Actives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is in the middle between a serum and cream. Absorbs like a serum, moisturises like a lightweight gel cream. I would say it would be nice as a cream for oilier skins. I used it between a serum and cream. It has a faint fragrance. Finish is neutral, the product isn\u2019t mattifying or glowy on my skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The star ingredient here is the aforementioned Phylobioma – which is used to modulate skin microbiome, changing the balance of C.acnes phylotypes to inhibit the growth of IA1 phylotype – the one associated with symptoms of acne – without harming the other subtypes. This new version seems more effective than the old Effaclar Duo, and a bit more nourishing (but I\u2019ve tried the OG a good few years ago, so my memories may be hazy). This might not be a good thing for very oily skins, but\u2026 for me it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can expect some decrease of PIE, decongesting the skin, and some clarifying action without much exfoliation. This means it\u2019s a good retinoid companion, even in one routine. I like how easy it is to fit in a routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For you, if:<\/strong> you have some post-inflammatory erythema, occasional blemishes, your skin needs de-congesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not for you, if: <\/strong>you don\u2019t have congestion\/acne-prone skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buy it at your local LRP stockist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+M is an interesting purifying-normalising treatment.
