La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser
dermatologist-tested acne face wash -100mL
QR85.00
Designed to target stubborn breakouts, clear active acne, and prevent new blemishes from forming. Formulated specifically for oily and acne-prone skin, this foaming cleanser deeply purifies without stripping the skin of its essential moisture.
Key Benefits
Maximum-Strength Acne Treatment: Formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid (a beta-hydroxy acid or BHA) to clear acne blemishes, blackheads, and whiteheads by exfoliating deep inside the pores.
Reduces Excess Oil and Shine: Contains Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA), a derivative of salicylic acid that micro-exfoliates the skin and helps eliminate excess surface oil and sebum.
Deep Pore Cleansing: Effectively washes away dirt, impurities, and makeup residue that can clog pores and trigger breakouts.
Soothes and Comforts: Infused with La Roche-Posay Prebiotic Thermal Water, rich in natural minerals and antioxidants, to help calm irritated skin and support a balanced skin microbiome.
Skin-Friendly Formulation: Tested on sensitive skin, oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic (won't clog pores).
Step-by-Step Instructions for Use
Wet Your Skin: Splash your face with lukewarm water to prep the skin for cleansing.
Dispense and Lather: Pump a quarter-sized amount of the gel cleanser into your wet hands and work it into a rich lather.
Massage Gently: Gently massage the lather onto your face in circular motions, paying special attention to breakout-prone areas like the T-zone, chin, and cheeks. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes.
Leave On Briefly (Optional): For stubborn acne, you can let the lather sit on your skin for 1 to 2 minutes before rinsing to allow the salicylic acid more time to work.
Rinse Thoroughly: Splash lukewarm water over your face to completely remove all traces of the cleanser, then gently pat dry with a clean towel.
Frequency: Use twice daily—once in the morning and once at night. Note: Because 2% Salicylic Acid can be drying, if you experience excessive dryness or peeling, reduce usage to once a day or every other day.
