Do not use - fragrance in it and burns sensitives

I tried to do as much research on this as possible but got it home and it has a fragrance. Why!! Why does it need a fragrance when it’s helping acne prone skin which is sensitive too. I love this brand but the need to put a fragrance in random serums or products is dangerous. This burnt my skin. Full stop. Do not recommend

Not recommend

Bought this one together with the EFFCLAR DUO Moisturiser to try to fix my blemish prone skin. It doesn’t work very well and makes my skin sensitive with small red dots.

Cleared scaring and imperfections

Literally LOVE! After a long and rough period of anxiety popping/picking at my face I was left feeling even more anxious at the sight and state of my skin. I have tired so many products from budget friendly to extremely expensive and it either didn’t work or my face would break out. I was so sceptical because I had literally lost all hope in finding the perfect product… but here I am three weeks using this serum and loving it.

Hi there, Thanks for your question! Effaclar serum is designed to be used alone or in conjunction with other products in our range. Start with cleanser and follow with Effaclar serum. For boosted anti-acne efficacy you may complete with Effaclar Duo (+) Anti-Acne Moisturiser, but we recommend you start by introducing it a 2-3 times a week to establish skin tolerance. Best wishes, La Roche-Posay AU/NZ

My skin got irritated

I have bought this product for my acne scars and to have better complexion and been using this for 2 weeks and the other day my face was started burning, and swelling around my eyes, itching and my face is so rough. I could not go out without face mask because my face is too swollen. I have been using any other lacroche posay products and this us the first time happened to me.

The best serum for prone acne skin

I am absolutely thrilled with this serum! To be honest, I've tried numerous products in the past, but none have had the transformative effect that this serum has. It truly works wonders. I've noticed a significant improvement in my skin, even during that time of the month when I typically experience breakouts. This serum has been a game-changer for me it's simply amazing!

Not for sensitive skin!

I have a sensitive skin so normally I only use toleriane range, but got a sample of this effaclar serum and decided to use it on my chin where I get blemishes. The moment I put it on, I felt a terrible burning sensation as if my chin was on fire. I washed it off straight away but the burning sensation stayed for a while! This certainly isn't a product for sensitive skin.

Drying

I am prone to breakouts around my chin and jaw area. I use other Effaclar products which work really well. This product unfortunately does my skin out a lot, mostly around my cheekbones and towards my eyes. It also caused a tingling sensation and redness on my cheeks when applied initially. I like the texture, and it seems to absorb well.

Reply from La Roche-Posay 29 June 2023

Hi Sarah, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to read of your skin’s response - it can be very individual. The Effaclar Serum formula includes multiple hydroxy-acids that work to renew and unclog the skin. This renewing effect can be intense for some skin types. If your skin is sensitive and dry, but also prone to acne, we suggest using the Effaclar Duo (+) as it is more hydrating whilst it still effectively targets pimples. If you still wish to continue with the serum, we recommend that you start by applying it once or twice a week to only the areas affected by acne and blocked pores to establish skin tolerance. However, if you are experiencing a persistent tingling or burning sensation, discontinue use immediately and please contact our Consumer Affairs division on 1300 101 411 (open 7am-5pm AEST, Mon to Sat). We hope this assists. Best wishes, La Roche-Posay AU/NZ

I love this serum. It is one of the best serum of all serum of the La Roche range. Not sticky, well absorbed. It leaves the skin soft the following day. You can layer it with sunblock and leaves not fluff or flakes.

Game changer

Love this stuff! For a nurse in her mid fifties with 40 years of breakouts this has been a game changer. Wearing N95 masks for 12 hours was making my skin so much worse so I started asking in nurses online forums how people were combatting “maskne” and this serum was popular. My skin is now the best it’s ever been, I’ve started using their other products too. Love love love.

Helped remove pimple but left mark

I got this product from a friend who didn’t use it & I had been wanting to try this brand for a while so i gave it go. I applied it on the affected areas , and while it did help remove the pimple i now have a dark spot from where i applied it. It’s like a chemical burn from it, im not sure if it was due to how I used it or if it’s just the product itself.

Skin changer

I have been using this product for a month now and what a game changer. I had acne breakout out of the blue, doctor prescribed antibiotics and I went to pharmacy and got this serum to speed up clearing up process. From terrible breakout to great skin in about 10 days. Before this breakout, I always had textured skin with small imperfections and now when I touch my face I can’t believe what this serum has done for me. My skin never looked and felt better! Acne gone, imperfections gone and skin tone drastically improved. Love it!!

Awesome Serum!

I am extremely happy with my recent purchase of the Effaclar Serum, my skin has cleared up so well and looks and feels beautiful. Would highly recommend this product for adult acne prone mature skin.

