Description

La Roche-Posay Effaclar H ISO-Biome is a non-greasy intensely moisturising formulation for those with oily skin weakened by over-drying skincare products or medications. It soothes and restores the hydrolipidic film, helping to restore comfort and suppleness to the skin. Suitable for acne-prone skin and sensitivity.

Key ingredients include Squalane to rebuild the protective hydrolipidic film. Glycerin replenishes hydration and strengthens barrier function. Pro-Vitamin B5 can help our skin to produce lipids that are important for a strong and healthy skin barrier. Niacinamide helps improve skin tone and texture, while also strengthening the skin barrier. Aqua Posae Filiformis, a unique prebiotic biomass from La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water, is known to strengthen the skin barrier that helps support microbiome function. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water is a real wonder of nature with its soothing, antioxidant properties. Non-comedogenic. Tolerance tested on patients under oral Isotretinoin. Contains a fragrance.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: La Roche-Posay Effaclar H ISO-Biome is ideal for patients who are taking over-drying medications to treat acne such as oral Isotretinoin. This treatment can be severely drying on the skin making skin sensitive and inflamed. It instantly hydrates, giving the skin a smooth texture and it helps to restore the skin’s protective barrier.

    This product is absolutely amazing ! It’s so difficult to find a nice moisturizer for dry acne prone skin but this works wonders – leaves my skin soft and limits breakouts

    Hmm… I can’t decide if I like it or if this is the reason I broke out this week. So I’ve stopped using it to see.

    It’s smaller than expected. Light weight/water-based type moisturizer.. nice fragrance. I’m just comparing it to another brand of moisturizer that’s made my skin feel amazing. Was hoping this could be my day cream. So will keep testing it out.

    My go-to everyday moisturiser. It’s nourishing without being rich and works incredibly well under make-up.

    Truly a great product, I use it as my day cream after I have applied my toner and Hyaluronic acid. It’s nourishing and lightweight without congesting one’s pores. It leaves my skin feeling supple, nourished and fresh.

    Such an amazing product that gives you an instant glow without it being oily. Works well for my blemish prone but dry skin.

    Lightweight but moisturising, this is my new favourite moisturiser – it works great layered under sunscreen and makeup, and it is not too oily. My sensitive skin has not reacted to it. The only complaint I have is that I cannot buy it by the litre
