Nearly invisible patches that shrink a spot while protecting it
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Multi-Action Anti-Imperfection Patches are hydrocolloid patches for individual blemishes, from the first sign of a spot to more persistent ones, suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. The hydrocolloid forms a barrier over the spot, shielding it from bacteria, dirt and fingers, which limits the risk of marks. At the same time it absorbs excess fluid and keeps the area moist, so the spot looks visibly reduced in as little as 3 hours. At 420 micrometres thick, each patch is almost invisible and can be worn under makeup.
How it works
Thin, transparent dots that stick firmly to clean, dry skin. The pack holds 22 patches in two sizes: 12 small (10mm) and 10 medium (12mm).
Who it suits
- Occasional spots and breakouts
- Anyone who tends to pick at blemishes
- Teens and adults, from 12 years
- Sensitive skin
Worth knowing before you buy: Patches treat one spot at a time. For regular breakouts, pair them with a daily anti-blemish moisturiser such as Effaclar Duo+M.
