La Roche-Posay Effaclar Ultra Concentrated Serum

Tackle and treat your breakouts with the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Ultra Concentrated Serum, an exfoliating and clarifying serum for blemish-prone and oily skin.

This ultra-concentrated anti-breakout serum for adult acne is the latest addition to La Roche-Posay’s Effaclar collection, which focuses on reducing breakouts, blemishes and spots. The lightweight gel serum tightens pores while regulating the production of oil for a more balanced complexion, as well as helping to minimise the appearance of spot and acne marks.

The Effaclar serum uses a trio of acids to resurface and refine the complexion. Pores are deeply unclogged thanks to salicylic acid, which helps prevent blackheads and blemishes forming. LHA offers a gentle exfoliation to slough away dead cells, while glycolic acid clarifies the skin and encourages cell renewal, leaving you with radiant and clearer skin.

What’s more, the hardworking formula also contains skin-loving niacinamide. As well as helping to reduce irritation with its anti-inflammatory abilities, it also reduces the appearance of pores, brightens up dark spots and reinforces the skin’s barrier to combat moisture loss and dehydration.

The finishing touch to this supercharged serum is the inclusion of La Roche Posay’s thermal spring water. This has a unique mineral composition and is packed with antioxidants to calm skin and reduce irritation.

Why We Love It

The La Roche-Posay serum is a must-have for anyone who struggles with adult acne. Spot-prone skin is something that’s often thought of as “just for teens”, so we love the fact that La Roche-Posay has thought about all of the adults who struggle with blemishes and breakouts and created a powerful formula especially for adult skin.

Despite being packed with acids and hardworking ingredients, the gel-textured serum is still super lightweight. The formula absorbs without any stickiness, and has a slight sterile fragrance due to the effective ingredients within – but the scent disappears quickly.

How To Use It

Apply every evening as part of your daily skincare routine. Massage into the skin avoiding the eye contour.

Tip: Remember to always use suncare in the days after you’ve been using this serum. It’s always important to protect your skin from the sun, but especially after using acids as your skin can be more sensitive to its rays.
