Product Description
Product Description:
Target breakouts and visible signs of aging in one daily treatment with azelaic acid, 1.2% salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, and zinc.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar A.Z. Gel Acne Treatment is a multi-action acne treatment designed for adults experiencing recurring breakouts, post-acne marks, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and signs of aging. The hydrating, ultra-fast-absorbing gel-cream combines dermatologist-recommended ingredients to help control acne blemishes while addressing discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.
The formula features 1.2% Salicylic Acid, which penetrates pores and exfoliates to help clear existing blemishes, reduce congestion, and prevent new acne from forming. Azelaic Acid provides complementary exfoliating and brightening benefits to help improve the appearance of persistent post-acne marks and uneven skin tone.
Unlike acne treatments focused solely on breakouts, Effaclar A.Z. also incorporates Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate, smooth skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, while Zinc helps control excess shine. With continued use, skin appears clearer, smoother, firmer, more even-toned, and radiant.
The non-comedogenic formula is dermatologist tested for safety, allergy tested, and tested on all skin tones.

Visible Results
With twice-daily use, clinical testing and self-assessment showed that blemishes were reduced and skin tone appeared more even beginning at 1 week. Skin also appeared tighter and more radiant, while persistent marks became less visible with regular use.*
In a separate clinical study, wrinkles appeared reduced and skin looked firmer after 56 days of twice-daily use.†
*Clinical study and self-assessment, 81 subjects, twice-daily application.
†Clinical study, 42 subjects, twice-daily application for 56 days.
How To Use:
Shake well before use. Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying.
Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily.
Because excessive dryness or peeling may occur, begin with one application daily. Gradually increase to two or three times per day if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling develops, reduce use to once daily or every other day.
Avoid the eye area.
