La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel Wash

Deeply cleanse your skin with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel Wash, an exfoliating cleanser for the face and body which is suitable for blemish-prone, oily skin.

The face wash intensely and hygienically cleanses skin and targets imperfections, such as acne and blackheads, on the face and body. It penetrates skin to unclog pores of dirt and impurities and deeply exfoliates. This process removes dead skin cells, leaving a visibly smoother, softer and cleaner complexion.

The Purifying Gel Wash regulates sebum secretion, whilst also removing excess sebum from the skin. Not only does this stop the skin from appearing oily, it also unblocks the build-up of oil in the pores.

The foaming gel is enriched with high-efficacy ingredients. Salicylic acid and LHA work to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores, whilst the addition of zinc helps to purify the skin and reduce sebum. The formula is also enriched with La Roche-Posay's thermal spring water, which has soothing properties that treat inflammatory skin conditions, while gently refreshing the skin.

As well as a blemish-prone complexion, back acne is another troublesome area for many people. The skin on your back is 5 times thicker than the skin on your face, so bacteria and sebum can easily build up and result in back acne. This wash is suitable for both the face and body, and effectively targets persistent issues on the back.

Why We Love It

Products aimed at oily and blemish-prone skin types are often too abrasive for sensitive skin. What we love about this product is that La Roche-Posay has made this effective yet gentle cleanser suitable for sensitive skin as well. The minimalist formula is hypoallergenic, while still intensely purifying and cleansing the skin.

How To Use It

Pump a few drops of the gel wash into your hands and work into a foaming lather. Massage onto skin, and rinse off with warm water.
