#LA ROCHE POSAY EFFACLAR DUO ANTI IMPERFECTIONS SKIN#
I love this one and it has truly been a skin saver! I also make sure I apply this directly on clean skin, so no serums for me on those areas. I only use it on areas that feel clogged or that have spots and it goes to work very quickly, so I usually have normal skin back in a few days. It can feel drying on skin but it doesn’t cause skin to flake, nor turn it red. The La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo is a lightweight gel-cream textured cream that works to combat skin imperfections and zap zits without irritating and flaking skin. I don’t know if it will work for very badly congested skin or for those with bad acne, but if you’ve tried everything else and nothing seems to work, give Effaclar Duo a try. This is a good product, and one that works well. Slightly metallic to my nose, but I’ve gotten used to it, and I associate it now with my skin healing process. The cream itself is a light gel-cream texture and there is a fragrance. I don’t get breakouts very much anymore, now that I’m playing around less with different types of skincare (and forsaking the ones I have no confidence in – no more mad scientist experiments from this blogger!) so when I do, this is the cream I reach for and it clears everything up in 2 days or so. I credit the LRP Effaclar Duo with unclogging my bumpy chin when it was at its worst, and also, for soothing and zapping zits that may pop up from time to time. When I have a spot on my cheek, I apply this cream only where I experience the breakouts, and it does the job beautifully! Yes, I do use 2 different moisturisers on my skin to target different concerns and it’s working well! For me, this is usually around my chin where my skin may get clogged or I may break out. So, what I do now, is only use the Effaclar Duo on areas where I have problems, directly on clean skin. It doesn’t cause my skin to flake or be irritated, for which I’m thankful, and LRP credits that to the inclusion of thermal spring water, to calm irritated skin. I wasn’t too surprised to be honest, because it does contain ingredients that exfoliate skin and reduce clogging and these ingredients do tend to be drying. Where I did not have spots or clogged pores, I found it a little drying. See, it says “Apply morning and/or evening on the whole face” so I did. But you know what? It’s what the instructions tell me to do and I always follow instructions.
When I mentioned this, I was told that I could not and should not use it all over my face. It is also more drying, if you use it all over your skin very often. It is reminiscent of the Vichy Normaderm cream (not surprising, since they are owned by the same parent company – L’Oreal) but I feel that this one is more potent. The Effaclar Duo cream is what they call a corrective cream, targeted at skin imperfections and clogged skin. This is now my go-to cream for when I get the occasional spot! I was then recommended Effaclar Duo and then, I saw that was doing a sale so I picked it up, and I have never looked back since. It had all these bumps and spots (later traced to a reaction from food – who’d have guessed!) and I just didn’t know what to use because what I’d previously used was the Vichy Normaderm cream and since they pulled out, I’d run out. I picked up the Effaclar Duo at a time when I was feeling low about the condition of my skin. But I picked this up online and you can too. There are so many other items I’d love to try from the brand because I’ve only been impressed so far. La Roche-Posay STILL isn’t available here at time of writing (Sept 2013) which is a pity. For everyone living in Malaysia, no, don’t get your hopes up.
