Description
La Roche-Posay Effaclar MAT is a mattifying moisturiser for oily and blemish-prone skin. From the first application it absorbs excess oil, leaving a fresh, shine-free matte finish that lasts through the day.
Oil-absorbing powders such as silica and perlite work with salicylic acid and LHA to help keep pores looking clearer and more refined, while glycerin hydrates without heaviness. It also makes an excellent base for make-up.
