Ultra Concentrated Face Serum La Roche-Posay Effaclar Serum

I bought this product for the first time based on a recommendation from a cosmetologist. I have to say... I am not very satisfied. If you have problematic skin, it doesn't really do anything except slightly reduce oiliness.

The packaging was not sealed, just a regular cardboard box. When I started to open it, I was surprised to find a plastic dropper that was twisted so tightly that the glass bottle started to crack at the threads. The threads turned into tiny cracks. I had to use it very carefully because of this unfortunate issue.

For the price, this product is very disappointing.

I really liked the serum. It is effective. My face looks fresh, acne has disappeared, and rashes are gone.

A wonderful product that you can feel the effects of after the first application! Amazing! I am very satisfied! Thank you!

I constantly test out new products, but the best serums are from La Roche. Lately, I've been experiencing a lot of breakouts and nothing was helping, but since using this serum, I haven't had any new pimples and my skin looks much healthier and rejuvenated. I use it in combination with the restorative cream Cicaplast Baume B5 from La Roche (another favorite of mine - it saves dry and irritated skin and evens out the tone) because the serum is concentrated and works like a peel. The cream helps restore the skin, and together I achieve a wonderful effect. There is also a fantastic serum from La Roche B5, which had an effect from the first use. I want to go back to it as soon as I solve my acne problem for good. I highly recommend these products. ❤️‍

I really like this serum. It improves the condition of the skin, doesn't dry it out, and removes acne marks.

I really like this product. It helps me get rid of breakouts and pimples. It's important to apply it on dry, cleansed skin. It doesn't cause dryness. I have already bought it for the second time. I highly recommend it.

I bought it for 1080 hryvnias, supposedly "on sale", and now it's 700 hryvnias. Well, the makeup is as usual, what can I say.

This serum is a real find! My skin is both combination and sensitive. The serum tightens pores, dries out pimples, reduces redness and inflammation. I am completely satisfied with it!

I don't care. This product is absolutely ineffective. Not only that, but I started getting pimples. Every now and then, one pops up, and before the previous one has even healed, the next one appears, and it's even under the skin, which is not easy to squeeze out. I use Effaclar Duo on top and apply Effaclar spot treatment, but they don't do anything. And the face wash gel from this line too. With Effaclar, the spot treatment, it seems like the pimples mature faster so they can be squeezed out. But not always. Now I have to buy Ugresol to prevent pimples from appearing. I wasted a lot of money and the effect is zero, or even negative. The only effective product from all La Roche's line is Cicaplast.

Today I received my long-awaited order! Thank you so much MakeUp and La Roche-Posay for the pleasant prices, as well as the gift of miniatures of cream. In our times, this is simply a wonderful promotion! I have already tried all these products (for the first time) and I am very satisfied with my choice. I even liked the fragrances, which is important to me. In four weeks, I will write a more detailed review where I will talk about the results. I am also very grateful to the L'Oréal consultants for their help in selecting skincare products. I wish everyone the long-awaited peace. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

I have purchased it twice. I can't say anything bad about it, but I also haven't noticed any results.

A wonderful remedy for redness and irritation.

This serum is excellent. It has helped to somewhat even out the texture of my skin. Especially when used in combination with Effaclar K+.

I really like it... no complaints at all.

I experienced subcutaneous rashes after using this product. It tends to excessively dry out my skin, despite it already being problematic and prone to oiliness. The only benefit I noticed was that it initially reduced inflammation of new pimples.

I have been using the product for a month now and I have formed an impression, so I can leave a review. I have a problematic area under my chin. In the first week of use, the number of breakouts in that area increased, but other areas of my face started looking much better. The pores have tightened, the skin feels soft to the touch, and the color is more even. After a month of use, the pimples on the problem areas have indeed decreased, but they are still present. I have noticed a small pigmented spot, even though I use SPF 50. Overall, I am satisfied with the product, except for one thing - it doesn't work at all on acne scars. It seems to me that they even heal slower with this serum.

I have found a solution for problematic skin and breakouts. After two weeks of use, my skin became clearer and the internal pimples that I have been struggling with for a long time, which were about to come out, healed faster, although they always take a long time to subside and disappear. The first Sunday of use, the breakouts actually intensified, but then the inflammation decreased. In the areas where I have sensitive skin around my nose and near my lips, it burned more than I would have liked, but that was mainly during the first week, and then everything returned to normal. Overall, this serum is great and is the number one choice for problematic skin. I use almost the entire range for problematic skin. I will write about the progress after a month of use.

