La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo + Review Photos Price India (2)

I’ve been quite lucky to have been blessed with reasonably good skin 🙂  However every once in a while I land up with a few really painful and horrible looking pimples – they take forever to go and then there is this ugly unsightly mark that stays as a reminder.  Unless I use something specifically targeted at clearing my skin, the mark stays on and fades away, ever so slowly. This time I had a minor breakout I decided to get some focused assistance early on.  Now I absolutely agree that  1300 for a 40ml tube is expensive – but then I had to know how well La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo + would work.  If it took away the pimples and left behind no marks then it would be ever so worth it.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo is indicated for imperfection prone skin, clogged proes and excess sebum.  I have now been using this for over 2 weeks even though the product details mention that you need to use this for 4 weeks to see marked difference.

Texture – La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ has a gel like hybrid consistency that sinks in immediately.  In fact I would say this sinks in much much faster than any of the other skincare that I have been using. It doesn’t feel sticky or tacky at all.  In fact after a couple of hours I needed some moisturizer as my skin was feeling like there was nothing on it at all.

I have normal to oily skin that tends to get a little dry in the winter.  I normally am ok with a single skin care product, however in this case I felt I needed to layer something on after a few hours.  If your skin is oily however, you should be absolutely ok with just this.

My Experience

I found that the pimples were drying up faster than normal and though there were a few light marks these were fading relatively quicker than normal.  The most impressive was the fact that the pimples did not get painful – yes they hurt less and kind of vanished in a day and an a half – unlike earlier when they used to stay on for 3 to 4 days.

The bit about unclogging pores was a little more difficult to observe.  Very honestly I really cant find much of a difference however long and hard I try to stare at my pores in a mirror.  I am sure there will be some clarity if viewed under proper light – however to the lay person there is not much difference.

Overall my skin feels and looks clearer.  I actually got a few compliments with people saying that I looked like I had just returned from a relaxing vacation. So this must be doing something right after all.

Overall Thoughts

If you have skin imperfections or marks then La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo is clearly the way to go.  I found a difference in relatively ok skin, so if you have chronic issues I cannot recommend this enough.  I found a noticiable difference in just 2 weeks.
