Effaclar Acne Serum for Oily and Acne Prone Skin 30ml

| Serums & Treatments

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Acne Serum is a lightweight exfoliating treatment serum formulated to clear blemishes, unclog pores and reduce post-acne marks in oily and acne-prone skin. It combines 1.5% salicylic acid, glycolic acid and Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) with niacinamide to target pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, enlarged pores and uneven skin texture. Dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic, the clinically tested formula delivers progressive improvements in blemishes and marks with consistent use. Its Triple Acid Complex promotes exfoliation at the pore and skin surface while niacinamide supports a more even-looking complexion, making it particularly relevant for adult acne and persistent post-breakout marks. Available from The DistriQt in Lebanon.

• Shake well, then apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin, concentrating on affected areas and avoiding the eye contour.
• Start with one application daily, especially when introducing exfoliating acids into your routine.
• La Roche-Posay states that application can gradually increase if needed and tolerated; reduce frequency if excessive dryness or peeling occurs.
• Do not apply to peeling or compromised skin, and do not rinse the serum off after application.
• Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning because glycolic acid can increase sensitivity to sunlight; La Roche-Posay advises limiting sun exposure during use and for one week afterwards.

• Clears active acne blemishes and helps prevent new breakouts with 1.5% salicylic acid and complementary exfoliating acids.

• Fades the appearance of post-acne marks, with a reported 49% improvement after four weeks.

Effaclar Acne Serum is best suited to active pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, clogged or enlarged pores, post-acne marks and uneven skin texture. La Roche-Posay recommends it for acne-prone skin, including adult acne. In Lebanon's high-UV climate, consistent sunscreen is particularly important when using its exfoliating AHA/BHA combination.

• 1.5% Salicylic Acid — a beta-hydroxy acid that exfoliates and helps clear clogged pores, making it particularly relevant for oily and acne-prone skin.
• Glycolic Acid — an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that increases surface cell turnover to improve uneven-looking tone and texture.
• Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) — a salicylic acid derivative that provides micro-exfoliation and supports skin-surface renewal.
• Niacinamide — vitamin B3 used to help visibly fade discoloration; La Roche-Posay also identifies it as supporting the skin barrier against moisture loss.

Does La Roche-Posay Effaclar Serum work for acne and blackheads?
Yes. The serum is formulated to clear acne blemishes and prevent new breakouts while targeting blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores. La Roche-Posay reports a 45% reduction in pimples and 21% reduction in whiteheads and blackheads after four weeks in clinical testing.

Is Effaclar Acne Serum good for post-acne marks?
Yes. Niacinamide helps visibly address discoloration, while the Triple Acid Complex promotes exfoliation and skin renewal. La Roche-Posay reports a 49% improvement in post-acne marks after four weeks of use.

Can I use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Serum with retinol?
The official product directions do not provide a specific retinol-layering protocol. Because Effaclar Serum combines salicylic acid, glycolic acid and LHA, using it in the same routine as another strong exfoliating or retinoid treatment may increase irritation; introduce active products cautiously and follow the directions of your dermatologist when using prescription acne treatments.

Can I use Effaclar Serum every day?
Yes. La Roche-Posay recommends starting with one application daily, then increasing gradually if needed and tolerated. If dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application frequency, and use daily sun protection.
