The latest acne care and anti-aging innovation from La Roche-Posay

The latest acne care and anti-aging innovation from La Roche-Posay

The experts from La Roche-Posay are here to talk about the brand’s latest product launch for acne and aging.

Acne isn’t just for teens. It’s common to experience blemishes in your twenties, thirties, forties and beyond. Over time, those who experience adult acne may find themselves wanting to improve fine lines, enlarged pores and post-acne marks as well. Rather than trying to merge separate anti-acne and anti-aging skin care regimens, you can target both of these common concerns with just one regimen from La Roche-Posay.

One serum to address aging and acne

La Roche-Posay’s Effaclar range is dermatologist-tested and proven to help maintain clear skin, and the latest addition provides acne-fighting and anti-aging benefits in one bottle. “For my extremely sensitive-skinned acne patients, I always recommend the Effaclar regimen,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Joel Schlessinger. “It works nicely and is one of the most gentle products I know for acne-prone skin.” The new La Roche-Posay Effaclar Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Serum is a true multitasker that promotes skin exfoliation to clear acne and prevent new breakouts, while visibly reducing the look of pores, fine lines and post-acne marks.

Lightweight, fast-absorbing and formulated specifically for acne-prone and aging skin, this serum features a potent Triple Acid Complex that improves acne (including blackheads, whiteheads and other pimples) and visible signs of aging along with soothing ingredients that nourish the skin. They are:

• 1.5% salicylic acid, which effectively exfoliates skin to help clear and refine the appearance of pores

Glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid known for its exfoliating benefits and ability to stimulate collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines

Lipo-hydroxy acid (LHA): A derivative of salicylic acid with exfoliating and skin-renewing properties

Niacinamide: Also known as vitamin B3, an ingredient that offers soothing and skin-restoring benefits

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: A unique water rich in selenium, a natural antioxidant

Dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, allergy-tested and paraben-free, La Roche-Posay Effaclar Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Serum is just what any anti-acne and anti-aging skin care routine needs for maintaining the appearance of healthy, youthful-looking skin. In fact, studies have shown that after four weeks of use, it provides a 45% decrease in pimples and a 49% decrease in post-acne marks.

How to use La-Roche Posay Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Serum

For optimal results, use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Serum as part of a comprehensive yet simple La Roche-Posay regimen. Morning and night, cleanse with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser before applying La Roche-Posay Effaclar Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Serum. In the morning, finish your routine with La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin SPF 60 Dry Touch Sunscreen. For extra hydration and anti-aging benefits, add on La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum daily or as needed. When a targeted blemish treatment is in order, use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo as a spot treatment to help clear red, raised pimples. With this new addition to the Effaclar family, you can target acne and visible signs of aging at once and see significant improvement in the health and appearance of your overall complexion.
