Ingredients and Materials
Key actives in La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo(+) work together to target imperfections and regulate sebum production. Typical key ingredients include:
- Salicylic Acid (BHA) – exfoliates inside pores to reduce blackheads and clear congestion
- LHA (Lipo-Hydroxy Acid) – gently renews skin surface and improves texture
- Niacinamide – soothes inflammation and reduces redness
- Zinc or zinc derivatives – helps regulate oiliness
- Hydrating agents such as glycerin for comfortable wear without drying
The formula is oil-free, non-comedogenic and often fragranced minimally or fragrance-free depending on batch. Always check the pack for the full INCI list and any specific material notes.

- Cleanse skin thoroughly with a gentle cleanser suitable for oily/acne-prone skin.
- Apply a pea-sized amount of Effaclar Duo(+) to the whole face or directly on problem areas, once or twice daily.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using exfoliating actives.

For sensitive skin, perform a patch test before full use and start with once-daily application.
