Repair Solution for Combination and Oily Skin La Roche-Posay Effaclar K+

I didn't really like it. It seemed decent, but for the price, I expected more. It hardly moisturizes (especially after using the super drying Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel), and my pores haven't improved. Maybe there are slightly fewer breakouts, but that's about it. I will go back to using Bioderma products, which gave me velvet-smooth skin. It's a pity I decided to experiment.

This cream is a real savior for oily problematic skin. It effectively mattifies, evens out the tone and texture of the face, heals existing inflammations, and prevents new ones from appearing. I especially want to highlight the scent - it is simply wonderful. I am completely satisfied with this cream, and I will definitely purchase it again!

I have previously used a cream from this same brand, but the duo+ version, and I liked it, so I decided to try this cream as well. It absorbs very well and does not cause any breakouts (which was a big problem when I used creams from other brands). There is no greasy shine for a couple of hours, but the matte effect from the DUO cream lasts much longer. Nevertheless, it is still a very good cream. I also use the face wash and lotion from the same brand. Dermatologists and cosmetologists recommended them to me, and I do not regret it. After a month, my skin looks much better, and everyone can see the difference.

I have been using this product for over two years now. It is an excellent cream for oily facial skin.

Good cream, eliminates oily shine, smells nice.

It worked for me. But here's my routine: micellar water first, then Effaclar foaming cleanser, followed by the exfoliating tonic Effaclar. Then I apply Effaclar Duo Plus and finish with Effaclar K. I have oily skin. The cream didn't dry out my skin and didn't cause any new breakouts. I noticed that my blemishes started healing faster after using this cleanser. I use it both in the morning and at night. In the evening, I can also use Cicaplast baume B5 on top of this cream, they work well together!)

I don't understand why there are so many good reviews, but after testing it, I can say that it is the worst product from this company. It terribly dried out my already not dry skin, making it look tight and flaky. (((

I didn't like the cream, it made my skin feel tight afterwards. Maybe it would be good for very oily skin, but I have combination skin and it dries it out a lot. I also don't really like the texture, and it tends to roll off a bit under makeup. I won't buy it again. They sent me Effaclar Duo as a gift, and it's much better.

This product effectively mattifies oily skin with enlarged pores, resulting in fewer breakouts.

I have oily skin with breakouts and post-acne. The cream absorbs very quickly. I only use it at night because I tried it in the morning and within an hour my skin became shiny and oily, making me want to wash my face and wipe it with something. I went to a cosmetologist for a chemical peel and they gave me 2 samples of this company's product. But the same story, very oily skin - definitely not suitable for mornings. They also gave me a sample of Effaclar with a peeling effect, but I don't even know if it's worth trying. It seems like La Roche is not for my skin, the eye cream is somewhat okay, but I'm not thrilled with it either. Overall, all the products make my already oily skin even more greasy.

The cream is effective, I am satisfied, thank you! It has evened out the texture of my skin, reducing the appearance of acne scars and minimizing breakouts. Now, I am interested in trying the Duo+ product, although I am not sure what the significant difference is between them. The characteristics of these two products are very similar.

This product is extremely drying. It caused dermatitis, resulting in red inflammations and flakiness all over my skin. It's a waste of 400 UAH.

I had a problem with small breakouts on my cheeks and neck. After using this cream in combination with the toner and face wash from the same series for 1 month, my skin has improved. The tone has become more even, the pores have tightened, and the oily shine has disappeared. The cream tube lasted exactly 3 months, using it twice a day. As for the face wash and toner, they have lasted for 5 months with the same frequency of use. The consistency of the cream is light, so it absorbs quickly. Overall, I have only positive impressions of La Roche-Posay cosmetics. I will definitely order it again.

If you are looking for an unbiased comment, I will surprise you: I believe in every comment with a rating of 5+.
I have a problem with my skin, constant shine, and the constant use of matte wipes - everything is temporary.
I applied the cream, 1 minute:
• No shine
• Normal skin tone, I don't know how it does it, but I'm thrilled
• I won't say that it stays matte all day, but for about 10 hours - definitely.
The price is quite reasonable and the result is evident - literally)))
Ladies, take my advice from a woman just like you)

The cream is simply luxurious! I used to use effaclar h while undergoing medical treatment for my skin, but now I have switched to this cream. I really love how my skin feels after using this cream. It doesn't get oily and remains matte throughout the day. The marks from post-acne have lightened.

I have been using it for almost a month now and I am already satisfied with the result! I really like the entire Effaclar series! From now on, it's only Roche-Posay for me!

I really like this cream. I have been using it not for the first time. It is a perfect match for my oily skin with enlarged pores. I also use the face wash gel and pore-minimizing lotion from this line. Everything suits me perfectly.

