Q&A

What is Triple Acid Complex?

Effaclar Serum is formulated with Triple Acid Complex, a combination of salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and lipo-hydroxy acid that targets microcomedones, the precursor to acne breakouts.

•1.5% Salicylic Acid: Known for its effective exfoliating properties to help clear and refine the appearance of pores. An ideal choice for those concerned with clogged pores and oily skin.

•Glycolic Acid: An Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) often considered the gold standard in dermatology for skin exfoliation. Within our formulas, it is recognized for its ability to increase skin surface cell turnover and help visibly improve skin tone and texture.

•Lipo-Hydroxy Acid: Also known as LHA, it's a derivative of salicylic acid, and has exfoliating and skin surface renewing properties.

Do I apply a serum before or after a face moisturizer?

Dermatologists recommend applying your serum before your face moisturizer for optimum benefits.

*Results based on a clinical study after 4 weeks of use*

Why La Roche-Posay?

Recommended by 100,000 dermatologists worldwide, La Roche-Posay offers unique daily skincare developed using a strict formulation charter and stringent clinical testing for efficacy and safety, even on sensitive skin.

I got this product 4 days ago and was excited because I read all of the great reviews. I had previously never considered my fave sensitive or really acne prone. It was just breaking out because I slept in my makeup. Fast forward four days of using this at night and my face is peeling. I only used a ...

My absolute holy grail product

Submitted 28 days ago

By Lexi

From Michigan

I have had hormonal acne for about two years now. I have been beyond frusterated for so long because i had never had acne before. l couldnt get it to go away for two whole years!!!!! Granted im on different medications, i have noticed the most improvement since I've started using the serum. I have had breakouts with my current medication, but using the serum my acne has never cleared up faster and stayed gone as much as it has with this product. I use it about twice a day in the morning and at night. Plus, this lasts a long time. I've had this for about two weeks and I've gone through maybe 1/8 of the bottle. I did purge a little bit at first, but nothing too bad maybe lasted two days. I absolutely recommend this product to anyone and everyone!!!

I hardly ever leave reviews… But this serum is amazing! I've been suffering from horrible hormonal breakouts around my mouth and jaw. They cleared up within two days of using this and have not come back. Not only has the acne gone away, My skin is glowing. Try this… I doubt you will be disappointed!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I have dry, sensitive, and acne prone skin. Not only did this product help my acne but it didnt overly dry out my face either. I paired this with the triple repair moisturing cream (also from La Roche-Posay) and the two did wonders
