  • A: Hello Ella! While our Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser with Salicylic Acid is great for preventing breakouts, it works best on skin that's free of makeup. We recommend using a dedicated makeup remover first, then cleansing with Effaclar. This allows the cleanser to effectively target pores and prevent breakouts. You can find makeup removers tailored for different skin types, including acne-prone skin, within the La Roche-Posay range. This two-step approach will enhance your skincare routine.
