Overview
Effaclar H Iso-Biome Hydrating Cleansing Cream is designed for a different need than the traditional oil-control products within the Effaclar range. Rather than focusing primarily on removing excess sebum, it is intended for blemish-prone skin that has become sensitive, dehydrated or uncomfortable.
The formula combines glycerin, niacinamide, Bixa orellana seed extract and shea butter with Aqua Posae Filiformis, La Roche-Posay's prebiotic biomass ingredient. The cleanser has a physiological pH and is designed to cleanse while supporting skin comfort.
It is particularly relevant where an anti-blemish skincare routine has left the skin feeling dry or fragile.

Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Blemish-prone skin does not always need stronger cleansing. Excessive cleansing and repeatedly using highly degreasing products can leave the skin feeling tight, dry and uncomfortable.
From a pharmacy skincare perspective:
- Choose your cleanser according to how your skin currently feels, rather than assuming all blemish-prone skin requires intensive oil removal.
- If your skin feels tight immediately after washing, your cleansing routine may be too aggressive.
- A gentle hydrating cleanser can be particularly useful when using drying blemish treatments.
- Niacinamide is a widely used skin-conditioning ingredient in sensitive and blemish-prone skincare.
- Glycerin is a humectant that helps support skin hydration.
- Shea butter provides emollient properties within the formulation.
- Avoid scrubbing or using very hot water on already sensitive skin.
- Pat the skin dry rather than rubbing vigorously with a towel.
- Follow cleansing with an appropriate moisturiser.
- Effaclar H Iso-Biome Moisturiser may be a suitable companion product for dry, fragile blemish-prone skin.
- Use an appropriate broad-spectrum sunscreen during the daytime, particularly if your blemish routine contains exfoliating acids or retinoids.
- If you are using prescribed acne treatment, follow the instructions given by your prescriber.
- Painful, persistent, cystic or scarring acne should be discussed with a pharmacist, GP or dermatologist rather than relying solely on cosmetic skincare.
This is a cosmetic cleansing product and should not be described as treating or curing acne.
Not Suitable For
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to an ingredient
- Use directly inside the eyes
- Anyone who develops persistent irritation following application
The current formula contains parfum/fragrance, so those with a known fragrance sensitivity should check the ingredient list carefully before use.
How to Use
- Wet the skin with lukewarm water.
- Apply a small amount of cleansing cream.
- Massage gently over the skin.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Pat the skin dry.
- Follow with your usual moisturiser.
- Use morning and/or evening according to your skincare routine.
La Roche-Posay's current directions advise gently massaging the cleanser onto wet skin before rinsing. If the product enters the eyes, rinse immediately and thoroughly.

FAQs
1. What is La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Hydrating Cleansing Cream used for?
La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Hydrating Cleansing Cream is designed to gently cleanse sensitive, dehydrated and blemish-prone skin. It is particularly relevant when the skin feels dry or uncomfortable due to an intensive blemish skincare routine. Rather than focusing solely on removing oil, the creamy formula contains ingredients including glycerin, niacinamide and shea butter to provide a more comfort-focused cleansing experience.
2. Is Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream suitable for blemish-prone skin?
Yes. It belongs to La Roche-Posay's Effaclar range and is specifically formulated for sensitive, dehydrated and blemish-prone skin. This makes it particularly useful for people whose skin remains prone to blemishes but has become dry or fragile. It is a cosmetic cleanser and should not, however, be considered a medicinal treatment for acne.
3. Is it suitable for dry skin?
It is particularly suited to dehydrated or dry-feeling blemish-prone skin. La Roche-Posay describes the Effaclar H Iso-Biome range as appropriate for dry and fragile blemish-prone skin, including skin affected by over-drying treatments. If you have dry skin without blemishes, other La Roche-Posay cleansing ranges may also be worth considering depending on your individual skincare needs.
4. Can I use Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleanser every day?
Yes. It is designed as a daily rinse-off cleanser. Massage it gently onto wet skin and rinse thoroughly. Depending on your skin and wider routine, it can be used in the morning and evening. Avoid aggressive rubbing or very hot water, particularly if your skin is already dry or sensitive.
5. Does Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream contain niacinamide?
Yes. Niacinamide is included in the current ingredient list. Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is commonly incorporated into cosmetic products designed for sensitive, oily and blemish-prone skin because of its skin-conditioning properties. This cleanser also combines niacinamide with glycerin, shea butter and Bixa orellana seed extract.
6. Does it contain shea butter?
Yes. Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, commonly known as shea butter, appears in the current formulation. Shea butter is an emollient ingredient that helps condition and soften the skin. Its inclusion helps distinguish this cleanser from some of the more oil-control-focused cleansing products within the Effaclar range.
7. Can I use this cleanser while using acne treatments?
The product is specifically designed for blemish-prone skin experiencing dryness or discomfort from over-drying treatments. However, if you are using prescribed acne medication, follow your prescriber's instructions regarding skincare products. La Roche-Posay also positions the Effaclar H Iso-Biome range for skin weakened by drying blemish treatments.
8. Can Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream be used with isotretinoin?
The wider Effaclar H Iso-Biome range is positioned by La Roche-Posay for dry, fragile blemish-prone skin, and current Effaclar information specifically identifies the H Iso-Biome moisturiser as suitable alongside prescribed oral isotretinoin. If you are taking isotretinoin, your skin can become particularly dry and sensitive, so follow the skincare advice provided by your dermatologist, GP or pharmacist.
9. Can I use this cleanser on my body?
Yes. Current product information describes Effaclar H Cleansing Cream as suitable for both the face and body. This may be useful where sensitive or blemish-prone skin extends beyond the face. Massage gently onto wet skin and rinse thoroughly rather than leaving the product on the skin.
10. What is the difference between Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream and Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel?
Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream is aimed at sensitive, dehydrated and dry-feeling blemish-prone skin. Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel is more specifically positioned for oily, blemish-prone skin and focuses on removing dirt, grime and excess sebum. Your choice should therefore depend on whether dehydration and sensitivity or excess oil and shine are the more prominent concerns.
11. Does Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream contain fragrance?
Yes. Parfum / fragrance appears in the current published ingredient list. If you have a known fragrance allergy or sensitivity, review the complete ingredient declaration before purchasing or using the cleanser. Formulations can also change, so the ingredient list printed on the product you receive should always be treated as the final reference.
12. What should I use after Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream?
After rinsing and gently drying your skin, apply a moisturiser suited to your current skin condition. La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Moisturiser is specifically designed for sensitive, dehydrated and blemish-prone skin and contains ingredients including glycerin, squalane, panthenol and niacinamide. During the daytime, finish your routine with an appropriate broad-spectrum sunscreen.
