La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Micro-Peeling Gel
Hurry up, only 10 items left in stock.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Gel targets the stubborn buildup that clogs your pores daily. Unlike a basic cleanser, this gel micro-exfoliates your skin while it washes. Use it daily and watch your pores clear, your texture smooth, and breakouts fade.
Key Benefits
- Deep pore purification: actively unclogs blocked pores to visibly reduce blackheads and congestion.
- Gentle micro-exfoliation: resurfacing action smooths your skin texture without causing irritation.
- Sebum control: removes excess oil for a cleaner, less shiny finish all day.
- Spot fading over time: consistent use progressively reduces the look of post-acne marks.
- Breakout prevention: daily use stops new imperfections before they form.
- La Roche-Posay formula: dermatologist-developed so even sensitive, reactive skin stays comfortable.
Key Ingredients
La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: the brand's selenium-rich spring water calms irritation and reinforces your skin barrier throughout cleansing. It keeps the formula safe for daily use on reactive skin. Micro-peeling complex: targeted resurfacing agents dissolve surface oil and dead cell buildup that blocks your pores. Used consistently, this complex visibly reduces blackheads and smooths rough texture.

How to Use
How to Use
Apply a small amount to wet skin each morning, evening, or both. Massage over your face in gentle circular motions to build a light lather. This activates the micro-peeling step. Extend to your chest, shoulders, or back for body breakouts. Rinse thoroughly with water afterward. Use consistently for several weeks to see real improvement in pore clarity and texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this gel safe for sensitive acne-prone skin?
Yes, it is dermatologist-tested and developed specifically for sensitive, acne-prone skin. The formula contains La Roche-Posay thermal spring water to minimize irritation throughout cleansing. Start with once-daily use and increase to morning and evening as your skin adjusts over two weeks.
Can I use this while pregnant?
No, this product contains micro-peeling agents that may include exfoliating acids. These are typically not recommended during pregnancy or while nursing. Consult your dermatologist or OB-GYN before use. A fragrance-free, non-exfoliating cleanser is a safer option during pregnancy.
How long until I see results from this cleanser?
Most users notice smoother texture and fewer visible blackheads within two to four weeks. Post-acne marks typically fade over four to eight weeks of consistent daily use. You will see the best results using it both morning and evening without interruption.
Can I layer this with my retinol serum at night?
Yes, use this gel as your first step, then apply retinol serum after rinsing. Avoid layering a separate chemical exfoliant on the same night as this cleanser. Using a micro-peeling wash and a retinol together risks over-exfoliation on sensitive skin.
How is this different from other La Roche-Posay cleansers?
This is the only Effaclar cleanser that actively micro-peels your skin with every wash. Other La Roche-Posay cleansers, like Cicaplast B5, focus on repair and calming. This gel resurfaces and cleanses in one step, making it the right choice for blackheads and oily texture.

Finally found a US site that actually ships authentic French pharmacy products.
Order arrived in 4 days, perfectly packaged. Vichy Mineral 89 is the exact same formula I buy in Paris.
Had a question about Biafine and got a real reply the same day from someone who clearly knew the product. No chatbot nonsense.
I was skeptical about ordering skincare from overseas. Everything arrived tracked and perfect.
