Effaclar Acne Face Wash with 4% Benzoyl Peroxide

This acne wash uses 4% benzoyl peroxide as its primary treatment ingredient, with capryloyl salicylic acid (also called LHA) added for gentle exfoliation and niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate to keep the formula from over-drying skin. Meant for daily use on acne-prone skin, though benzoyl peroxide at this strength can still be irritating for some. Rinses clean without leaving residue.
