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 Perfect skin This moisturiser is everything my skin needs: it makes it acne free, cleans the pores and shrinks them, moisturises it and it works as a primer too. I love how my makeup looks after applying it, as all products I’ve used so far for my acne probe skin would make my skin dry, flaky or greasy, not being able to apply any type of foundation. This is great. I love the smooth scent and the amazing texture too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant Really great product can already see results in a few days and skin feels much smoother

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing formula I really love this product. It absorbs really well into my skin, mixes into all of my other skincare really well and it’s a godsend for somebody with dry blemish prone skin which isn’t one of the main skin types. This looks out for hydration and acne both post during breakouts!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not bad Gentle I received this product from La roche posay as a member of the Community and I had big expectationsas I am a big fan of the original La Roche-Posay-Effaclar Duo(+). Similarly to the original one it's fragrance free, non irritating, non comedonic and makes my oily skin matte. I combine it with the cleanser from the same range. I've been testing it already for 4 weeks but haven't noticed any improvement with my post-acne marks, maybe it takes longer time to work. Also, the acne around my problematic area hadn't reduced, but I don't consider it to be due to this product. I am hopeful that results will be visible in a few weeks. Overall not a bad product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this! This moisturiser does so many things at once! Its formula recognises the needs of skin prone to breakouts and provides nourishing moisturising benefits but at the same time, works to eradicate things that cause breakouts in the first place, genius! The ingredients are fab: Salicylic Acid: Oil-soluble exfoliant that helps clear blocked pores and refines texture Lipo-hydroxy Acid: A chemical exfoliant ideal for blemish-prone skin Niacinamide: Known as vitamin B3, helps to brighten the complexion Zinc PCA: A hydrating active, derived from naturally occurring amino acids I found that the texture of the moisturiser, being in gel form was really soothing, cooling and refreshing on my skin. It felt light to apply and absorbed really well. I could use under makeup without issue and there was no piling. I definitely felt that my skin was clearer after using this over a few weeks. My skin texture and tone looked improved and it was visibly smoother and my pores looked better. I also noticed that it worked really well with oil control. It managed excess shine and helped me achieve a more matte finish over time. Despite it having micro exfoliant properties, it didn’t feel harsh, drying or irritating. It left my skin feeling hydrated and well moisturised throughout the day. Overall I was really pleased with the results and look forward to seeing more as time goes on!

It’s great for sensitive skin and it hasn’t caused any irritation to my skin either.
