PROPERTIES AND FEATURES

A dual-action pimple cream that targets acne prone & congested skin. This acne cream exfoliates dead skin and excess sebum, reduces redness, spots and breakouts, stimulates cell renewal and targets skin imperfections.

Effaclar Duo (+) acne moisturiser contains a unique formula of active ingredients to address the key cause and effects of acne; clogged pores, bacteria and inflammation, acne marks, and dry irritated skin.

Clogged Pores
Salicylic Acid (SA) is derived from willow bark and is oil soluble, meaning it can penetrate deep into pores and oils to break up dead skin cells and debris. Salicylic acid helps to dissolve blackheads, whiteheads and blocked pores.

LHA (Lipohydroxy acid) has skin renewing and exfoliating properties and has also been associated with dermal thickening by stimulating collagen and elastic production.The chemical exfoliants in Effaclar Duo + help to remove excess sebum, reopen clogged pores and reduce blackheads, pimples and tender lumps.

Bacteria and Inflammation
Zinc PCA regulates sebum to mattify the complexion and control shine and reduce the oil secretion that can trap bacteria that causes pimples. Zinc has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which reduce the spread of acne causing infection and soothes irritated skin. Additionally, the Pioctone olamine in Effaclar Duo formula also ensures there is no bacteria left inside pores. Salicylic acid and Niacinamide also act as anti-inflammatory agents.

Acne Marks & Scars
▪ Niacinamide (vitamin B₃) brightens skin, reduces redness and helps to fade acne marks that have been left after a breakout.
▪ Procerad™ is a ceramide which helps prevent the red, brown and purple marks.
▪ Mannose helps to rebalance the microbiome, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cellular turnover.

These three Effaclar Duo ingredients work together to help lighten scars and marks caused by acne.

Dry, Acne Prone Skin
Glycerin is a humectant and draws moisture into the epidermis to form a protective layer, prevent moisture loss and balance hydration levels. Glycerin does not clog pores or add oils to the skin, which makes the ingredient suitable for acne prone skin and Effaclar Duo.
