Ultra Concentrated Face Serum La Roche-Posay Effaclar Serum

I bought this product for the first time based on the recommendation of a cosmetologist. I must 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 when I opened the bottle, the glass started to crack on the threads. The threads turned into tiny cracks. I used it very carefully because it was already damaged.

For the price, this product is very poor quality!

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

This is a wonderful product that you can feel its effect right after the first application! It's amazing! I am very satisfied! Thank you!

I am constantly testing something new, but the best serums are from La Roche. Recently, I've been experiencing a lot of breakouts and nothing has been helping. However, since using this serum, I haven't had a single new pimple and my skin looks much healthier and more radiant. I use it in combination with the cicaplast baume B5 restoring cream from La Roche (which is another favorite of mine - it rescues dry and irritated skin and evens out the tone) because the serum is concentrated and works like a peel. The cream helps to restore the skin and together, I have a fantastic effect. There is also a great serum from La Roche B5, which had an effect from the first use. I want to go back to it as soon as I fully solve my acne problem. 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 "at a discount", but now it's priced at 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 minimizes pores, dries out pimples, reduces redness and inflammation. I am completely satisfied with it!

I don't care anymore. 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 even has time to heal, the next one comes out, and it's even a subcutaneous one that you can't just squeeze out. I use Effaclar Duo on top and spot apply Effaclar, but it doesn't do anything. And the cleansing gel from this line too. With Effaclar, the one that should be spot applied, it seems like the pimples ripen 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 one from all the La Roche products 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 miniatures of the cream as a gift. 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. Even the scents are pleasing, 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 yourselves and your loved ones.

I have purchased it twice. I cannot say anything bad about it, but I also didn't notice any results.

This product is excellent for reducing redness and irritation.

This serum is wonderful. It helped to improve 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, and it greatly dried out my skin, even though it is already problematic and prone to oiliness. The only positive aspect was that it initially reduced inflammation of new pimples.

I have been using this product for a month now and I have formed my impression, so I can leave a review. I have a problem area under my chin. In the first week of use, the amount of breakouts there increased, but the other areas of my face started looking much better. The pores became smaller, the skin became softer to touch, and the color became more even. After a month of use, the pimples in the problem areas did decrease, but they are still present. I have also 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 with breakouts. After two weeks of use, my skin has become cleaner and the internal pimples, which I have been struggling with for a long time, heal faster, although they always remain inflamed for a long time and do not disappear. In the first week of use, the breakouts actually intensified, but then the inflammation decreased. In the areas where my skin is sensitive, such as around my nose and lips, it burned more than desired, but this was mainly during the first week, and then everything returned to normal. Overall, this serum is amazing and is the number one choice for problematic skin. I use almost the entire range for problematic skin. I will write about the results after a month of use.

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

This serum is suitable for oily skin with breakouts. I only apply it at night and don't seal it with anything. In the morning, I follow up with a daytime moisturizer with SPF 30+. For treatment, daily application is necessary. Once I notice results, I reduce usage to 2-3 times a week. It can be drying for the skin, especially in the beginning, it may cause a slight burning sensation. In such cases, I take a break for 1-2 days before using it again. Once the skin adapts, this product becomes a reliable companion in my beauty routine. Never apply it around the eye area, even if there are breakouts there.

I am 31 years old and have been using it for over a year. The amount used depends on how often it is applied. I mostly purchase it from pharmacies, but I recently tried buying it from a makeup store due to a promotion.

P.S. For post-acne spots and texture evening, I find that the brand's niacinamide works better. However, its price is always sky-high. I haven't tried other niacinamides as I am cautious about experimenting.

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

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

Awesome!!! It completely lives up to the stated specifications. I have oily combination skin and it is a godsend for me.

I bought this product from a pharmacy, but I would like to leave a review. I have oily and problematic skin. I did not notice any "wow" effect on myself. I use it simply hoping that it will help or at least not make things worse, since I have already bought it and it would be a waste to throw it away. Additionally, other creams with acids tend to sting my skin, but this serum hardly does. Also, Effaclar doesn't really do the job for me. I will not purchase it again and will look for something from a different brand.

I ordered another jar, and the results were not long in coming. 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 becomes brighter and more delicate. Therefore, for those who are considering it, you can go ahead and buy it, you won't regret it.

I am satisfied with the result. I apply it before going to bed. I have bought the serum for the second time now. Without it, my face looks completely different.

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

I didn't buy it here, but based on the makeup reviews, so I'll leave my own.

This is a super product that, with just two applications, made my skin perfectly smooth.

The first time, my skin tingled a little for about half an hour. But that was 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 a while and then applied the cream, and voila - perfectly smooth face in the morning. It also effectively reduces inflammation. I'm shocked!! Ladies, the price is justified!

