La Roche-Posay Effaclar A.Z. Gel-Crème is a lightweight daily gel-cream that helps reduce blemishes, post-acne marks and visible signs of ageing. Powered by azelaic acid, salicylic acid and hyaluronic acid, it promotes a smoother, clearer and more even-looking complexion while providing long-lasting hydration.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar A.Z. Gel-Crème is an innovative daily moisturiser developed for adults with acne-prone skin who are also concerned about post-acne marks, uneven skin tone and the first signs of ageing.
Its multi-action formula combines azelaic acid, salicylic acid and hyaluronic acid to visibly reduce blemishes, refine skin texture, fade post-inflammatory marks and deliver lasting hydration without feeling greasy. The lightweight gel-cream texture absorbs quickly, making it suitable for daily use under sunscreen or makeup.
