| Time to see what all the fuss is about...Effaclar Duo (+) £15.50 from Boots |
So in my last post I was listing off some of the skincare products I use for my battle against the dreaded adult acne. I was quite disappointed that the one wonder cream that actually worked (Oxy 10) instead decided to burn half of my face. So I was on a quest to find another alternative which would not have the same effect...
My best friend a few weeks ago mentioned about this cream called Effaclar Duo (+) being really good but at the time I was already waiting on Oxy to arrive, so I didn't really think about it. A colleague at work also mentioned about La Roche Posay being an excellent brand for acne but that it was also quite expensive but again I was waiting on Oxy because obviously I thought that was going to be the saviour for my skin. Apparently not *sadface*.
Anyway, I was browsing around online and stumbled onto a website which stocked La Roche Posay and Effaclar Duo (+) popped up, so I thought I'd take a look at it. As soon as I read the description and reviews on it, I thought I would give it a go. I suffer from the whole lot, blocked pores, imperfections, blemishes, acne, etc so it sounds like this product may be able to help some if not all of these problems. For £15.50 a tube (40ml) I thought it would be a small price to pay if it does actually work.
It is a product which requires you to be patient for the results. On the box it states:
After 24 hours: Imperfections look visibly less red.
After 8 days: Localised imperfections appear significantly reduced.
After 4 weeks: Pores look unclogged, skin texture looks refined, controls appearance of shine.
This product has also been tested on acne prone skin, and from reading reviews alot of people who have suffered from acne who have used Effaclar Duo (+) have seen vast improvements, with some their acne clearing completely! The UK version of this product contains a bit of salicylic acid compared to the US version, which uses my favourite, benzoyl peroxide! I'm not banking on this completely clearing me up, but if it can help in some way or the other, i'll be happy.
Today is day 3 of using the product, so I will be writing up on the results as time goes on! Here's hoping it doesn't let me down!
