Key Benefits
Clears Active Breakouts: Deeply cleanses and purifies the skin to quickly reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and painful hormonal pimples
Regulates Sebum & Anti-Shine: Normalizes overactive oil glands, providing a 24-hour mattifying effect that prevents your face from turning greasy midday.
Unclogs and Shrinks Pores: Uses micro-exfoliating lipo-hydroxy acid (LHA) and salicylic acid to dissolve dead skin cell plugs hidden deep inside dilated pores.
Fades Post-Acne Marks: Infused with niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Procerad to stop dark red or brown hyperpigmentation marks from setting into permanent scars after a pimple heals.
High Skin Tolerance: Completely oil-free, non-comedogenic (won't block your pores), and safe for sensitive skin prone to sudden irritation.
What is Inside the Pack & How to Use It
The pack contains three synergistic steps that should be used consistently twice a day (morning and night).
Step 1: Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser (The Purifier)
What it does: Removes 99% of surface dirt, daily pollution, and excess sebum.
How to use: Wet your face with lukewarm water. Squeeze a dime-sized amount into your palms and rub them together to create a rich lather. Massage gently onto your skin, focusing on oily zones like the forehead, nose, and chin. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
Step 2: Effaclar Clarifying Solution Toner (The Pore Unclogger)
What it does: Combines 0.5% Salicylic Acid and 2% Glycolic Acid to swipe away microscopic dead cells that cause blemishes.
How to use: Dampen a clean cotton pad with a few drops of the toner. Gently swipe the pad across your entire face, avoiding your direct eye area and lips. Do not rinse it off; let it air-dry for 60 seconds.
Step 3: Effaclar Duo Dual Action Treatment (The Acne Corrector)
What it does: A thin gel-cream that attacks bacteria inside active blemishes while smoothing out your skin texture.
How to use: Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto your fingertips. Smooth a thin, even layer across your entire face. If you experience localized peeling, you can use a tiny dot directly on individual pimples as a targeted spot treatment.
Crucial Precautions
Always Apply Sunscreen (AM): Because this kit contains exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA), your skin will be more vulnerable to sun damage. Finish your morning routine with a non-comedogenic sunscreen like the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Fluid to prevent your melasma or acne marks from darkening.
Expect Some Initial Dryness: Your skin may feel slightly tight during the first two weeks. If flaking occurs, reduce the toner and treatment steps to once every other day until your skin builds tolerance.