Good product

I have been using this product for about 3 weeks. I use it as part of my nighttime routine. It does tingle when applied but goes on smooth and absorbs fast. I would give this 5 stars but I really don’t like the smell- it reminds me of cleaning fluid.

Used for six weeks, little impact

I bought this a couple of months ago and used it as per the instructions for six week. It did make my skin texture a little better but did absolutely nothing to help with my acne.

Hi Becca, Thank you for your feedback. Acne can be a challenging condition and we do appreciate that it can take a bit of trial and error in combating it. For boosted anti-acne efficacy you may combine the serum with the Effaclar Duo (+) Anti-Acne Moisturiser. However, we recommend you start by introducing it a 2-3 times a week to establish skin tolerance. We recommend consulting with your dermatologist or healthcare professional for advice specific to your skin situation. They will be able to look at your routine in its entirety, and other lifestyle factors that can affect skin. We hope this helps. Best wishes, La Roche-Posay AU/NZ

Good quality product.

Great addition to my skin routine. Leaves a bit of a sticky feel, but given the other products I use dry my skin out a lot, I don’t mind it too much. I use it in particular areas sometimes instead of on the entire face, and it’s been good for that as well.

surprisingly actually worked

use every night and some mornings on my face, blemishes eased or were gone within a week or two. blackheads are still a work in progress around the chin area but its made a difference. have eased off on using the serum on top of cheeks (below eyes) as my skin there can be quite sensitive / redness and dry out easier then rest of my face but overall has improved my skin and pimple problem! i also use an 'ASAP' clenser before and a 'go-to' serum/ moisturiser to keep my skin from drying out.

My Skin has never been clearer.

This feels light, non-greasy, and leaves my skin feeling soft & supple. All my pimples are gone after a couple of weeks - even small bumps that I'd feel when washing my face Love this product!

Hi Jade, We're sorry to hear of your experience with the Effaclar Salicylic Acid Serum. Please note, the serum is formulated for acne-prone skin, and those concerned with wrinkles. As with introducing any active ingredient, it is often a good idea to introduce the serum slowly, using one or two nights a week and increasing usage frequency only once tolerated. Care should also be taken if combining with stimulating ingredients such as retinol. We hope this helps. Best wishes, La Roche-Posay AU/NZ

Magic in a bottle!!!

I struggled with hormonal acne since my early 20’s to now (mid 20’s). For the first time in ages I wake up acne free with 1 or two odd little breakouts. I will never use anything else, this serum has changed my life. I went from hiding indoors and covering with heaps of foundation, to going makeup free and blemish free! Let the before and after photos speak for themselves. Thank you for restoring my confidence and self love LRP!

Love it love it love it

I have been using the Effaclar serum for about 2 weeks now and I cannot believe how much my skin has improved. I am prone to acne breakouts as well as dry, flaky skin. I had tried every product under the sun but found that most moisturising masks and serums would just aggravate my pimples. The Effaclar serum worked instantly. My skin is so clear and hydrated. My pimples are gone. I am using in conjunction with the Effaclar Duo+ and my skin absolutely loves it. I am so happy with these products!

Works the best!!!!

Started seeing differences in my skin from the very first use. It is the only brand to which my sensitive skin didn't react to adversely. Definitely recommend this brand and product for sensitive and acne prone/ scarred skin.

not good for me

Never had breakouts, but with this, I have huge breakouts. Did not try anything else new during the time I tried this.

Hello, We're sorry to hear of your experience. Formulated to address acne and fine lines and wrinkles, the Effaclar Serum formula includes multiple hydroxy-acids that work to renew and unclog the skin. This renewing effect can be intense for some skin types. We therefore often recommend starting by applying it once or twice a week to establish skin tolerance. For further guidance, you are welcome to call our Consumer Affairs helpline on 1300 101 411 (open 7am-7pm AEST, Mon to Fri). We also recommend speaking to your healthcare professional or dermatologist for advice specific to your skin situation. We hope this helps. Best wishes, La Roche-Posay AU/NZ

Perfect really works

I got this for my daughter who was getting little bumps everywhere under her skin on her nose and forehead that sometimes would break out into pimples. After using it for a week they almost all disappeared. Some left on her forehead but not as noticeable or breaking out. I think it stopped her from developing bad acne.

Must buy

I bought this after reading the positive reviews regarding acne and scarring. After trying many other products over the years for hormonal acne I didn’t have high hopes this would be any different. I’m blown away by the results. In under two weeks my acne has pretty much cleared up and the scars are slowly fading also. I can’t recommend this enough for anyone struggling with acne.
