A gentle cream wash for skin that feels dry and tight
La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream is a soothing cleanser for oily, blemish-prone skin that has become dry and irritated from strong blemish products. Its formula combines Aqua Posae Filiformis, which helps keep the skin surface balanced, with an orellana seed extract that helps limit imperfections while keeping skin hydrated. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water and niacinamide soothe the skin and support the skin barrier. The result is clean, comfortable skin with less redness, dryness and flaking.
The texture
A soft cream that turns into a creamy foam when massaged onto damp skin. It rinses off cleanly and leaves the skin comfortable, not stripped or tight.
Who it suits
- Oily or blemish-prone skin that feels dried out by strong products
- Skin that flakes, stings or turns red after strong anti-blemish products
- Teens and adults who want a mild daily face wash
- Anyone whose foaming gel has become too harsh
Worth knowing before you buy: the formula contains fragrance and sodium laureth sulfate. If your skin is oily but not feeling dried out, the Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel is a better everyday choice.
