Q: Hello, can this face wash be used as an all-in-one face wash that removes makeup as well as prevent acne-breakouts? Thank you!
A: Hey Ella, Great question! The La Roche Posay Effaclar acne face cleanser does not have makeup removing qualities.We recommend to double cleanse with a cleansing oil or balm first, then follow up with this acne medicated cleanser to achieve best results!

submitted byTarget Beauty Consulting - 5 months agoBrand expertA: 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.
