Moisturizing & Mattifying Sebum Control Emulsion La Roche-Posay Effaclar MAT 40 ml

I have seborrheic dermatitis, and I bought this product based on the description, and I am very satisfied. There is a noticeable result after the first use. I am happy with it, and it is also convenient to apply makeup afterwards. Thank you, Makeup, for the gift. I will definitely order more.

Waste of money!!! After using this cream, I experienced breakouts and internal pimples. I absolutely do not recommend it.

Awful product. After just one day of use, I experienced irritation in my nasal passages that I have been unable to alleviate for several days now.

I consistently order this product as it suits my sensitive facial skin perfectly.

The only cream that suits me. I have combination skin at 40+, with pores in the T-zone, oiliness appearing in the middle of the day, and uneven skin tone. I apply it over a peptide serum, and when I use this cream, the foundation goes on very smoothly and imperceptibly. My face doesn't get oily for almost the entire day! It evens out my skin tone and makes my pores less noticeable. I keep coming back to this cream. Unfortunately, I've tried other creams, more expensive ones and ones made in Ukraine. This cream is the solution to all my problems. I will be ordering it for the 6th time. I use it at night, either with effaclar duo+ or with Vichy collagen cream.

I didn't like it, it doesn't mattify.

My favorite daily care for many years. First of all, this cream completely mattifies and evens out the skin tone, allowing me personally to avoid using additional makeup, while also providing good moisturization. Long-term use has significantly minimized my pores. I highly recommend it, especially for those with oily or combination skin, or anyone who wants to achieve a matte skin effect without makeup.

I have oily skin, so my main requirement was for a mattifying effect, but it only lasts for about half an hour (maybe it will be different in another season).

Apart from that, everything is great - it feels pleasant on the skin (no tightness or "film" sensation), absorbs quickly, moisturizes, and has a pleasant scent.

I have already written a comment, but the longer I use this cream, the more impressed I am with it! It's a love that will last for years.

The cream is not bad. I have oily skin, so my main concern was mattifying. After applying the cream, my skin doesn't get as oily as quickly, but it's not anything fantastic, the oily shine still persists.

The product has a lightweight texture and provides good moisturization. However, it doesn't leave the skin with a greasy shine for a considerable amount of time. It works effectively throughout the day, and the effects are satisfactory.

Great cream. It mattifies the skin well, but only for a short time. I mostly use it at night with toner and serum, and in the morning, my skin feels silky. It eliminates breakouts and doesn't cause new ones.

The cream applies smoothly and doesn't roll off (I apply a pea-sized amount on my cheeks and chin, and a small amount on my forehead and nose). The foundation applies well and leaves the skin feeling soft to the touch.

I purchased this cream with the hope of getting rid of the shine on my face caused by the same brand's sunscreen. I thought it would moisturize and provide sun protection, but unfortunately, it did not work out. My skin did not respond well to it; it became irritated and dry.

I am incredibly satisfied with this product. It moisturizes wonderfully without leaving a film on the face; instead, it quickly absorbs. And it truly mattifies the skin. A pleasant scent is also a plus. I highly recommend it.

Great cream. It did its job perfectly. For my problematic and oily skin, especially in hot weather, it's a savior.

The cream pleasantly surprised me. It goes perfectly with La Roche cleansing foam.

I have mixed feelings about this cream. It does indeed mattify for approximately 6 hours. However, it tends to roll off easily and unfortunately, it caused me to develop under-the-skin pimples. That's disappointing. On the bright side, the scent of the cream is pleasant and it does fulfill its claimed function.

The product worked perfectly for me. I use it in combination with the Effaclar cleansing gel-mousse and lotion from the same series. I have sensitive, moderately problematic oily skin. The mattifying effect is +/-, but as a product specifically for problematic skin, it is excellent. The skin looks cleaner (the effect is clearly not the same as just using "cleansers"). It also serves as a good base for foundation. For those who claim it rolls off, maybe they just need to use less of it. It lasts me for 3-4 months.

I used it for 4 months, but I won't buy it again. Even on thoroughly cleansed skin, it rolls off, not as much as if you apply it over a cream, but still. If you apply it, do it without any cream underneath, just the emulsion. It mattifies well and did the job. I have oily skin type.

