Effaclar MAT Cream

I’ve been really impressed with this moisturiser. It has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, leaving my skin feeling soft and comfortably hydrated. It helps keep excess shine under control throughout the day and sits well under makeup without pilling. A little goes a long way, and it hasn’t irritated my sensitive skin. If you have oily or combination skin and want a moisturiser that hydrates while giving a more matte finish, this is definitely worth trying.

My favourite daily face cream. Lovely texture, not too thick. I use it daily and it works great on my skin. I have a combination of oily but sometimes still dry and this is the best cream I’ve found yet. Non greasy at all.

Genuinely the only brand that doesn’t make my skin break out like crazy, I love it. I also use the blemish treatment and the Matte SPF50 sunscreen, all are great!

Fabulous product! I struggle with oily skin and this makes me face moisturised without leaving it feeling okay throughout the day. Do wish it was a bigger bottle though!

Excellent cream, i have very sensitive skin, cleared up my dry skin areas and keeps oil under control. My pores have shrunk! Can't recommend enough!

The difference in my pores is incredible, they were so open, now barely visible unless you look real close. It’s not perfect mattifying but dam well close. Just wish this had spf to it and this would be perfect.

Skin type: Acne prone, Sensitive, Dehydrated I bought this when I didn’t know my skin was lacking water. Sadly it did not fit my skin type as it felt like it damaged my moisture barrier. However, it did reduce my oil almost completely so if you are not very sensitive and get oily throughout the day this is a perfect moisturiser for you.

Fantastic gel like moisturiser for greasy acne skin. Lightweight, absorbs quickly. You only need a small amount for the whole face. Expensive, but worth it.

**************************PRO TIP**************************** I took the advice of another reviewer and cut off the bottom of the tube to see if I could get any more out, and sure enough, there was a treasure trove of extra moisturizer at the top near the opening that will last you another week at the minimum. When you reach the end of your bottle, definitely cut it open, because this stuff is expensive. I was able to carefully wrap the tube up and store it in a plastic baggie with all the air squeezed out. In total, this tiny bottle lasted from the beginning of August until mid-October for me. ******************************************************** Review: Previously, I've never in my 23 years of life ever been able to have clear skin (other than before puberty). I've always had acne. I always took great care of my face (washed twice a day, avoided touching it), but nothing ever worked. All of the other things on the market (even the supposed #1 dermatologist recommended) never did anything for me; none of the dermatological-prescribed creams, pills, or face washes could ever touch me. I have combination skin: oily/greasy city in some places, and dry as the Sahara in others. If you have it too, you have my sincere condolences, because I think that up to this point in my review, we have had the same experience. Until this brand. Unlike other moisturizers, it's not heavy. It doesn't feel like it's cake. It's light and my skin breathes. It moisturizes the dry spots and doesn't irritate or inflame the acne-prone oily spots. I live in Texas - AKA sweaty city - and I swear, this stuff still doesn't feel like it's heavy on my face, even when it's 105 out. I've never moisturized before because of my acne and my stupid combination skin, but after buying this, I can see that it's possible. You get what you pay for with this stuff. Now, price-wise, it is a little much. And the bottle is laughably small. But like other reviewers mentioned, a little bit really goes a long way. I do a tiny pea-sized dab for each cheek (which you can push to cover your nose and chin/upper lip) and another for my forehead and that's worked well for me. It spreads very, very easily. The smell doesn't bother me; other reviews mentioned a chemical smell, but I wouldn't really put it like that. It just smells like cream. I wish I'd had this stuff at 14. Maybe my life would've been different. Do yourself a favor and buy this. You will not be sorry. **edit** I wanted to come and edit this review to specifically mention the importance of using this moisturizer in combination with the face wash. The face wash I bought along with this is La Rochay Effaclar Purifying Gel. I am always so instinctively skeptical and wary about using anything that claims to "moisturize" my face, so after about 2 months I stopped applying this moisturizer after every wash and started only doing it a few times a week - bad, bad, BAD idea. My face in turn began producing oils to compensate for the drying effects of my face wash. After all, the face wash is more on the acidic side. After trial and error, I'm here to tell you that yes, you need to use this stuff every time you wash your face. It doesn't make me break out whatsoever unless I skip one of these two products. Do not skip this important step! Face wash alone is not enough to keep your face clear (if you have combo skin like me).

Llevaba mucho rato queriéndola comprar y hasta al fin se me hizo, yo tengo la piel grasa, sensible y con tendencia a acné, además vivo en un lugar donde hace mucho calor y aparte es húmedo, por lo que la mayoría de las cremas siempre las sentía pesadas, me sacaban acné, me irritaban o tardaban mucho en absorber, pero esta no, se absorbe súper rápido, no te deja la cara brillosa y además si te ayuda a calmar los brotes de acné. La he puesto a prueba a la hora que me voy a la uni que es como a las 12-2 pm, donde a esa hora hace mucho sol y es donde mis productos de skincare suelen tardar más en secarse o me suelen dejar la cara brillosa, pero esta crema a pasado la prueba, súper matifica y lit no la sientes (y eso que soy alguien que es muy cosita con las texturas y siente hasta cuando el poro se le tapa jaja). Sin duda alguna la recomiendo, no tiene fragancia, por lo cual no te irrita la piel.

Ich bin super zufrieden mit der Creme, sie mattiert tatsächlich, meine Haut fettet nicht so schnell nach, sie hat einen angenehmen Geruch und ist sehr ergiebig, eine kleine Menge reicht. Sie wird auf jeden Fall nachbestellt wenn sie leer ist. Endlich habe ich eine Creme gefunden die zu mir und meiner Haut passt!

Good buy.

Ho acquistato questa crema perché ho la pelle grassa e cercavo un prodotto che controllasse la lucidità senza seccare il viso, e devo dire che fa esattamente ciò che promette. La consistenza è leggera, si assorbe in pochi secondi e lascia immediatamente una sensazione di pelle fresca e opaca. ​Dopo qualche settimana di utilizzo costante, ho notato anche una visibile riduzione dei pori dilatati nella zona T. Offre una buona idratazione che dura tutto il giorno, senza appesantire. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, la consiglio assolutamente
