Description
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+M is a daily care for oily and blemish-prone skin. It combines niacinamide, zinc PCA, salicylic acid and LHA to help unclog pores and smooth skin texture, and to help reduce the look of blemishes.
Procerad and niacinamide help reduce the look of the dark marks blemishes can leave behind, while a Vitreoscilla ferment (Phylobioma) helps support a balanced skin microbiome. The light, non-greasy texture also makes a good base for make-up.
