La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Correction Gel Cream. Application Reviews

Despite the fact that the price bites a little (1000 rubles per 40 ml), and the first positive effect becomes noticeable only after 2-3 weeks of regular use, customers are delighted with this product and recommend that others pay attention to it.

The principle of the product is the presence of LHA-acid, which draws all the dirt from the depth of the pores to the skin surface. Therefore, if you are firsthand familiar with such a problem as acne, then be prepared: in the near future they will all come out.

Indications for use:

• for oily skin with black dots and enlarged pores;
• suitable for sensitive dermis;
• treats inflammation and acne.

Numerous reviews about La Roche-Posay Duo also note that the following side effects are possible during treatment:

1. The appearance of red spots and burning in the first week of use is the norm. No need to be scared, because after 8-14 days the skin will get used to the cream and stop responding in this way.
2. Acids that make up the product contribute to exfoliation, so facial skin can peel off. But to get rid of post-acne and scars in another way is simply impossible, and the situation that is unpleasant at first glance will give a good effect. It should be noted that peeling should occur only at 2 or 3 weeks. If this happened in the first 7 days, one answer is an overdose. Try applying a little less cream to your face.
3. Since salicylic acid is also present in the composition - expect rashes.

So, knowing the advantages and possible reactions to Effaclar Duo, we proceed to the instructions:

1. Wash with foam / mousse / gel and pat your face with a paper towel.
2. Thermal water can be sprayed, but not necessary.
3. Apply a small amount of cream along the massage lines without getting into the area around the eyes.

As you can see, everything is very simple, but to achieve excellent results, you need regularity. Ideally, the procedure should be carried out once a day, but if the situation is running, then twice a day. In the summer, customer reviews recommend applying Effaclar Duo in the morning and evening, and in winter - before bedtime.

Reanimating dehydrated skin

Most often, a sensitive dermis is in trouble, since it is it that is attacked every second by millions of microbes, an army of viruses, and also dust, soot ... This list can be continued endlessly, but it is time to move on to the main thing.

The laboratory specialists studied this problem for a long time and finally created another effective series called Hydraphase. In order not to be unfounded, we offer you to get to know more about products and reviews.

1. La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense Masque. A soothing mask thanks to the combination of shea butter, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, thermal water and intense structurin moisturizes the skin, enhances cellular adhesion in order to retain moisture in the epidermis for a long time. Apply to cleansed face and neck. Remove after 10 minutes with a tissue or cotton pad.

2. Hydraphase Intense YEUX - a cream-gel, thanks to which the thin skin of the area around the eyelids will get rid of bags and swelling, as well as be saturated with the necessary moisture. Suitable for sensitive eyes.

3. La Roche-Posay Legere. Reviews claim that despite the high cost (1,500 rubles per 50 ml), the product also provides protection against UV radiation. Due to its light, non-greasy texture, the fluid is quickly absorbed, gives a healthy radiant shade and smoothes the skin.

4. Hydraphase Intense Riche moisturizing care to instantly eliminate the feeling of tightness and improve the relief of the face. The customers were especially delighted with the packaging in the form of a sealed dispenser bottle, which does not allow air, and therefore bacteria, to enter.

This is where the description and reviews of La Roche-Posay Hydraphase come to an end, and we move on to another "water" product line.

Hydreane

The purpose of this range is not only to moisturize, but also to reduce the sensitivity of the skin. Popularity among consumers is associated with the presence in the composition of hydrolipids and the many minerals necessary for the epidermis.

So, the line includes the following products:

• Hydreane Legere is a cream with pigments of natural origin that can even out the tone. The non-greasy and very delicate texture caused a real stir among dermatologists. It is not surprising that he was noted as one of the best cosmetics.
• Extra Riche is an extra-moisturizing emulsion saturated with magnesium, selenium and hydrolipids. Experts recommend using a moisture-forming cream-lager every day and after 4 weeks the sensitivity of the skin will noticeably decrease, and the condition will improve by 80%.
• The last representative of the line is BB-Cream, which is presented in two shades: natural beige and light.

All 4 Hydreane products are tested and have a quality certificate. In addition, laboratory studies and testing have proven that the drugs have shown their effectiveness even when other similar drugs could not cope with the problem.

Best of Toleran

Judging by the reviews, La Roche-Posay Toleriane mainly attracted customers with its assortment and hypoallergenicity. In addition, all creams contain an increased amount of antioxidants, moisturizing components, but there are practically no parabens, fragrances and other additives in them.

Many people advise using the Toleran range of products precisely in the winter, when frost and air dried by heating actively dry our epidermis, causing peeling. It is also worth noting: all drugs have been tested and non-comedogenic, which is very important for owners of skin prone to inflammation and clogging of enlarged pores.

According to many enthusiastic reviews, La Roche-Posay Tolerine Gel has become the most prominent member of the gamut. Buyers recommend the product to those who have flaws and all kinds of problems in the T-zone: redness, peeling and comedones in the nasal folds. In the comments, women note that regular gel washing not only cleansed, but also improved the complexion of the face. If all the problems are related to the approach of PMS, then the tool will help to smooth out the reaction of your skin to fluctuations in the hormonal background.

Of course, nobody promises you miracles after a single use, but research and testing have proven that regular use of the gel will help to improve the condition of the epidermis by 70%.

Age Skin Care

Of course, each series deserves special attention, but I would like to finish with the La Roche-Posay Redermic range. Reviews about it are left mainly by ladies whose skin has already encountered the first signs of aging. With dignity, it was this line, or rather, the following drugs, that helped women meet the changes:

1. Redermic [+] - consists of two creams: for the face and eye contour. Due to the enhanced formula and active components, both products increase the elasticity of the epidermal tissues, give silkiness (hyaluronic acid), block the effects of wilting factors (neurosensin) and stop collagen destruction (special peptin).

2. Redermic [R] - the product is indicated for use to rejuvenate and restore combination skin. Beauticians recommend applying the cream not only to the face, but also to the neck and décolleté.

3. Redermic [C] - helps eliminate hated wrinkles from dry and sensitive dermis. According to experts and customers, the product is aimed at:

• tone equalization;
• slowing down the aging process;
• giving elasticity.

You can purchase all the above and many other products of the French company La Roche-Posay only in a pharmacy or on the page of the official online store of the brand.

Happy shopping and healthy radiant skin!
