There are many cosmetics for the face, which, instead of protecting, moisturizing and restoring the skin, on the contrary, cause a lot of problems. And one of these problems is the overdrying of the epidermis due to the aggressive composition of the product.
There is no need to talk about the negative effects of external factors: the sun, wind, frost - all this leads to dryness and skin irritation. There are many remedies for dealing with such problems. For example, La Roche Posay Effaclar H. Cream
Brief description of the cream
Gel-cream Effaclar H is a development of the French brand La Roche, which has recently been so often mentioned by many celebrities.
This cream is designed for oily skin type, which suffers from overdrying with the accompanying itching, redness and peeling. In addition to eliminating these unpleasant sensations, “Efaclar N” also deeply moisturizes the skin, nourishes and protects it, forming a thin invisible film on the surface of the epidermis.
In addition, the tool improves the functioning of the sebaceous glands, which leads to a decrease in oily sheen. Therefore, Effaclar H can be applied as a base for makeup. He mattes with dignity.
Effectiveness Effaclar H
Cream La Roche Posay Effaclar H, according to manufacturers, is effective after the first few applications. And many women in the reviews say that the result is tangible after the first use. So what is the effect? The following are noted:
- the skin calms down, redness passes;
- softness and velvet are felt to the touch;
- itching and peeling gradually decrease;
- the number of acne and the regularity of their manifestations are reduced;
- less oily sheen on the surface of the skin.
The cream acts on the deeper layers of the dermis. This is one of the reasons why, after the first application, half of the skin problems are eliminated.
Another reason for quick effectiveness is the enriched Effaclar H. Moisturizer.
Positive points
The quick effectiveness of the cream is not the only advantage of La Roche. Another advantage is that:
- it increases its effectiveness in combination with medications, whose action is also aimed at eliminating skin problems;
- it does not contain alcohol (this is logical, because it is this component that dries the skin);
- the tool is completely non-comedogenic, that is, it does not clog pores and does not lead to the appearance of comedones;
- after absorbing the cream, no greasy or sticky marks remain on the skin surface.
An allergic reaction to any components of the product is possible. But, judging by the reviews of La Roche Posay Effaclar H cream, this negative point is extremely rare.
Structure
It is the composition of the cream that determines its effectiveness in the first place. The almost complete absence or minimal amount of chemically aggressive substances increases the demand for the cream.
So, the composition of "Efaklar N" contains the following components:
- MP lipids. This is a recently developed type of substances that affect the accelerated formation of moisturizing components, as well as the synthesis of lipids and proteins, the main function of which is to protect the skin from the inside and outside.
- Niacinamide is a component that relieves inflammation and itching of the skin, prevents bacteria from entering the skin cells, and also increases the protective function of the epidermis and prevents the decrease of this function.
- Ceramide 5 is a lipid molecule composed of amino alcohol and fatty acid. The function of these molecules is to prevent moisture loss and restore skin elasticity.
- Squalene is a component isolated from sebum. To obtain squalene, olive oil is extracted. The function of this component is to soften the skin, smooth peeling.
- Shea butter - moisturizes, softens and removes inflammation on the face. The component resembles the structure of skin cells and also replenishes the hydrolipidic balance of the epidermis.
- Vitamin E - disinfects, smoothes and rejuvenates the skin of the face. Another function is to prevent the oxidation of sebum on the face.
- Thermal water La Roche Posay. This active element fills the cells of the dermis with moisture, softens its surface, and eliminates the activity of free radicals.
- Glycerin is a substance that protects against moisture loss and external factors.
The composition is not limited to this. It is also represented by inorganic chemistry products, which nevertheless do not harm health. But some of them can provoke the appearance of allergic rashes. Reading the instructions will prevent this side effect.
Tube and Packaging Overview
Effaclar H Moisturizing Cream Gel is packaged in a 40 ml tube, which is also packed in a box of thick white cardboard. It displays all the necessary information: composition, effectiveness of the cream. There is even a small instruction for Effaclar H. cream. On top of the box is the identification mark of a French company - a blue rectangle, below which the name of the company La Roche Posay is printed.
On the tube, the same information is duplicated already in English, so you should not immediately get rid of the box. Read the information first. The tube is compact.

In general, the tube is similar in design to a box. Taking into account all the details of packaging design will allow you not to purchase a fake.
Internal content
All the most important is inside the tube. Means "Efaklar N" has an average consistency between cream and gel. That is, it does not spread, but also does not have a high density.
When you open the lid of the tube, a subtle pleasant aroma is felt. The color of the cream gel is a dense white.
It is easily, evenly applied to the skin, immediately the effect of moisturizing is felt. This is affected by the slightly watery structure of the product. But despite such a light consistency, the gel is not absorbed instantly. You will have to wait two or three minutes before applying makeup. But, as some reviews of Effaclar H cream say, the absorption rate of the product depends on the amount of cream applied. If you overdo it, you will have to wait 5-7 minutes until the gel is completely absorbed into the skin. And if you correctly calculate the right amount, it will take no more than a minute.

Effaclar H Cream Gel Reviews
If the purchase of “N” cream from “La Roche” is supposed for the first time, then it will be useful to get acquainted with the reviews of girls who have already tried the product on themselves.
What I want to note: both the moisturizer and the cleansing gel of the "H" series are practically devoid of any complaints. They are admired, bought and advised by others. Minimum complaints, and this is a huge plus for cosmetics.
What exactly causes admiration among customers?
- Hypoallergenic products, allowing you to use creams for a long time.
- The effectiveness of the funds, noticeable after the first application. As many ladies say, even if not all the imperfections are removed immediately after the first application, the itching, redness and peeling pass.
- The matting effect that oily skin lacks so much.
- The ability to apply cream on the face under makeup. The product protects the skin from the effects of not always useful decorative cosmetics, preventing moisture from evaporating from the cells of the dermis.
- The cream relieves dryness and a feeling of tightness, which cause discomfort.
- There are no age restrictions.
- The product is well absorbed, without residue, leaving no sticky or greasy residue.
- It does not show side effects when using additional therapeutic agents for acne and seborrhea.
As for the shortcomings, most of the customers agreed that the price could be a little less. Although all La Roche products are in the middle price segment.
Where can one buy?
Firmly decided that the products of "La Roche" series "N" - this is what you need for your skin? The question is aggravated: where to get this cosmetics, so as not to run into a fake?
You can purchase products from a French brand:
- At the official representative of the company through the online store "La Roche".
- In other online stores that cooperate with the manufacturer.
- In pharmacies.
Do not purchase cosmetics from an unverified representative. Such sellers offer La Roche cosmetics at very low prices. Attractive, but the quality is questionable.
How much is?
On the official Russian website of the online store, Effaclar H cream costs 1,174 rubles per tube in 40 ml.
A cleansing gel of the same company and series costs 1 013 rubles.
Both funds involve economical consumption, so their price does not harm the budget.
Conclusion
Cream "Efaclar N", according to customers, is a profitable purchase for normalizing the condition and functioning of the skin. And the quick effectiveness of the product allows you not to wait for a long time until the skin regains a healthy and well-groomed appearance.
Despite the fact that Effaclar H cream is combined with other cosmetic products of different companies, its action should be combined with La Roche products. The composition of the funds complements the action of each other, because of which skin regeneration is more intensive and effective.
When buying, be sure to read the instructions that came with the cream in the package. This will avoid common mistakes and not be disappointed in the acquisition.
