La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo



Hello Lovelies!

I hope you are all having a brilliant week and had a brilliant Pancake Tuesday yesterday, I don't actually like Pancakes so I was the weirdo without the Pancake status', tweets and Instagram pictures haha! 

Today I wanted to show you something that I have been absolutely addicted to for the past couple of weeks and has become a firm staple in my everyday skincare routine. You have all heard about it before I'm sure but it is the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo. I first heard about this back in November and started my hunt for it. As you know I live in the country so things like this are really hard to get my hands on things like this. So surprise surprise it was absolutely impossible to get my hands on this! I eventually got it after Christmas in a small pharmacy in my town hidden away in the corner...you should have seen my excitement!

Since welcoming it into my life I have become totally addicted to this stuff! It has completely changed the texture and appearance of my skin. Before using this I had quite alot of breakouts especially around my chin area and it was really getting me down. But since using this my breakouts have been kept to an absolute minimum and it got rid of those annoying little bumps I had under my skin on my chin (TMI?) I was talking about this product with the lovely Jess on twitter and she said when she used it, it made her skin itch slightly and it really does! I kind of like that because I feel like it's actually working! I've been using this instead on my moisturiser most nights at the moment, the other great thing about this product is that it doesn't dry my skin out! It feels slightly moisturising too! 

The only bad/sad thing about this product is the price. €16.99 for 40ml of product seems like quite a steep price to pay.  But sadly I am hooked so I will continue to repurchase this because of the effect it has had on my skin..Addicted! Boots sometimes have it on a 2 for 1 deal but they sell out quick when that offer is on!

Have you tried this product? I'd love to know what you think of it and if it's worked for you!

  2. Would you say this is a product for those with problem skin? It has been raved about but i dont really suffer from spots too much so not sure if its worth the investment for me?

    1. I think it would definitely be aimed towards people who are more prone to breakouts as it helps calm them and prevent them from happening! It can be used as a spot treatment so if I get a break out I'd put this on it and it would help clear it up ten times quicker! xxx

  5. I really like my night cream so do you think it could work just putting it on problem areas underneath my night cream? X

  6. I have never used this particular product from La Roche Posay but I use their sensitive skin line and LOVE it! They are a bit pricy but I find it worth it, it's hydrating and soft on skin! I definitely need to look for this though next time I am at the store!