I've been using this product for probably more than two weeks now. My skin is combination type, and this cream has been very helpful with my acne. It does dry out the skin, so it's perfect for the summer. I didn't expect my old pimples to go away so quickly and for new ones not to appear. Overall, if you have similar problems, I recommend buying it, it might work for you too. By the way, it also helps to minimize and reduce oiliness in the pores.

I have been using this product in combination with the matching face wash. With daily use, I have noticed a reduction in acne marks and redness. However, it does slightly dry out the skin, so I wouldn't recommend using it twice a day. It is necessary to use a moisturizer as well.

This product effectively dries and mattifies the skin, but it clearly requires something additional to alleviate inflammation after its use.

I apply this cream directly on the affected areas. After a week of using it every day (at night), the pimples where I applied this cream disappeared. I highly recommend it!

The creams and gels have wonderful effects, they are light and soothing. I have been using this brand for a while now and I am completely satisfied.

This is an excellent product that helps eliminate pimples. It is suitable for oily, problematic skin. The texture is soft and absorbs quickly. I have tried other products from this brand, but they didn't have the same effect. Buy it, you won't regret it.

I have already left a review, but I would like to add that after a month of use, my skin has really improved, even though I did not expect it. In the first week of use, my skin became oily and I did not see any significant results. But now, there is really no more oily shine that was there before, and my pores are getting smaller. They are not completely gone, but I do notice a difference. I used it under Mary Kay foundation + powder, and my face looks better for sure. So maybe I will purchase it again or try a different version.

I am not very satisfied with the cream as it leaves a greasy shine on my skin. It is too early to say anything about the pores as I have not used it much. However, I would like to address the representatives of La Roche-Posay and ask why they do not provide samples of their product to customers. Your cosmetics are quite expensive, and before making a purchase, I would like to try the product instead of buying a pig in a poke. I have already purchased the cleansing gel and I am satisfied with it, so I can recommend it. Now I have bought the cream and have not received any samples. But I would like to try the pore-minimizing lotion and the foundation. I have been looking for this product in pharmacies but I cannot find any samples anywhere. I do not understand why it is called therapeutic cosmetics if I cannot try it, especially considering the high prices and even higher markups in pharmacies.

I have been using skincare products from this brand for several years now, and they were the first products that suited my combination skin. Currently, I use this cream specifically on my nose and forehead as it has a drying effect. I have blackheads on my nose, but I suppose they need to be treated with other products rather than a skincare cream. Overall, the cream is of good quality, and its effectiveness depends on the overall health of the body, not just the skincare products.

This product mattifies the skin but is difficult to spread evenly, leading to increased consumption. However, it truly does a great job in restoring the skin after acne, especially for my combination skin at the age of 28. Unfortunately, it does not prevent breakouts, and I haven't noticed any pore tightening effects.

I used this cream together with the facial cleanser and lotion from the Effaclar series - it only got WORSE! I broke out very badly and I can't stop it. I don't remember ever having such breakouts since I was 18. I bought it at the pharmacy. I don't recommend it! The most interesting thing is that my skin was good when I started using it. I bought it at the pharmacy.

An essential cream in my cosmetic bag! It is lightweight, non-greasy, and provides excellent hydration! This cream was recommended to me by a dermatologist for acne, and the visible effect was noticeable after just a few days!

I really liked this product! I have already ordered it for the second time and I am happily using it. I noticed the effect already on the second or third day and I was pleasantly surprised. The skin immediately becomes matte, less oily, and looks much better with significantly fewer blackheads. The first tube, even though it seemed small, lasted almost 2 months with daily use. I will definitely order it again :)

Waste of money, absolutely no effect.

I have been using the entire Effaclar series for over a year now, but specifically with regards to this cream, I haven't seen any noticeable effects. However, I can't say that it's bad either.

After using the entire Effaclar series, including this cream, for 1.5 months, there was absolutely no effect. It does not mattify, nor does it even out the skin texture. It does absolutely nothing! I definitely do not recommend it.

I have always loved this cream and have been using it for over three years without any complaints. However, with my last order, they sent me the cream in a plastic tube instead of the usual metal one, and the quality is not the same anymore. It feels too greasy on my skin. Could you please let me know if you have the cream in a metal tube?

The cream is great, I really liked it. It is light on the face and has a pleasant scent. I have very oily skin in the T-zone and I've tried so many creams and cleansers, but nothing worked and my skin would become oily again just an hour after cleansing. But the La Roche-Posay cream, combined with the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel Moussant Purifiant cleanser, is a miracle. After the first application, my skin noticeably became matte. Throughout the day, my skin looks well-groomed and without any oily shine. Thank you La Roche-Posay and Makeup for the delivery.

