THE SCIENCE BEHIND

New scientific discovery: in the skin’s microbiome, blemish-causing bacteria is composed of several biological types called phylotypes. Research found that a lack of diversity among phylotypes and a predominance of phylotype IA1 is associated with blemish proliferation and severity.

Innovation - New Phylobioma active ingredient, inspired by microbiome science with proven efficacy on blemish-prone skin, helps target phylotype IA1 to help reduce blemishes and sebum over-production at source. Clinically tested on all skin tones : phototypes from 1 to VI.

Apply this lightweight moisturiser morning and evening to the entire face avoiding the eye area. Can also be used on back & chest. As with introducing any new active ingredient into your routine, there may be a period of adjustment, so we suggest you start use every other evening & build up. If you have any concerns speak to a brand expert by booking in a 1:1 appointment, or use Spotscan+ to check which Effaclar is right for your blemish journey.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Gamechanger I am 67with oily skin and have always been troubled with spots. Recently my skin has been really bad with all sorts of bumps and spots appearing. I forgot that I had received a sample if this cream and decided to use it. I was a bit reluctant initially as my skin can be very sensitive at times. I truly cannot believe the difference this cream has made to my skin. Within the first couple of days I noticed a difference. I only use it at night after applying a face serum . and I rarely get a spot. This product, for me, is amazing. I only wish I started using it sooner. I have currently been using it for one month.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from miracle product I've seen such a difference using this product. My skin is much clearer, blemishes go away much faster. My boyfriend also steals this and loves this product a lot

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Does the job I have used this cream in warm season when my skin gets prone and I have acne. It helped a lot with the acne, clear it in a few days and the pores looks much better. I have used it only once at every 2 days because it my face gets too dry. But I very happy with the results and I will continue using it on warm season

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Doesn’t work This product does not do what it says. While it feels great on the skin it completely broke out my cheeks. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt and continued using it for over a month, however before using this cream I used to get a two or three spots on my cheeks then once I started using this cream I was getting 10+ spots. I stopped using it for a few days and my spots completely disappeared. Due to this I will no longer be using this face cream. I believe it’s best to use a light weight moisturiser even with spots as all the ingredients listed in blemish prone products just irritate the skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from good product and it works well great product and really works for me but I cannot use it on daily basis as it is too strong and irritates my skin

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must have I received a sample of this and I am truly impressed. The texture is thick, yet lightweight. This works amazingly at reducing the oils on my face while keeping it moisturised at the same time. I noticed improved skin texture, and less blemishes. Overall this is my favourite moisturiser and I completely recommend.
