La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Anti-Shine Face Moisturizer is a dual-action, oil-free daily moisturizer designed specifically to reduce excess sebum production and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. It provides a long-lasting, soft matte finish while delivering 24-hour hydration, making it ideal for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types.
Key Benefits & Performance
Dual-Action Mattifying: Targets excess oil at its root to stop shine before it starts.
Pore Refining: Visibly tightens dilated, stretched-out pores and improves overall skin texture.
Makeup Primer: Functions as a non-greasy, lightweight base that keeps cosmetics locked in place all day.
Non-Comedogenic Formula: Clinically and dermatologically tested to ensure it will not clog pores or trigger breakouts
Core Active Ingredients
Sebulyse Technology: A proprietary sebo-regulating compound that is dermatologically proven to be superior to zinc in slowing down oil production.
Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA): A gentle derivative of salicylic acid that provides micro-exfoliation to sweep away dead skin cells and clear pore blockages.
Perlite & Silica: Mineral-based powders that act like a continuous blotter, absorbing moisture and oil on contact without drying out the skin.
La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: Naturally rich in essential minerals to soothe sensitive skin and provide antioxidant protection.
How to Use
Cleanse: Wash the face thoroughly with a clarifying face wash, such as the Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel.
Apply: Smooth a dime-sized amount over the entire face and neck in the morning and evening, avoiding the sensitive eye and mouth areas.
Layer: Let the formula fully dry down into a soft matte texture before applying sunscreen or liquid foundation to prevent pilling
