Sits heavy on the skin
I really wanted this cleanser to work. It was my understanding that this cleanser was a "replacement" for the Step-3 Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment cream for the Effaclar line. I really do wish that La Roche Posay would reformulate that cream. The original 3 step system was perfect for my skin and n...

Loving the after glow!
I've been using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Acne Face Wash for a while now, and it's amazing! The 4% benzoyl peroxide really helps clear up my acne without over-drying my skin. After washing, my face feels fresh, smooth, and has a nice glow. It also seems to prevent new breakouts, which is a huge plus. Definitely a must-have for anyone with acne-prone skin!
Nice product
This product has no scent which is nice and texture is runny and smooth. I been using this for a week now and have noticed some acne clearing up.
lightweight and feels refreshing
Since I started using this cleanser, I've noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of my skin. At first, I was a bit skeptical about using a product with benzoyl peroxide because I had read that it could be irritating. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how gentle it is. The texture is lightweight and feels refreshing upon application. After a few weeks of use, my acne breakouts have noticeably decreased, and my skin feels clearer and more balanced. I use it every morning and night, and although I experienced slight redness at first, my skin has adapted well. It's important not to overdo it with the amount since a little goes a long way. Additionally, I appreciate that it is fragrance-free, which is a big plus for my sensitive skin. However, I give it a 4 instead of a 5 because I feel it could be a bit more hydrating, especially during the colder months. Overall, I am very satisfied with the results and would definitely recommend it to those struggling with acne.
Cleared all my stress acne!
I recently tried La Roche-Posay, and it has truly transformed my skincare routine. After struggling with stress acne for months, I noticed a significant improvement within just a few weeks of using this product. It effectively calmed my breakouts and helped clear my skin without causing irritation. I did receive this product in an ad-deal but I could never promote something that wasn't the best!

Solid Addition to skincare
I've been using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo with 4% Benzoyl Peroxide for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed. It's gentle yet effective, helping to clear up my acne without drying out my skin too much. I noticed a reduction in blemishes after about a week. That said, it can be a bit intense for sensitive skin—some users have reported irritation, so I'd recommend starting slowly and seeing how your skin reacts. Overall, it's been a solid addition to my skincare routine!
