Effaclar H Iso-Biome Moisturiser hydrates oily skin that has been weakened by the over-drying skin effects of acne treatments, to provide long lasting comfort.

The non-comedogenic formula won't clog pores and is suitable for sensitive and oily skin types. The formula is a combination of prebiotics, panthenol, glycerin, niacinamide and thermal water for a balancing, moisturizing and soothing.

The new formula contains Orellna extract to help support the microbiome, and Niacinamide to visibly reduce redness.  Effaclar H Iso-Biome Moisturiser has an ultra-light texture with non-greasy, non-sticky finish.

Super gentle and moisturising

This moisturiser is pretty much perfect for skin that can be sensitive, or prone to a bit of stinging after using products with active ingredients. The texture is lovely, creamy but feels silky and sinks in quickly. Zero pilling when I wore makeup, which is great. I only had a very small stinging feeling one day of the three weeks that I used this, and I put it down to a sore red nose after a cold. I will repurchase to keep in my stash to use when my skin is sensitive, but it is a bit too expensive for me to use as my everyday... its a small tube and in the low $30s. So definitely a winner, just not for everyday (and night).

Tips: Use with the Iso biome wash to look after sensitive skin :-) great combo

A pleasant surprise

I have acne-prone and sensitive skin and was pleasantly surprised by this moisturiser. It's lightweight and not greasy and absorbs well. The formula seemed a little thin/watery and wasn't as creamy as I expected. I was also a little hesitant at first because of the fragrance (fragrance normally = irritation for my skin) but I haven't had a reaction so far. The smell reminds me a little of those tangy apple lollies, but it dissipates quickly. My skin is definitely hydrated and smoother, especially my nose which was blackhead prone prior to using this. The redness I normally experience has gone. I still get breakouts, but they don't last as long as usual and definitely don't get as 'angry'. I was pleasantly surprised by this cream, it would be nice to have it in a larger size. Great hydration without being heavy and greasy.

Tips: Can be used morning and night

Nice but not perfect

I'm always excited to try anything La Roche - they have such a great reputation and I've had real success with some of their products in the past. This moisturiser, however, was not as wonderful as I would hoping it would be.

The pros: it had a lovely texture - really silky and not greasy at all. I also really liked the subtle fresh scent which went away quite quickly after using. It felt nice on my face, didn't give me that faint sting like other products can do sometimes if your face is feeling a bit dry and upset.

The main con I had was issue with pilling. I tried with my normal serums underneath, then with the serums but 25-30 mins for them to dry before I applied the moisturiser and every time I had pilling on the sides of my face and my forehead by the end of the day which was frustrating. For that reason alone I probably wouldn't repurchase, as this product is a little on the pricier end and I have other moisturisers that do a good job and don't pill.

Tips: A great choice if you don't intend to layer any other products underneath it in your skincare routine.

La Roche-Posay another beauty!

Such a hydrating light moisturiser!

When I opened the box and seen the small container it came in I was a bit skeptical about it, but it has a beautiful light scent, it smooths over skin so nicely and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin.

I suffer with bad dryness over winter and this product has been amazing with dealing with my dryness.

Will I purchase again… 100% Do i recommend to others… 100%

Beautiful light but very moisturising product!!

Great texture

I was surprised to find this was scented (jasmine I think?). Scented products can go either way for me, so I'm pleased to say this one didn't irritate my sensitive skin.

I really loved this product. It's a nice texture and not too heavy - it sinks into the skin well. It manages to be moisturizing while also leaving my skin with a matte finish. Usually during winter I have to use extra moisturizer to fight dryness but this works great even when only using a small amount. Don't let the small size of the bottle out you off, it goes further than you think it will!

After using this for a month, my skin is feeling smooth and more matte - it's definitely keeping my oil production down. I didn't notice much difference in my redness though.

Note I used this in combination with the cleansing cream.

Tips: Start with a small amount and see how you go.

Meets all my moisturiser needs!

The packing size of the La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Moisturiser only 40ml and it appears to be priced at around $36 making it a mid-range moisturiser. I like that it comes in a tube and not a jar as I always worry about bacteria spreading through my moisturiser as soon as I put my finger in it!

I apply a small amount of the product to my face after cleansing and applying a serum which is designed to combat oily and breakout prone skin. The La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Moisturiser is lightweight, smells nice and absorbs beautifully leaving my skin feeling soft and gorgeous. I’ve also found it makes a nice base for make-up being non-greasy and it doesn’t break me out!

This is probably the best moisturiser for my skin I’ve ever used, I only wish the tube was bigger as I’ll need to repurchase it often!

Tips: Use in conjunction with the La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Biome Cleanser to calm sensitive and acne-treated skin.

Nice, plain moisturiser for sensitive skin

I received this moisturiser along with the La Roche-Posay cream cleanser and have been using them together. This is a small tube without a box and again is the usual plain white with some blue and you can definitely tell it's from La Roche-Posay by looking at it.

This moisturiser smells nice, doesn't have a strong smell and is a nice consistency - not too runny or too thick. It feels nice when applied to the skin and doesn't feel greasy and absorbs well into my skin. I like how it is great for sensitive skin and I even use it around my eye area without issue.

Again this moisturiser has Niacinamide to visibly reduce redness, and in use with the cleanser I do think this has made an impact on my skin :)

I will continue using this product as I do like it and think it has helped with my skin sensitivity, along with the cleanser a great product.

Tips: Nope, just use as you would a normal moisturiser after cleansing etc

Impressed!! Same as the cleanser

What coincidence for this cleanser and cream to arrive! My hormonal breakouts began to brew the evening before and I thought I was going to be in for another deep, hormonal pimple on the chin. I used the cleanser and cream in the evening instead of my normal go to and woke to fins that 50% of redness and pain was gone! I can't wait to see if it has the same, magical effects next month! I wanted to get the amazing part out in front first as I have a little concern/feedback about the packaging. I found it EXTREMELY difficult to workout what type of product I had and I struggled to decifer how to use each. I would love to see more English so I can make sure I'm using it the optimal way and understand what ingredients are present.

Night time friend, day time frenemy

This one isn't too shabby - it doesn't really have a scent and the consistency/texture is fine, not upsetting at all. I do feel like it provides some moisture but wouldn't say it was a game changer, I've ended up leaning towards my CeraVe when I feel dry instead - which I'm surprised by as I adore the La Roche-Posay BB cream for supple moisture! I also found this pilled a bit so only use at night, as it didn't work well under foundation - however it did feel sort of like a primer in that it helped 'blur' the skin somehow! Not sure I'd say it moisturised that well but perhaps the cleanser just dried me out more than anticipated!

Tips: Use it at night only if you're planning to wear foundation as the combo doesn't seem to work so well

An amazing moisturiser!

This cream is a great comfort for your skin, makes your skin feel really soft and definitely does what it says it should and moisturisers. I find it hard to find a decent moisturiser that doesn’t make your skin feel oily after applying. This one works well with my sensitive skin and helps keep those monthly blemishes away when used with the cleanser for the added backup.
