My skin savior: La Roche-Posay Effaclar K

As many of you may know, studying for exams take up A LOT off time. When something takes a lot off my time, that means less time for 'not life essential' things. Somehow, taking good care off my skin, was one off those things. Once neglected it's not so easy! Red spots have unfortunately found their way to my mouth/chin area and seemed too be impossibly stubborn about staying there.
Another thing, when studying hard, is the no money factor. So I tried a tester I'd gotten a while ago. It's the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo and the La Roche-Posay effaclar K.

They are both anti blemish, micro fine exfoliating and good as a base for makeup. The Effaclar Duo is the one your supposed to start with and once you've gotten the spots under control you switch over too the effaclar K anti-relapse. Or! You can use Effaclar K all over and use the Duo as a spot treatment, as it is a bit stronger.
You use them morning and night after you've cleansed your skin. 

It works wonders! In the first two days I could see a significant difference in my skin. As I kept going it got better and better! I should tell you though, that it doesn't give a lot of moisture, which is great for my oily skin (especially the K which is made for oily skin), but might be a problem for one with a tendency too very dry or just dry skin. I put it on all over my face and at night I use a light layer on - let it dry - and then put on my nightcreme for moisture. As an unbeliavable bonus, it keeps my skin matte all day!


If you, like me, had very bad breakouts I can definately recommend this! But if you have dry skin, then you might eant to use this during the day and a more heavy creme at night to infuse some moisture into your skin (or the other way around, whatever works for you). It smells a bit funky, but as far as I'm concerned, if it works, I don't care about it!

It's around 12-15 £ for a full size so nothing that'll break the bank - good for me 'cause I'm going to purchase this once I run out off my current tester (a little goes a long way with this product).
