La Roche-PosayEffaclar Clarifying Solution Acne Toner with Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid, Pore Refining Oily Skin Toner, Gentle Exfoliant to Unclog Pores and Remove Dead Skin Cells

I love this product! It works very well on combination to oily skin, and makes my face feel clean. I use it one to two times a day and it doesn't over-dry. I am in my 40's, but with sensitive skin, and it works very well for me. I also love the convenience of it being shipped directly to me, rather than visiting a brick and mortar.

I’ve been using this facial toner for a few weeks now, and I’m absolutely loving the results! It has truly transformed my skin. My complexion looks brighter and more even, and it has helped balance my skin, reducing the occasional breakouts I used to struggle with. The best part is how light and refreshing it feels on my skin — it absorbs quickly without any greasy or heavy residue. My face feels clean, hydrated, and smooth after each use. This toner has definitely become a staple in my skincare routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin's texture and glow!

I finally, at the ripe age of 31, am taking my skincare routine more seriously and have recently sold my soul to La Roche-Posay and am really glad I did. I honestly love all of their products and this toner is no exception. I use it right after I use their cleanser and before applying their serums and I feel like it was the missing step in my routine. It's often easy to overlook toner or downplay its benefits but this one not only feels effective but is also affordable and will last you a while. I think La Roche-Posay is top notch and I'm really glad I incorporated this into my routine. And I have oily/sensitive skin and this has not irritated it at all which always feels like a major victory! *I want to update this review and add that I unfortunately have not been able to use this toner for about 3 weeks since I ran out during my travels and WOW do I notice a big difference in my skin and not in a good way. My pores are clogged again and look larger and I gave acne on my forehead where I previously didn't when using this toner so having used it and then briefly not, I can say with even more confidence now that this toner is effective and really does help you have clear, healthy skin.

Love this toner! Doesn’t smell bad and helps control my oily skin while also helping with dark spots. Doesn’t dry out your face and isn’t super harsh.

This clarifying solution has been a game-changer for my skin. Within a week, I saw fewer breakouts and tighter pores. It exfoliates gently but effectively—no stinging or flaking like I’ve had with other toners.I use it a couple of times a week after cleansing, and it preps my skin perfectly for moisturizer. It’s become a permanent part of my routine—clear results without harsh side effects.

works great

I have highly acne-prone skin that’s oily but dries out easily. I’ve tried everything from Retin-A to high-concentration salicylic acid, and I’ve finally found a routine that keeps my acne at bay and doesn’t dull my skin. This toner is the cornerstone of that routine! (I buy every month, not given a product in exchange for a review.)1. La Roche Posay’s face wash from this line, which contains salicylic acid, morning and night. I wash my face with this and a SOFT (like the texture of a makeup brush) exfoliating brush. Wait for face to dry.2. This toner, morning and night, applied with a soft cotton pad. Wait for skin to dry.3. One or two of the following:- Clinique's clinical salicylic acid spot treatment, usually every morning. It’s expensive but worth it.- Acne.com (the Regimen) glycolic acid lotion. I use this about every other night when my skin is dry and needs exfoliation.- La Roche’s benzoyl peroxide “duo” cream from this line. I can apply this as an all over treatment if I have an oily skin situation, or as a spot treatment on top of one of the above options (after allowing each step to absorb and dry completely).Some tips and things I’ve noticed by reading through the negative reviews for this product:1. This is a toner, not an astringent. If you’re expecting it to sting, it won’t, and it shouldn’t!2. This is a toner, not a cleanser. You need to use it in addition to a cleanser.3. This is a toner, not a spot treatment or all over treatment. You need to use a treatment after using your toner for the best results.The best way to think of using this product is that it acts as a supplement to your cleanser, removing any leftover impurities, and as a precursor to your treatment cream by opening up the pores.The negative reviews I’ve seen are because of confusion between a toner, an astringent, a cleanser, and a treatment. If you know and understand what a toner is and that’s what you need, this is an amazing product!

I saw a lot of reviews that said that the bottle came busted or tampered with so i was expecting it to come busted up but i had my hopes 🤞🏼 I’ve used this toner to soak some cotton pads in a container and use them as toner pads, they are definitely getting lint and dirt and all little specks off my face even after i’ve cleansed, feels very refreshing and has a cooling almost fresh minty feel, my face defiantly look more glowy immediately after use so far it has looked like it evened the appearance of my texture a bit will most likely rebuy if it improves my texture!! i do have a bit of sensitive skin but i feel like if your really sensitive maybe that cooling effect may put you off. But it did not burn or irritate my skin AT ALL it very much felt like it was putting moisture back into my skin after my cleanser!! feels nice
