Effaclar Mat Moisturizer

I have always struggled to find something for my oily skin and large pores but just accepted my skin the way it is until I started having extreme amounts of oil and breakouts in my t zone. I was literally getting about 20+ tiny little pimples around my nose area from all the excess oil. I decided to start looking into new products and came across this along with the Effaclar medicated gel cleanser 2%! Omg it’s amazing!!! My face has cleared up, it’s moisturized and looks amazing! I have never seen my skin look so smooth and soft in my 30+ years of wearing makeup. I absolutely love this line of product!

**************************PRO TIP**************************** I took the advice of another reviewer and cut off the bottom of the tube to see if I could get any more out, and sure enough, there was a treasure trove of extra moisturizer at the top near the opening that will last you another week at the minimum. When you reach the end of your bottle, definitely cut it open, because this stuff is expensive. I was able to carefully wrap the tube up and store it in a plastic baggie with all the air squeezed out. In total, this tiny bottle lasted from the beginning of August until mid-October for me. ******************************************************** Review: Previously, I've never in my 23 years of life ever been able to have clear skin (other than before puberty). I've always had acne. I always took great care of my face (washed twice a day, avoided touching it), but nothing ever worked. All of the other things on the market (even the supposed #1 dermatologist recommended) never did anything for me; none of the dermatological-prescribed creams, pills, or face washes could ever touch me. I have combination skin: oily/greasy city in some places, and dry as the Sahara in others. If you have it too, you have my sincere condolences, because I think that up to this point in my review, we have had the same experience. Until this brand. Unlike other moisturizers, it's not heavy. It doesn't feel like it's cake. It's light and my skin breathes. It moisturizes the dry spots and doesn't irritate or inflame the acne-prone oily spots. I live in Texas - AKA sweaty city - and I swear, this stuff still doesn't feel like it's heavy on my face, even when it's 105 out. I've never moisturized before because of my acne and my stupid combination skin, but after buying this, I can see that it's possible. You get what you pay for with this stuff. Now, price-wise, it is a little much. And the bottle is laughably small. But like other reviewers mentioned, a little bit really goes a long way. I do a tiny pea-sized dab for each cheek (which you can push to cover your nose and chin/upper lip) and another for my forehead and that's worked well for me. It spreads very, very easily. The smell doesn't bother me; other reviews mentioned a chemical smell, but I wouldn't really put it like that. It just smells like cream. I wish I'd had this stuff at 14. Maybe my life would've been different. Do yourself a favor and buy this. You will not be sorry. **edit** I wanted to come and edit this review to specifically mention the importance of using this moisturizer in combination with the face wash. The face wash I bought along with this is La Rochay Effaclar Purifying Gel. I am always so instinctively skeptical and wary about using anything that claims to "moisturize" my face, so after about 2 months I stopped applying this moisturizer after every wash and started only doing it a few times a week - bad, bad, BAD idea. My face in turn began producing oils to compensate for the drying effects of my face wash. After all, the face wash is more on the acidic side. After trial and error, I'm here to tell you that yes, you need to use this stuff every time you wash your face. It doesn't make me break out whatsoever unless I skip one of these two products. Do not skip this important step! Face wash alone is not enough to keep your face clear (if you have combo skin like me).

I have tried many other products made for oily skin, but only this one has actually worked. I have oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin, in other words my skin is annoyingly picky with the products I use. I tried other products like Toleraine (also by La Roche-Posay), Cera Ve, Aveeno, and Neutrogena and I looked like a glazed donut not even 10 minutes after. So if you have been struggling to find a good moisturizer that actually leaves you nice and dry, I definitely recommend this one!

Super effective for my summer oily skin. But pretty expensive compared to what I would normally purchase. It is smaller than their typical moisturizer so be aware. I did read the reviews about it but didn’t realize exactly how small until I received the product. I did use every last drop!!

I've been using La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Daily Moisturizer for quite some time now, and it has become my holy grail product for oily skin. This moisturizer has truly transformed the look and feel of my skin in the best possible way. One of the standout features of this moisturizer is its ability to visibly reduce the look of pores. With consistent use, I've noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of my pores, making my skin look smoother and more refined. The oil-free formula is a game-changer for oily skin types like mine. It mattifies the skin without feeling heavy or greasy, providing the perfect balance of hydration and mattifying properties. I also appreciate that this moisturizer smooths skin texture, leaving my complexion looking more even and radiant. The non-comedogenic formula is gentle and doesn't clog pores, which is crucial for preventing breakouts. As someone with sensitive skin, I'm pleased that this moisturizer is dermatologist tested and hasn't caused any irritation or sensitivity issues. Overall, I highly recommend La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Daily Moisturizer to anyone with oily or combination skin looking for a lightweight, mattifying, and pore-reducing moisturizer. It's a must-have in my skincare routine and has delivered exceptional results. ---

So far so good! Since coming off of hormonal birth control, my skin has been so unbelievably oily; it has always been oily but definitely not like now where I wake up as if I washed my face in oil. I have only used this once so far, but I am very pleased with it. My skin has been picky but loves La Roche-Posay, so after trying other oil-control moisturizers with little improvement, I decided to try this one. I love how it feels, it doesn't dry down into a sticky or greasy feeling and provides enough hydration for my dehydrated but oily skin. It has a very pleasant almost berry-esque fragarance and leaves my skin looking matte after application--which I find super rare in other oil-control moisturizers. I absolutely just love how it feels hydrating, non-sticky, non-greasy, and hopefully will provide more oil-control. I love it so far! It is quite small, so I will likely only be using it on my T-Zone, which is fine as that's where I become the most oily.

This work very well for me , I have oily skin especially when the weather is hot, it stops my skin from looking oily.

If you have super oily skin like me, this is the holy grail. I’ve used to use the double repair matte moisturizer with SPF built in, which was better than anything I’d used previously but I’d still go through several oil blotters in the day. With this, I only used one & that was after a walk in this humidity. It’s non-greasy & leaves you completely matte even when paired with the sunscreen. This will remain my combo with the purifying cleanser.

Ich bin super zufrieden mit der Creme, sie mattiert tatsächlich, meine Haut fettet nicht so schnell nach, sie hat einen angenehmen Geruch und ist sehr ergiebig, eine kleine Menge reicht. Sie wird auf jeden Fall nachbestellt wenn sie leer ist. Endlich habe ich eine Creme gefunden die zu mir und meiner Haut passt!

احلى مرطب بس المشكلة كمية قليلة جدا و سعر عالي

Ho acquistato questa crema perché ho la pelle grassa e cercavo un prodotto che controllasse la lucidità senza seccare il viso, e devo dire che fa esattamente ciò che promette. La consistenza è leggera, si assorbe in pochi secondi e lascia immediatamente una sensazione di pelle fresca e opaca. ​Dopo qualche settimana di utilizzo costante, ho notato anche una visibile riduzione dei pori dilatati nella zona T. Offre una buona idratazione che dura tutto il giorno, senza appesantire. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, la consiglio assolutamente

My go-to oil control moisturiser, best one encountered.

Excellent product for oily acne prone skin specially for summer n perfect under makeup moisture...perfect price ,authentic product from amazon.sa
