    This works like magic for me, the best thing I have tried to far. I have oily skin and get a few pimples mainly on my cheeks. They usually are in the form of red bumps and they can get quite large,...

    I started using this when I was younger and first started breaking out. The lady at the drugstore recommended this and said it was a great product. So I purchased the whole skincare line, the...

    After introducing this into my skincare routine, I find it hard to live without. I bought Effaclar A.I. because I was experiencing very good results with other effaclar products (duo, gel cleanser,...

    It didn't work well, not with small, big, beginning to form pimples. Never had any irritation with it. I didn't like the aluminium tube, because it broke on the sides.

    This product is not a lifesaver, but it helps diminish small pimples and flattens them overnight. I use this to maintain my skin rather than get rid of big pimples. I use it in combination with...

    Good product , not a great one though. works very well on small pimples, makes them vanish overnight. But there is no effect on the big ones, especially hormonal acne. I wish it worked on them...

    Sometimes it helps after one application, but sometimes just nothing happen. But I totally love LRP Effaclar K, so both products actually have to work together.

    Great acne buster... HOWEVER, it does leave my skin a little raw after it's effects... like a bad patch of dry skin. I use quite a lot of this but feel that I should cut down so that my skin...

    This product gave me a bad rash in the spots where I applied it. Be careful if you have a sensitive skin because this product contains benzoyl peroxide.

    This helped reduce the size of my cystic acne and whiteheads. It dried out the whiteheads in 1-2 days and helped to exfoliate the dead skin cells away. It did not seem to cause new breakouts....
