La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro Peeling Purifying Gel 200ml

Achieve a cleaner, smoother-looking complexion with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel 200ml. Specially formulated for oily and acne-prone skin, this purifying cleansing gel combines exfoliating and sebum-purifying ingredients to target clogged pores, excess oil and persistent imperfections.

The formula combines Salicylic Acid to help deeply unclog pores, Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) for gentle micro-exfoliation and pore refinement, and Zinc to help purify the skin and reduce excess sebum.

Its comfortable gel texture can be used on both the face and body, making it particularly useful for oily or blemish-prone areas such as the face, chest, shoulders and back. La Roche-Posay describes the formula as having a physiological pH and being tested under dermatological control on oily, acne-prone skin.
