La Roche-Posay Effaclar K+ is a daily anti-blackhead moisturiser formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. Combining LHA, salicylic acid, Airlicium™ technology and antioxidant Vitamin E, La Roche-Posay Effaclar K+ helps unclog pores, reduce blackheads, control excess oil and improve skin texture while providing long-lasting hydration. Suitable for daily use, it leaves the skin feeling smoother, fresher and less oily throughout the day.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar K+ is a daily anti-blackhead moisturiser developed for oily, combination and acne-prone skin. Specially formulated to target clogged pores, excess oil and uneven skin texture, La Roche-Posay Effaclar K+ combines micro-exfoliating LHA, salicylic acid, Airlicium™ technology and antioxidant Vitamin E to help refine the complexion while providing lightweight hydration.

Unlike traditional moisturisers that simply hydrate the skin, La Roche-Posay Effaclar K+ works to address the underlying causes of persistent blackheads and rough skin texture. The formula gently exfoliates dead skin cells, helps keep pores clear and regulates excess sebum, reducing the appearance of blackheads while leaving the skin feeling smooth, fresh and comfortably hydrated.

With continued daily use, La Roche-Posay Effaclar K+ helps improve overall skin texture, minimise pore congestion and reduce excess shine throughout the day. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly, making it an excellent choice for oily and acne-prone skin that requires effective blemish care without heavy moisturisers.

Who should use La Roche-Posay Effaclar K+?

Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar K+ suitable for sensitive skin?

It is suitable for many people with sensitive, oily skin. However, because it contains exfoliating acids, those with very sensitive skin should introduce it gradually and monitor for irritation.

Should I wear sunscreen while using La Roche-Posay Effaclar K+?
