Overall
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Acne Face Wash appears to be a potential option for oily and acne-prone skin. The combination of salicylic acid and micro-exfoliating particles targets breakouts and exfoliation. However, the potential for irritation, especially for sensitive skin, and the lack of a complete ingredient list are important considerations.
