Your oily skin doesn't need harsh stripping, it needs smart sebum control. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel removes excess oil and clears clogged pores while calming your skin. The zinc-rich formula keeps your barrier intact every wash.
Key Benefits
- Controls oil at the source: Zinc PCA actively regulates sebum production for a balanced, matte finish that lasts all day
- Unclogs pores without stripping: Removes impurities, makeup residue, and blackhead-causing buildup while preserving your moisture barrier
- Calms reactive, blemish-prone skin: Selenium-rich Thermal Spring Water soothes irritation with every cleanse
- Soap-free and non-comedogenic: Co-developed with dermatologists, tested on sensitive acne-prone skin, free from parabens and alcohol
- Builds a complete anti-blemish routine: The essential first step before Effaclar Duo+M or Effaclar K for visible blemish reduction
Key Ingredients
Zinc PCA: Regulates oil production and minimizes pore congestion by controlling sebum at the source. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: Soothes sensitive skin and reduces irritation during cleansing. Gentle surfactants (Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Coco-Betaine): Lift away impurities and excess oil without harsh stripping or barrier damage.
How to Use
Use morning and evening on damp skin. Dispense a small amount onto your fingertips, lather gently, and massage in circular motions across your face and neck. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry. Follow immediately with Effaclar serum or moisturizer. Consistency is key for visible oil control and clearer pores.
