Summary
Key Highlights
VeganThis lightweight La Roche-Posay Effaclar Acne Serum targets existing breakouts and helps clear pores while visibly refining skin texture. Formulated for adult acne-prone skin, it combines exfoliating acids with soothing ingredients to reduce the appearance of blemishes without excessive drying.
Why We Love It

- Clarifies pores and smooths skin texture for a more even complexion.
- Formulated to be effective yet gentle enough for sensitive skin.
About Product
This daily treatment serum is specifically designed to address the concerns of adult acne. It goes beyond treating active breakouts by also working to reduce the look of pores and fine lines. The formula uses a Triple Acid Complex to exfoliate the skin surface and unclog pores, while Niacinamide and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water help soothe the skin.
What it does:
- Clears acne blemishes and helps prevent new breakouts.
- Visibly reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines.
- Refines skin texture for a smoother look and feel.
- Leaves skin feeling comfortable, not stripped or tight.

My skin hasn’t looked this good in years.
This serum is a lifesaver for breakout-prone skin.
I’ve recommended it to all my friends with acne.
It even cleared the small bumps on my chin.
I’m not afraid of new breakouts anymore.
