Why This Acne Toner Works
Effaclar Clarifying Solution uses a dual-acid approach to target the root causes of oily, blemish-prone skin. Salicylic acid (BHA) penetrates deep into pores to dissolve oil and debris, while glycolic acid (AHA) exfoliates the skin surface to improve tone and texture. Enriched with La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water - a natural source of selenium and minerals - the formula soothes and protects skin during exfoliation. Recommended by over 90,000 dermatologists worldwide, this toner is oil-free, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and paraben-free.
Key Ingredients
• 0.5% Salicylic Acid (BHA) - unclogs pores, clears blackheads and whiteheads, and reduces acne blemishes
• Glycolic Acid (AHA) - increases cell turnover, smooths skin texture, and improves skin tone
• La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water - soothes and provides antioxidant protection with natural selenium
• Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide - a natural humectant that helps maintain skin hydration
• Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract - a botanical that supports skin conditioning
• Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract - an antioxidant botanical that helps calm irritation
How to Use
1. Cleanse your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser such as Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel
2. Dampen a soft cotton pad with the clarifying solution
3. Gently sweep across the face, concentrating on the T-zone and areas prone to breakouts
4. Avoid the eye area - no rinsing is necessary
5. Follow with Effaclar Duo moisturiser for best results
Use up to twice daily, morning and evening. If you are new to acid exfoliation, start with 2-3 applications per week and build up gradually.
Ideal For
This clarifying toner is ideal for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. It is particularly suited for anyone dealing with enlarged pores, blackheads, uneven skin texture, or mild to moderate breakouts. The gentle yet effective formula makes it safe for sensitive skin and suitable for daily use in hot, humid climates like the UAE where excess oil production is a common concern. Note: this product contains glycolic acid (AHA), which may increase sun sensitivity - always wear SPF during the day.
