i have been using La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo 40ml for over 3 weeks now and to encapsulate this products in one word: Brilliant. I am in my early forties and madingly for the second time in my life have started having outbreaks. Frustratingly unlike the first time ( in my teen years ) I have dry skin and large pours. I saw this product on I website I subscribe to and because of it's reasonable price tag and description decided to give it a go! For almost the first time what was written on the 'tin' was true. My skin has totally cleared up (phew!) and the pours are definitely smaller and unplugged ( sorry too graphic?) but an added bonus is my skin looks fresh and plump. I love this product so much that I want to use it all the time and I only was planning to use it when my skin was 'playing up' then return to my other potions and lotions; of which there are many. Please try, I for one am amazed and an added bonus is that friends and family ignore me with rolled eyes when I complain about my skin saying I was born with beautiful skin - what short memories they have... :)
