To open the product, remove the cap and insert the opposite side of the cap into the foil. Push down on the cap and twist until the foil is punctured.
Use once daily. Clean the skin gently and pat dry before applying product. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer. For example, if your acne is on the face, apply the product to the entire face. Do not use more than one time a day. Applying more than directed will not provide faster or better results, but may worsen skin irritation. During the early weeks of use, your acne may appear to worsen before it improves (this is normal); continue use as directed, unless you get irritation that becomes severe. Irritation is more likely to occur in the first few weeks of use or if using more than one topical acne medication at a time but irritation usually lessens with continued use of this product. Applying more than directed will not provide faster or better results. It may take up to 3 months of once daily use to see results. For further instructions, refer to the Drug Facts on the packaging.

Kind of works
I bought this product because I have acne scars that kind of just popped up one day, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out where they came from, as I have clear skin. So I decided to try this brand because of how much dermatologists praise it. I did some research and I ended up with the Effac...

Be cautious if you have sensitive skin!

I've been using La Riche Posay products for years, such as their acne cleansers and toners. I've never had any severe reactions with any of their products until I used this gel. I tried this stuff two days ago and now my entire face is severely flakey, red, dry, and painful. It feels and looks like I have a sun burn (I had no sun exposure). Even trying to put moisturizer or Aloe vera gel on my skin, it stings and makes my skin inflamed. I've only put a small dab of this gel on my face twice and got this terrible reaction. I've never had this reaction to any other product. I'm very disheartened because this gel did seem to help shrink pimples but, it literally ruined my face. Be very cautious when using this gel if you have sensitive skin.
Works with consistent use!

With consistent use, makes your skin smooth and glowy. I'm a physician and all my derm friends recommend this as a daily retinol. I get a lot of compliments on my skin now (used to be acne prone)
Maybe
This product is strong reducing a spot over night but it is very drying and can cause my oily sensitive skin to flake. When this first happen I was at a lost thinking it was my other products until I came to the conclusion that this is not for all over the face or daily/nightly use. If you just need a spot treatment neosporin is a great alternative as well as the little face stickers as for a retinol this is not it im not even sure it is supposed to be used as such but for me this was a spot treatment. Were a sunscreen when you were this spf 30 and up ok bye now.
This stuff is MAGIC
Honestly blown away. I was recommended this by my dermatologist to help clear up so blsckheads and just generally tame acne and I was SHOOK when I saw how quickly my pores shrunk in literally just a single night. This stuff is magic and I've been using it for months now and the second I get another pimple its gone within 3-4 days max with no need for any other acne treatment. Literally the only effectove product I've used for acne. Magic fairy dust-infused, seriously. Don't walk, RUN to go get this. You're welcome.

The first time I tried this product I had a really bad experience with purging and peeling. It even cause a rash/ incredible amount of redness under my eyes. After reading some of the reviews I'm going to try this product again to and start only 1/2 time a week.
