La Roche Posay Effaclar Face Salicylic Acid Toner Clarifying Solution with Medicated Formula - 6.76oz

A: Hello Betsy! Thank you for asking about our Effaclar Face Salicylic Acid Toner and its potential to help even skin tone. Our Effaclar Face Salicylic Acid Toner is formulated with salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) renowned for its exfoliating properties. This ingredient works by penetrating the oil in your pores to help clear them and gently shed dead skin cells from the skin's surface. Through this gentle exfoliation, the toner helps to refine skin texture, promote cell turnover, and clarify the complexion. By removing dull, superficial skin cells and encouraging a smoother surface, it can contribute to a more uniform and radiant appearance, thereby helping to improve the look of skin tone over time. It is an excellent step in a routine aimed at achieving a clearer, more balanced complexion.

A: Hey Betsy, Great question! The La Roche Posay Effaclar Salicylic Acid Toner is formulated with Glycolic Acid, an ingredient known to fade dark spots and promote a brighter, more even skin tone.

A: Hello Kristie31! After cleansing, apply the Effaclar Clarifying Solution to a cotton pad and sweep it across your face, avoiding the eye area. Allow it to dry fully before applying your serum (if using) and then your moisturizer. Use once or twice daily, as tolerated. If using other acne treatments, consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance on product layering and frequency.

A: Hi there, Thank you for your question. We suggest to use only one at a time per routine as-needed. Such as, using the Effaclar Salicylic Acid Serum in your AM routine and the Toner in your PM routine. If you feel your need to add the toner in addition to the Effaclar Salicylic Serum to your routine, then we suggest to start only 1-3 times per week. And always remember to wear an SPF during the day to help protect your skin!

A: Hello there! How often you use Effaclar Clarifying Solution depends on your skin's sensitivity. We recommend starting with once or twice a week to assess your skin's tolerance. Gradually increase frequency if your skin reacts well, but always prioritize gentle application. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use. Always follow product instructions and consult a dermatologist for personalized advice, especially if you have sensitive skin or use other active ingredients. Remember daily sunscreen is essential when using salicylic acid. We hope this was helpful!
