Product review. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Range

Hey everyone! As some of you already know, I have extremely oily, acne-prone skin with stubborn marks which don't seem to vanish! I decided to try out this range after my sister Ishika Sachdev (from @thebeautyreel) convinced me to do so, since it really helped her skin! For the past one month, I have noticed a drastic improvement in the texture of my skin and the marks seem to clear out too! I'm really happy with the result and I'm definitely going to re-purchase this product once I get done with it! It's important to be consistent- use these products twice a day everyday! :) Hope you liked my review!

The 3 products I reviewed are:
1. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel Moussant, 50ml - Rs.425
http://bit.ly/1SdbX2K

2. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo + 40ml - Rs.1300

3. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, 50ml - Rs.490
