How to use Effaclar Serum within your skincare routine

Our new Effaclar Duo(+) Ultra-Concentrated Serum is the latest addition to the Effaclar family and is designed to help you care for blemish-prone skin while visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles. This double action can help to simplify your skincare routine and get better results in the process. Here’s everything you need to know about introducing it into your daily regime.

How does it work and who is it for?

Effaclar Duo(+) Ultra-Concentrated Serum is suitable for those with oily, blemish-prone skin who are also concerned with ageing signs. It targets blemishes, reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and marks, tightens pores, and regulates sebum production. It is also suitable for acne-prone skin.

It does this with a formula, enriched with salicylic acid, LHA and glycolic acid, that help unclog pores, visibly smooth the skin’s surface.

How should I use it within my routine?

Start your routine by cleansing your skin with Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser. (This is particularly important in the evening as it will remove pollution, makeup and sunscreen from the skin and leave the pores clear). Follow this with Effaclar Duo(+) Ultra-concentrated Serum and a few drops of Hyalu B5 Serum for an additional anti-ageing effect.

If you feel that you need extra hydration, especially in winter, apply a thin layer of Toleriane Dermallergo Soothing Fluid to soothe and hydrate the skin. Don’t forget that in the morning, a broad-spectrum sunscreen such as Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50+, should always be applied.
