La La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat is a specialized oil-control moisturizer designed to combat shine and reduce pore size in oily, acne-prone skin. Effaclar Mat Anti-shine cream targets excess oil to mattify the skin and refine pores. This oil-free face moisturizer is formulated with micro-exfoliating lipo-hydroxy acid, which not only hydrates the skin but also leaves it looking and feeling matte.Effaclar Mat contains Sebulyse, a powerful ingredient that helps to mattify the skin and tighten pores. Clinical studies have shown that Sebulyse's sebo-regulating efficacy is superior to Zinc, which is the standard active ingredient used to address oily skin concerns. Lipo-Hydroxy Acid, also known as LHA, is a derivative of salicylic acid and has exfoliating and skin surface renewing properties.The formula also includes Perlite, a powder derived from volcanic rock that absorbs water and oil, providing a matte finish on the skin. Silica, a spherical bead-shaped powder, offers a silky feel and a soft focus effect while absorbing excess oil. Glycerin, derived from vegetable sources, is an excellent humectant that helps hydrate the skin by absorbing water from the surrounding environment.Dimethicone, a silicone-based polymer, acts as a skin protectant to reduce water loss. Salicylic Acid, known for its effective exfoliating properties, is ideal for those concerned with clogged pores and oily skin. It helps clear and refine the appearance of pores.La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, a soothing water and core ingredient in most La Roche-Posay products, contains a unique combination of minerals, trace elements, and a high concentration of selenium, a natural antioxidant. With daily use, skin texture improves, pores appear tightened, and shine linked to sebum production is controlled.
