La Roche-Posay Effaclar Supramolecular Cleansing Gel is a daily purifying cleanser tailored for shine-prone skin with visible pores. It draws out excess oil, pollutants, and impurities in one simple step, leaving the complexion feeling fresh right from the first wash. The formula uses a supramolecular delivery system to co-deliver salicylic acid and niacinamide, boosting their combined effect on oil control and pore clarity. The gel turns into a creamy foam on contact with skin, cleansing deeply yet avoiding tightness or disruption of the skin’s natural balance. Suitable for daily use on oily, combination, and acne-prone skin.

Active ingredients
- Salicylic acid: a lipophilic exfoliant that penetrates into the pore, dissolves built-up sebum, and aids in unclogging.
- Niacinamide: helps regulate sebum production, soothes the skin, and reinforces the skin barrier.
- Zinc PCA: supports shine control and provides a purifying effect on oily skin.
- Coco-Betaine: plant-derived surfactant that softens cleansing and yields a creamy lather.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol): an antioxidant that defends skin from pollution-related oxidative damage.
