Adult acne often comes bundled with early signs of aging — blemishes, enlarged pores, and fine lines all showing up at once, with no single product built to address them together. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Ultra Concentrated Serum takes a triple-acid approach: salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and LHA work in synergy to clear pores and refine texture, while niacinamide and Thermal Spring Water soothe the skin throughout.

Best For:
Adult acne-prone skin showing early signs of aging.
Key Benefits of La Roche-Posay Effaclar Ultra Concentrated Serum 30ml:
  • 83% of users saw smoother-looking skin with more refined texture from the very first morning
  • 90% saw reduced fine lines and 92% saw less visible pores within 14 days
  • Reduces blemishes, marks, and blackheads with a gentle daily peeling action
  • Soothes skin with niacinamide and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water
  • Lightweight, fast-absorbing, non-greasy gel texture
Active Ingredients & How They Work:
  • Salicylic Acid (1.5%): an oil-soluble BHA that deeply unclogs pores and helps prevent sebum buildup that leads to blemishes.
  • Glycolic Acid (3.5%): an AHA that activates skin renewal, improving radiance and helping fade marks over time.
  • LHA / Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (0.45%): a gentler derivative of salicylic acid that micro-exfoliates the skin and helps refine the look of pores.
  • Niacinamide: supports the skin barrier and intensely soothes, helping reduce irritation from the acid complex.

How to Use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Ultra Concentrated Serum 30ml:
  1. Shake well before use, then cleanse skin with a gentle cleanser suited to oily or acne-prone skin.
  2. In the evening, gently massage 2-3 drops into the skin, avoiding the eye contour area.
  3. If new to exfoliating acids, use every other night for the first week before moving to nightly use.
  4. Apply daily sunscreen (at least SPF15) the following morning, as this product can increase sun sensitivity.
Warnings & Precautions:
  • For external use only; avoid contact with eyes and the eye contour area.
  • If eye contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • May increase skin's sensitivity to the sun — use daily sun protection during use and for a week after stopping.
  • Do not apply on open scars, peeling, or otherwise compromised skin.
  • Keep out of reach of children.

Adults dealing with acne-prone skin alongside early signs of aging, looking for a concentrated nightly treatment to refine texture, reduce blemishes, and soothe irritation.
