Just ordered my 3rd one of these, got it for ten pound from escentual.com rather than boots at £15, I had acne scars and do feel like this has helped to minimize them and have been using it for...

I'm about a week into using this, and so far I'm amazed by the results! Waking up the second day of using it, I had no new acne and I saw a small change in the amount of redness on my cheeks. A few...

I have mixed feelings about this product. When I first bought it I was amazed by almost everything. The packaging which is simple and hygienic, the scent (it reminds me of fresh-cut roses), the...

I got this product as a sample from an advisor at a Boots beauty counter: I was looking for a moisturiser for my acne prone skin and she suggested a treatment. I had previously purchased the...

After hearing so many good reviews, I decided to give this product a try. The texture is really nice and is absorbed quickly into the skin. It leaves a matte, almost tight feeling which has really...

First of all, I find this too drying if I were to apply this all over my face, as per recommended. I have combination / normal skin, and have extremely reactive / sensitive skin so my first time...

This stuff is amazing at clearing up breakouts, including the cystic kind - it's powerful stuff, but doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and isn't excessively drying. It's expensive but you only...

I bought it last week with $20 ( in Vietnam from a shipping store from France) It was quite inexpensive since the tube is quite big and I only used a small amount of it everyday. I heard from...

Does it work? For me, Yes! Let's take the claims one by one. " It reduces the appearance of blemishes". Well it does take down the redness in my skin, so we can check that. "Unclogs pores" I...

I bought this for my daughter, who had been battling some acne near her hairline. We had tried many other drugstore brands, including Neutrogena, but they often left the skin very dry, which left...

Very nice product, perfect for sensitive skin as it is not harsh like other acne products. But you have to stick with it in order to see results (especially if you expect to see fading acne marks)....

This product caused me to break out when I didn't have acne, and did nothing for my pores that I wanted to be cleared when using this. Doesn't moisturize yet leaves the face looking shiny and oily...

I'm struggling with perimenopausal breakouts and thought this would help as its meant to help with reducing spots, clear pores and help with shine breakthrough. However, I can honestly say it...

The first time I used Effaclar Duo I stopped using it because it not only made my face peely and dry, but bright red too. It stopped the acne, but bright red and peeling isn't better than acne! Now...

This stuff is OK. I do not suffer from acne, or spots as such. But I do have clogged, evident pores and I suffer from old acne scars with very red skin. Very red. I do not feel like this...

I've always had trouble with my skin - I'm never without a few spots. I got a free sample of this to try and tried it but it gave me a rash of tiny little spots wherever I put it. It was good on my...
