This is expensive for the amount you get, but it is well worth it. This has really helped me get a hold of my acne. It has helped to diminish new acne and has helped old acne scars disapear. The smell lingers a bit, but there's worse out there. This moisturizer also helps to keep your face matte all day long. I use this every night, along with the A.I. blemish treatment.
EDIT: This has stopped giving me the same result...I think my skin got use to it. Time to find something else.

Iam on my 2nd tube in 3 months and I slather this stuff day and night on my oily/combination skin. Again if you have read my other review on LRP Effclar my dermatologist raved about my skin condition. I have not tried Effclar AI but would love to find something more potent. My skin is getting drier in the winter and for the past 3 months the texture and pigment on my skin has improved greatly. If you do find something more potent than this (with Salicylic acid) please page me. For the time being I will continue to repurchase.

i have been using this proiducts as it help to unclog pores. But it tends to get alittle bid oily when over 3-4 hrs. i guess it acts as both moisturizeer and unclog pores. love it ... it really makes ur skin soft as promised also unclog ur pores.

I like this product a lot but not for the purposes that it is marketed for. Personally I wouldnt recommend this to prevent or clear blemishes. However, this is a great moisturizer base for those with problematic skin and hate to use moisturizers (like me!) This gel/creme instantly absorbed into the skin without any greasiness. This could be a moisturizer that clear pores!!!

I've been using Effaclar for 2 days and I can feel my skin completle changed...now it is smooth, healthy and with less shine! I'd only add a "SPF" and change the container for a big one!

the packaging is great b/c it doesn't suck any air back into the tube, this didn't work for me however, it's only 1.5% salicylic acid so it didn't do anything for me at all. i'm swapping this. too bad, i really like the whole LRP line.

Everytime I break out, this is the only thing I can count on. The price is quite cheap comparing to its quality.

i bought this in a desperate attempt to clear up my skin (before my graduation which hits in 2 days time) from breakouts caused by another moisturizer. i must say i've literally hit gold!!
having tried tons of other drugstore acne treatments, i can safely say this gives a steller performance in terms of living up to its promises. my cheek acne have disappeared, the cystic bumps on my chin just flattened out and healed within 3 days of using this on them, and other pimples heal faster too, even as it helps to lessen new breakouts. this product is really great when used together with the toleriane soothing protection fluid for combination to oily skins. my skin has never l0oked this great. both HG!
UPDATE: After half a tube, its magic failed.

A great, soothing, effective treatment. It keeps my skin clear and soft and I can wear it night or day. It's great under makeup or under other treatments. I wish the tube was bigger, but other than that I have zero complaints. Great stuff!

The BHA in this is mild compared to other stuff I've tried - so i didn't like it at first...but now i love how gently it works on my oily/sensitive/acne-prone skin. i have to say i'm a little less prone to irritation since going off my differin. it's not ideal for daywear for me, i live in humid singapore - and this has no oil-controlling properties...so i only use this at night. after about a week, my face looks clearer my pores are better and less breakouts.has helped my mild dehydration tremendously.

Excellent product. Its formulated for sensitive skin and i dont have sensitive skin and it worked wonders for me. It is a daily renewal fluid, but its an exceelent spot treatment to reduce pimples. It does reduce the redness and size of the pimple overnight. Use it more often for continued results. Its also very helpful in clearing out blicked pores. Remeber if use it alot you may feel a teeny bit dry, so use an non comedogenic mositurizer to moisturize. A bonus when you apply the product it absorbs in about 15 minutes so you dont see this white paste on your face..

Thi si a great product. This brand is especilly for intolerant sensitive skin. I don't have this skin type, but i am really happy with the results i acheived with this acne treatment. It wroked well and surprisingly it's only a 1.5 percent soncentration of salycylic acid. It's very good. just make sure not to use too stong of a cleanser and toner with it.

Love this. Like another reviewer, salicylic acid is the only thing that works for me. And this is a lovely product, nice strong formulation in a nice base. By "nice" I mean effective and not too smelly or greasy. A great product.

I buy this in France where it costs 9 Euros ( $12). Love the scent. I have acne-prone, oily skin and this works great for it. My skin is feeling smoother. It's a good cheap moisturizer.

I've tried a lot of stuff, but always come back to this. Salisylic acid works best on my acne-prone, oily skin and this stuff is great! Doesn't overdry at all and I love the texture, it absorbs right in! Helps prevent those little chin area breakouts. I use this and Persagel 10 to spot treat and they keep me breakout free!

I've been using Effaclar K for several months now and it never let me down. I hestitated to write a review but now I think it's time as I consider it my holy grail skincare, so here you go...
I have combo skin. Dry, dehydrated cheeks, oily t-zone, prone to spots (cystic as well), redness around nose and on chin due to a mild case of dermatitis perioralis and keratosis pilaris on my cheeks since I can think (for nearly 20 years, that is. Maybe even longer).
I was looking for a mild treatment that
a) helps with spots and breakouts
b) doesn't dry out my cheeks even more
c) at least doesn't aggrevate my kp and
d) at least doesn't make the redness worse.
This treatment DOES help with spots and breakouts (unfortunately it's not working as well for cystic acne though), it doesn't dry my skin while still controlling oil on my t-zone to some extend (I still have to blot though), doesn't aggrevate my redness (I do try to keep it away from that area though) AND keeps my kp at bay. It gives a nice glow and makes skin look healhty.
It comes in a metal squeeze tube. The nozzle's opening is tiny, so you don't waste anything and there's no need to worry about hygiene due to exposal to air.
I've nearly finished my second tube and I will repurchase forever. (Note that I've been using this for several months, and I'm still only on my second tube!)

This is a daily acne treatment for the whole face. I find that it takes care of problem spots as well as prevents new "outbreaks." It does not overdry like those teen-targeted products like Clearasil, Biore, and the like. It is not too greasy either - it is just right. This is okay but I prefer the concentrated targeted breakout corrector!
