La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion 200ml is a micro-exfoliating toner formulated with Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) to visibly reduce pore size and control excess sebum for oily and acne-prone skin. Developed with dermatologists and enriched with La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, this astringent lotion gently exfoliates, unblocks pores, and smooths skin texture - leaving your complexion refreshed, refined, and shine-free. Suitable for sensitive skin and available with fast delivery across the UAE from MedX Pharmacy.

Why This Astringent Lotion Works

This astringent lotion works through a targeted combination of sebum-regulating and micro-exfoliating active ingredients. Unlike ordinary toners, the Effaclar formula penetrates the skin's surface layer to dissolve pore-clogging debris cell by cell, thanks to the precision action of LHA. The result is instantly tighter-looking pores, smoother skin grain, and a more even complexion - without the dryness or irritation common with harsh alcohol-based toners. Recommended by over 90,000 dermatologists worldwide, La Roche-Posay ensures clinical-grade efficacy with a strict formulation charter.

• Glycerin - A plant-derived humectant that attracts moisture to keep skin hydrated without adding oiliness
