    Ingredients

    I was recommended this and the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel by a dermatologist, but I'm a bit skeptical since I'm on Epiduo, and will soon switch to Aklief to treat acne scars. Is it safe to use them at the same time? Can I possibly use one in the morning and one in the evening?

      Hey Amalie 🌟 So nice that you got a recommendation from a dermatologist – both Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel and Effaclar DUO+M are gentle, effective products developed specifically for blemished skin and acne 🌿✨ When using products like Epiduo and later Aklief, the skin is often a bit more sensitive than usual – so it’s important to be a little extra careful with what you combine them with. The Effaclar series is generally safe to use alongside prescription treatments, but we recommend introducing the products gradually and monitoring how your skin reacts 💧 ✅ A tip could be to use: The cleansing gel (Foaming Gel) both morning and night – it’s gentle and well-suited as a daily cleanser. Effaclar DUO+M possibly just in the morning, and use the prescription treatment in the evening (or vice versa – depending on what your doctor recommends). If your skin feels very dry, red, or irritated, it might be wise to ease up on usage a bit and focus more on hydration and barrier-strengthening products 🌸 We always recommend double-checking the combination with your dermatologist, as they know your skin condition best 😊 Wishing you a lovely day ahead!

      Hey there 💌 Thanks for the question – it’s so great that you’re aware of what you’re using on your skin! This product contains an ingredient that can trigger fungal acne in some cases, but it’s important to remember that not everyone will react to the ingredient alone. When it comes to ingredients that can potentially clog pores or affect the skin, it’s actually the entire composition of the product – how all the ingredients work together – that has the most say in how the skin reacts. Skin is incredibly individual 💫 Some may find it works just fine even with sensitive or unbalanced skin, while others may need to be a bit more cautious. That’s why we always recommend testing the product carefully first, especially if you know your skin is prone to fungal acne. This will be a good alternative for skin that is prone to acne: lyko.com/no/hudpleie/ansikte/ansiktsrengjoring/renseskum/anua-8-hyaluronic-acid-hydrating-gentle-foaming-cleanser-150-ml Wishing you a lovely day ahead 🌞
