I have very oily, blemish prone skin with occasional dry patches. I've always found it hard to find a moisturiser that plumps up my skin without making it go into oil overload and result in my make up sliding off my face. This is an amazing no frills cream. After using it for a few weeks my skin is left feeling plump and balanced. I use it day and night and find it is just the right amount of moisture for my skin type. It works great under my foundation, making it last all day and it is great at minimizing the look of dry patches when they occur. I have already repurchased my second bottle as I do not want to run out!

I have been using La Roche Posay Effaclar series for 10 years, and it is the best for my acne prone skin. A few months ago while in Paris i discovered this new line Effaclar H, and purchased it to test it. It was great, therefore i decided to fond it in the UK. From my experience, I would say that if you suffer from some bad acne skin go for the traditional Effaclar, if your acne is better than it used to be, go for the Effaclar H, its great! No spots and hydrated skin! Very smooth and soft. No parfume that is great as well! Definitely will recommend. Regarding Escentual fantastic service and reasonable prices. Will come back as a buyer!
I have to say I was dubious about purchasing this moisturiser. I was really worried it would be far too moisturising for my oily, acne prone skin. I was totally wrong and so glad I bought it! I use it at night after cleansing and it feels amazing. My skin is smoother and hydrated. I have used so many harsh acne treatments over the last 12 years that have dried my skin out making it oily and super sensitive I need this boost at the end of every day. I cannot believe I never found La Roche Posay Effaclar products sooner they have changed my skin for the better!

I love this moisturizer as I'm on medication for my acne and it dries my skin out quite badly. Before I used this product, I went from high street brand to expensive ones but my skin still pealed and stayed flaky. After using this product for the past 3 weeks, I can see that my skin doesn't get very oily like before (my skin is very oily that you can actually do stir fry on my face!) and it doesn't flake or peal when I put on my acne cream
