If your pores look clogged and your skin stays rough no matter what you try, a targeted salicylic acid serum can change that. La Roche-Posay Effaclar works inside the pore lining, clearing oil and dead cells at the source. Your skin looks clearer and more even, day after day.
Key Benefits
- Deep pore clearing: Salicylic acid dissolves oil and dead cells inside pores, not just on the surface.
- Fewer breakouts over time: Regular use helps stop new blackheads and blemishes from forming.
- Visibly refined pores: Controlled sebum makes your pores look smaller and skin smoother.
- Even skin texture: Chemical exfoliation smooths rough patches for a more uniform complexion.
- Sensitive-skin tested: Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested to minimize irritation on reactive skin.
- Lightweight finish: Absorbs fast and layers easily under your moisturizer or SPF.
Key Ingredients
Salicylic Acid: A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that works inside the pore to dissolve excess oil and dead skin buildup. Glycolic Acid: A gentle alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that resurfaces skin texture and smooths rough patches. LHA (Lipohydroxy Acid): A salicylic acid derivative that exfoliates gradually for less irritation on sensitive skin. Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that calms redness, tightens the look of pores, and supports the skin barrier.
How to Use
Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin every other evening. Smooth evenly across your full face, or focus on your T-zone and breakout-prone areas. After one to two weeks, increase to nightly use if your skin feels comfortable. Always apply SPF the next morning, as salicylic acid raises sun sensitivity. Layer a gentle moisturizer on top to keep your skin barrier healthy.
