La Roche Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel 400ml is an exfoliating cleanser made for oily and acne-prone skin with clogged pores, persistent blemishes, excess sebum, and visible marks. La Roche Posay Effaclar Micro Peeling Gel combines salicylic acid, LHA, and zinc in a cleansing gel that can be used on both the face and body. It removes impurities while gently micro-exfoliating dead surface cells, helping pores feel cleaner and skin texture appear smoother over time.
La Roche Posay Effaclar Micro Peeling Gel for Acne-Prone Skin
This cleanser is more exfoliating than the standard Effaclar Foaming Gel. It is designed for users dealing with persistent imperfections and clogged pores.
The formula can also be used on body areas affected by blemishes, making the 400ml pump format practical for larger areas.

Salicylic Acid for Clogged Pores
Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble exfoliating ingredient commonly used in skincare for clogged pores and acne-prone skin.
In this rinse-off formula, it supports deeper pore cleansing while the cleanser removes oil and daily impurities.
LHA for Gentle Micro-Exfoliation
LHA, or capryloyl salicylic acid, provides additional micro-exfoliating action. It helps remove dead surface cells and refine the appearance of pores.
The combination of salicylic acid and LHA makes this formula more treatment-focused than a standard daily foaming wash.
Zinc for Oil and Sebum Control
Zinc supports the purifying action of the cleanser and helps address excessive sebum. This is useful for skin that becomes oily and shiny through the day.
Reducing excess surface oil can also help skin feel cleaner after washing.
Face and Body Acne-Prone Skin
The Micro-Peeling Gel is officially suitable for the face and body. This makes it useful for areas such as the chest, shoulders, and back where clogged pores and blemishes may also appear.
Avoid applying it to broken, severely irritated, or freshly shaved skin if that causes discomfort.
400ml Pump for Larger Areas
The 400ml size is useful when the cleanser is applied to both facial and body skin. The pump bottle also makes dispensing easier in the shower.
Users who only need a facial cleanser may use smaller amounts because exfoliating cleansers do not require heavy application.
Do Not Over-Exfoliate
Because the formula contains exfoliating acids, users should consider the rest of their routine. Combining several strong exfoliating products at once can increase dryness or irritation.
Introduce the cleanser gradually if the skin is new to salicylic acid or LHA.
How to Use La Roche Posay Effaclar Micro Peeling Gel
- Wet the face or body area with water.
- Lather a small amount of gel between wet hands.
- Massage gently over the intended area.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Follow with moisturizer and use sunscreen on exposed skin during the day.
Who Should Use La Roche Posay Effaclar Micro Peeling Gel?
