Style: Effaclar Salicylic Acid Serum
“This serum feels luxurious and high quality. A little goes a long way, and it layers well under moisturizer and makeup. My skin looks brighter, healthier, and well-nourished.”

  • Great dark spot remover
Style: Effaclar Salicylic Acid Serum
Love anything from La Roche! Great product, little to no scent, goes on very thin and non sticky. Saw improvement in skin appearance within days. Make sure to pair with a moisturizer as it will cause dryness.

  • If you’re debating buying this here’s your sign! This is truly the only product that has helped me!
Style: Effaclar Salicylic Acid Serum
I love this serum SO MUCH!!!!!! So so so so much! This is the only La Roche Posay product I’ve tried and I think I had maybe seen a TikTok about it? I can’t remember exactly where I heard about it but I’ve been using it for a year now and it’s improved my skin IMMENSELY!!!!!!!!!!! The one downside is my skin gets bad again if I stop using this product for even two days but that’s not their fault. I’ll say it’s a really good bandaid fix. It even got rid of my milia bumps on my eyes after a week or two of use when I had the bumps for multiple years at that point. I hope everyone with acne gets to try this and I hope it works for you guys too! This got rid of all of my face and body acne and I’m truly relived to have found a product that actually works on my skin. ... show more

  • Improved skin over time
Style: Effaclar Salicylic Acid Serum
UPDATE: I've continued to use my bottle up, and over the months I have noticed that my skin's texture has improved a lot, and I've had less acne. I was too quick to judge before, although I still think the product smells bad ORIGINAL: La Roche Posay's salicylic acid face wash is my go to cleanser, so I had high hopes for this serum. Unfortunately, I don't think it's worth the cost. Other serums I've used, such as Philosophy's salicylic acid serum, have been cheaper, smelled better, and worked the same ... show more
