Reviews For La Roche-Posay Effaclar Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment
Better than prescription gels
I started with severe acne at age 50. I have tried almost every topical medication there is with disappointing results. I am so happy that I decided to try the La Roche-Posey Effaclar Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne treatment. It has reduced my oil production by more than half and I have not had any areas where the oil collects under the skin causing large raised areas that take weeks to go away. I am extremely pleased with the results of this gel. I do use a light application twice a day and have not had a problem with over drying.

Great for Acne prone skin
I started using this instead of another over the counter adapalene gel. It is not drying like other brands I have used. I use this at night with my nightly moisturizer. I will be buying again as I never want to run out of this product.

Good for Smooth Skin
I have used Adapalene Gel 0.1 for years, but the La Roche-Posay brand is the best I have used. I use it mainly to help with whiteheads and sun damage. It definitely helps and La Roche-Posay seems not to irritate my skin as much as other brands. It is best to use moisturizer 5 to 10 minutes after applying it so as to reduce irritation.

I used for my back acnes.
I used for my back acnes. I applied on my skin after I took shower. This maybe helped to stop more breakouts but I didn't feel dramatic curing or changing. Still a good product though. I like this gel texture.

My Maskne cure!
I've had some problems with maskne amid the pandemic, and this product has been a lifesaver. I use it every night under my moisturizer and it keeps my acne at bay. I didn't think it was working at first and stopped using it, but I was wrong! I started using it again and after two or three days my skin was back to feeling normal. I can't live without this in my routine!

No issues
I apply this product after my night time moisturizer and have had no issues with flaking or peeling. It smoothes over skin easily and soaks in quickly. I gave a four because despite consistent use, I have not seen improvement in my acne, however, I have noticed improvement in my acne scarring from past blemishes.

Best acne spot treatment
It is a very good product, you must use it according to the instructions and do not forget your sunscreen. You must use a good moisturizer, it irritates the face quite a bit. But the results are incredible, my acne improved a lot.

Cleared up my hormonal acne!
This really helped clear up the acne I was experiencing around my chin and jaw, and didn't cause any irritation. It's a product I'm going to keep on hand from now on! Use a thin layer of moisturizer before and after using it to avoid irritation. Helped my skin so much!

Works Great!
Works great on teenage skin. My teens use this nightly. My dermatologist also thought it was a great choice for teenage acne.

Multifunction Face Cream
Have on hand always, use when I have breakouts on my face, and nice to use as a Retin A cream at night.

Be patient, it works
I am pleased with the low price point of this vitamin A derivative, compared to retinol or even a retinol prescription. I have been using it for a couple months and never went through a purge period like others. I will keep using and have purchased a backup.

Sticky
I decided to try this after so many reviews described it as more moisturizing than Differin. I didn't find it more moisturizing--just very sticky. I will go back to Differin when this tube is used up.

Works well
I’ve had cystic type acne breakouts all my life & am still having trouble into my 60s with at least a monthly problem. I’ve tried many products. I tried this product 3 months ago and no more breakouts of what I call underground pimples that won’t go away for weeks! The product goes on well & dries quickly. My only complaint is that it is a bit drying (I have sensitive skin) even though I use a face cream but using the face cream twice a day has helped this problem which is well worth it! I would highly recommend this product.

The Best Adapalene Product
I much prefer this to the Differin Adapalane Gel. The texture is a little more smooth, more glide on the skin, and absorbs a little more quickly. I have used two small 15 ml tubes of the Differin prior to this product coming on the market. I buffer this over moisturizer (La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair + Cicaplast Baume. I really like this one, and this brand; specifically the Toleriane range. I highly recommend this Adapalene because you can frequently get 20% off here on LovelySkin, and the texture is superior to Differin. These Adapalene gels are not identical.

Good Product
I've only been using it for a few weeks, mostly for some spots of sebaceous hyperplasia on my forehead. I think it's working. Some the spots seem smaller and the skin looks smoother. It is drying, though, so make sure to use a moisturizer. I use it every day with a moisturizer and I don't get flaky. If I forget to moisturize, I flake.

Better texture than Differin
I prefer this formula for Adapalene than the one in Differin. It absorbs faster and feels better on the skin. Also a bigger tube!
