Body Acne: Understanding and Effectively Managing It with Effaclar DUO(+)M
Acne doesn’t only affect the face. For many, it also appears on the body, causing discomfort and insecurity. 2 out of 3 acne patients experience body acne*, yet 50% lack suitable products for this type of acne.
Understanding Body Acne
Like facial acne, body acne is caused by excess sebum that clogs the skin’s pores. This promotes the growth of bacteria, leading to pimples, blackheads, and sometimes marks. The back, chest, and shoulders are the most commonly affected areas.
Effectively Addressing Body Acne with the Effaclar Range
For over 25 years, Effaclar by La Roche Posay has supported acne-prone skin with effective and skin-respecting dermocosmetic solutions. As a leader in microbiome research, Effaclar offers a complete routine to combat imperfections, even on the body, suitable from age 10.
1. Cleanse:
The Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel, powered by microbiome science with the new Phylobioma active ingredient and La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water, gently purifies the skin and removes excess sebum without causing irritation.
2. Treat:
The Effaclar Ultra Concentrated Serum, a true daily peeling solution, combines three acids (LHA, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid) and Niacinamide to smooth the skin, refine its texture, and reduce persistent imperfections.
3. Correct with DUO(+)M: Your Anti-Imperfection Ally
Effaclar DUO(+)M offers a triple-action solution for imperfections on the face, back, and chest:
• Anti-Pimple: Visibly reduces the appearance of pimples within 8 hours***.
• Anti-Marks: Prevents new marks and helps fade existing ones.
• Anti-Relapse: Effectiveness lasts up to 3 months after stopping treatment****.
Its formula features Phylobioma, an innovative active ingredient targeting the phylotype IA1, the bacteria associated with acne.
An Effective Solution for the Body
Initially designed for the face, Effaclar DUO(+)M is now also effective for the back and chest. Its non-greasy and non-sticky texture absorbs quickly and applies easily to affected areas.