The facial tone became lighter, but unfortunately it did not have any effect on pores and breakouts.

The serum is suitable for oily skin with breakouts. I only apply it at night and don't seal it with anything on top. In the morning, I use a daytime moisturizer with SPF 30+. For treatment, daily application is necessary. Once I notice results, I reduce the frequency to 2-3 times a week. It can dry out the skin, especially if you're not used to it, and may cause a slight burning sensation. In such cases, I wait for 1-2 days before using it again. Once the skin adapts, the product becomes a reliable companion in my beauty routine. Never apply it to the eye area, even if there are breakouts there. I'm 31 and have been using it for over a year. The amount used depends on how often you use it. I usually buy it from pharmacies, but I gave preference to makeup products because of a promotion. P.S. For post-acne spots and texture smoothing, the niacinamide from the same brand works better. However, the price for it is always astronomical. I haven't tried other niacinamides as I approach experiments with caution.

The product worked for the first 1.5 months of use, but after that, it stopped being effective.

This is a very good product that is suitable for my oily skin. I really like this skincare line from La Roche.

Great!!! It absolutely lives up to the stated characteristics. I have oily combination skin and it's a perfect find for me.

I bought this product at the pharmacy, but I would like to leave a review. I have oily and problematic skin. I didn't notice any "wow" effect on myself. I use it simply believing that it will help or at least not make it worse, because I already bought it and it would be a waste to throw it away. Also, other creams with acids cause a lot of burning sensation for me, while this serum practically doesn't. Additionally, Effaclar doesn't work well for me either. I won't buy it again, I'll look for something from a different brand.

I ordered another jar, and the results did not take long to appear. I bought it based on the recommendation of a dermatologist. It effectively reduces acne and heals scars from pimples, so the price really matches the quality of the product. Moreover, using this serum completely transforms my face. My skin looks brighter and smoother. Therefore, for those who are considering it, you can go ahead and buy it without any regrets.

I am satisfied with the result. I apply it before bedtime. This is already the second time I have bought the serum. Without it, my face looks completely different.

Good day, I have been using the serum for about a week and a half now, and it really started working after a week of use, just as the other girls mentioned in their reviews. My face feels smooth. I had some minor scars from chickenpox, and they have started to fade away. I think with a couple more weeks of use, they will completely disappear. I always make sure to apply SPF 50 sunscreen in the morning. Thank you.

I did not purchase it here, but based on the makeup reviews. Therefore, I will leave my own review. This is an amazing product that, with just two uses, made my skin perfectly smooth. The first time, my skin tingled a bit, for about half an hour. But this is probably because I applied the cream almost immediately. The next day, I didn't notice much of an effect. However, the second time, I waited for some time and then applied the cream, and voila, in the morning - perfectly smooth face. It also effectively reduces inflammation. I am shocked!! Ladies, the price is justified!

I have been ordering this product not for the first time and it works wonders for breakouts. Serious inflammations heal much faster and small ones completely disappear overnight. The only thing is, I use it not for my face, but for my body, specifically my shoulders and back, so it doesn't last very long. However, I continue to order it because it really helps.

This product is really great, I highly recommend it.

To be honest, I don't understand the rave reviews about this product... because I have used it several times and in all cases, the next day I had red spots on my face - where I applied the essence. I tried taking breaks, not using it, and even using SPF... but I wasted my money in vain.

Great, thank you so much!

Good day! I didn't rush to leave my review. I decided to use the serum for a long time to be confident in my feedback. Indeed, I had significantly fewer breakouts, my skin became fresher, and my skin tone evened out. There was a slight tingling sensation after application, but it only lasted a couple of minutes, and only during the first few days. The serum worked well for me, as I have oily and problematic skin. Thank you, Makeup, for the delivery!

This serum is excellent for oily and problematic skin, as well as for skin with breakouts. It should be used with caution, as it is very active and highly acidic, which may cause skin peeling. When using it, it is essential to use SPF. I highly recommend it! It is worth its price, unlike the moisturizing serum from La Roche.

The best serum I have ever used. It significantly reduces breakouts. It is not sticky. It immediately calms inflammation.

After using this product for two weeks, I did not see any visible results, except for an increase in breakouts. Therefore, I do not recommend it.

I have already gone through 4 or 5 jars of this product. I absolutely love this cosmetics line, especially the Effaclar range. The serum has worked wonders for me and has completely resolved my issues. It effectively reduces inflammation (if a pimple is just starting to form, it gets rid of it right away), evens out my skin tone, tightens, and genuinely improves the condition of my breakout-prone skin.

