Retinyl Linoleate [0.05%]: Delivers both retinol and linoleic acid to target the source of repeated pore clogging. Retinol (vitamin A) normalizes epidermal cell turnover and diminishes cell cohesion, while linoleic acid, a fatty acid, helps prevent dead cell accumulation inside pores to minimize the buildup of sebum.
The innovated technology of Effaclar K Daily Renovating Anti-Relapse Acne Treatment1 was developed as a result of in-depth research performed by L’Oréal labs into the treatment of oily and acne prone skin. Clinical testing showed a 58% reduction in overall acne imperfections and non-reoccurrence of acne imperfections (two weeks after use)3.
The fresh, hydrating and non-greasy cream-fluid smoothes skin texture while tightening and unclogging pores, delivering clearer, finer and more radiant skin without irritation. It is non-comedogenic, paraben-free and dermatologist tested, even on sensitive skin. It is suitable for use on the entire face one to two times daily.
