Directions

Apply twice daily on thoroughly cleansed skin, massaging gently into the skin until absorbed.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Versatile [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Inwas lucky enough to trial La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ M Moisturiser. Its dual-action formula combines effective hydration with targeted blemish control, making it a versatile choice for those with oily or acne-prone skin. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling nourished without greasiness. The inclusion of niacinamide and salicylic acid helps to address imperfections and control excess oil production, promoting a clearer complexion over time. The product is a great correcting product and goes on and dries a bit like primer. Although I found the moisturisering aspect lacking. As it wasn't as hydrating as I would have liked, I was still required to apply moisturiser after application. Overall I would recommend for acne prone and oily skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Worked well on spots [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had used the previous version of effaclar duo (without the added ingredient) and found this to be an improvement. To be honest i only use this as a spot treatment when i get acne spots rather than all over my face. I do get deeper spots (little cysts that either have to be treated as soon as i feel them or let them come up and burst ) and surface small spots and found it worked better of smaller ones or new deeper ones. I liked the new formula and found it compared well with the older one and my skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A new tool in the kit [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product for a few weeks after having had several blemishes. It applies easily, and you don't need much of the product as it goes far. It is smooth on your skin and dries without a film or any greasiness. It has a soft floral scent (jasmine maybe?). Including this cream as part of my routine was super simple and it worked well when layered with other skincare items like sunscreen. I felt like it helped with my blemishes, however, it certainly didn't eradicate them immediately. I feel like didn't prevent spots from occurring, but it slowly helped to remove marks from old acne scars. This will be a new tool in my kit to help clear my skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Effaclar Duo + Moisturiser [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this product! In combination with the rest of my skincare routine, I found Effaclar Duo + M an effective treatment for minor blemishes, particularly in the high Australian summer when every moisturiser feels too rich and sticky in this heat! It saved the moisturising step for me, but I definitely noticed some dry skin while using this product, as expected. Sometimes I needed an additional moisturiser while using, when I noticed I felt extra dry. I would repurchase and keep this incorporated into my anti acne routine!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Looks promising [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo + M Moisturiser. Thank you beautyheaven and La roche posay for sending this for me to try. The packaging is simple and effective at dispensing the product. The moisturiser itself is thick but spreads easily and dries down quickly. It is supposed to be used morning and night but due to the absence of SPF it needs to be layered with SPF which is a bit of a hassle if you are time poor like me. The one thing I did not like is that the product does pile when it dries down so not sure how suitable it is to be worn under makeup. I feel like my skin has slightly improved in terms of texture and spots but definetly too soon to say for sure. Looks promising and overall a lovely product to use.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great product [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a long time lover of the La Roche-Posay range and in particular the Effaclar line. Some of these products are my absolute ride or die so I was super excited to trial the brand new and innovative Effaclar Duo+M. This particular formular is deigned as an anti-imperfections moisturiser that predominantly focuses on reducing the appearance of blackheads. The lotion is very similar to the other Effaclar duo products that I have tried in the past. It is light weight, absorbs into the skin quite quickly and does not leave any sort of residue on the skin. It has a light cooling effect to it and, one of the most important things to me, it doesn’t irritate the skin after any form of exfoliation or hair removal. It feels very nice on the skin and I am very happy to use it both morning and night. In regards to my results, I’ve been using it for a few weeks and although I don’t think I’ve notice too much in regards to blackheads, I do feel like my skin is clearer and more even. I’m very happy with the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+M and will continue to use and monitor results.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for daily wear or on long days [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really loved this product, it was super light weight texture and feel so even after having it on and wearing makeup on top it didn't have a heavy feel to it and as someone who has oily skin it didn't make my skin feel clogged up. It was very easy to apply and spread well, the tube was also very convenient and to avoid over squeezing and product wastage. The only draw back of the actual cream was that it left my face looking shiny which is normal for my skin normally as I usually have oily skin, but this was more than normal, so for anyone with oily skin I would recommend using a mattifying setting powder on top. I don't have blackheads, only mild blemishes and post-acne scarring and while the product targets these concerns I haven't really noticed any difference so far. I would re-purchase this product primarily for the texture and feel on my skin since this is the only LRP product that hasn't "pilled" on my skin and was a good moisturiser, but if you are looking for fast-acting blemish targeting or acne-scar reducing products then this may require more longer term use to notice visible differences.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love it! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have terrible acne and scarring which have turned into dark spots all over my face. This product really helped calm and prevent my acne. I have used this for a month now (day and night) and my dark spots have lightened up a bit. I love that it is like a two in one product. Instead of piling loads of different serums on and then a moisturiser, you get the benefits of improving imperfections in a nice moisturiser. There is a faint smell but nothing overpowering, it is quite nice actually. Another thing I like about it is the consistency. It's lightweight and absorbs into the skin nicely. No tacky or thick feeling at all. It can be worn underneath makeup. I would recommend this product if you struggle with acne and have scarring definitely.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Future cult status pending [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never met a La Roche Posay product I haven't met so I was excited to try this. The Effaclar Duo + M Moisturiser promises to reduce blackheads, pimples and acne scarring. I didn't notice a difference with my scarring. However, I noticed a visible difference in my congestion and a physical difference in my skin texture which felt smoother and more refined after a month. The first week however was rough on my skin, causing severe irritation and flaking. Once I stopped using actives my skin calmed down so definitely recommend using this as part of a simple routine.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for spota [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this item before they reformulated and changed it to add the microbiome base. I liked the new formula too. I used it as mainly a spot or area treatment not as an all over fave product and liked how it worked on my spots. It took a while on certain types of spots but others it helped ore quickly. Like my smaller one it helped over time nicely whereas my deeper cystic acne caused by hormones was not fast enough for me personally so I found myself reaching for something else at night and using this durng the day.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Cleared my hormonal acne [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best moisturisers I've come across. Lately I've been going through menopause and have been struggling a lot with acne but this has helped me by miles. My skin has finally cleared up and I'm not self concious about my skin any more. It is a very smooth serum which glides across the skin. I would recommend this product to almost anyone. Especially if you are currently struggling with your self esteem. I love the smell of this product too. It doesn't have a super chemically smell and is quite pleasant in the nose. Overall quite impressed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Decent moisturiser for oily skin [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product comes housed in a slim squeeze tube and narrow tip which enables precise dispensing. Texture wise, it is a gel-creme which is a bit thick and requires some warming to spread with no detectable scent. I found that I needed to use a fair amount of product to fully cover my face. I used this day and night for 3 weeks in conjunction with my usual serums and sunscreen and found a slight reduction in oiliness, however sometimes I felt the need to layer an additional moisturiser layer on top as this product was a bit too drying for my skin. This does not interfere with make-up and I was able to get through the day without pilling, excessive oilyness or dry/irritated skin (with occasional moisturiser layer on top if needed). There is an initial purging process whilst using this, suggesting the product was doing its job, so would recommend factoring adjustment time when introducing this product into a regimen. For oily/combo, this product may not be moisturising enough however this may suit those with very oily and/or blemish prone skin. For my skin type, it was occasionally not moisturising enough, however I felt that the product mixed well with my usual products and did not cause irritation or discomfort. I generally enjoy using LRP products, however on this occasion this product although it performed well, did not suit my skin type. If the product was a little more moisturising and easy to speead, it would receive a 4 star rating :)

