I too loved it. It promised to love me but it back (chin) stabbed me. Okay no more foul play. Let me take you to some flashback. From a long time, I was eyeing this so called miracle tube. Since it costs more than a thousand bucks, I always settled for something cheaper. Few months back when I was going through some hormonal acne, I decided to finally get this spot treatment and the almighty toner from the same brand. Claims: It is specially formulated to target oily skin & blemishes. It unclogs pores. It is suitable for sensitive skin. It is parabene free. Price: Rs.1350 for 40g. Packaging: Comes in a sleek white tube, which is travel friendly. Ingredients: AQUA / WATER, GLYCERIN, DIMETHICONE, ISOCETYL STEARATE, NIACINAMIDE, ISOPROPYL LAUROYL SARCOSINATE, SILICA, AMMONIUM POLYACRYLDIMETHYLTAURAMIDE / AMMONIUM POLYACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE, METHYL METHACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, POTASSIUM CETYL PHOSPHATE, ZINC PCA,GLYCERYL STEARATE SE, ISOHEXADECANE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, MYRISTYL MYRISTATE, 2-OLEAMIDO-1,3-OCTADECANEDIOL, NYLON-12, POLOXAMER 338, LINOLEIC ACID, DISODIUM EDTA, CAPRYLOYL SALICYLIC ACID, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, XANTHAN GUM, POLYSORBATE 80, ACRYLAMIDE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYLTAURATE COPOLYMER, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE, SALICYLIC ACID, PIROCTONE OLAMINE, PARFUM / FRAGRANCE Too many chemicals, my only liking among these ingredients are Aqua, Glycerine & Salicylic Acid. Texture, Colour & Smell: It is white coloured, little runny, water based lotion. The smell is nice but mild and does not linger for long. My Experience: I bought this with a lot of hopes. I had read/ heard so much about this lotion, I really expected miracles from this lotion. I initially started spot treatment with this lotion. Whenever I applied this on my face, I would feel a burning sensation, which would go away in few minutes. I felt like ‘oh , it means it’s working’. The spots were going really fast. As my skin got little used to the burning sensation, I started applying this on my whole face in a hope to prevent further breakouts. I think that worked too. There very really no active zits after using this for a week. I felt like it was controlling my hormonal acne too. After a week, I realised, my chin was bumpy, ouch. First, I didn’t even suspect, that this miracle treatment could be behind this bumpiness. I hardly break out around my chin. After noticing them for few more days, I started feeling that Effaclar lotion might be behind this. I thought, I was applying it too much or something. I stopped using it. the bumps stayed. I feared they would never go. My that time of month arrived & the hell broke loose on my chin. Every single bump was an active zit now. I was so disappointed and frustrated that I really cursed myself for getting that lotion. And that’s how my trust in La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo + was lost. After such a big heart break, the savoir(s) came into my vanity. FaceCline Gel & Biotique Bio Clove were God Sent. Facecline was advised by a dermatologist while Bio Clove facepack was a personal choice. God helps you, when you are really in distress. Likes: The consistency of the lotion is runny and water based. Absorbs very quickly into matte finish. Contains Salicylic Acid which is a boon for acne prone skin. Sleek packaging which is travel friendly. Pimples heals within few applications. Parabene free. Dislikes: The hefty price or the chemical laden ingredient list is nothing compared to the mess it created. It broke me out like crazy. End of Story. Final Words: Every one who owns this cream vouch for it, but what it did to me, makes me believe that every skin is different and might behave/react differently to same product. Will be back with reviews on the acne skin saviours pretty soon. Till then read on Cheryl’s Derma Cleanse AHAGlow Face Wash Stay High, Stay Fab.
