La Roche-Posay Effaclar MAT 40ml
R399.00
Oil-control moisturiser that mattifies skin, tightens pores, and calms shine for oily, acne-prone skin.
Product Description+
Effaclar MAT is formulated especially for oily to combination skin that has visible pores, excessive shine, or a tendency toward blemishes. It provides hydration without heaviness, using advanced mattifying technology (Sebulyse™) plus micro-exfoliating Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) to gently refine skin texture. From the first use it helps reduce oiliness, give a matte finish, and over time the appearance of pores improves, skin feels smoother, more even, and healthier. It’s non-comedogenic, dermatologically tested, and also works as a good make-up base.
How to Use+
- Apply to clean face after cleansing (morning and/or evening).
- Avoid the eye contour area.
Ingredient Benefits+
Sebulyse™ — a sebo-regulating technology that helps mattify skin and tighten pores; more effective than zinc in reducing sebum in tests.
Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) — a gentle exfoliant to renew skin surface and help unclog pores without harsh irritation.
Perlite + Micro-spheres — absorb excess sebum/oil, contribute to the matte finish and blur pore appearance.
Glycerin — hydrates and supports skin moisture balance.
Thermal Spring Water (La Roche-Posay) — soothing, antioxidant effect.
