How to Use:
Wet the face, then dispense a small amount into clean hands and work it into a gentle lather. Massage carefully over the skin, avoiding the eye area, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Begin with once-daily use to see how your skin responds, gradually increasing if needed and tolerated. If dryness or peeling develops, reduce the frequency and follow with a suitable moisturizer. During the day, complete your routine with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
With La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser, every wash becomes more than a quick rinse—it becomes a consistent step toward pores that look clearer and skin that feels cleaner and more controlled. Its combination of acne treatment and targeted exfoliation offers dependable support for breakout-prone complexions, helping you approach each day with fresher-looking skin and greater confidence.
