Here’s what our Review Crew® had to say about this treatment for blemish-prone skin
The product
If you suffer from acne, breakouts, blackheads or any other hallmark of congested skin, chances are you’ll be VERY familiar with every purifying product on the market. And it’s not just the actual pimples that cause us pain; it’s also the angry red marks, scars and pigmentation that are left behind long after the zits themselves have cleared.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo(+) is our latest discovery (and saviour) for blemish-prone skin. It contains a combo of ingredients including salicylic acid and piroctone olamine niacinamide to purify and treat congested skin, prevent future breakouts, and diminish red marks and pigmentation.
Yep, this bad boy doesn’t muck around and the good news doesn’t stop there – the formula also includes ingredients to soothe irritated skin.
Our panel of Review Crew® testers put this product to the test.
