La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Micro-Exfoliating Face Lotion
Hurry up, only 10 items left in stock.
If your pores look stretched and your T-zone shines an hour after cleansing, you need more than a basic toner. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion micro-exfoliates with LHA to physically tighten pores while purifying active ingredients control sebum production all day.
Key Benefits
- Micro-exfoliates with LHA: lipophilic acid gently removes dead cells clogging pores without irritation
- Tightens dilated pores: astringent action visibly refines texture so your skin looks smoother
- Dissolves blackheads: purifying actives target sebum oxidation that causes dark plugs
- Regulates oil production: sebum-controlling ingredients keep shine at bay for hours
- Thermal spring water base: selenium-rich formula soothes while treating
- Non-comedogenic: will not clog pores or trigger new breakouts
Key Ingredients
LHA (lipohydroxy acid): micro-exfoliating molecule that is gentler than salicylic acid yet clears dead cells from inside pores to prevent blackheads. Sebum-regulating actives: purifying ingredients that control oil production and reduce shine throughout the day. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: selenium-rich water that calms irritation and protects your skin barrier during exfoliation.

How to Use
Use morning and evening after cleansing. Soak a cotton pad with lotion and sweep across your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Do not rinse. Follow immediately with Effaclar Duo+M or Effaclar K+ moisturizer. For best results, pair with Effaclar Foaming Gel cleanser. If irritation occurs, reduce to once daily.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this lotion every day?
Yes, you can use Effaclar Astringent Lotion morning and evening on cleansed skin. If you experience any dryness or irritation, reduce to once daily until your skin adjusts, then gradually increase frequency.
Do I need moisturizer after this toner?
Yes, always follow with an oil-free moisturizer suited to acne-prone skin. This lotion refines and purifies but does not hydrate. For best results, use Effaclar Duo+M or Effaclar K+ after application.
Will this lotion dry out my skin?
No, the formula is designed to tighten pores and control sebum without stripping your skin barrier. The thermal spring water base soothes as it exfoliates. However, sensitive skin should start with once-daily use.
Can I use this with retinol or prescription acne treatments?
Yes, but introduce slowly. Apply the lotion in the morning and your retinol or prescription treatment at night to minimize irritation. If flaking occurs, alternate days until your skin builds tolerance.
