My holy grail

I have been using this on/off for ~7 years, I keep coming back to it! One of the only moisturisers that helps keep skin looking fresh, bright and clear. A lot of moisturisers cause acne and congestion for me. In winter or when my skin needs a little more TLC, i will cycle between this and a richer moisturiser every second night! Please never change this formula! For context i have SENSITIVE (eczema), acne prone (with cystic and forehead acne flares) skin.

HOLY GRAIL for OILY SKIN!! BUY!!!!!

Holy Grail for Oily Skin – BUY IT!!! I originally bought this moisturiser (Effaclar Mat +.. not sure if there’s any difference between the two) because my usual one from Avène (mattifying) was sold out. From the very first day I used it, my skin has never felt more mattified. I have EXTREMLYYY OILY skin, I’m constantly glistening, needing to wipe and wipe throughout the day just to feel/look semi-normal, I’m literally dripping in oil every single day. BUT with this moisturiser, it’s a total game changer. For the first time, I can leave the house and go about my day without coming home looking like a greaseball. By the end of the day, my skin just looks naturally dewy and not DRENCHED in oil. It’s HONESLTY become my holy grail. I’ve also picked up the Effaclar + M Purifying, the Effaclar Anti-Acne Purifying Clay Mask, and the Effaclar Anti-Acne Salicylic Acid Serum, and I truly believe this combo has worked wonders, especially in reducing oil and keeping breakouts in check. The ONLY downside is the size, it’s a bit pricey for the amount you get, and I really wish they offered a larger version. That said, a little does go a long way, so it’s still worth it. Highly, HIGHLYYYY recommend to anyone with oily skin!

Delays in shipping

I ordered some items on Black Friday and while the order was taken and items are ready to ship as per my account, they are still not shipped. An email had come through to say that there were delays and they would ship my items through in the next couple of days and that has now passed. No shipment. I have not received my items yet and not sure if I will receive them before Christmas. This is poor service in my opinion.

6 STARS if comes in a BIGGER size

I have been using this product for over a year, it works wonderful with my skin - oily type. The cream dries out (more like it absorbs) very quickly, feels very light and not so sticky. The and only downside is that the cream is way too small for everyday use, so what I do now is I would use a different moisturiser (other brands) in the morning and use only this product during night time.

works great, but i prefer the old formula

i remember using this product about 2 years ago and it was amazing, i had extreme oil in my tzone as well as PIE. Until about a year to half a year ago, i went to repurchase at a nearby pharmacy and realized the texture was different from the one i used before. Honestly, i kind of liked the old formula better the current one seem to have a more shiny finish it feels greasy in tropical countries, it’d be great if there would still be the old formula in sale 😭🫶🏻🫶🏻 but anyway it still works great🔥🔥 keep slaying all roche posay

Must have product

I brought this for my teenage daughter along with other skin care products from the range & it’s made such a difference for her skin. She no longer has redness and irritation on her face & loves this moisturiser doesn’t leave her face looking greasy or shiny. This has now become one of her favourite products that she happily uses every day

It works, but stings

This product really stung my face around my dry areas. I have oily T zone so thought this product would work but it hurt my drier areas

Part of my daily beauty ritual

Ive been using this mat moisturiser for about 1 month and i really do think its great stuff. I have oily skin and never bothered with moisturizing my face and now I use Effaclar twice a day. Its true mat finish even works over the serums I use. My one complaint is that it comes in such a small bottle.

Worth it!

Wonderful product! Thin enough for oily skin. When I put it on, my skin immediately felt more hydrated and as of yet it has not caused any breakouts. The smell is a bit strong but manageable and doesn’t linger

Broke out wherever I used this moisturiser

On the completion of my last moisturizer I thought I'd give effaclar mat anti-acne moisturizer a go specifically for my forehead. Having had success with other La Roche Posay products on my dry/sensitive skin on my cheeks I wanted something different for my oily forehead. After using for two days my forehead had several angry pimples and the skin is sensitive and stinging. Prior to use, my forehead was not a breakout zone - my only complaint was oiliness. I will be returning this product asap.

Pleasantly surprised!

I bought this product whilst on holidays in Vancouver and seeing Effaclar products more readily available than Australia. Whilst on hols, I noticed my pores were quite large and I wasn't 100% happy with my appearance. I tried it on a whim in conjunction with my The Ordinary skin products. I have since come home to Melbourne and after a week of using Effaclar Mat with my other products my pores are noticeably smaller and I'm just happy in general! I love the Effaclar range!

Just wow.

I’ve struggled for years to find a product suitable for my skin to wear everyday especially under make up. I am OBSESSED!! So comfortable matte finish. Non tingyling or itchy. Please never discontinue it. I’ve gotten everyone on to this?
