La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Creme Lavante 200ml is a soothing French dermatological cleansing cream developed for sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin weakened by drying acne treatments. Powered by Aqua Posae Filiformis prebiotic, niacinamide and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, this soap-free formula gently cleanses, purifies and rebalances the skin microbiome at physiological pH while restoring 24-hour hydration and reducing the tight, irritated feel that follows topical or oral acne treatment.
Why This Cleanser Works
Most foaming face washes strip the skin barrier, especially when it is already compromised by retinoids, benzoyl peroxide or isotretinoin. The Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream takes the opposite approach. Its creamy, low-foam texture lifts impurities, sweat and excess sebum without sulfate-driven dryness, while the prebiotic biomass and thermal water complex calm reactive skin, reduce post-treatment tightness and support the skin barrier so daily cleansing becomes part of the recovery, not part of the problem.
Ideal For
This soothing cleanser suits adolescents and adults with oily, acne-prone, combination or sensitive skin, especially those undergoing topical acne treatment, oral isotretinoin or retinoid therapy. It is non-comedogenic, soap-free and formulated at physiological pH, making it a strong fit for daily use in the UAE climate where heat and humidity can amplify oiliness while air-conditioning compounds dryness.

Each ingredient earns its place in this dermatologist-tested formula:
• Aqua Posae Filiformis: a patented prebiotic biomass derived from La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water that helps rebalance the skin microbiome, reducing inflammation, tightness and irritation.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): visibly reduces redness, strengthens the skin barrier, regulates oil and supports a clearer, more even-looking complexion.
• Bixa Orellana (Orellana) Seed Extract: a botanical prebiotic that helps minimise imperfections and limit acne marks while keeping skin hydrated.
• Zinc PCA: purifies the skin, supports oil control and helps calm acne-related irritation.
• Glycerin and Mannose: humectants that draw and hold moisture in the upper skin layers, leaving skin comfortable and soft after rinsing.
• La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: rich in selenium, a natural antioxidant that soothes sensitive, reactive skin.
