La Roche Posay Effaclar K

La Roche Posay Effaclar K is a product made by the La Roche-Posay/BioMedic line. Once a consultation with La Roche Posay has been performed, it can be found through online distributors or specialty skin care stores. The product is for use on the face.

La Roche Posay Effaclar K is an acne treatment fluid that contains LHA’s, salicylic acid, zinc and thermal spring water. Those suffering from oily, acne prone skin or adult comedonal acne are good candidates for this product. Effaclar K has a pH balance of 5.5 and works to reduce blackheads, control breakouts and improve the skin’s texture.

La Roche Posay Effaclar K comes in a manageable 1 fluid ounce tube. A thin layer of the product is to be applied up to 3 times daily on clean skin depending on the user’s level of tolerance, or as directed by a physician. This product is non comedogenic and users may see results in as little as 3 days. The combination of LHA’s, or lipohydroxy acids, and salicylic acid is said to be the winning combination in this acne fighting product. LHA’s are also often said to be more tolerable than alpha hydroxys for those with acne prone skin. Plus, the LHA’s in Effaclar K are said to reduce bacteria nearly 40% upon contact. Gentle enough for daily use, the product provides an exfoliation action that improves skin’s texture by smoothing away the dead skin cells that further clog pores. With Effaclar K containing no benzoyl peroxide, users will likely find it less drying to the skin. La Roche Posay claims a 99% tolerance rate and a 47% reduction in microcomedones. The spring water used in the product is for soothing the skin and revitalizing its texture. Prospective users will be required to contact La Roche Posay for a consultation before purchase. Price comparison shopping can help consumers find the best deal with the product staying around a low to mid level price range.
