La Roche-Posay Effaclar


Todays review is on a couple of products that were bought on a complete whim, due to a fab offer in Boots, that I now can't imagine living without.

I will admit I can be somewhat fickle when it comes to skincare products as I am always wanting to try out the latest hyped up things, but these are by far my faves of the moment. 

While browsing the shelves of Boots on my lunch break recently, I came across the La Roche-Posay section and noticed the amazing offer of two Effaclar products for £15! Bearing in mind the Effaclar Duo retails at £13.50 on it's own, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try these out.

I'm not usually one to rave about a product until i've been using it for a while but I have been SO amazed by these that I couldn't wait. 

I've been using both products morning and night for the last week and have been shocked at how quickly the few blemishes I had have disappeared and how much better my skin is looking. I was abit wary about the Astringent Lotion as I don't like to use harsh products on my face, however I have had no problems with it at all. It leaves the skin feeling really fresh, clean and tingly after application. The Effaclar Duo has turned out to be a great makeup base, with my foundation applying and looking better than it has for ages and the added benefit that it has cleared up my skin!

You can purchase La Roche-Posay products from most Boots stores, and if you hurry you can snap them up for a bargain price like me!

Have you had any 'on a whim' products that have turned out to be firm favourites?
