The La Roche Posay Duo That's Saving My Skin

Apologies for the long and dramatic title, but I guess you know what your getting yourself into. I've been using these products together and they have helped my skin get back to 'normal'.

La Roche-Posay Efficlar H and Efficlar Duo

Now I'm sure you have heard about the Effaclar Duo already, dubbed a 'skincare saviour' by many bloggers and I can see why. I have mentioned this product before on my blog but just in-case you missed it, its basically more than just your usual spot treatment. You can use this all over the face, however if your in the US check the formula as I'm sure the US version is stronger and meant to be used a targetted treatment. It unclogs pores, helps prevent blemishes from appearing as-well as treating current blemishes. This product gets rid of any dry skin cells and leaves skin looking and feeling smoother. I've been using this where I need it, mainly in the t-zone and have seen a dramatic difference in breakouts. It is not too drying but has helped with the amount of sebum produced.

After using the Effaclar Duo, I moisturise as normal. The moisturiser I have been using is another from the Effaclar range but this time its the Effaclar H Multi-Compensating Soothing Moisturiser. I was attracted to this moisturiser as it is created towards oily skin. In particular oily skin which has been over dried through using products which have been too harsh. For example foaming cleansers. This product acts differently than other moisturisers which are made for over dried skin. Whereas others can be slightly overwhelming for oily skin, this is lightweight yet still manages to hydrate effectively. It also helps to soothe any redness or blemishes. This product can be used in the morning or at night. On non make up days I use this during the day, however I mainly stick to using this at night.
