Q: How do you stop this from pilling when anything is applied over it ?? I have tried several sunscreens, including La Roche-Posay, and everything pills...

submitted by quentinsmom - 5 years ago
  • A: We are so sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your new product. At times, if this very hydrating moisturizer is layered under or over another hydrating skincare product that has not fully absorbed into skin, it can cause the moisturizer to ball up or “pill”. To help avoid this, we recommend allowing the first product you apply in your skincare routine to fully dry and absorb into skin until it feels dry to the touch before layering on the next product. We would love to be able to provide further information and recommendations for your specific issue - please feel free to call La Roche-Posay's Customer Care Center at 800.946.4459 M-F 9a-5:30p ET and provide the ref #18477766 so that we can best assist you.

Q: Is this vegan and cruelty free?

submitted by WatchDominion - 6 years ago
  • A: Hi there - Thank you for reaching out. The L'Oréal Group, which includes La Roche-Posay, has always made our consumers’ health and safety an absolute priority. As is the support of animal welfare. L’Oréal has developed a very rigorous safety evaluation procedure of its products, backed by research. Well before the question of animal testing was raised by civil society or within a regulatory framework, L’Oréal has been committed to new methods of assessing safety that don’t involve animals. A true pioneer, L'Oréal has been reconstructing human skin models in laboratories to elaborate invitro safety tests since 1979, as an alternative to animals. In 1989, L’Oréal completely ceased testing its products on animals, 14 years before the regulation required so.

Guests are saying

This moisturizer is highly praised for its lightweight, mattifying formula that effectively controls shine, making it ideal for oily and combination skin types. Guests appreciate its smooth texture, gentle formulation suitable for sensitive skin, and the absence of strong scents. Many find it a reliable base for makeup, enhancing application and longevity.

    Better for combination skin!!

    If you have super oily face as i do, it won't help. Its matte, i think on combination skin will suit better!! Also it doesn't dry your face and its moisturising
    1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 8 days ago
    Hello ChristinaK! It is wonderful to hear that you found the texture moisturizing and gentle enough to keep your skin from feeling dry, as maintaining a healthy moisture barrier is essential even for the most active oil-reclaiming skin types. For those experiencing very high sebum production, the mattifying effect can sometimes feel less persistent depending on the environmental humidity or the specific needs of the skin that day. A helpful tip to enhance the performance of your moisturizer is to ensure your cleansing routine is thorough yet non-stripping, perhaps incorporating a gentle clay-based treatment once or twice a week to deeply clear excess oil before applying your daily care. This creates a more balanced canvas that allows the mattifying technology to work more effectively throughout the day. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and your thoughtful insight regarding the suitability for combination skin.

    Love this moisturizer

    This is a great moisturizer from La Roche-Posay. It’s perfect for oily skin as it leaves your skin matte. O more oily or greasy looking skin. It’s a must try.

    Fabulous for Oily Skin & Perimenopausal Breakouts

    I recently started to experience perimenopause symptoms which included breaking out. I have very oily skin as well. I found this lotion after I desperately asked ChatGPT to recommend a skincare routine and products for me based on my symptoms, age, oily skin, and in perimenopause. This lotion was on the list along with a cleanser from La Roche-Posay. I love the feeling of this lotion. I use it for daytime. At night, because I’ve been using a retinol, I use La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Healing Ointment since it seems more “therapeutic” for my skin with using a retinol. I love this product as well and don’t break out. My only suggestion is a larger size for the Effaclar Mat Mattifying Face Moisturizer as I go through it fairly quickly.

    Moisturizing & Mattifying

    This mattifying moisturizer is perfect for my son’s teenage greasy face! Other moisturizers leave him looking greasy but this moisturizes and mattifies. Great for acne prone skin.

    Great product for oily skin.

    I have been using this moisturiser for a couple of weeks now and it has cleared my oily skin! I no longer suffer with a shiny face. I used to wake up with an oily t zone and this really helps. Also helps for during the day!

    lightweight

    The texture is lightweight and absorbs super quickly, leaving my skin matte without feeling tight or dry. It keeps shine under control throughout the day and creates a smooth base for makeup—almost like a built-in primer. I’ve noticed my pores look a little less noticeable, and my T-zone stays way more balanced. If you struggle with oiliness or makeup sliding off, this moisturizer is definitely worth trying.

    Not great under make up

    It is refreshing going on the skin and it does provide a matte finish. However, if you use your fingertips to put on foundation and blush, the moisturizer rolls off all over your face.
    1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 5 months ago
    Hello Alisa T.! Thank you for sharing your experience with our Effaclar Mat Mattifying Face Moisturizer for Oily Skin. We're so pleased to hear that you find its application refreshing and appreciate the matte finish it provides, which is exactly what it's designed to deliver for oily skin types. We also truly appreciate you highlighting the issue where the moisturizer seems to roll off when applying foundation and blush with fingertips. This can sometimes occur when multiple layers of products are applied, especially if one hasn't fully set, or if there's a particular technique that leads to friction. To help prevent this, we often recommend allowing the moisturizer to absorb completely into the skin for a minute or two before proceeding with makeup application. Sometimes, using a gentle patting motion rather than rubbing, or even trying a damp sponge or brush for foundation application, can help ensure a smoother layering process. Your detailed feedback is incredibly valuable to us as we continuously strive to optimize our formulations and user experience.
    Alisa T.

    Burns a little when I use it, pills later in the day. I like the feeling of it but there are definitely better moisturizers for this price point.

    Perfect For Oily and Combination Skin

    The texture is lightweight and silky, making it easy to apply. Its fast absorption leaves the skin with a matte finish, perfect for oily or combination skin. The scent is very subtle, almost unnoticeable, which I like for daily use. In terms of effectiveness, it controls shine well throughout the day and also works nicely as a makeup base. The packaging is practical and hygienic, with a sleek tube that’s easy to carry around🌟

    Perfect Matte Moisturizer for Oily Skin

    La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat has been a game-changer for my oily skin. It leaves my face feeling hydrated but perfectly matte, without that heavy or greasy feeling. My pores look noticeably smaller, and makeup goes on so smoothly. Definitely my go-to daily moisturizer for keeping shine under control!

    This product is amazing if you have sensitive acne prone skin. I used to break out a lot with any moisturiser but since discovering this my skin has completely changed. It’s made my skin soft and also helped the barrier. Great for anyone that has sensitive skin, it’s a game changer
