It's worth considering if you're looking for an effective and gentle solution to manage breakouts and improve your complexion.

Over time, it did help in reducing the appearance of acne spots and keeping breakouts at bay, which was a definite improvement for my skin. What I particularly appreciated was its gentle approach to acne treatment. It didn't cause excessive dryness or irritation, which can be a common issue with acne treatments. This made it more suitable for sensitive skin types, and I found that my skin tolerated it well. The product's packaging and design are also quite user-friendly, with a convenient applicator that allowed for precise spot treatment. However, while it did help reduce some of my acne spots over time, the progress was slower than I expected. I was hoping for a quicker and more visible improvement.

Additionally, the texture of the product can feel a bit heavy on the skin, which was uncomfortable at times. It didn't blend in as seamlessly as I had hoped, and it left a somewhat noticeable residue. This made it less ideal for daytime use, and I had to limit it to nighttime application.

GLASS. SKIN.

THIS STUFF. i recommend this to every person ever who is struggling with acne. i first started using the LRP salicylic acid face wash to cleanse my face and that was huge in clearing up my cystic acne. but fungal acne has been killer for me for so long and all the recommendations i would try, dandruff shampoo, toners, other washes, flared my cystic acne. THIS STUFF WORKS ON EVERYTHING. i mean when i first got it i put it on like a cream on my entire face. (avoid under eyes ALWAYS) but it lightens scarring, gets rid of pimples in just a few days, it’s a miracle in a tube and i know it’s pricey but i would open a new credit card to purchase this stuff. the proof is in the pictures. it’s obvious what’s before and after. 3 months of use. it is very drying, especially ... MoreTHIS STUFF. i recommend this to every person ever who is struggling with acne. i first started using the LRP salicylic acid face wash to cleanse my face and that was huge in clearing up my cystic acne. but fungal acne has been killer for me for so long and all the recommendations i would try, dandruff shampoo, toners, other washes, flared my cystic acne.

Horrible allergic reaction lasting days

I am a 34-year-old woman who loves learning about and trying out different skincare products. I have been using different types of La Roche Posay moisturizers for a long time so when I saw this product trending on social media I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be a huge mistake and I am still dealing with the worst allergic reaction of my entire life.I patch tested on my wrist first and then followed the instructions and wore sun protection. About 12 hours after applying, I got a horrible allergic reaction to the point that my face was so swollen and I could barely open my eyes. I had to go to urgent care and get steroid injection and oral steroid. Two days later, my face is still swollen, throbbing, and itchy. I have no known allergies and I have never ... MoreI am a 34-year-old woman who loves learning about and trying out different skincare products.

New Holy Grail

I recently started seeing an esthetician after a friend gifted me a custom facial for Christmas. During the facial we talked about my skin (hormonal and cystic acne mostly around my mouth. Dry/combo) and she recommended I get a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment to use ONLY when I'm having an active blemish. She named this one - so naturally I took her rec literally and purchased it. I love it. It will take care of the severity and redness of my hormonal and cystic break outs over night. It's been a life saver. HOWEVER, this is a strong ingredient. It WILL dry you out, make you a little flaky in areas and cause slight irritation and redness until your skin adjusts. Don't use extra acids or exfoliants while you're using this and wear SUNSCREEN. Once I really learned how ... MoreI recently started seeing an esthetician after a friend gifted me a custom facial for Christmas.

Please read if you don't know how to clear your skin.

First review ever written for a product. This was the only thing that cleared my 40 year old, hormonal acne/rosacea. I was in tears for months over my horrible skin. Tried prescription oral medication, retinol, prescription topical, every drug store brand. Please be advised…I experienced extreme redness, burning, peeling and irritation for several weeks. I was using the Duo as a spot treatment only in the evenings and the adapalene in the morning. I used the Effaclar medicated cleanser morning and night. Double repair cream day and night. All La Roche-Posay I endured and am glad I did. I finally settled on the following routine and saw amazing results that have lasted over a year. Effaclar cleanser, Duo all over face and Double Repair mornings only. I only wash my ... MoreFirst review ever written for a product.

Effaclar cleanser, Duo all over face and Double Repair mornings only. I only wash my face with water at night, unless I have makeup on. I always follow up with the Double Repair when I wash at night. Makeup is removed with an oil cleanser. Double Repair SPF when outside is a must. Please try this if your skin is bad. And realize that you have to push through the adjustment phase. My skin is crazy sensitive and it got worse before it got better. But let me tell you, it caused 100% improvement.

Saving my skin!!

I've been dealing with acne around my cheeks and chin since the pandemic three years ago. Mainly hormonal because no matter how many diet changes and different skin care regimes it remained the same. I lost hope cause even what the doctors prescribed me was a very lengthy daily routine and was taking entirely too long to show any results and costing too much. But I bought this about a week ago, and I've been using this every night and I notice differences in how red my acne is and how it seems to be going down slowly but surely. I really am happy and am continuing to have hope since acne has been my biggest downfall in terms of self confidence. Definitely very very drying and it can be painful and also flakey. I was experiencing this at first but I use a Korean ... MoreI've been dealing with acne around my cheeks and chin since the pandemic three years ago.

This stuff is magic

I have been using this product for years. It works like a charm but there are a few caveats. I have extremely sensitive acne prone skin so I have to be careful with any product. With this, I put it on at night after cleansing my skin. Then I follow up with a good moisturizer. This product is a treatment. It is not a moisturizer so you have to make sure you are using a moisturizer afterwards. I only use this once a day. I used to use it morning and night and my skin was super clear but it made my face too dry. So I switched and only use it at night and it still keeps my skin clear. If I run out of this product I end up breaking out within a day so I know this is the magic product keeping acne away. Always do a patch test before trying something new like this.

Some people don't react well to benzoyl peroxide. Also, because this is a peroxide it will bleach your clothes, sheets, towels, anything you touch with the product so I make sure to wash my hands really well after use.

Works I guess but incredibly drying

I use LRP's cleansers which work well but I was having some stubborn pimples around my chin and jaw. Overall my skin is pretty clear, but somewhat sensitive. Saw some fellow girlies on tiktok say this was their holy grail so I bought it to try it out. If you have sensitive skin dear lord do NOT spread a layer like the directions say! Just do a tiny dot but do not spread it. I did a patch test first then spread the tiniest dot into a very very thin layer on the acne area. I just did that one time; the directions say to start with one time then up to 2-3x daily. I'm so glad I didn't do more than once. Yes, it did dry out the pimples I had but the entire area and the skin surrounding it became brown splotches. Some were flaking, some just looked so burned that I ... MoreI use LRP's cleansers which work well but I was having some stubborn pimples around my chin and jaw.

Some were flaking, some just looked so burned that I thought my skin barrier was ruined.Using this technically resolved my initial issue of drying out some stubborn pimples but created a new one with burning my skin so it had me buying more products which are typically expensive (treating stubborn marks, dark spots, discoloration). As someone who is thrifty I thought this was so lame :/ The brown spots and discoloration have been a nightmare to fix but after 3-4 days of flakiness I figured out what has been working to rehydrate and fix my skin barrier.What has been helping to fix the discoloration:I put this as three layers overnight and it worked like a charm to reduce the brown spots:Layer 1 - artnaturals Hyaluronic acid serumLayer 2 - LRP Triple Repair Moisturizing CreamLayer 3 - Cerave Healing Ointment