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

This product is really cool, I highly recommend it.

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

Excellent, thank you so much!

Good day!
To leave my review, I didn't rush.
I decided to use the serum for a long time to be confident in my review.
Indeed, there were much fewer breakouts, my skin became fresher, and the skin tone became more even.
After applying, it tingled a little, but only for a couple of minutes, and only in the first few days.
The serum suited me by 💯 %. I have oily and problematic skin.
Thank you, makeup, for the delivery!

The serum is excellent for oily and problematic skin, as well as skin with breakouts. It should be used with caution, as it is very potent and highly acidic, which may cause skin peeling. It is necessary to use SPF when using this product. I highly recommend it! It is worth the money, unlike the moisturizing serum from La Roche.

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

I didn't notice any results after using it for 2 weeks, except that I experienced more breakouts. I do not recommend it.

I have already gone through 4 or 5 jars of this product. I absolutely adore this cosmetics line, especially the Effaclar range. The serum has been a perfect fit for me and has effectively addressed my skin concerns. It reduces existing inflammations (if a pimple is just starting to appear, it eliminates it at the very beginning), evens out the skin tone, tightens, and truly improves the condition of my breakout-prone skin.

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

Fast delivery, always the best price and shelf life. The best serum, it has been in my arsenal for the fourth year. 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 to the décolletage area. It lasts for a year of use. Almost everything from this brand's line suits me, but I especially like their serums, I haven't found any better ones. I recommend it.

I have been using it for the second month now, and the noticeable effect appeared after approximately 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. For the first four days or so, small white pimples would appear on my face, but then there were none throughout the entire period of use. It is quite economical.

Absolutely no effect, 0.

This product had absolutely no effect whatsoever. It was completely ineffective and did not deliver any results. I was extremely disappointed with its performance. Despite high expectations, it failed to provide any noticeable benefits or improvements. I tried using it as directed, but it simply did not work. It was a complete waste of time and money. I would not recommend this product to anyone seeking real and tangible results.

I have been using it for 2 weeks. I didn't think that in such a short time I would be able to see results, but it so happened that my skin started glowing in 2 weeks. Indeed, a light radiance appeared, my skin started looking nourished, the tone of my face became slightly more even, 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. However, after some time of use, red spots started appearing on my skin right after applying the serum. I had to stop using it. It did not suit me.

Great serum! I've been using it for 4 months now, following my cosmetologist's recommendation. I have oily skin that is prone to acne. After a month of regular use, I saw amazing results - breakouts and blackheads disappeared, and my skin tone became even!

I am 35 years old with combination skin. I used this product in the morning and evening, followed by SPF 30 at home and SPF 50 from La Roche-Posay when outside. It lasted almost 2 months. There was no burning sensation or tingling at all. It is easily absorbed and does not feel greasy or clump. Overall, my skin feels fresher, more moisturized, and well taken care of. However, I cannot say that it had any effect on the small blemishes on my face (and I did not notice any peeling effect either). As a moisturizer, it is not a bad product.

I am writing a review because reviews helped me choose this product. About a year ago, during the winter period, I suffered from skin deterioration. I can't say that it was perfect in other seasons and years, but it was terrible (see attached photo). The serum is amazing, and within a day, my skin looks better. However, the first few times I used it, my face turned red (probably due to acids in the formula), but it went away after some time, so it's better not to use it an hour before going out. Afterwards, I applied SPF (also from La Roche, because this skincare worked well for my skin and I don't want to risk using products from other brands) and additionally moisturized my skin with La Roche Cicaplast. I took a break for a few months without any skincare routine, just occasionally using cream and not having the healthiest diet with sweets and snacks. Breakouts only appeared during a week when I consumed sushi/pizza and washed it down with 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 also bought the cleansing gel, also from La Roche, in the blue version (200ml lasted for half a year 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, there are still acne breakouts because years of breakouts leave their mark, but it's enough to know that before spring 2023, there were no such (or any) acne.

I have been using this serum for a while now, following the recommended schedule of applying it every other day at night, as advised by my dermatologist, along with other systemic treatments. It truly evens out the skin tone and eliminates 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). It only slightly lightens blackheads, but that is not significant since there are plenty of other products available for treating them. 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, now I'm treating it and it's red. 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, and although it stings a bit in some areas, it moisturizes well and doesn't cause any breakouts or dryness.

Great product, I've been using it for two months and the results are fantastic. It stings a little for about 10 minutes, but then it's fine. I use it together with a gel-foam and a sebum-regulating mask. Just remember not to leave the house without a cream with SPF, especially in sunny weather, because the skin becomes very sensitive after using this product.

I have been using this serum for only a week. I must 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 adjusted themselves. I got it as part of a promotion with a gift, which was very nice. Thank you, make up.
