Effaclar H

On the advice of the dermatologist, I used this face cream in the morning and evening while taking my roacutane treatment. Roacutane makes your skin very sensitive and thin and much of what you put on your face can irritate and redden. For example, I had that I put a level on my face at some point and it was going to sting all the time. I haven't had that with this cream and it also feels a little bit cooling. It protected my skin well against the feeling of dryness during this cure. I didn't put anything else on my face during this period. But when I stopped taking the cure, I noticed that this cream was not super hydrating, it made my fine lines more visible and I switched to another cream. The price is low and I would recommend it to anyone who also takes this cure.

Finally a product that does what it promises! I have very dry skin because I use medication (roaccutane) for my acne. Searching on the internet for how to dry my skin became Effaclar H by La Roche-Posay. I used Effaclar Duo+ before but I wasn't completely satisfied with that anyway. At first I had doubts about trying Effaclar H but I had a taste of the pharmacy. It's very nice to smear and it absorbs quickly. It has no peculiar smell and it smears very easily. You only need a little bit. My face wasn't dry after 2x lubrication and it remained that way! Now I smear it occasionally when I notice my face is getting drier, but that may be only weekly. I also notice that redness in my face decreases and blemishes become less visible. A really nice product and a must for those who suffer from dry skin, especially if you're using roaccutane!

Currently, I use this cream almost every day in the morning before I (possibly) apply my makeup. After all, I was looking for a hydrating cream that would stop my skin from shining like that. Overall, I like the cream, but I feel like my skin will shine again after a while (but maybe this is inevitable). It absorbs quickly into the skin, which I really like when I want to apply my SPF day cream on top (or possibly some makeup) in the morning. Overall, I think this is a great cream that ensures that my skin stays hydrated every day. Update: I experienced a huge irritation yesterday after applying this cream followed by my daily spf cream. Not sure how this happened, I think my skin was extremely dry and that these 2 products didn't work very well together on my dry skin after all.
