La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser -100ml
Gentle Face Wash for Oily and Sensitive Skin
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is a dermatologist-tested daily face wash explicitly engineered for oily, combination, and sensitive, acne-prone skin surface profiles. Formulated with selected cleansing agents to maximize tolerance, this gentle gel transforms into a soft, lightweight foam that effectively lifts away dirt, makeup, and daily environmental impurities. Infused with zinc pidolate to reduce the appearance of excess surface shine and oil, it leaves the skin feeling clean, refreshed, and perfectly balanced without inducing dryness or tightness.

Ultra-Tolerance Cleansing Base: Soap-free, alcohol-free, and oil-free formulation designed to minimize the risk of skin irritation.
Thermal Spring Water Base: Enriched with La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water to comfort, soothe, and cool easily sensitized skin types during cleansing.

Hero Ingredients
La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: A naturally mineral-rich water base that delivers soothing, anti-irritation conditioning to sensitive skin layers.
Zinc PCA (Zinc Pidolate): A functional cosmetic ingredient known for its ability to regulate the appearance of surface sebum and clarify oily skin.
Coco-Betaine: A gentle, coconut-derived surfactant that creates a rich foaming lather while remaining exceptionally mild on the skin surface.
Suitable For
Skin Types: Optimized for oily, combination, and sensitive skin profiles.
Skin Concerns: Excess shine, surface oiliness, daily impurities, and skin types prone to surface congestion or blemishes.
Wet: Wet your face and neck thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Lather: Dispense an appropriate amount of the gel cleanser into your palms and work it into a rich lather with a little water.
Massage: Apply the foam to your face, massaging gently in circular motions. Focus primarily on the T-zone area (forehead, nose, and chin) while avoiding the immediate eye area.
Rinse: Rinse the skin thoroughly with clean water, then gently pat dry with a soft towel. Follow immediately with your daily toner, serum, or moisturizer. Use both morning and evening.

Extremely gentle on active, inflamed breakouts. It doesn't sting at all and cleanses beautifully. It takes a little extra rinsing to completely wash off the gel film, but it's worth it for how balanced it keeps my skin.

A very solid daily face wash for anyone struggling with grease. It leaves my face feeling incredibly clean. The pump on the main bottle is a bit stiff at first, but the actual product inside is absolutely top-tier.

Really great cleanser that does an excellent job controlling excess sebum. The refill pouch is very easy to pour without making a mess. Only taking off one because the formula can feel a tiny bit too drying during the peak winter months.

Absolute 10/10. It removes all traces of oil and makeup without any heavy perfume scent. My skin texture has visibly improved, and I am seeing far fewer blackheads around my nose since switching to this bundle.

I have hyper-sensitive, acne-prone skin and usually break out from foaming cleansers. This one is different because it contains no alcohol or parabens. It deeply purifies my pores but keeps my skin feeling soft and comfortable.

Incredible value bundle. I've used Effaclar for years, and buying it with the refill pouch saves so much money. It keeps my oily T-zone completely matte and balanced throughout the day without triggering any redness.

This wash completely cleared up my stubborn chin acne in a couple of weeks. It foams up into a rich, gentle lather and a tiny nickel-sized amount is all you need. I love that it’s soap-free and doesn't irritate my sensitive cheeks.

My holy grail cleanser for oily skin. It cuts through grease and sunscreen effortlessly without leaving my face feeling stripped or tight. The refill pouch is amazing because it saves plastic and fills the bottle right up.
