Zinc PCA, a zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, is the key active ingredient that works to purify the skin, reduce excess oil production and visibly mattify the complexion throughout the cleansing process, while the new Phytobioma active ingredient, developed from microbiome science, targets the strain of bacteria responsible for blemishes and imperfections to help reduce them with regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water forms the base of the formula and provides its characteristic soothing and anti-irritant benefits, calming the skin during cleansing and making the gel suitable for even the most sensitive and reactive skin types. The pH-optimised formula respects the skin's physiological acid mantle to avoid over-stripping or exacerbating sensitivity, and the formula has been tested for non-comedogenicity on acne-prone skin. The 400ml pump format provides exceptional value for twice-daily use. Recommended to use as the first step of the Effaclar routine, followed by Effaclar Duo+M and daily SPF protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures of La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser 400ml\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc PCA (Zinc Pidolate) purifies, reduces excess oil and mattifies the complexion during and after cleansing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhytobioma active ingredient developed from microbiome science targets blemish-causing bacteria to visibly reduce imperfections with regular use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water provides soothing and anti-irritant benefits, making the formula suitable for sensitive skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH-optimised, non-comedogenic, alcohol-free, oil-free and tested on acne-prone skin, dermatologically tested and made in France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-start##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 400ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Foaming gel cleanser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-item-end##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOily and blemish-prone skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for sensitive skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-comedogenic, tested on acne-prone skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-item-end##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWarnings and cautions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor external use only.
