Common questions

Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Cleanser fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum/Fragrance") is the 23rd of 23 ingredients.

Does La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Cleanser contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Cleanser safe for fungal acne?

It contains 6 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, glycol distearate); polysorbates (polysorbate 20); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii butter); and 1 more. How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?

It contains fragrance and sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate, a strong cleansing agent, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
