A: Hi there, Thank you for your question. We suggest to use only one at a time per routine as-needed. Such as, using the Effaclar Salicylic Acid Serum in your AM routine and the Toner in your PM routine. If you feel your need to add the toner in addition to the Effaclar Salicylic Serum to your routine, then we suggest to start only 1-3 times per week. And always remember to wear an SPF during the day to help protect your skin!

A: Hello there! How often you use Effaclar Clarifying Solution depends on your skin's sensitivity. We recommend starting with once or twice a week to assess your skin's tolerance. Gradually increase frequency if your skin reacts well, but always prioritize gentle application. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use. Always follow product instructions and consult a dermatologist for personalized advice, especially if you have sensitive skin or use other active ingredients. Remember daily sunscreen is essential when using salicylic acid. We hope this was helpful!

A: Hey, Great question! It depends on your skin's tolerance. The La Roche Posay Effaclar Toner is formulated with active ingredients: Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid. We recommend to incorporate the toner into your routine 2-3x a week first to see how your skin reacts. Then, you are able to tone up to twice-daily morning and/or evening.

A: Hi Kit! This product is a great toner for very oily skin. Hope this helps!

A: Hello there ArielWeed! While both the Effaclar Clarifying Solution and retinol serums can be beneficial for acne-prone skin, combining them might be too irritating for some, especially those with sensitive skin. It's generally recommended to avoid using both products at the same time, especially initially. If you do want to incorporate both into your routine, you might try alternating them, using one in the morning and the other in the evening. However, it is always best to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice tailored to your specific skin type and concerns. They can help you determine the best way to use these products, if at all, to achieve your desired results without causing irritation or other adverse reactions.
