La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel Cleanser - 200 ml
Description
Deeply cleanse, micro-exfoliate, and target persistent breakouts across your face and body with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Cleansing Gel (200 ml). Engineered specifically for oily, acne-prone skin dealing with severe imperfections, persistent blemishes, and stubborn post-acne marks, this intensive purifying formula sloughs away dead skin cells and unblocks congested pores without physical harsh scrubbing.
As featured on the teal tube, this versatile gel cleanser combines 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) with micro-exfoliating LHA. It effectively dissolves deep-seated sebum, reduces the appearance of blackheads and body acne (such as backne and chest breakouts), and leaves skin visibly clearer, smoother, and refreshed.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Face & Body Dual Action: Specially formulated for daily use on both the face and targeted body areas prone to breakouts (chest, shoulders, and back).
-
Targets Severe Imperfections: Clinically designed to reduce persistent acne, stubborn blemishes, and rough, bumpy skin texture.
-
Gentle Micro-Peeling Action: Exfoliates dead skin cells and removes excess oil without physical abrasive micro-beads.
-
Fades Post-Acne Marks: Accelerates cell renewal to help lighten dark spots and lingering marks left behind by old blemishes.
-
Refreshingly Non-Sticky: Clear gel texture creates a soft, purifying lather that rinses clean without leaving a tacky or dry residue.
-
Dermatologically Tested: Tested on oily, acne-prone skin to ensure maximum efficacy with optimal skin tolerance.
Active Key Ingredients
-
2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): Penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess oil, clear blockages, and reduce active acne inflammation.
-
LHA (Lipo-Hydroxy Acid): A gentle micro-exfoliant that refines skin texture, unclogs pores, and stimulates cellular turnover.
-
Zinc: Purifies the skin surface and helps regulate excess sebum production for a balanced, shine-free finish.
-
La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: Rich in natural antioxidants and minerals to calm, soothe, and comfort irritated, breakout-prone skin.
How to Use for Best Results
-
Wet: Dampen your face and/or body with lukewarm water.
-
Lather: Dispense a dime-sized amount of gel onto wet hands and work into a soft foam.
-
Massage: Gently massage into the skin using circular motions, paying extra attention to areas with breakouts or congestion (T-zone, chest, upper back).
-
Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with water and gently pat dry with a clean towel.
Tip: For body acne (such as back or chest breakouts), allow the lather to sit on the affected area for 1–2 minutes before rinsing to maximize the penetration of the 2% Salicylic Acid.
