What it is
What it is
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel+M is a 200ml rinse-off cleanser. Effaclar toners, serums and Micro-Peeling Gel have different formulas and instructions. Decide whether you need a wash or a leave-on care step before comparing the line name.
Read the cleansing base with Zinc PCA
The current Korean list includes Sodium Laureth Sulfate, PEG-8, Coco-Betaine and Hexylene Glycol, with Zinc PCA and Pomegranate Peel Extract as distinct entries. Sodium Laureth Sulfate should not be renamed Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. A Zinc headline alone does not explain the whole formula.
Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide do not let you calculate a peeling strength from ingredient order. The Korean brand describes an acidic-pH cleansing gel, but the list does not prove how your skin will feel after washing.
Salicylic Acid is not listed in this Korean formula. Do not transfer the ingredients or instructions of Effaclar Micro-Peeling Gel onto it. Blemish-care positioning is also not a promise to treat an individual's acne within a set period. The Korean functional-cosmetic disclosure is none.
Fragrance is present. If you prioritize an unscented wash, check that entry early. A broad sensitive-skin description and your own fragrance tolerance are separate considerations; one surfactant name is not a universal safety or irritation verdict.
Lather and rinse
The brand's method is to lather with water, massage gently while avoiding the eye area, and rinse thoroughly. It is different from an oil's dry-face start or a micellar water's cotton method. No long rubbing session or mandatory repeat wash is imposed here.
ANUA Heartleaf Succinic Foam provides an acid-and-fragrance comparison. PHYSIOGEL DMT Gel offers a different surfactant and ceramide composition. Compare the exact 200ml pack separately from 400ml bottles, refills and gifts.

Key ingredients
The sodium salt of the compound that makes up the largest share of the skin's natural moisturising factor. It works by the same mechanism the stratum corneum uses to hold its own water, making it a foundation of hydration formulas. It feels light with virtually no tack.
