If your breakouts return to the same spots cycle after cycle, excess oil and clogged pores are the culprit. La Roche-Posay Effaclar K stops that pattern by regulating sebum at the source and clearing congestion daily. Your skin stays matte for 8 hours, pores look tighter, and the breakout cycle finally breaks.

Key Benefits

  • 8-hour oil control: Carnitine reduces sebum production at the gland so shine stays away all day
  • Clears recurring breakouts: LHA exfoliates inside pores to dissolve the sebum plugs that cause repeat blemishes in the same zones
  • Refines skin texture: Gentle daily exfoliation accelerates cell turnover for smoother, more even tone
  • Minimizes pore appearance: Unclogs and visibly tightens enlarged pores with consistent use
  • Suitable for sensitive skin: Dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic formula safe for daily use

Key Ingredients

LHA (lipo-hydroxy acid): A gentle salicylic acid derivative that exfoliates the skin surface and deep inside the pore, breaking down sebum plugs responsible for blackheads and recurring blemishes. Carnitine: Actively reduces oil secretion at the sebaceous gland, cutting shine at its source for 8-hour matte control. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: Selenium-rich water soothes and protects sensitive, acne-prone skin.

How to Use

Apply morning and evening to cleansed, dry skin. Dispense a small amount and smooth evenly over your entire face, focusing on your T-zone, nose, and chin where oil and blackheads concentrate. Let absorb for one minute before applying moisturizer or makeup. Always follow with SPF 30 or higher in the morning. Avoid contact with eyes. Start once daily if new to exfoliating acids.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Effaclar K under makeup?

Yes, Effaclar K works as a makeup base. Apply to cleansed skin in the morning, let it absorb for one minute, then apply your foundation. The matte finish helps makeup stay shine-free longer.

How is Effaclar K different from Effaclar Duo?

Effaclar K focuses on oil control and preventing recurring breakouts with 8-hour anti-sebum action. Effaclar Duo+ is a stronger anti-blemish treatment that targets active pimples, blackheads, and post-acne marks. Use K for prevention, Duo for active breakouts.

Do I need to use sunscreen after applying this?

Yes, always follow with SPF 30 or higher in the morning. LHA is an exfoliating acid that increases sun sensitivity. Skipping sunscreen can lead to dark marks and irritation. La Roche-Posay Anthelios works well over this fluid.

Can I use Effaclar K morning and evening?

Yes, apply morning and evening to clean, dry skin. Start with once daily if your skin is sensitive to exfoliants, then increase to twice daily after one week if no irritation occurs.