I really liked this cream. It truly mattifies, and it lasts throughout the whole day. I highly recommend it for those with oily skin and enlarged pores!

The best product I have ever used on my face! Usually, about 3 hours after washing my face, it starts to shine as if it has been greased, but thanks to this miraculous product, only a subtle glow is visible towards the evening. I really liked it! I ordered it here and will definitely order more in the future.

Unfortunately, this product did not work for combination skin at all. It feels like a film on the skin and then simply rolls off. It clogs pores after just 3 uses. It's a shame, but it's a waste of money.

This cream deserves all 5 stars, as it worked perfectly for my combination skin, moisturizing it without leaving any greasy shine and absorbing quickly. It even managed to significantly dry out breakouts overnight. I use the Effaclar gel cleanser, pore minimizing lotion, this cream, and the thermal water, all from La-Roche Posay.

The Effaclar cleanser was not suitable for me. However, the spot cream and the mattifying cream did not work for me either. My face shines as if I'm using very cheap creams. I will give the micellar water a try.

I bought this product at the pharmacy and relied on the reviews here. I was skeptical, but I took a chance and I don't regret it. Usually, I don't believe in the properties of cosmetic products like reducing breakouts and calming inflammation, but this one is truly a miracle.

I have combination skin with an oily T-zone. My forehead and the area around my nose get shiny within an hour of applying makeup. Not only does this product perfectly mattify and leave a velvety feeling on my skin all day, but it also miraculously calmed down four pimples on my forehead that had been red and inflamed for two weeks without knowing what they wanted. In just one day of using it (morning and evening), the inflammation subsided. After two days of use, everything dried up and only a few spots remained. I didn't expect such results and I'm worried that I might become dependent on it and the product will stop working.

I would appreciate it if the brand representative could advise me on which cream to use for the rest of my face, which is drier (I don't apply this product there), and recommend a nighttime skincare routine for my skin type.

Ladies, I definitely recommend this product.

A worthy mattifying cream. This cream is super for my skin! The texture is slightly oily, but I really like it for skin with slightly enlarged pores!

This is an excellent product that saved me from oily skin in the T-zone (which also dirtied my bangs). It doesn't burn or sting, and it's completely invisible on the skin. I have combination skin and it works perfectly for me. It's worth the money and I will definitely buy it again. It's also my favorite duo + ❤.

The mattifying effect lasts for about 5 minutes and slightly dries out the skin.

This is terrible! I did not expect such an effect. My face burns horribly after using it, and it started turning red, as if I had smeared red pepper on it.
I also experienced unpleasant sensations after using the micellar water from the same series: it feels like it is touching my face, especially when I started removing mascara from my lashes.
As for the claimed moisturizing effect, let's not even talk about it.
Even after washing it off, it continued to burn for a while.
P.S. A dermatologist prescribed all of this to me, so it's supposed to be suitable for my skin type.
Don't ruin your face. I definitely do not recommend it.

The product effectively mattifies the skin, but only temporarily. After the first use, breakouts appeared. I thought it was a coincidence, but after trying it a few more times, it was confirmed. I recommend consulting with a cosmetologist before purchasing it yourself.

Good day.
I have oily skin. I have been testing this product for almost 2 weeks. My skin starts to shine after washing/applying cosmetics/using mattifying wipes after just an hour. This cream extends that period, but not for long, maximum 3 hours.
As for the texture of the cream - it's very pleasant, easy to apply, and feels nice on the skin.
The scent is light.
I use it in the morning, before applying makeup, and it doesn't roll off if given 5-10 minutes to absorb.
It's too early to judge the long-term effects, to understand if the product works or not, at least a month is needed.
I can't blame the cream for the formation of new breakouts, during this period I had some small pimples, but we must not forget about factors like nutrition, skin type, menstrual cycle, etc.
Overall, I rate the cream 5 - it didn't cause any problems, and time will show if it can solve existing issues.

The photos were taken 24 hours after starting to use the product, so the next day. My face broke out after just one application, in places and in a way that has never happened before! I have combination skin and I am 35 years old. The mattifying effect lasted only 1 hour on my skin.

I won't criticize this product, it simply didn't work for me. Before this, I used DUO+ for a year and had no complaints. Yes, it's a shame to have wasted money, but there is no other way than to buy and try different products. (I bought the cream at a pharmacy).

