Hello can this be used after the wash and then before the moisturizer lotion?

- Q
Hi! Is this supoosed to be used everyday? I thought you were supoosed to exfoliate every 3 days or so
- Asked by Al
- Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BEHello there! The Effaclar Micro-Exfoliating Astringent is designed for daily use, both morning and night, after cleansing. While traditional exfoliants might be recommended for use every few days, this toner contains lipo-hydroxy acid (LHA), a gentle exfoliant that allows for daily use without over-exfoliating. However, everyone's skin is different. If you experience any dryness or irritation, you can reduce the frequency to every other day or as needed. Always listen to your skin and adjust your routine accordingly. You can also consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice.Was this answer helpful to you

Great toner
I've been a user of a department store brand toner for over 40 years, and it worked well. But, I found as I entered my 60's, my skin was becoming dryer ( I've had oily skin, without many breakouts, all my life. Upside? No wrinkles). This particular toner didn't help anymore. I started using La Roch...

I had never used toner before, so I didn't know what to expect. My skin is oily and very sensitive, and prone to breakouts and redness. This didn't seem to aggravate those problems. The breakouts haven't stopped, but they do seem to be getting a little less. Same for the redness. My skin seems to be less oily as well. It is supposed to make your pores less visible, but I really haven't noticed a big difference. The scent is not overwhelming, which is a good thing for anything going on my face. All in all, I give it a thumbs up!
Really liked it!

I really enjoyed this toner!! Toner has always been a hit or miss product because they either don't really do anything or they break me out.. however this was different!! My skin started clearing up after using it and I have now incorporated it into my daily routine!! Not much in the way of cons, however I will say I also started using the Pixi glow tonic and I feel it worked just as well— so they're pretty similar in my opinion!

For starters I've never heard of this brand before and although I'm into skincare I usually take the more natural approach. But this product is definitely going to become a staple. This toner is not harsh and has a light scent. I've used this product without washing my face and then I used it in conjunction with washing my face and that was enough to convince me. Just to throw out there, my skin is sensitive but I'm not prone to breakouts and I have combination skin ( wearing mask has made my skin more oily than usual).
Favorite Part is the Smell

I have an oily forehead that can't get rid of the shine no matter what. I've been using this lately in hopes that it'll help. I haven't seen a difference in how oily my skin is. However, I do have to wear a face shield so that might have an affect. The smell is amazing. Very nice and pleasant. It makes me want to keep using it. Hopefully I see a change soon.
