Coming to you from the future I do apologise for the terrible photo quality I was a student who was super busy!
I have been a huge fan of the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo for over half a year now and decided to venture out and try more of their skincare range for oily to combination skin because the Duo did such great things to my skin!
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo
This has been a firm favourite of mine and I am shocked I haven't talked about it sooner. It is definitely a miracle worker for fixing those problematic skin types, whether that is redness, blemishes or just looking dull and having no radiance. I find applying this on redness and blemishes reduces the colour and size dramatically. On those 'no-makeup lazy days' at home I tend to apply this in the morning and by the evening my face looks a lot healthier. It does definitely help clear up your problems on your skin! I would highly recommend this to anyone - also being an oily prone skin type I find using this before applying moisturizer and make-up keeps my oil at bay for a little while longer.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser
What a mouthful to type out! I have had my eye on this cleanser for quite a while, I was a bit skeptical about it being a foam gel cleanser as I much prefer the cream consistency's but, nonetheless I went for it. What I like about this gel is it smells refreshing I love refreshing, organic scents to cleansers it makes it feel more natural on my skin. After rubbing this onto my face for a minute or so when I patted my face dry I noticed after the first time using it not much difference. But, after a couple more times I had noticed this product reduced redness a lot! and you know when your face feels and looks dirty but it isn't? well, this product fixed me feeling dull. Definitely give this a go if you have oily prone skin, I have noticed my skin is a lot more tighter and even sometimes dry! my make-up seems to look a lot more less oily too! so this definitely has helped at keeping oil at bay.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Moisturizer
I have been on the lookout for a new moisturizer for oily skin for what feels like forever. Santa kindly popped this into my stocking. I love the texture of this moisturiser, almost a creamy consistency. However, it does leave my face with a white cast look so, unfortunately, that was a downside. It does, however, help keep oil at bay especially on those long days at uni when I don't have time to touch-up.
Have you tried any La Roche-Posay products?
Thank you for this review, great timing as I am just coming to the end of my effaclar K and was undecided whether to repurchase or try the effaclar duo so was great to read.

ReplyDeleteaw that's too bad hope it goes away soon!x
DeleteI already want Effaclar Duo (Dup+) but now you've tempted me with the purifying gel wash!
ReplyDeleteI have redness and sensitivity and I hate how much it shoes through my foundation. These products would be perfect, definitely on the wishlist!
