| Moisturizers & Creams

La Roche-Posay Effaclar MAT Mattifying Moisturizer is a lightweight, oil-free face moisturizer formulated to hydrate oily and shine-prone skin while reducing the appearance of excess oil and enlarged pores. It provides a matte finish without clogging pores, making it suitable for oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin. Dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic, the formula combines micro-exfoliating Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) with hydrating glycerin and soothing La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water. Its fast-absorbing texture leaves skin looking smoother and less shiny and can also be used as a mattifying base before makeup—particularly useful in Lebanon's warm, humid conditions.

Effaclar MAT is best suited to excess oil, persistent facial shine, enlarged-looking pores and uneven skin texture, especially when skin still needs lightweight hydration. Its non-comedogenic, oil-free formula also makes it appropriate for oily, acne-prone skin. In Lebanon's heat and humidity, its mattifying finish can be particularly useful for complexions that become noticeably shiny during the day.

• Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) — a derivative of salicylic acid with micro-exfoliating and skin-surface-renewing properties that helps refine uneven-looking texture.
• Glycerin — a humectant that attracts water to help maintain hydration without relying on a heavy, oily texture.
• La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water — selenium-rich thermal water used for its soothing and antioxidant properties.

Yes. Effaclar MAT is specifically formulated for oily and shine-prone skin, and La Roche-Posay also identifies it as suitable for oily, acne-prone skin. The formula is oil-free and non-comedogenic, so it is designed to moisturize without clogging pores.

Does Effaclar MAT clog pores or cause breakouts?
Effaclar MAT is labelled non-comedogenic by La Roche-Posay, meaning it is formulated not to clog pores. This makes it a suitable moisturizer when excess oil and clogged pores are concerns, although individual skin responses can vary.
