What skin types is this Effaclar cleanser designed for?

This cleanser is specifically formulated for oily skin and acne‑prone or blemish‑prone skin, and is also well tolerated by sensitive skin. It’s designed to reduce excess oil and impurities without over‑drying or irritating the skin.

How often should Effaclar Cleanser be used?

It can be used daily - morning and/or evening as part of your regular skincare routine. Using it twice a day helps remove excess sebum, dirt and impurities accumulated overnight or throughout the day.

Can it be used on face only or also on the body?

Although primarily marketed for the face, the gel can also be used on other oily or acne‑prone areas of the body (e.g., back, chest) if you experience breakouts there, as long as you rinse it off well and avoid over‑drying.

What skin feel should users expect after cleansing?

After use, skin should feel clean, refreshed and free of excess oil — without a tight, dry or stripped sensation. The formula purifies while respecting the skin’s natural pH and leaving it feeling comfortable and smooth.

Can it be used alongside acne treatments or actives?

Yes - this gentle gel can be paired with acne treatments or active products (like serums or spot treatments) because it prepares the skin by removing oil and impurities first.
