La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Foaming Wash For Face & Body 200ml Micro-Exfoliating Cleanser with 2% Salicylic Acid for Oily, Blemish-Prone Skin La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Foaming Wash is a rinse-off cleanser formulated for oily, blemish-prone skin on both the face and body. It combines 2% salicylic acid with 0.05% LHA and 0.2% zinc to remove impurities and excess sebum, help unclog pores and leave skin feeling smoother and purified. Overview Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Foaming Wash is designed for persistent imperfections and areas prone to blocked pores and excess oil. The foaming formula contains 2% salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that provides exfoliating action, alongside 0.05% capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA) and 0.2% zinc. La Roche-Posay describes the cleanser as micro-exfoliating, purifying and suitable for oily, acne-prone skin.

Why Choose This Product Effaclar Micro-Peeling differs from the standard Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel through its exfoliating acid combination. It contains: 2% Salicylic Acid – provides exfoliating action and helps clear accumulated material from the skin surface and pores. 0.05% LHA – capryloyl salicylic acid, a lipohydroxy acid used for targeted micro-exfoliating action. 0.2% Zinc – included in the purifying formula for oily skin. The combination makes this cleanser particularly suited to persistent imperfections and oily, congested skin rather than simply providing basic daily cleansing. Helpful Product Information Effaclar Micro-Peeling can be used on both the face and body. This makes it useful where blemish-prone skin extends beyond the face to areas such as the back, shoulders and chest. It is stronger in exfoliating action than La Roche-Posay's standard Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel because Micro-Peeling contains 2% salicylic acid and 0.05% LHA. If introducing salicylic acid to your skincare routine, monitor how your skin responds, particularly if you also use retinoids, exfoliating acids or other potentially drying skincare products. Trust & Pharmacist Advice This product is a cosmetic cleanser rather than a medicine for acne. Salicylic acid is widely used in cosmetic skincare for its exfoliating properties. Because Effaclar Micro-Peeling contains 2% salicylic acid together with LHA, avoid unnecessarily layering several strong exfoliating products if this causes dryness, stinging or irritation. For body use, concentrate on oily or blemish-prone areas rather than using an exfoliating cleanser on areas that are already very dry or irritated. If you use prescription acne treatment or topical products that can cause dryness or peeling, ask your pharmacist, GP or dermatologist whether an exfoliating cleanser is appropriate alongside your treatment. Persistent, painful, cystic, scarring or widespread acne should be assessed by a
