Oh NO!!! If you are like most; you probably experience breakouts when its that lovely time of the month {thank you Mother Nature}, when your stressed out, or lets face it… you diet has not exactly been the best {Thanks to french fries}. I have been experiencing some mild cases lately of breakouts. And let me tell you….. I am NOT a fan!!! I assume it can be stress related; but in all honesty it is probably due to the crappy diet I have been lately adhering to. {fast food, fast food, and… well, more fast food}. So on an effort to control these pesky breakouts I have been on the search for some prime acne spot treatments. I recently did a post of what to look for in a spot treatment {here}, so between good ol’ fashioned mud masks, I have found the perfect combo that is currently working for my skin. {NOTE- usually to find out if it works… you should give a product at least 1 month of trial and error. Although it is easy to give up when it doesn’t work right away}.
Have you ever had that moment when you look in the mirror…. and gasp?!? At what you’re probably asking…{dun..dun..dun….} another pimple has appeared.

I have heard tons, and TONS of hype about La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo, this ‘ wonder in a bottle’ is supposed to help dramatically reduce pimples, white heads, blackheads, and clogged pores almost immediately. Did it live up to the hype?!?
In have been using this product in heavy rotation since I bought it. {I am that weirdo that looks in the mirror and thinks that there is something there, when usually there isn’t .. I know… BAD!!!} This product is hands down AH-MAZING!! And I am a die hard fan at the moment. I slap this on both morning and night after I have toned my face with my trusty Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner {to help with the picking and lighten the spot left from picking} and before my moisturizer/beauty oil concoction. Almost instantly I saw a HUGE difference in my pore size, my current pimple disappeared almost overnight {LOVE} and the redness of a upcoming pimple was almost immediately dissolved. I LOVE this stuff!!!
I picked mine up at the CVS by my house on a recent drugstore shopping whim for about $30. At first I was extremely hesitant about joining the hype {since a few products that had much hype.. did NOT work so well for me {think allergic reaction/massive skin purging stage}… I am a more trial and error kind of gal}. Although it seems slightly pricey at $30, I have a feeling that this tube{you get 1.35 fluid oz} will last quite a long time; especially since you need just a pea size amount for most areas. Containing 5.5% benzoyl peroxide {which is dermatologist limit almost; I think this may be one of the strongest products that you can get without a prescription over the counter}. Formulated with benzoyl peroxide to help dramatically reduce blemishes, deep clean and penetrate pores to clear those pesky whiteheads and blackheads and topped with LHA to help soothe and exfoliate skin… I officially declare that the HYPE was so WORTH IT!!!
Let me tell you… I am NOT sure how I managed to get through puberty without this product. As we get older, especially when you hit your 30’s…. we sometimes start to experience something better known as “adult acne”. {I guess it must be all those lovely hormones changes that we start to experience}. This product will be my go to product the help combat that pesky ‘adult acne’ phase. The one thing that I can totally say… my skin is much clear, my pores are very clear, and I will use this product until my skin gets tired of responding to it , and then on to the next…
What are some of your favorite spot treatments? I am always on the prowl for something new… I would love to hear.
