Common questions

Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar Supramolecular Oil & Pores Correct Moisturiser fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 22nd of 22 ingredients.

Does La Roche-Posay Effaclar Supramolecular Oil & Pores Correct Moisturiser contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 4th of 22 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.

Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar Supramolecular Oil & Pores Correct Moisturiser safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-2 isostearate); plant oils & butters (glycine soja oil). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar Supramolecular Oil & Pores Correct Moisturiser suitable for sensitive skin?

It contains fragrance, drying alcohol high in the list and lactic acid, an exfoliating acid, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
