Rated 1 out of 5 by from Awful - Very Disappointed I actually tried this a while back and did get in touch with La Roche Posay at the time and was told that what I experienced was very unusual but after reading some of the reviews on here it was not. My skin also burnt terribly after using this product so much so that I had to wash it off my face. I tried it a couple of times and the same thing occurred. I don't have any issues with any of the other Effaclar products I use and I also use Retinol every night with absolutely no problem. I did give it to a friend who had no issues with it so I am not sure what the actual problem with it is.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Neep Help I need a help. What serum should I use? I have combination skin with open pores on my cheeks and nose and chin area. I have bumpy skin on chin area. Also have clogged pores full with some sort of semi solid and oily thing on nose and chin. Skin looks dull. In summer I get too oily skin especially nose and chin but in winter I get a dry skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Amazing! I had a breakout of adult acne due to stress. I should’ve read the ingredients list but I initially had a horrible reaction against the medication I was taking. After adjusting the dosage and checking how much my skin could tolerate, I’ve been using this at night on alternative nights alongside antibiotics tablets. Previously my skin was reacting terribly but for the last two months I have seen major improvement. The acne was so bad that wearing matte makeup made it look worse. Not I can wear matte make up and not feel horrible. I’m hoping to using sheer make up with blemish corrections soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cleared my Skin up in 6 weeks I suffer with hormonal, bacterial acne. In summer months it worsens, I was hunting for a routine to keep blemishes at bay. I have been using this for 6 weeks, morning and night with my cleanser. I can honestly say its changed my skin, I don’t have spots come as much, it’s made scars fade and skin overall looks brighter. It’s a must for me now! * it did cause my skin to “purge” that lasted about a week.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Burnt my skin My face was on fire for days after using this serum. Gave me a chemical burn! Feels too strong and I can't find any information on what is the concentration of acids in there.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Sensitive skin... Doesn’t work. If you have acne…… It didn't work for me. My skin is sensitive and I have mild acne, but this product helped increase my tolerance to acne and now I have two problems. I had no results in 4 weeks of application, as mentioned in the packaging that it would have worked. I stopped using it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 72 yr old with consistent blackheads and whitehead A miracle for me. Post menopausal spots. After just 3 nightly applications on my face tightened pores. I also steam and use a 'scrubber'..I'm also using the Vit C serum during the day.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Massive break out I’m posting this again as my first review was deleted and no reply or reason was given. Is this meant to cause a breakout ? I’ve used this product twice in a week and followed the instructions, I have now got lots of small bumps and lots of spots all over my face where I didn’t have them before, is the normal ? Should I continue ?
