1. La Roche Posay Effaclar
The Effaclar pore-refining lotion from La Roche-Posay clarifies sensitive, oily to very oily, blemish-prone skin. Thanks to the formula with the active ingredient LHA, the toner has a micro-exfoliating effect and removes dead skin cells. Enriched with soothing thermal water and salicylic acid, the Effaclar lotion refines enlarged pores and helps prevent them from becoming clogged. This helps to prevent blemishes and blackheads, resulting in a more even skin texture. The pore-refining lotion is the ideal complement to La Roche-Posay's Effaclar skincare line. It gently removes residues from the cleansing gel and prepares the skin for the subsequent care product. Non-comedogenic.
Pro
- Cleans very well
- Feels very pleasant
- does not dry out my skin
Contra
- None a little expensive
- odour could be better
- Scent takes some getting used to (but you do get used to it)
