• Use approximately a pea-sized amount and gently smooth over the entire face and neck using circular motions.

It is specifically formulated for oily, blemish- and acne-prone skin in teenagers and adults, including sensitive skin. Its combination of blemish care and SPF30 is useful for daytime routines, although dedicated high-protection sunscreen remains important during significant sun exposure.

• LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) – A micro-exfoliating lipohydroxy acid that helps unclog blocked pores and improve the appearance of blemish-related marks.

Does La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ SPF30 work for acne and blackheads?

It is specifically formulated for oily, blemish- and acne-prone skin and helps visibly reduce both spots and blackheads. LHA micro-exfoliates and helps unclog blocked pores, while niacinamide helps address the redness and visible size of blemishes.

Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ SPF30 good for post-acne marks?

Yes. La Roche-Posay states that Effaclar Duo+ SPF30 helps reduce the appearance of the red and brown marks often left behind by blemishes. Its SPF30 UVA/UVB protection is also important because UV exposure can contribute to persistent visible pigmentation.

What's the difference between Effaclar Duo+ SPF30 and Effaclar Duo+M?

Effaclar Duo+ SPF30 combines anti-blemish care with SPF30 UVA/UVB protection, making it particularly suited to daytime use. Effaclar Duo+M is La Roche-Posay's newer anti-breakout moisturiser focused on blemishes, blackheads and sebum regulation, while Duo+ SPF30 specifically incorporates daily photoprotection.

Can I use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ SPF30 every day and under makeup?

Yes. It is formulated as a daily moisturising treatment and can be incorporated into a morning skincare routine before makeup. For extended outdoor exposure, apply a dedicated facial sunscreen over it and reapply according to the sunscreen's directions.
