FAQ

How do I use Effaclar Micro-Peeling Gel on my face and body?
Lather the gel between wet hands and massage gently onto the face and/or body, then rinse thoroughly. On the face, it can be used once or twice daily; on the body, one daily application in the shower is generally sufficient. This cleanser contains salicylic acid and LHA (lipohydroxy acid) to gently exfoliate, along with zinc gluconate to help purify skin.

Can this gel help with back and chest acne (body acne)?
Yes, this gel is formulated for both face and body. Used once daily, it showed up to a 56% reduction in back and chest imperfections after 84 days of use. In hot climates, where perspiration can contribute to body breakouts, this type of purifying cleanser can be incorporated into a daily shower routine.

How often should I use this cleanser without irritating my skin?
The recommended frequency is once or twice daily, depending on the area (face or body) and your skin's tolerance. The product is soap-free, with a pH of around 5.3, tested under dermatological control, and generally described as well tolerated, including on sensitive skin. If you experience any discomfort, reduce to once-daily use.

Does this cleanser help fade acne marks and post-acne dark spots?
Consumer studies report an improvement in the look of skin tone (more even) and a visible reduction in marks after several weeks of use, alongside a reduction in active imperfections. Daily sun protection remains essential to avoid worsening these marks.

Is this gel safe for sensitive skin and darker skin tones?
Yes, the formula is hypoallergenic, tested under dermatological control, non-comedogenic, and suitable for sensitive skin, from age 14. It has been tested across different populations, including a range of phototypes. As with any exfoliating cleanser, it's advisable to start with once-daily use to assess your skin's tolerance before increasing frequency.
