What it is
What it is
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Deep Cleansing Foaming Cream is a 125ml cream-type cleanser. Despite the cream name, it is lathered with water and rinsed rather than left on as moisturizer. The brand positions it for excess-sebum oily skin, useful when comparing a lather wash and sebum-related ingredient entries.
Read the shorter list
Water, Glycerin, Myristic Acid and Potassium Hydroxide lead the list, followed by Glyceryl Stearate SE, Stearic, Lauric and Palmitic acids and Coco-Glucoside. Glycerin is a humectant within a rinse-off formula containing fatty acids and cleansing materials.
Tetrasodium EDTA, Salicylic Acid and Fragrance complete the current official 12-entry order. Salicylic Acid is commonly compared as BHA, without an individual amount declared here. A short list does not establish universal sensitive-skin suitability or greater gentleness.
Separate function from washing
The brand presents this cream in its mildly alkaline cleansing duo; an acid entry does not automatically make the whole cleanser acidic. Its notice lists no functional-cosmetic classification, not an acne-treatment or permanent pore-shrinking product. Lather thoroughly, wash gently and rinse. Check known fragrance reactions rather than extending washing for sebum concerns. The official store’s shipping promise of at least 12 months remaining is not a 12-month opened-product rule; check your pack for its expiry information.
A buying question answered
The brand positions it as foam for excess-sebum oily skin and lists no functional-cosmetic classification. No individual Salicylic Acid concentration is stated. Read it as a cleanser with that ingredient, without treatment or permanent pore-shrinking promises.
Use and comparison choices
Lather an appropriate amount thoroughly in the hands with water. Wash the face with gentle massage. Rinse clean with lukewarm water.
LAGOM 120ml lists Urea and Hydroxyethyl Urea; Pine Cica Foam lists BHA and LHA. Compare acid entries, volume and set configuration.
After cleansing, compare S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream 60ml as a separate moisturizing option. Consider the areas that feel tight and the amount needed rather than leaving cleanser ingredients on the skin.

Key ingredients
The most widely used humectant in skincare, drawing water toward the skin and holding it in the upper layers. Its interaction with the skin's own water channels has been studied for decades, and it is mild enough to appear across a very wide concentration range. At high levels it turns tacky, so formulas usually pair it with lighter humectants.
A BHA associated with willow bark, distinguished by its oil solubility. That property lets it reach into pores filled with sebum, which is the basis for its use in exfoliating and blemish-focused products. Korea lists it as a functional ingredient for acne-prone skin, commonly at 0.5 percent.
