Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good to use It in winter time My friend recommended me this brand. Easy to put on the face. Not heavy, feels light and moisture on my face.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Effaclar K, then Effaclar K+ and Effaclar Duo+ used to be the staple in my skincare routine. They have been with me since 2010, good nine years. I always have them in my stash and once/twice a year, depending on my needs will undergo an effaclar treatment. What I love about Effaclar K+ is that it is a great day/ night cream after a retinoid treatment as it prolongs the results. Also, for those with clogged pores and blackheads, it does diminish the numer of these blemishes overtime. It makes the skin less textured, more even. It helps to maintain satin/ matte look, but do not expect too much though. The skin will shine at some point. Effaclar K+ is a great make up base, works well with the foundations, it does not dry out the skin, quite the opposite, it will help maintain the healthy hydration levels. The packaging is very handy, the formula of a lightweight lotion spreads and absorbs in seconds. I am fond of the Effaclar range fragrance too. One of my favourite skincare products.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Product I have just bought this for my son and he has been using it for 2 weeks. He is also on antibiotics prescribed by the doctor. It seems to be helping but it has really dried his skin out. Should he maybe alternate using this and one of the other moisturisers? Is it do drying perhaps using everyday? He is using the Effaclar cleansing foam everday as well. I really love to know what you suggest as I can see it is helping but it is really drying his skin out.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I have sensitive skin that dry in winter but I sometimes get pesky whiteheads around my chin and nose. I was recommended this by a friend. I use this only at night around my problem areas and it helps to keep the pore unclogged. \n\nThe applicator tip makes it easy to control the amount of product you're using. The product doesn't have a strong smell which I like as other spot-treating creams I've tried often have a very strong smell. \n

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I tend to have an oily t-zone so thought I would try this product to reduce shine, pores and blackheads. It works. I loved this gel texture in the moisturiser, it spreads easily, gliding over skin and sinking straight in. Its cost effective as a little goes a long way and its super hydrating. After using this moisturiser for a while I noticed an improvement in my skin, my pores were visibly reduced, I saw no blackheads and it controlled my shine. This makes a nice base for my makeup, really smooth and even, its a really high quality product and I am happy with the results it delivers. The squeezable bottle makes it easy to use and there is no waste. I loved this product and would absolutley highly recommend it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This moisturiser was amazing both in its results and it’s application! I used it twice daily, once in the morning as a priming layer before makeup and again at night before bed. I found my skin to feel brighter and softer instantly, with the effects only getting better with further use! Usually I find moisturisers to lack any distinct smell and if they do it’s typically one that smells very artificial and chemical but with this I found the smell to be one of my favourite things about the product as it was very refreshing! The product itself was very smooth and silky and applied easily to my skin. I would definitely recommend this for combination skin like my own as it worked to balance my t-zone without drying out the rest of my face! Whilst I didn’t find the product to overly reduce the appearance of blackheads, the moisturising qualities and versatility of the product as a day and night cream definitely makes it a stand out for me and I will 100% be continuing to use this as part of my normal routine!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This moisturiser was a lovely gel texture that sank into my skin quickly and wore well under makeup. It wasn’t the most hydrating-feeling moisturiser I’ve ever tried but I prefer that for during the day, as it didn’t exacerbate my oiliness and seemed to help my makeup wear longer. I loved the fact that it came in a hygienic tube which helped me control how much I used at a time. Whilst I prefer a richer and more hydrating texture for night time, this was wonderful for daytime wear. My skin didn’t experience any severe breakouts during use, but I did still get my usual hormonal pimples and blackheads which probably couldn’t be prevented by a moisturiser alone. Overall, a great daily moisturiser for anyone with oily or problematic skin that doesn’t irritate.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Has made a huge change! I bought this product over a month ago and have used it everyday as per the instructions. Only in the 3rd week did I start to notice the reduction in oil and reduced blackheads. My makeup sits on top of the creme and doesn't make it shift or get oily. I have very sensitive skin and this has been perfect for me. A little bit of this product goes a long way so it's great value for money!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from IVe been using this product for a few weeks now and really do love the moisturiser effect it has on my skin. It has a lovely feel and soaks in well and leaves my skin feeling soft. Honestly I haven’t noticed a huge change in the amount of blackheads I have but that may come with continued use. 
