Description

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel is a daily exfoliating cleanser that addresses congestion, refines pores, and improves skin clarity. Suitable for oily, acne-prone skin on the face and body.

Key ingredients include 2% Salicylic Acid that helps to unclog pores, refine skin texture, and prevent blemish-reoccurrence. Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) gently exfoliates and refines pores. Zinc deeply purifies the skin and helps reduce sebum. Menthol has soothing and antibacterial properties as well as a refreshing effect. Fragrance-free. Hypoallergenic. Physiological pH. Dermatologically and allergy-tested.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel contains exfoliating agents that help clear dead skin cells and build-up in pores, leaving skin feeling refreshed, clean, and clear. A non-sticky gel texture acts on persistent imperfections and sebum while bringing comfort to acne-prone skin, including on the body. In addition, to being a clarifying cleanser for the face, it will do well for those suffering from backne (acne on the back).
