LOVE!!!
My dermatologist recommended this product and said it was better than anything he could prescribe me. I had found myself overcome with severe adult acne after moving across the state. This cleared my skin up with only a few white head and no new break outs within a week. I would recommend this proud...

Got rid of acne scars, replaced with scaling
First picture is back in February, second picture is just now. Wanted to reduce my acne scars and treat some acne on my chin. While my acne scars did shrink within a few days, I also developed scaly and flaky hideous skin as well as super sensitive skin around my eyes. I'll continue to use this prod...

Literally Swear by This
I've never written a review before. I feel like everyone needs to know about this. My whole face was covered in pimples and comedonal acne. It was so bad. I used to have perfect skin then out of nowhere this happened. I tried everything for over a year and nothing worked. I did SO much research. You have to use this product correctly. Do the sandwhich method(moisturizer first then apply duo then moisturizer again), ive been using it for a year and still use this method. I use serum first then apply it then moisturizer. Some people use this incorrectly and its an active exfoliating ingredient so it can be harsh on your skin which is why you have to start small. After using it for two nights my skin was almost completely clear. Then it broke out which is normal its called purging. Uts because it increases your cell turnover rate.Then after a month it was completely clear and has been since. I totally recommend this, just use it correctly!!
Clears them up
At my age, I hardly get acne anymore. I am 53 and I never really had acne as a teenager or during my periods. But now I will get a few bumps on my temples and sometimes above my eyebrows. I always used to think that salicylic acid was the way to go. But recently, I started using the La Roche- Posay formula and have found that it is working better on my aging skin. Lately I have found two small blackheads on my body as well. This treatment cleared them both up immediately. I'm not sure why I am getting weird blackheads, I can only assume it's an age related thing - one was on the side of my thumb! However, my husband still gets acne on his back and neck. I just use this on him and they go away quickly.
Gave me a rash
Used this product once and it gave me a rash on my face. I am sure it was this product because the very itchy rash was limited to exactly where I applied the product. I do not have sensitive skin or dry skin.
Drying!!
It works very well to clear out acne!! But a little TOO WELL! It sucks everything out of your skin: acne and lipids (moisture) What im saying its takes out acne but it also takes out all moisture. (A week after i stopped using it i got a terrible face rash) just sayin
Cleared up acne spots but left me rashy and dry
I purchased this hoping to clear up some hormonal acne. I typically dont have sensitive skin and have been using acne products since a teen. I stopped using the cream but i have hive like bumps all around my jawline close to my ears and forehead. Its very itchy and now I'm bummed because of this rash. Hope it clears soon. Will not repurchase nor recommend.
