Great for oily, acne prone skin!
This product has helped clear my skin, I suffer from oily and acne prone skin and now I don’t suffer from oiliness, spots or blackheads! After using it my skin feels thoroughly clean, fresh and smooth. Love it and can’t live without it!

Finally feeling good!
I bought this a couple of months ago along with the effaclar duo moisturiser, serozinc spray, and cleansing gel. It took a month but my skin finally cleared up! I’ve had cystic acne for years, with none of the regular supermarket brands able to even touch it without making it worse. I tried this combination and my skin feels so much better.
The clarifying lotion feels soothing and dries my usually oily skin up without it drying it out too much. I read reviews about it stinging but I have only experienced that when my breakouts are sensitive, otherwise it feels quite soothing.

My saviour
I used the toner of this product that came in the blemish free kit and together with the effecular Duo my problem skin became problem free. The redness was evening out. Unfortunately the cleanser didn't work for me so purchasing the kit is not cost effective to me. You cannot buy the toner separately and La Roche Posay advised this is the closest product. I've been using it for a week and so far so good. It certainly seems to keeping up the good work of the toner. From someone with adult acne which went out of control for 6 months these products really are my saviour.

Would not be my first choice
The product that was sent to me was the La Roche Posay astringent toner.
The second ingredient is alcohol denat, and although normal to oily skin types may benefit from this, it can also break down the skin barrier and make the skin more sensitive. Upon first use I have a blind pimple emerge which caused deep scarring and without a whitehead it was difficult to get rid of or treat.
I have since then used it several other times and have no reaction. Those with sensitive skin may find this too harsh for their skin. Although it has alcohol within, it also has glycerin which assists with moisture retention. Salicylic acid is present as well as BHA, which exfoliates the skin on a deeper level.
I am familiar with BHA products and have used BHA products, this product leaves me to question whether the salicylic acid is truly working for the skin. I have not seen drastic changes for the skin but fear that it will make my re-built and repaired skin barrier break down due to the high alcohol content.
Overall, this product is a 2/5 for me. The 2 being the astringent is useful potentially for days where the skin is feeling very oily, especially during the summer, however, this may further dehydrate the skin so it can be a hit and miss. I have always been fond of the packaging for La Roche Posay products but this product leaves me question whether LRP has the formula correct.
Personally I wouldn't choose an astringent, and use a toner that combines AHA and BHA - not only is that toner a lot more gentle than the astringent, I also have yielded better results and maintained healthy skin.
I would recommend this product to consumers who are familiar with astringent, or those with quite oily and problematic skin. I have improved my initial skin condition with aid of astringent so this is not completely awful.

tightening problem pores
I am 65 and have always had open pores on my nose and over the last year these
have become problematic with the pores becoming bumpy (no spot head) and looking
like a raised blister (no liquid). I guess could be due to some type of hormonal changes as
my diet is good and healthy and I exercise (not manically!) regularly. I have used it
and have found it, in my case, to be extremely effective and although have only been
using it for about three weeks am very happy with the results. At the moment both in the evening and end of day but will probably reduce it to just the evening shortly.
I guess it could be quite drying soI make sure that I moisturise well after using it.

So refreshing!
Ive used this for just under a week, along with the foaming gel and the Effaclar Duo moisturiser and the visible difference is amazing. I've actually just left for work with no make up on for the first time in years! It does sting for a couple of minutes after using it, but I think that compromise is definitely worth the confidence boost its given me :)

Lovely toner
Have been using this lotion for over a year now every morning and evening and really can see a difference. Bleadheads are gone, it leaves my skin tonen, refreshed and clean. And it does not dry it out. Would not change it to anything else ever!

Great if you have sensitive skin.
I have oily, blackhead prone skin. So this was right up my street BUT it didn’t do anything for my skin, I found my skin more oiler and a lot more blackheads on my nose. After looking at the ingredients all the good stuff is very low on the list, so I see why this is for sensitive skin. If you’re not sensitive I’d go with something else.
