How to Use

Apply a small amount to damp skin. Work into a lather between your palms, then massage gently over your face using circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with water. Use every morning and evening as the first step in your routine. Follow with a treatment like Effaclar Duo+M if you have active breakouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this cleanser twice a day?

Yes, the pH 5.5 soap-free formula is gentle enough for morning and evening use. Its purifying agents remove excess sebum without stripping your skin barrier, making it safe for daily cleansing on acne-prone skin.

How is the refill different from the original?

The refill contains the same trusted formula in a 400ml eco-friendly format. You reduce packaging waste while getting more product. The cleansing performance, pH balance, and thermal spring water concentration remain identical to the standard bottle.

Will this foam strip my sensitive skin?

No, this soap-free gel is formulated specifically for sensitive skin prone to oiliness. The pH 5.5 formula and thermal spring water soothe as you cleanse, removing impurities without the tight, dry feeling many acne cleansers cause.

Does this help with blackheads on the nose?

Yes, consistent daily use visibly reduces blackheads over time by removing excess sebum and debris from pores. For deeper pore clearing, pair this cleanser with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion or Effaclar Duo+M after cleansing.
