La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micropeeling Cleansing Gel is a dual-action gel cleanser formulated with Salicylic Acid (BHA) and LHA (Lipo-Hydroxy Acid). It deeply purifies pores while gently exfoliating dead skin cells, reducing blackheads, unclogging pores, and refining skin texture for a clearer, smoother complexion. Soap-free, non-comedogenic, and dermatologist-tested for oily and acne-prone skin.
Apply to wet face and neck. Massage gently in circular motions for 1–2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use morning and/or evening. Start with once daily and increase frequency as tolerated. Follow with SPF during daytime use. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes.
Key actives include Salicylic Acid (BHA), LHA (Lipo-Hydroxy Acid), and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water. Refer to product packaging for the complete and most up-to-date ingredient list.
Actual product packaging and materials may contain more and different information than what is shown on our website. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product.

Start with once daily and increase frequency gradually as your skin tolerates it, following the guidance on the pack.
Yes, exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity, so use a sunscreen during the day, especially after morning use.
It's formulated for oily and acne-prone skin; if your skin is very reactive, patch test first and speak to a pharmacist if irritation continues.
Introduce other actives like retinol or vitamin C gradually and not at the same time, to avoid over-exfoliating the skin.
Check the pack — some variants are formulated for face and body use, while others are for the face only.
