La Roche-Posay · Acne & Oily Routine

The La Roche-Posay Acne & Oily Routine brings together the Effaclar range for skin that tends to shine, feel congested, or show visible blemishes. From foaming cleansers to mattifying moisturizers, serums and SPF, this collection lets you build a step-by-step routine suited to oily and acne-prone skin, all from one trusted dermo-cosmetic brand.

How to build an oily-skin routine

A consistent routine usually starts with cleansing. The Effaclar Foaming Cleansing Gel is designed for oily to combination skin and is also available as an Effaclar Gel Moussant refill for those who prefer to top up their existing bottle. For a deeper cleanse, the Effaclar Micropeeling Cleansing Gel with salicylic acid offers a texture aimed at oily skin's needs.

After cleansing, many people look to targeted care such as the Effaclar Acne Serum with salicylic acid and niacinamide, or one of the Effaclar Duo+ creams — including the Duo+M formula and the SPF30 version for daytime use. The Effaclar Duo+M 3H Spot Patches are a discreet option for localized use on visible blemishes. To finish, a lightweight moisturizer like the Effaclar Mat Mattifying Moisturizer helps balance the look and feel of oily skin, while the Effaclar H Isobiome Hydrating Cream suits those wanting a gentler, hydrating step within the same line.

Choosing the right products for your skin

Not every oily or acne-prone routine needs every step. Some people start with just a cleanser and moisturizer, then add a serum or spot treatment as needed. Sun protection remains an important part of any daytime routine — the Anthelios Invisible Sunscreen Face Mist SPF50 and the Anthelios UVMune 400 Oil Control Invisible Fluid SPF50+ are both formulated with oily skin in mind, offering lighter, non-greasy finishes. For those buying in bulk or wanting extra value, the Effaclar Foaming Cleansing Gel is also available as a 400ml plus 200ml bundle.

If you're unsure which combination suits your skin, browse the wider La Roche Posay Acne and Oily Skin range or explore the full La Roche-Posay Cleanser selection to find a texture and format that fits your daily habits. It's always worth checking the product label and speaking with a pharmacist if you have specific skin concerns, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are using other treatments alongside your routine — a pharmacist can help you choose products appropriate to your situation.
