This French pharmacy moisturiser is the answer to combating shine and blackheads
Here’s what our Review Crew® had to say about this anti-shine moisturiser
The product
Oily skin can lead to a number of skin woes including enlarged pores, blackheads and unwanted skin texture caused by built-up sebum and impurities, so the fact that cult French pharmacy brand La Roche-Posay has created an anti-shine moisturiser that helps to tackle all of these issues *plus* can be used to create the perfect priming base under makeup makes it a must-try for oily and combination skin types.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar K (+) contains LHA and salicylic acid, which work to exfoliate skin and unclog pores. The presence of carnosine works to interrupt the oxidation process that gives blackheads their dark colour, while Airlicium™, a molecule that can absorb up to 150 times its volume in sebum, helps mattify skin for a lasting anti-shine finish.

Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