Not "wow," but very good! It mattifies and leaves the skin soft and moisturized without any shine. As a base, it's fine, it slightly minimizes the appearance of pores without clogging them. However, it doesn't provide a completely matte finish for the whole day.

I have been using this product for two weeks now and I can confidently say that it is excellent. It definitely provides great hydration for the skin and even helps to even out the skin tone. After two weeks of use, I have noticed a decrease in irritations and breakouts. The texture and scent are very pleasant. I use it in conjunction with the cleanser from the same manufacturer.

I bought it for the first time at the pharmacy and I don't regret it. I have oily and problematic skin. The emulsion absorbs well, mattifies, moisturizes, and doesn't leave a greasy shine. I am satisfied!

It only mattifies for about an hour, and it seems like it actually makes my pimples worse. I wasn't expecting a miracle solution for breakouts, but at least it could have prevented new ones from appearing... Overall, this product disappointed me, and its price is the final nail in the coffin - I definitely won't buy it again.

I have been using this product multiple times. It effectively mattifies my oily skin, and during winter, the effect lasts for about 3-4 hours. The cream is pleasant to use, but it does not prevent breakouts.

I bought this cream for the summer, and it works very well for combination skin. However, during the winter, it doesn't provide enough moisture for my skin. In the winter, my skin becomes dry, and I noticed flakiness appearing on my cheeks.

I am very dissatisfied with this product. I bought it at a pharmacy. After application, my skin burns a lot. When I wear a protective mask, it feels like fire. And I don't have sensitive skin.
Plus, the face cream "clumps up" and it's impossible to use powder on top of the applied cream because it forms "clumps".

Excellent emulsion for combination skin. I have repeatedly used it.

I really liked this cream. It works well as a makeup base, although I didn't buy it for that purpose. I bought it to solve the problem of oily shine since I have oily skin. In the first few days of using the cream, I noticed that there was still some oily shine throughout the day. However, with each application, my sebaceous glands became less active compared to when I didn't use this cream. I have been using it every day for 10 days now and I am satisfied with it.

I purchased this cream at the pharmacy. My skin tends to be oily, and when I apply it, my face feels a burning sensation in certain areas. Additionally, the cream tends to roll off my skin, making it impossible to apply foundation or any other products. Whether I use it with foundation or without, everything just rolls off.

I have been using the entire Effaclar facial care series and I am satisfied with the results. This cream is perfect for daytime use as it provides a matte finish and reduces pores. Just a small amount is needed and it leaves the face feeling fresh and well-nourished. I highly recommend it!

I have bought this product before, specifically for makeup, and everything is great. The expiration date is 03.2023, and the quality is excellent.

At first, I didn't like it. The skin was unprepared after a course of acid peels, so it stung and caused redness in some areas. I contacted La Roche-Posay dermatologists, and they explained the reason. I have oily skin. If used after a good cleanse+neutral toner, it applies perfectly. You don't need to use a lot, just a pea-sized amount is enough for the entire face. After toner, make sure to wait 10 minutes, then the cream absorbs without a trace, mattifies well, and works great as a base for makeup (wait at least 10 minutes before applying foundation). Non-comedogenic, lightweight, an excellent choice for summer!

A lightweight cream for summer that absorbs quickly without causing makeup to slide off. It works beautifully for oily skin.

I have been searching for a cream like this for a long time. I apply it before my makeup and it perfectly mattifies my skin. The effect lasts all day. I am 100% satisfied with this cream.

I didn't understand at all what it does.

For the first time in my life, I am writing a review about anything. I usually just read them, but maybe this review about the cream will be useful to someone. So, let's talk about the cream. I have combination skin that is prone to breakouts and constant oily shine in the T-zone. I bought this cream based solely on reviews and used it for two weeks, but there was absolutely no effect. I was terribly disappointed and went back to using Effaclar Duo +. However, my cosmetologist advised me to use this cream at night. To my surprise, the results were incredible. After a few days of applying the cream before bed, there was no oily shine when I woke up. During the day, I use Effaclar N cleanser, soothing toner, and SPF50 fluid, and the results are not just noticeable, but very noticeable. My skin tone has improved, breakouts have disappeared, and there is no trace of oily shine. Ladies, my advice to you is to visit cosmetologists, listen to their advice, avoid using harsh products, and you will be satisfied with the results.
