La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel is a dermatologist-developed facial cleanser specifically formulated for oily, blemish-prone and sensitive skin, transforming from a clear gel into a rich, refreshing foam that lifts dirt, excess sebum and surface impurities away from the skin without over-drying or disrupting the skin's natural moisture balance. Zinc PCA, a zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, is the key active ingredient that works to purify the skin, reduce excess oil production and visibly mattify the complexion throughout the cleansing process, while the new Phytobioma active ingredient, developed from microbiome science, targets the strain of bacteria responsible for blemishes and imperfections to help reduce them with regular use. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water forms the base of the formula and provides its characteristic soothing and anti-irritant benefits, calming the skin during cleansing and making the gel suitable for even the most sensitive and reactive skin types. The pH-optimised formula respects the skin's physiological acid mantle to avoid over-stripping or exacerbating sensitivity, and the formula has been tested for non-comedogenicity on acne-prone skin. Recommended to use as the first step of the Effaclar routine, followed by Effaclar Duo+M and daily SPF protection.
