Common questions

Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel healthy?

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel scores 36/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel?

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel lists 9 ingredients, starting with Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Peg-8, Coco-betaine, Hexylene Glycol and Peg-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.
