Pore-Tightening Lotion with Micro-Exfoliating Effect La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion Micro-Exfoliant

I accidentally bought the wrong tonic from this series, and I don't really like it because it dries out my skin and has too much alcohol.

Terrible tonic, I had an unreal allergic reaction, and even felt like I was burned, unbelievably high alcohol content in it, I highly do not recommend it.

This is a great tonic! My daughter has been using it for several years now and she is very satisfied. Thank you.

This product is extremely aggressive, as it excessively dries out and irritates the skin due to its high alcohol content. Even moisturizing does not help prevent excessive dryness.

This lotion is nice, but it seems that it cannot be used every day. Because after 1.5 weeks of using it every morning and evening, I got 2 painful subcutaneous rashes on my right cheek, which also itched a little.

I bought the lotion to shrink pores. I did not have any rash problems before using it.

Then I took a break from using it for 4 days, and the rashes started to disappear. It seems that it is necessary to use a smaller amount and use it maximum once a day and every other day.

This lotion is great. I recommend applying it within the first 30 seconds after patting your skin dry with a towel or facial tissues. The effect truly improves.

I have been using the entire line of products for about six months: facial cleanser, toner, cream, and serum with 3 acids. Initially, everything seemed fine, as it effectively dealt with oiliness and left my skin cleaner. However, over time, it started to damage my skin's protective barrier. My skin became excessively dry, yet still oily, and the texture worsened. I couldn't find a solution to this issue. It took me a while to realize that it was caused by these products. When I started testing new creams and cleansers, my skin improved. As for the toner, it's useless. There was a period when I used it on half of my face for three weeks just to see if it made any difference, but it didn't work at all.

Hello, unfortunately, this review is not pleasant for me. The description on the jar and the product page only mentioned applying it to cleansed skin and then using a moisturizer. However, I only learned from comments on makeup blogs later on that the product should not be used every day, but rather 2-3 times a week. After using it daily for a few days, my skin started to burn on problem areas, and washing it off with water did not help, nor did any of the moisturizing products. There are very dry patches on my face that have become red and burn throughout the day. I have put this product aside and now I hope that my skin will not worsen because it feels like my skin is peeling off with each passing hour and the burning sensation is getting stronger. I have never experienced constant redness before, although I have had problematic skin. I used the following routine every day:

1. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel
2. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion
3. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo + M

I'm not blaming anyone, but I regret not reading the comments earlier. If anyone knows how to restore skin in dry areas, I would be very grateful because I'm worried that it will only get worse if I do nothing.

Unfortunately, this tonic only ruined my skin. I bought it in Europe. I somewhat liked other Effaclar products. Perhaps the tonic does remove the top layer of impurities, but by tightening the pores and containing alcohol (which causes dryness, hence increased sebum production), it only encapsulated everything inside for me. Now I have to treat it for a long time and it's tedious.

I use it constantly, and my pores have significantly reduced, and my skin condition has improved.

This lotion is excellent and does its job effectively.

This product has a strong scent of alcohol. I have combination skin and will continue using it every 3-5 days. However, after using it, I feel the need to wash my face.

After using it for a week, I noticed that my pores have become smaller. I use it once a day along with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo + and La Roche-Posay Toleriane Sensitive Cream. I apply one cream in the morning and the other at night.

Cosmetics do not need advertising, as long as they are suitable for my daughter. And that is the most important thing.

I bought this tonic at the pharmacy. My skin is combination, with shine in the T-zone, especially during the summer. This tonic suited me very well, as I noticed that it narrowed my pores and reduced the shine on my skin. Although it does contain alcohol, surprisingly it doesn't dry out my skin even when applied all over my face, so it's not very aggressive. To clarify, my skin is not oily, but rather combination. I think it's particularly ideal for the summer period, as it may dry out during winter or colder seasons. I use it together with the Efficlar cleansing gel in the green tube (I can't remember the exact name) and also the La Roche Posay sunscreen for combination and oily skin. The combination of these products gives me great results.

I have very oily skin. I have been using the Effaclar line for two months. My skin tone has become more even, it reduces oiliness, and redness/breakouts have decreased by 80%. I'm purchasing it for the second time. I am satisfied and I recommend it.

