  1. Cleanse to lift dirt & excess oil from the skin surface. Effaclar Gel Cleanser is suitable for oily, blemish-prone skin. Rinse with water & avoid the eye area. ​
  2. After cleansing, apply Effaclar Duo+M Anti-Blemish Corrective Gel Moisturiser onto your fingers. Blend evenly over your face. Allow the product to fully absorb before layering on top. ​
  3. Follow with daily sun protection with a minimum of SPF30. We recommend Anthelios UVMune 400 Oil Control Fluid.
  4. For fast-acting results on early or raised spots, use Effaclar Duo+M 3HR Spot Patches. Wear for 3-8 hours, in the daytime or overnight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing I love the gel texture of this cleanser. It is in a convenient pump bottle and dispenses easily. It foams well when combined with water and leaves my skin feeling clean and cared for. Since using this my skin is clear and blemish free.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Too drying Have been using this for about a week and it is too drying. Currently dealing with super taut skin and dry patches, and the skin around my eyes is super sensitive. Maybe not recommended to use twice a day, but I’m a bit disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing cleansing gel 🩵 This is a super gentle cleansing gel designed for oily and combination skin. 🩵 In my opinion, it does an amazing job at removing excess oil, impurities, and even makeup without disrupting the skin barrier, leaving the skin feeling perfectly clean and fresh. 🩵 It contains Zinc PCA, which helps regulate sebum production and calm inflammation. 🩵 With regular use, my skin feels clean, refreshed, and way less shiny. It’s the perfect first step that preps your skin for the rest of your skincare routine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fresh, Gentle and Great for Oily Skin [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cleanser leaves skin feeling fresh, clean, and less oily without feeling tight or stripped. The gel texture foams nicely, removes excess oil well, and helps keep skin balanced throughout the day. It’s gentle enough for daily use and works especially well for oily or blemish-prone skin. A reliable everyday cleanser that helps keep skin clear and refreshed.