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Black Heads Gone - Blemishes & Marks, Not So Much [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+M product around four weeks ago. I have found it has reduced blackheads, but not blemishes and post-acne marks as advertised. My routine is as follows: In the morning, I wash my face with warm water during my shower (no cleanser). I dab my face dry with a clean towel and wipe my face with Bioderma Sensibo Micellar water using a cotton pad. I then mix a pea-sized amount of La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+M with my daily Natio SPF moisturiser. I then apply a mineral BB cream (instead of a foundation). Throughout the day, my skin still feels quite greasy and much the same as it always has. I will often come home from work to find new acne. In this way, the moisturiser is no miracle worker. It must be remembered, however, that it does not claim to help emerging acne. At night, I cleanse with the CeraVe Hydrating cleanser and then apply La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+M mixed with Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. I have found this product to achieve one third of what it advertised. I was hoping it would be a lifesaver for my acne marks, but have been severely disappointed. I have had a major reduction in blackheads, but this was not my concern. I would recommend this moisturizer to someone who was looking to reduce blackheads, not blemishes or marks. After testing this product for four weeks, I have deemed it not worth the trouble. The moisturizer stings when applying after cleansing and it dries the skin slightly. Definitely not a product for those with sensitive skin.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Okay so far.. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Effaclar Duo + M moisturiser as part of a trial, and was super excited as I have always been a big fan of La Roche Posay and felt like this product targeted to my exact skin concerns. The packaging is in line with the brand, simplistic but practical. It comes in a squeeze tube with a small nozzle which is easy to use and control. The moisturiser itself is somewhere between a cream and a gel, and glides onto the skin beautifully. It absorbs in quickly and leaves no residue. It has a slight citrus scent, and fragrance is an ingredient so if you are sensitive to those be mindful. I typically try to avoid any perfumed products but haven't noticed any significant irritation so far - I will update if this changes. In regards to performance it does appear to immediately hydrate the skin, and I do think it may have (very slightly) improved existing PIH I had. I regards to reducing blemishes I think I need to continue using it for a little longer before I can comment on that - so far I don't think I have noticed any significant improvement in either blemishes or pores. I will continue using this product to see what the long term results are - I do think it is a little pricey for a moisturiser at roughly $40 for 40ml, but I assume it will be easy enough to pick up on sale.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good product but not the best moisturiser [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the product needed to be tested over a longer period of time to really assess the results- however I did find some improvement in the acne condition of my skin. I found this product easy to integrate into my current routine. As someone with combination skin, however, I did find that this product was not moisturising enough on its own. When I used this as my moisturiser I found it to be quite mattifying but slightly dry in some areas of my face. Once I started using another heavier moisturiser after, it solved the problem and I still got the benefit of this product. If you have very oily skin this would probably be a comfortable moisturiser for you.
Date published: 2024-01-18
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Drying and Wrinkle inducing [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For a moisturiser it isn't exactly moisturising. It has sucked all of the moisture from my skin. It might be suited for more oily skin. While I do suffer from acne, it didnt help at all. But yes, not overly impressed with this product. Could be a lot better. Didn't exactly do what it promised to do and I wouldn't recommend doing it again. It might be for younger skin than what I have though, so maybe younger and less sensitive skin will fair better with this sorta thing. A shame really it isn't for me

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Fragrance not necessary in skincare products Please stop including fragrance in your skincare products. Fragrance is very risky for so many people, particularly people with compromised skin (such as those with acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, damaged skin barrier, etc). It’s just not a necessary ingredient… it doesn’t benefit the skin in any way.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Bring bay the old formula I don’t like the new Effalclar Duo+M. I stuck with it for 3 months and it didn’t do much for my skin. The old formula was the holy grail of skin care. Why did you fix what wasn’t broke.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very bad reaction I bought the Effaclar serum and Effaclar Duo+M moisturiser for my teenage daughter experiencing breakouts in hope that these products would help with her acne. However, the first time she tried them she ended up in tears as the products stung her face really badly. I got her to try them for a second time and she ended up in tears again. It really upset her and now she would not try it anymore. I would like to know what could have caused such a bad reaction and if there is a refund policy for this. Thanks.