Date published: 2019-07-01
Rated 4 out of 5 by from I’ve been using this moisturiser for a few weeks now and have noticed a significant improvement in my skin. It’s a great moisturiser, not too heavy but soaks in deep and keeps your skin looking fresh and feeling great. \nI didn’t think it made much of a difference to my blackheads unfortunately but the effectiveness of the moisturiser component of the product made up for this. \nI love La Roche-Posay products. I think they are a great quality brand with great quality products. \nI love the design and packaging and the nozzle that stops too much product being dispensed. \nI would buy this product purely for the moisturising benefits. \n
Date published: 2019-07-01
Rated 4 out of 5 by from I have been using this product for 3 weeks now and have noticed a visible reduction in the shiny skin look. I have been using morning and night after removing all make up, I have sensitive skin and my skin did not react at all nor break out. Further i have noticed my blackheads are a little more refined, I have had blackheads all my life and don't see them going away overnight but a serum that will make them a little less visible is always welcomed for me. overall I would rate this product a good addition to my daily skin care routine, and would recommend for others who experience oily and blackhead prone skin. 
Date published: 2019-07-01
Rated 4 out of 5 by from I have been trying this moisturiser for a few weeks now and overall I do like it but I have not noticed a huge difference in my skin. \nIt is quick to apply and the packaging is easy to use. It also works well as a base for makeup. I liked that it is is lightweight and absorbs well into the skin. \nHowever, I have not noticed a reduction in the amount of blackheads I have. \n\n

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I love this product so much! Something that actually work ! As I love contour I found I can feel more blackheads under my skin under cheekbones as I am using powder over there and it always feel disgusting and my skin has been feeling so rough too. But after using this product for nearly three weeks now I can see the skin texture improving and visibility of blackheads and reduced significantly! I will continue using this product as it works for me and will recommend to my family and friends.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Ive reallyenjoyed using this product. I have super oily skin and have always found any moisturiserhas always been too oily on my skin and it cannot breathe.  LaRoche-Posay Effaclar K (+) has become my go to moisturiser and I now even wear this alone on the weekend, even without makeup!!\n
Date published: 2019-06-30
Rated 4 out of 5 by from I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and dry forehead and cheeks. I had to warm up to the initial scent of this product. But now I don't mind it at all. I do think I noticed a difference in the blackheads on my nose. I enjoyed the texture of the product, it's a thick, matifying texture that absorbs into my skin easily. I will be purchasing again to continue to see the difference on my nose 
Date published: 2019-06-30
Rated 4 out of 5 by from one of the best acne products I have used, I have a lot of problems with blackheads around my chin and jaw and found a noticeable reduction after using this product for a few weeks. While the product doesn't smell amazing it does feel great and absorbs well into the skin. it is defiantly something that I would be looking to incorporate into my skin care routine
Date published: 2019-06-30
Rated 4 out of 5 by from My skin is quite oily so I've always struggled with finding the right balance between keeping the skin moisturised and having it get too oily. This was great! Comes in a very easy to use squeeze tube, so you can always get the right amount of moisturiser. Sinks into the skin relatively quickly, though I will note there is a bit of a scent that isn't particularly pleasant. I would say I didn't notice too much of a difference in the amount of blackheads I had on my face, but it definitely didn't agitate them in the way a lot of other moisturisers have in the past. Overall, definitely a good moisturiser for oily skin, though I'm not convinced that it reduces blackheads!
Date published: 2019-06-30
Rated 4 out of 5 by from I have been trialling La Roche-Posay for a little while now. It comes in an easy to use squeezable bottle. It is fast absorbing and does not feel greesy or oily on your skin and gives you all day moisturisation. The cream has a really nice floral fragnant. A little goes a long way. Me personally I did not notice a difference with my pores, I still had whiteheads and blackheads. At first when I started using the cream, I noticed that I had a few bumps on my skin, but after a couple of days of using Effaclar, my skin did feel noticeable smoother. I also noticed that a fair few of my beauty spots have faded which I am very happy about. This product can be used morning and night and can be applied under your makeup, keeping your skin moisturiser. Overall my skin was kept moisturised and oil free and is good for sensitive skin.
Date published: 2019-06-30
Rated 4 out of 5 by from This is a lightweight moisturizer, it really suits my skin because I have oily skin, I have been used for 4 weeks now day & night, it really helps to reduce the shiny around my nose and minimise the appearance of my blackheads, my pore looks smaller. So far I really happy with the results I will recommend for everyone with oily skin like me.
Date published: 2019-06-30
Rated 4 out of 5 by from I tended to use this moisturiser on days where my skin wasn't too dry in the mornings, it feels very light and not sticky at all. It's a great moisturiser to use under makeup. My pores and blackheads do look smaller and less noticeable and I love the look of my skin when using this product. I haven't been able to use this everyday due to needing more moisture throughout Winter but I look forward to using it everyday throughout Summer when my skin tends to be it's oiliest.
