Good product

I have acne-prone skin and usually get hormonal acne. My T-zone is covered in very tiny blackheads and this product has helped "close" up pores in the way that they seem tighter and cleaner. The usual blackheads are a little difficult to get out and this product cleans from the inside out. I have been using it for the past 2 months now and my face is getting clearer, slowly but surely!

The ultimate salicylic for troubled skin

More gel like than other brands so easier to apply. With a higher strength than others, can use less product for same result. Light scent disappears immediately for sensitive individuals.

very drying

I thought is was very drying but didn't seem to clear my skin. I would not order again. I would like to send it back for a refund but I no longer had the packaging

Saved a return trip to the dermatologist

I've had bad hormonal acne for ages, and had to take a course of accutane - which worked pretty well, for about a decade. Then things got worse again, which is frustrating. I got a sample of this, and of a different acne treatment - both worked pretty well. LRP is less drying; the othermakes my skin more tight and lightly itchy. Mostly I use LRP, just a few drops on my fingertips spread over the lower half of my face once or twice daily, followed by moisturizer/ spf. I'll buy the other one too as its packaging is more travel-friendly, but this LRP will likely be my go-to for the foreseeable future. It's worked really well for a few months now.

Good for sensitive skin

Nice product that isn't as drying as some products with salicylic acid in it but not sure it works as well for acne. I like to use it in combination with a stronger product.

Great salicylic

I got this as a sample and gobbled it up! Love this serum. It's less expensive than the competitors and does its job - anti blemish and anti wrinkle! My skin is smooth and I will buy more when I run out!

Love this exfoliating serum!

This serum is very nice and gentle, yet exfoliating. I have very sensitive skin. It tends to get red very easily and I break out under my hat a lot and using this serum with my retinol at night has helped so much. So happy I received this as a sample! Also doesn't dry out your skin.

Best, affordable salicylic acid treatment!

Been using for about a year now and is the best treatment I’ve come across after years of suffering with acne. I use it every night and notice a huge difference when I forget one night. When I am having a break out, this treatment cuts the recovery time in half. Best part - it’s an affordable, reliable brand!

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Salicyclic Acid Acne Treatment Serum

This is one of the best skin treatments that I have ever used. No harsh stinging skin or red, dryness for my sensitive facial skin. I will continue to use this product. I really like all of the skin care products that I purchase from LovelySkin.
