La Roche-Posay Effaclar Multi-Target Blemish Patches

Most Helpful Positive Review

Great for oily skin!

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. As someone who's relied on La Roche-Posay's cleanser and moisturizer for years, I was genuinely excited to be gifted the new Effaclar Duo+M Patch to try out. Their products have always worked well with my sensitive skin, so I was curious (an...d hopeful) to see if this new addition would live up to the same standard. First impressions? The packaging is a sleek blue box that holds 24 hydrocolloid patches in different sizes — perfect for targeting anything from a small clogged pore to a full-on breakout. I decided to try the patches during a busy week leading up to a last-minute weekend getaway. Honestly, I couldn't have timed it better. I applied a couple of patches at night on areas that were feeling congested — especially my T-zone, jawline and chin, where I tend to get oily. The patches went on smoothly, stuck well, and didn't feel irritating at all (huge win for my sensitive skin!). By morning, I noticed those areas looked less inflamed, and the oily shine I usually wake up with had visibly calmed down. What I loved most was that the patches didn't dry out my skin — just gently helped pull out impurities while keeping everything balanced. They were also super travel-friendly. I tossed a few in my skincare bag for the weekend, and they were perfect for keeping my routine minimal without sacrificing results. I haven't worn them under makeup yet, but I've heard you can — and that's next on my list to try. Overall, the Effaclar Duo+M Patch is a great addition to the La Roche-Posay lineup. It's effective, gentle, and practical — exactly what I look for in skincare. If you're already a fan of the Effaclar range (like I am), this little box might just be your new go-to.