Date published: 2019-06-29
Rated 4 out of 5 by from This is a light lotion which comes in a tube. It has mattifying properties, which helps a little with my oil producing face. Due to my dehydrated-oily skin type, I must pair it with hydrating products underneath, otherwise my face felt parched and I would wake up with visible flakes on my whole face. After about 3 weeks continuous use, I have noticed some reduction in congestion especially my forehead and I have also stopped bothering to use spot treatment products, except on a few stubborn pimples.  This product hasn’t completely stopped breakouts though, but I think it has slightly reduced the pigmentation of some of my acne scars. I was hesitant in trialling this product, as earlier in the year I had very disappointing results with the Effaclar Duo+, which gave me bumpy, painful cystic pimples on my jawline and took a long time to get rid of, with scarring still present. The Effaclar K+ has been much more promising and I will finish the tube.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Was super excited for this product. My skin has always been extremely oily however in the winter months my skin can get quite dehydrated. I've always liked La Roche Posay products and was happy to try out this baby. I like the light weight feel of the product on the skin, it doesn't feel heavy or oily. it gave a nice matte look and didn't break me out at all. although dimethicone is an ingredient i tend to avoid, this didn't seem to affect my skin. \nI must say i think it would be better for me in the summer time as in winter i need a little more water in the skin. \nOver all, very happy and would recommend to someone with an oily skin type. \n\n
Date published: 2019-06-27
Rated 4 out of 5 by from This has been a great daily moisturiser for my oily combination skin. It leaves my face feeling soft and hydrated without being too heavy or sticky. It's great under makeup and helps to give me an even complexion - highly recommend to anyone who struggles wth sensitive acne prone skin.  
Date published: 2019-06-26
Rated 4 out of 5 by from The LaRoche-Posay Effaclar K (+) moisturiser is great if you have oily skin that is prone to blackheads. I have noticed an improvement in my skin after using this and didn't irritate or inflame my skin at all. It is great as an everyday moisturiser and sits well under make-up all day. I noticed clearer skin, my pores were smaller and my blackheads visibly reduced. I used the product all over my face and also focussed more on my t-zone area. It has a slight floral scent that isn't too overpowering. The moisturiser absorbs quickly into the skin, is mattifying while hydrating the skin as well. I would recommend this product to those who have oily skin with visible blackheads and want to improve their overall complexion. \n
Date published: 2019-06-26
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works great on pimples and other skin problems.this can cause irritation and dryness so would not use if you have sensitive skin. If you have combination to oily on the other hand and suffer from blackheads, whiteheads this will be your best friend. I mainly use this in the t zone and when I had the odd pimple on my jaw line and cleared nicely.
Date published: 2019-06-26
Rated 4 out of 5 by from The scent in this moisturiser initially threw me for a loop, but after a while I really enjoyed using this product! I have pretty sensitive, combination skin, so finding a moisturiser which works for me can be really quite difficult-  so I'm really happy that this product ended up working for me!
Date published: 2019-06-08
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Help!! I have really sensitive combination acne prone skin and decided to give this a go after hearing great things! When I first started to use it I was really pleased with how it helped my t-zone areas and it really reduced my shine and the amount of blackheads on my forehead.. but after using it for a few weeks it has really over dried my skin and left the side of my nose and the area around my mouth and chin peeling! Not sure if this has ever happened to anyone else! Just wondering if you can suggest one of your moisturiser that maybe more suitable for acne prone skin that is also dry and sensitive in areas? Thanks

Rated 3 out of 5 by from This cream was light on the skin and had a pleasant scent, it moisturized the skin as it said it would. However, I did find that it did break me out around the lip area only small bumps though. The experience was pleasant but for me personally I will stick to the forehead areas when using.\n
Date published: 2019-06-30
Rated 3 out of 5 by from The La Roche-Posay Effaclar K (+) is a great product for what it does. It did stop blackheads from forming, I did not notice any blackheads while using this product. The down side is my face started breaking out and I was not sure if this was the cause but it is the only addition to my routine.
Date published: 2019-06-30
Rated 3 out of 5 by from This cream did control the oilness of my skin quite noticeably. It was very moisturising as well. However it didn’t combat my blackheads and pimples as well as I would have like it to. Overall, if you want a moisturiser that will help reduce your oiliness, this would be suitable.