I bought this product six months ago (its composition is shown in the photo) - I liked it and appreciated it. Now I ordered the exact same product again, but when I started using it, I realized that they added a significant amount of alcohol to the composition! Previously, there was absolutely no alcohol in it, please take a look at the photo. Now, first of all, they completely changed the composition while keeping the same name, and secondly, alcohol is in second place... By the way, I couldn't find the composition on the website before placing the order, so apparently there is something to hide. The tonic has worsened, it has disappointed me, and I won't be buying it anymore.

The number of breakouts has decreased and my skin tone has become lighter. I use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel and La Roche-Posay Effaclar K(+) for this.

Hello. I am very satisfied with the entire Effaclar series, especially the lotion. I have already ordered it for the second time. It dries the skin, eliminates shine, and minimizes pores. It works perfectly.

This is a great product that effectively soothes the skin without drying it out. It effectively cleanses and minimizes pores. It's perfect for my problematic skin, and it suits me well.

I purchased a cleanser + toner + cream, all from the Effaclar line, but this toner did not work at all. It feels like it exists separately from everything else.

I have combination skin and after a few days of use, my skin started to tighten around my nose, chin, and above my lips. I stopped using it immediately and my skin started to peel. Thankfully, I also bought the cream and it saved my skin, which is now back to normal.

Furthermore, the scent is very strong and alcoholic, to the point that my eyes started to tear up before even bringing it close to my face.

This product does its job well. I saw results after the first use; by the second day, my skin became clear and it dried out any excess oil. The pimples and blemishes became almost unnoticeable. It's the best product for my oily skin. I highly recommend it.

I am satisfied with this toner as it effectively performs its functions. It has helped me get rid of dry skin and small breakouts, including those under the skin. This is definitely pleasing. I highly recommend it as it gently and delicately cleanses the skin without causing any tightness.

The toner is very good, I'm ordering it for the second time. Unlike the face wash gel from the same line, it doesn't dry out the skin. I usually used it in combination with many other products, so I couldn't really single out its "work". However, a power outage and water shortage made me wash off my makeup only with a sponge and this lotion. So, here's the thing: I woke up with incredibly silky skin, without dryness or tightness. Honestly, I used to think that this lotion dries out the skin, not the gel. I definitely recommend it.

I bought this product based on reviews. I have combination skin, and I liked that it is lightweight and doesn't leave any stickiness. It doesn't make my skin feel tight or irritated, and I feel refreshed after using it. I am satisfied with it, and it has become my favorite now!

Drying the skin with alcohol content. For this price, you can find a better alternative. Although this brand has quite decent jars.

I have previously left a review here.
First, I received a sample from the makeup brand, and now I have purchased the full version.
It is a really great product.
It minimizes pores and dries out breakouts.
I absolutely love the entire Effaclar series.
I tried it on my husband too, and he had excellent results: his breakouts disappeared and his pores became smaller.
The smell of alcohol doesn't bother me at all, everything is fine.
It doesn't dry out the skin if you use a moisturizer or serum afterwards.
In the morning, we apply SPF for skin protection.

Really cool lotion! I have sensitive combination skin, mostly dry. After applying it, I feel a pleasant sensation, it doesn't sting or dry out. I've been using it for over two weeks now, the redness has disappeared, and it almost completely cleared up all my old breakouts, with no new ones appearing. It's a fantastic product, I highly recommend it!

Do not expect any effect.

Strange sensation, smells like alcohol and burns like alcohol.

The tonic is amazing! I have dry skin with lots of breakouts and enlarged pores. I could definitely smell the alcohol and was afraid it would dry out my skin and cause flaking, but no, everything is great. I noticed results after the first use, with significantly fewer breakouts. I intentionally waited a few weeks before writing this review.
I use it together with the face wash and moisturizer from this series, and after 2 weeks, my skin is cleaner, more moisturized, almost all breakouts have disappeared, pores have tightened, and my complexion has improved. Even the pigmentation spots on my nose have reduced.

This lotion is great, it truly cleanses the skin and helps reduce inflammation. The important thing is not to use it every day, as it may cause skin dryness.

The product has a strong smell of alcohol and it tends to dry out the skin excessively.

I purchased this product a few days ago and started using it in combination with La Roche-Posay. I am satisfied with the effect of this cleansing gel-mousse for oily and problem skin, as even after just a few days, there is visible improvement in my skin. After pregnancy, I often started to have breakouts on my face, and vitamins and pharmacy products did not give the same result as these products. There are fewer breakouts, the red spots are disappearing, and my skin is less oily. These products suited me well, and I am very satisfied.