I have been using it for two weeks, but I haven't noticed any obvious changes.

Fast delivery, always the best price and expiration date. The best serum, it has been in my arsenal for four years already. I have oily and problematic skin. When needed, I apply it overnight and in the morning it gives me a nice even tone, perfectly combating skin imperfections. I also apply it on the décolleté area. It lasts for a year of use. Most of the products from this brand suit me well. But I particularly love their serums, I haven't found any better ones yet. I highly recommend it.

I have been using it for the second month, and the effect became noticeable after about three weeks. My skin has become very smooth and has acquired an even tone. The oiliness has decreased. However, it did not have any effect on black spots. In the first few days, a few small white pimples appeared on my face, but then there were none throughout the entire period of use. It is quite economical.

Absolutely no effect, 0.

I have been using it for 2 weeks now. I didn't think that in such a short time I would be able to see results, but it turned out that my skin started to glow in just 2 weeks. Truly, a subtle radiance appeared, my skin looked nourished, the tone of my face evened out a bit, and my skin became slightly brighter. I will gladly continue using this serum and hope that the results will be even better. I give it 5 stars.

I initially applied it on my skin and everything was fine, not better but not worse either. After some time of use, red spots started appearing on my skin after applying the serum, so I stopped using it. It didn't suit me.

Wonderful serum! I have been using it for 4 months based on the recommendation of my cosmetologist. I have oily skin that is prone to acne. After a month of regular use, I noticed truly impressive results. The breakouts and blackheads disappeared, and my skin tone became more even.

I am 35 years old with combination skin. I used this product in the morning and evening, followed by an SPF 30 at home and an SPF 50 from La Roche-Posay when outside. It lasted almost 2 months. There was no burning or stinging sensation. It is quickly absorbed and not greasy. Overall, my skin feels fresher, moisturized, and well taken care of. However, I can't say that it had any effect on the small blemishes on my face (I didn't see any peeling effect, but as a moisturizer, it's not bad).

I am writing this review because reviews helped me choose this product. About a year ago, during the winter, I suffered from worsened skin. I can't say it was perfect in other seasons or years, but it was terrible (I am attaching a photo). The serum is amazing, and within a day, my skin improved. However, the first few times I used it, my face became red (probably due to acids in the composition), but it went away after some time. So it's better not to use it an hour before leaving the house. After applying the serum, I used SPF (also from La Roche, as this skincare suited my skin and I don't want to risk using products from other brands). Additionally, I moisturized my skin with La Roche Cicaplast. There was a break of several months with no skincare routine, just occasional cream use. My diet was not very healthy, with sweets and snacks sometimes. Breakouts only appeared during the week when I consumed sushi/pizza and drank wine (it was a festive week). I bought the serum again, and everything disappeared after a short period of time (around 2 weeks). Now, I have also purchased the cleansing gel, of course, from La Roche. I used the blue one (200ml lasted for six months of daily use), but now I decided to try the green one. So, I think I will write a review about it later. Of course, I still have some acne because years of breakouts remind me of themselves, but it's enough to say that there were no such (or any) acne before spring 2023.

I have been using this serum for quite a while now, following the dermatologist's recommendation of applying it every other night as part of my comprehensive treatment. It truly evens out my skin tone and removes both closed and open comedones. Most importantly, it quickly lightens post-acne marks in just a few weeks (normally, it takes me several months for them to fade away). It only slightly lightens blackheads, but that is not significant as there are plenty of other products available for that. Without a doubt, I will be ordering more.

I didn't buy it here, but I will leave a review about the product. I got a chemical burn on my skin, and now I'm treating it. I don't recommend it.

Great serum, I've been using it for two weeks. I have combination skin, with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks. I spray thermal water and apply the serum, it stings a bit in some areas, but it moisturizes well. No breakouts and it doesn't dry out my skin.

This is a great product that I have been using for two months now, and the results are excellent. It does sting a little for about 10 minutes, but then it's fine. I use it in combination with a gel cleanser and a sebum-regulating mask. However, it's important not to leave the house without SPF cream, especially in sunny weather, as the skin becomes very sensitive after using this product.

I have been using this serum for only a week. I have to say, it hasn't gotten worse. It stings for a couple of seconds but quickly absorbs into the skin without leaving any stickiness. I use the entire line of this series and I really like it overall. I have never been disappointed with this brand. Even when I used a different line that wasn't quite suitable for my skin type, it still had an effect as if the products were adjusting. I also got a gift as part of a promotion, which was very nice. Thank you, make up.
