- Q
Can I use this with a cleanser that already has Salicylic Acid in it? Will both overdo?
- Asked by Sweetsam
- Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BEHello there! Using our Effaclar Clarifying Solution, which contains salicylic acid, with a cleanser that also contains salicylic acid could potentially be too much for some skin types. Overdoing it with salicylic acid can lead to dryness, irritation, and redness. It's generally recommended to incorporate one salicylic acid product into your routine at a time, especially when starting. You could alternate between the two products, using the salicylic acid cleanser in the morning and the Effaclar solution in the evening, or vice-versa. This way, you can benefit from the ingredient without over-exfoliating your skin. Observe how your skin reacts and adjust your routine accordingly. If you experience any dryness or irritation, reduce the frequency of use or switch to a gentler cleanser without salicylic acid. A dermatologist can provide personalized advice based on your skin type and concerns.Was this answer helpful to you

When you almost give up.
I developed horrendous menopausal acne and had tried a 100 and one options. I recently cleaned out my bathroom cabinets and got rid of at least 30 useless products. Why were they useless? Mostly because I am very sensitive - and they contained harsh products - so I tried charcoal and banana skin and...

Might be breaking me out
As far as chemical exfoliants go, this stuff is very well tolerated by my sensitive skin (no burning, tingling, or redness.) Because of this I was sooo happy and thought I'd *finally* found a toner I can tolerate. However, I was using this on my chest, neck, and face maybe 2-3 times a week and I not...

Absolutely love
Best purchase I've ever made in skincare. It's effective yet gentle on my sensitive skin. Great for acne/acne prone skin too
Too Harsh
My boyfriend and I used this product and it irritated our skin to the point of having it dry and flake for days. The stuff is way too harsh to put on skin.
Awesome!
I use this almost every morning. I'm going through perimenopause and getting acne from the hormones. This product is super lightweight, doesn't have a smell, dries really fast, and does not dry your face out! Some toners can leave your face feeling slightly sticky afterwards, this one absolutely does not! And that's why I like this one so much!
Love it!
Love this product. Honestly the whole La Roche Posay line has been my go to brand for the past 6+ months. This toner has tremendously helped improve my texture along with controlling my breakouts. I use day and night and follow with my serums!
