La Roche-Posay

Q: How much is La Roche-Posay cleanser in Egypt?

Prices are on each product above in EGP and we keep them current. The Effaclar cleanser comes in 200ml and 400ml, and the 400ml works out cheaper per use if it's already your regular cleanser.

Q: Which La Roche-Posay moisturiser for oily skin?

Effaclar Mat if your skin is oily and otherwise fine. Effaclar H Iso-Biome if it's oily but also flaking, tight, or irritated from acne treatment. That second case is far more common than people expect.

Q: Is the sunscreen okay for acne-prone skin?

The Oil Control and UV Air textures are formulated non-comedogenic and finish dry, which is why they get recommended alongside Effaclar rather than in spite of it.

Q: Does Mela B3 work on melasma?

It's formulated for that kind of stubborn pigmentation, but it needs months and it needs daily sunscreen. Without the sunscreen the spots come back and the serum gets blamed.

Q: Can I use Effaclar Duo+M all over my face?

You can, but it's designed as a treatment and most people find it drying used that way. Thin layer where the breakouts are, moisturiser everywhere.

Q: Is it the same product sold in French pharmacies?

Yes, same formulas, and prices here are in EGP with delivery to all governorates.

La Roche-Posay is a French pharmacy skincare brand organised by concern: Effaclar for oil and breakouts, Anthelios for sun protection, Cicaplast for repair and Toleriane for sensitive skin.