The acids are present, and there is an effect, but you need to use it for a long time to see results. I noticed it after about a year: it visibly smoothed my skin and even lightened it in 2 years. However, it does not remove pigmentation spots; it lightens everything together. I currently use it both during the day and at night. The cream is light and pleasant, without any extra sensations or greasiness for my combination skin. It has a very nice light scent.

It did not handle inflammations on its own until I decided to address other causes. It also does not shrink pores on its own, so I need to look for something additional, but it also doesn't clog them, which is pleasing.

This lightweight cream has a pleasant scent. However, it does not mattify my skin at all.

I am extremely satisfied with this product, as it has completely eliminated the shiny appearance of my skin, which is especially important during the summer. The cream itself is lightweight and easy to apply. I have noticed a slight reduction in the size of my pores after using it for two weeks, but I will continue to monitor the results. Additionally, this cream effectively reduces redness, especially when used in combination with the Effaclar cleansing gel. Overall, I am very pleased.

The effect is definitely there, as the skin feels clean afterwards. It's worth buying and trying it out!

I am ready to give this product a thousand stars! I started using it over a month ago and already saw results after the first use. My face is cleaner, the skin feels pleasant to the touch, and there is no mask effect.
Then I bought the cleanser from the same Effaclar series. The result is amazing.
For over 5 years, I couldn't find the right products for myself. I tried so many things, but my pores would always get clogged again the following week after a facial treatment.
My combination skin, prone to oiliness, post-acne and occasional breakouts, and enlarged pores have become much cleaner and less oily (as much as possible in such heat).
And surprisingly, a few stubborn blemishes that even two facial treatments couldn't remove have almost disappeared.
I definitely recommend it!

Question for the Expert of the brand:
Currently, I am undergoing treatment with Isotretinoin and using the Effaclar line (gel and cream Effaclar H). My skin is no longer drying out like it did at the beginning of the treatment, and I would like to try Effaclar K+ to minimize pores and even out my skin tone. Could you please let me know if K+ would be suitable for my situation?
I have also tried Effaclar Duo+, but unfortunately, it did not work for me (causing discomfort and irritation).

La Roche quality is excellent. The cream removes shine and the skin doesn't get greasy by the end of the day. Super! It has improved my skin, evened out the complexion, and reduced inflammation. La Roche has once again succeeded in its task!

I am very satisfied with this product, it suits me perfectly. I had inflammations on my face, and this product has been a lifesaver for me.

I bought this product on the advice of a doctor to eliminate oily shine and minimize pores. However, instead of that, I ended up with huge, painful pimples that have been persisting for a week now. I haven't had pimples like this since I was a teenager (I'm currently 37 years old). My skin type is oily with occasional small breakouts, but not cystic acne. My skincare routine consists of using Effaclar Gel, Effaclar Lotion, and K+. We could argue about individual intolerance, but painful, cystic pimples are just too much. The product should even out the skin's surface, but now I'll have to treat the issues it caused.

Excellent product. I use it in the morning and evening after washing my face with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel. The cream is a good base for makeup, it mattifies without drying or tightening the skin. The only drawback is its volume: it lasted for a month and a half. I will be ordering a new one.

My favorite night cream, although it is not marketed as such. I have already used 2 tubes and have no intention of stopping. With it, my skin has become less oily, especially in the problem T-zone, old blemishes from pimples have disappeared, and skin breakouts have cleared up. Overall, my skin is more even and well-groomed. The only downside is that it runs out quickly, as I apply it to my entire face.

I purchased this cream as part of a set with a 50ml micellar water. The cream is quite good, it has a very pleasant scent, I mean, really nice. The texture is light, it absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a film or pill up, and moisturizes adequately. There are a couple of downsides though: it doesn't mattify the skin and when used with the gel mousse it can slightly dry out the skin, but overall I am satisfied!

I didn't understand if the product works for a long time. It couldn't heal my skin. The rashes became bigger in size. I changed the treatment plan and started using Efeklyar K+ locally on the pimples, and then the product started working differently. They don't disappear quickly, but they don't increase in size and don't cause discomfort. White spots appear around the area where I apply the cream, and when I specifically apply it on post-acne spots, it doesn't work at all. In short, until you try it, you won't understand how the product will work.

Personally, I am disappointed with this cream. It did not show any effect, neither from the first day nor after 21 days of use. This is despite using it in combination with the same brand's serozinc spray. In fact, during the second week of use, I even developed subcutaneous pimples on my chin. Despite this, I continued using it, but even after 3 weeks, my pores remained the same and there was still an oily shine in the same areas. I will definitely not be buying it again.

I have been using this product for the second tube now. My skin is oily and problematic. I didn't notice the real effect immediately, but after about a month of use. The pores became slightly smaller, the tone evened out, and now I have had no breakouts on my face for a month and a half. This cream is amazing, it suits me perfectly! I haven't found anything better yet.
