The verdict

Paying $11.00 more for La Roche-Posay buys you benzoyl peroxide.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo adds benzoyl peroxide (strong evidence) that CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum doesn't have. On consumer consensus, CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum holds 4.3★ across 13,700 reviews vs La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo's 4.3★ across 8,900 reviews. The extra $11.00 for La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo is defensible for the added benzoyl peroxide.
