“I love this, it soaks in well and leaves my skin feeling plump and smooth, excellent protection too, I have rosacea, so needed a good sun cream that agreed with my sensitive breakout-prone skin. This worked very well.” – Rebecca, FTF Customer

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ Ultra Concentrated Serum

Designed to address the unique concerns of oily and acne-prone skin while tackling the early signs of ageing, this La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ Ultra Concentrated Serum harnesses the exfoliating properties of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and LHA to unclog your pores and encourage healthy skin renewal, revealing a clearer, smoother complexion.

The old product I was using I think had just become too heavy and greasy to suit my ageing skin.” – Ann, FTF Customer
