La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion

Refine pores and smooth skin texture with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion, a micro-exfoliating toner specially developed for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. This purifying lotion helps unclog pores, reduce their visible appearance, and refine skin texture through a combination of LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) and sebo-regulating ingredients. It gently exfoliates the skin’s surface while removing residual impurities, leaving the complexion clearer, smoother, and more balanced. 

Enriched with La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, the formula provides soothing antioxidant benefits while helping minimize irritation. Dermatologically tested on oily, acne-prone skin, this toner is an excellent addition to a skincare routine targeting enlarged pores, excess oil, and uneven skin texture.
