Comments about La Roche-Posay Effaclar Dermatological Acne Treatment:
While this product was effective in reducing my adult acne it came at a cost. My skin became very irritated, red and dry which led to a whole new set of issues. I returned it after 3 days of use, it wasn't worth keeping.

Q:
Can you use prescribed Retin-A Micro Gel while using this?Asked on 1/11/2018 by Michelle from US1 answer
A:
Hi Michelle! If you are using a prescribed treatment on your skin such as a Retin-A we would suggest consulting with your dermatologist before adding the Effaclar System into your routine.Answered on 1/25/2018 by Brand Expert from La Roche-Posay
Q:
Is this product good for sensitive skin? Will it make my skin dry or red?Asked on 12/28/2017 by Sophie from Virginia Beach,US1 answer
A:
Hey Sophie! Our Effaclar System is suitable for sensitive skin. Please note, however, that these products are meant to help fight acne being as the Duo contains Benzoyl Peroxide and therefore are stronger than products that just add hydration. We do suggest that you use a moisturizer and that you take care to see how your skin reacts to the products.Answered on 12/29/2017 by Brand Expert from La Roche-Posay
