  • Great even for sensitive skin
I have sensitive skin and I am thrilled at how soft my skin feels and how ir is improving. I am only one week in and I already see a difference. Already thinking about another bottle because I don't want to run out. This was highly recommended by a coworker who has beautiful skin. Now I know why. Great product. Easy to use. No peeling that I was concerned might happen. There is hope for me yet ... show more

  • A total lifesaver for sensitive, acne-prone skin! A total lifesaver for sensitive, acne-prone skin!
This product is incredible! It has noticeably helped reduce my acne and does a fantastic job of unclogging my pores. It is very gentle and perfect for sensitive skin. I love using it because it always manages to remove extra dirt (shown in the photo) and residue even right after I just washed my face. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Great solution, lasts long enough to justify the price
This solution works really well to help keep my skin clear and I use it after I cleanse my face. I don’t go a day or night without it as my skin starts to break out if I don’t use it. It keeps my skin from being too oily and keeps the tone even. I bought it to help shrink my pores which it doesn’t quite do, but it does help keep my skin clear so I’ve continued to use it and have been for a couple years now. It usually lasts me around 6 months, which justifies the price for me, and I would recommend this to anyone looking to keep their skin from breaking out (for the most part - I still get hormonal break-outs and I don’t know anything that can help that), and to keep their skin clean and healthy. ... show more

  • Best toner out there!
The best toner on the market. Does not irritate skin, cleans my pores effectively, does not dry out my skin and helps prepare my skin for serums, moisturizers and makeup! A bit expensive, but works.

  • A staple for acne skin
This toner is fine, but at times it feels not not enough for my skin when the weather gets colder.

  • Good
I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Clarifying Solution for a few weeks now, and I can honestly say it has made a huge difference in my skin. I have combination to oily skin with some acne marks and uneven texture, and this toner has helped a lot to smooth, refine, and brighten my complexion. Right after applying it, my skin feels fresh and clean without any tightness or irritation. It removes leftover impurities after cleansing and helps control excess oil throughout the day. I’ve noticed that my pores look smaller and my skin tone is more even. The formula contains salicylic acid and glycolic acid, which gently exfoliate and renew the skin’s surface. I really appreciate that it’s strong enough to work, but still gentle — it doesn’t sting or dry me out like some other exfoliating toners do. It also helps prevent new breakouts while fading old marks over time. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin soft and smooth. I usually apply it with a cotton pad before my serum or moisturizer, and it layers perfectly with the rest of my skincare routine. Overall, this Effaclar Clarifying Solution is one of the best toners I’ve tried. It keeps my skin clear, balanced, and glowing. If you have oily or acne-prone skin and want something that truly works without harshness, I highly recommend it! ... show more
