La Roche-Posay Effaclar H ISO-Biome is a skincare range specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin that has been weakened, dried out, or irritated by harsh acne treatments (like drying oral medications or topical actives). It focuses on repairing the skin barrier and soothing discomfort using microbiome science.
Key Products in the Range
The line consists of two primary products designed to be used together as a gentle, hydrating routine:
-
Effaclar H ISO-Biome Moisturising Cream: A 48-hour soothing and intensely hydrating moisturizer. It uses squalane, vitamin B5 (panthenol), and glycerin to hydrate, while niacinamide helps visibly reduce redness. It also features Orellana extract to support the skin's microbiome and help prevent blemishes.
-
Effaclar H ISO-Biome Cleansing Cream: A non-drying, ultra-soothing cream cleanser for the face and body. It gently purifies without stripping the skin of necessary lipids, leaving the skin feeling comfortable and refreshed.
How to Use It
For best results, use the products together in a simple morning and evening routine:
-
Cleanse: Lather a small amount of the cleansing cream in your hands with water. Massage gently over the wet face and body, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a towel (avoid rubbing).
-
Moisturize: Apply the moisturizing cream to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
-
Protect (Morning Only): Follow up with a broad-spectrum, non-comedogenic sunscreen during the day to protect weakened skin from sun damage.
