As a sufferer of acne in past years, I have often dedicated my much loved beauty research as to what will aid banish my acne. I was a lover and frequent user of Clinique's Anti-Blemish Solutions three-step skincare regime which was great, until I found that it no longer worked on my skin, which was extremely frustrating considering the products were the only thing that seemed to have help eradicate my acne. I then tried and tested many different products and finally found La Roche-Posay, a french brand of skincare that specialises in treating severe and minor skin imperfection such as acne, extremely sensitive skin, extremely dry skin and even rosacea.
I'd previously tried the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo after many Youtubers and Bloggers alike raved about this product but had found that it didn't do very much for my skin and, at times, even broke me out more. However after reading about the brand and finding that the Effaclar range was aimed towards not only skin that suffered with frequent breakouts but skin that was also sensitive, I decided to invest in their products considering they were so inexpensive. I bought the cleanser, toner and moisturiser and used them in conjunction with each other. I found that even after the first day my skin felt and looked a lot better, it was softer and my imperfections didn't look so red. After just three days I found people commented on my skin looking better and after two weeks found that most of my imperfections had cleared up. My skin felt a lot softer, my make-up stayed on for longer and it wasn't stripped of moisture so left a natural glow. I've lost count of how many times I've re-purchased these products and this is a first for me as I often don't see results quick enough. This trio is definitely not leaving my skincare regime any time soon and because they work so well it allows me to incorporate other products like serums and pre-cleansers without making my skin irritable, red and spotty. Definitely worth a try!
