Banish Blemishes with La Roche-Posay

Those pesky blemishes can arise at the worst times – everything from an important business meeting to your best friend’s wedding. Getting rid of them in a flash can be difficult (unless you make a visit to a dermatologist); the key is finding a great spot treatment. I thought I found some fabulous ones in the past, but the La Roche-Posay Effaclar AI Intensive Acne Spot Treatment may be the best that I’ve tried to date.

The Effaclar AI Intensive Acne Spot Treatment uses a combination of lipo-hydroxy peroxide (LHA) and a micronized form of benzoyl peroxide to fight off blemishes. LHA is a derivitive of salicylic acid, so it helps exfoliate while benzoyl peroxide “releases active oxygen and targets acne deep in pores.” It claims to reduce blemishes with minimal irritation in only three days. It’s also an oil-free formula, which is incredibly important if you’re skin is prone to acne. I love that a little dot of this works for a blemish and didn’t leave any stickiness. It zapped my blemish quickly; from the first application to totally gone, only took a couple days. I imagine for a more stubborn blemish, it may take an additional few days. Overall, it healed without any dry spots or irritation, which hasn’t happened with any other product. Simply, this is my go-to acne spot treatment from now on!