It didn't work for me. It caused a severe breakout. Now I look like a teenager with acne(((( The alcohol smell is very strong. Truly disappointing.

This product exfoliates the skin quite aggressively, making it very easy to experience irritation and redness even with just every other day usage, which will then have to be treated. For sensitive skin, I would recommend using it no more than 1-2 times a week, as it is not suitable for daily use as it can disrupt the skin barrier. AHA acids are much better for exfoliation if your skin is sensitive or dehydrated. It does indeed effectively clean out pores, but it also dries out the skin (as it contains quite a bit of alcohol), which contradicts the principles of caring for problematic skin. Just to clarify, of course, I used a moisturizer after applying the toner, but it does not save the skin from such an aggressive product.

I have bought La Roche lotion not for the first time, and I have never had the desire to change it. When used in combination with the face wash gel and face cream, it produces an incredible effect. After using the lotion, my face feels fresh and clean. Even though I indulge in sweets a lot, my face remains in excellent condition. I would like to give a special thanks to the store for frequently hosting promotions with gifts in the form of miniature versions of the products. Thanks to this, I had the opportunity to try almost all the products from the Effaclar series and purchase full-sized versions of the ones that suited me and left a good impression.

It contains 20% alcohol, which is too much. Indeed, it does dry out the skin, but it also dehydrates it severely. I definitely do not recommend it for problematic skin.

I really liked this lotion. It's exactly what I needed for my oily skin. It has a great effect in smoothing out the texture and providing a gentle exfoliation. However, the price is a bit high, especially considering that it doesn't last very long.

I forgot to mention that, despite its expiration date being three years ago, the product did not spoil at all.

Good lotion, suitable only for oily skin. It doesn't dry out or tighten the skin.

I am buying this lotion for the second time and I really like this product. But I also want to separately thank Makeup, I really like this online store, everything is so well thought out and convenient. Thank you very much!

I highly recommend it. Both my boyfriend and I have combination skin, and this tonic definitely suited us. Our skin has improved, and blackheads have reduced significantly.

It has a pleasant scent, but it tends to dry out the skin and then the skin becomes oily faster. After using it, I feel the need to wash my face again. Unfortunately, it didn't help my skin; in fact, more than half of the bottle ended up in the trash.

I decided to try this brand and after 2 weeks, I started seeing results. Now, I have ordered their facial cleanser and cream. I really liked it.

Definitely 5 stars. I have been using the facial cleanser and toner from the same series for a year. My pores are clean, sometimes I even press with a spoon and completely cleanse them. I have oily and porous skin. I want to say that the matte effect on my skin lasts longer than it used to. The mattifying cream rolls off, it didn't work for me. I want to try a peeling in the fall, I will leave a review for it as well. Wishing everyone beauty.

I don't know who wrote these reviews, but I feel the need to write one too. It is important to consider your skin type when choosing products. In this case, it's not about the tonic, as the tonic works wonderfully. I have bought it multiple times and it has never dried out my skin. After using it, my skin feels clean and healthy. Please take your skin type into account. Thank you, Maykap, for providing quality products.

I must say that I personally assigned this product to myself. Perhaps this is where the problem lies. My skin used to have breakouts (which are now gone because I have been treating it and correcting it with professional equipment). However, this toner definitely had an exfoliating effect, as it dried out my problematic but not oily skin and caused it to peel in some areas. I didn't notice anything good about it. By the way, my cosmetologist recommended a toner with acids, but from the professional cosmetic brand Biologic Research, and it doesn't dry out my skin!

This tonic is terrible... I threw it away almost immediately. It simply dries out the skin and I didn't notice any positive effects for normalizing oily problematic skin.

If you want to try it out, just wash your face with alcohol for a couple of days. The effect is very similar.

I've never written reviews before, but I have to now! After reading reviews, I think everyone's skin reacts differently to this tonic. So why bother buying such a terrible product? If you didn't like everything about it, sell it or throw it away. And you should really pay attention to what you're buying, consider your skin type. Of course, if your skin is dry, this lotion won't be suitable. And if you're just buying it because it tightens pores and you have dry skin, then bingo, it won't work.

Now, about the lotion. The lotion is great. It suited me perfectly. My skin feels smooth after using it and over time, my pores have decreased. However, I didn't notice any improvement in my skin tone. It does sting a little, especially on fresh pimples. I use it together with the gel and cream from this brand, and they work great. I'm already finishing my second bottle and will definitely order more.
