What Is Effaclar Micro‑Peeling Purifying Gel 400ml?
La Roche‑Posay Effaclar Micro‑Peeling Purifying Gel is a daily exfoliating gel cleanser formulated especially for oily, acne‑prone skin. It combines gentle exfoliating agents (salicylic acid and LHA), sebum‑regulating zinc, and a formula with physiological pH to purify skin, refine texture, and reduce breakouts. Despite its deep cleansing power, it avoids over‑drying or irritating the skin. Suitable for use on face and body.

FAQs About Effaclar Micro‑Peeling Gel 400ml
Q: Can I use this every day?
A: Yes — for many people, once or twice daily use works well. But if skin becomes irritated or overly dry, reduce to once per day or alternate days.
Q: Is this okay to use on sensitive skin?
A: It’s formulated to be gentle, but because of the exfoliating acids, patch testing is recommended. Sensitive skin users may want to start with less frequent use.
Q: Can I use it with other acne treatments or acids?
A: You can, but be cautious. Combining with strong acids, retinoids, or other exfoliants may increase irritation. Introduce one product at a time and monitor skin response.
Q: Should I moisturise after using this?
A: Yes — following up with a non‑comedogenic, hydrating moisturiser helps maintain the skin barrier and reduces dryness.
