon religiously applying this product everyday for a month I started seeing a noticeable difference in my skin. I noticed that the product helps in reducing the size of the acne within a day *woooohooo!* as well as reduces the redness and irritation caused by it. My skin felt clearer as no new spots were formed and I have even noticed that this product helped lighten dark spots but did not get rid of them completely. 
• Add on benefits of this product is that it is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and free from parabens, making it mainly a boon for sensitive skin people. Highly recommended!
