Q&A

Q: What products do dermatologists recommend for acne?

A: The American Academy of Dermatology & American Academy of Pediatrics recommend topical retinoids and benzoyl peroxide in the treatment of mild to severe acne. La Roche-Posay offers both a retinoid and benzoyl peroxide treatment with cosmetic elegance available over-the-counter.

Q: How do I help control my oily skin?

A: Dermatologists recommend appropriately cleansing your face twice daily to remove oily residue and grease as an essential first step in reducing excess oil. Adding a retinoid to your routine at bedtime can help control excess oil on the skin.

Q: What’s La Roche-Posay’s best regimen for acne prone skin?

A: For a full acne regimen we recommend using our award winning Effaclar Acne Treatment System, which is a 3-step acne kit with a Medicated Gel Cleanser, a Clarifying Solution both with Salicylic Acid and skin care ingredients such as Lipo-Hydroxy Acid and Glycolic Acid. It also contains Effaclar Duo Acne Treatment with Micronized Benzoyl Peroxide and Lipo-Hydroxy Acid.

Why La Roche-Posay?

Recommended by 90,000 dermatologists worldwide, La Roche-Posay offers unique daily skincare developed using a strict formulation charter and stringent clinical testing for efficacy and safety, even on sensitive skin.

The cleanser has no scent, simple packaging, and texture is similar to snail mucin. It does work well enough to cleanse the face. I would recommend trying.

I have dry skin with occasional breakouts. It cleanses well, but it's nothing special. It has minimal lather and a runny gel texture.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
