The product: La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Double Action Acne Treatment

Severe local imperfections : Niacinamide and Piroctone Olamine helps to purify the skin and protect against breakouts developing. 
Sebum-blocked pores : The LHA/Linoleic Acid combination to help unclog pores by eliminating dead cells, responsible for their obstruction. 
These active ingredients are combined with soothing and anti-irritating La Roche-Posay thermal spring water.
Mattifying and moisturizing cream-gel. Refreshing and non-greasy." La Roche Posay
IngredientsAQUA / WATER ≤0%,GLYCERIN ≤0% ,CYCLOHEXASILOXANE ≤0%, HYDROGENATED POLYISOBUTENE ≤0%, NIACINAMIDE ≤8%, ISOPROPYL LAUROYL SARCOSINATE ≤0%, AMMONIUM POLYACRYLDIMETHYLTAURAMIDE / AMMONIUM POLYACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE ≤0%, SILICA ≤0%, METHYL METHACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER ≤3%, SODIUM HYDROXIDE ≤0.3%, SALICYLIC ACID ≤0.6%, NYLON-12 ≤0%, ZINC PCA ≤0.1%, LINOLEIC ACID ≤0%, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE ≤0%, CAPRYLOYL GLYCINE ≤0%, CAPRYLOYL SALICYLIC ACID ≤2%, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL ≤1%, PIROCTONE OLAMINE ≤0.6%, MYRISTYL MYRISTATE ≤0%, POTASSIUM CETYL PHOSPHATE ≤0%, GLYCERYL STEARATE SE ≤0%, PARFUM / FRAGRANCE 
Pros: Contains a 0.5% of salicylic acid to help shed dead skin cells and help unclog pores and clearing breakouts, 
Vitamin B3 which helps decrease hyper pigmentation that causes scarring, inflammation from the pimples and anti aging as well, Piroctone olamine which helps by being antibacterial to cleanse pores, soothes irritated skin, and is a great anti oxidant, and also contains Linoleic acid which is a gentle exfoliator to help cell regeneration. It's a light weighgel texture. Nodrying on the skin.
Cons: Wish it came in a larger size. A pump would be great for fool proofing the amount needed while dispensing.  
The bottom line: I've tried many acne lotions and creams and I find this one to be one of my favourites. It's like a face cream and spotreatment in one.
Price and size: $25 CAD/40ml
Rating: 4/5
