Talking Acne Awareness Month - and La Roche-Posay's skin health-focused activation
Around the world, June is officially known as Acne Awareness Month, offering acne sufferers of all ages - and their loved ones - a platform to shed some light on a skin disorder that will affect almost everyone at some point in their lives. It’s the ideal time to raise awareness and destroy the stigma around the common skin condition, helping debunk misconceptions, share information on causes and solutions and offer guidance exactly when its needed.
What Exactly is Acne?
In a nutshell: contrary to common belief, acne affects people of all age groups, not just teenagers. It occurs when hair follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin cells, which leads to inflammation and results in pimples, blackheads and cysts. Understanding the various forms of acne and clearing up common misconceptions is crucial for effective handling of the condition, whether you’re dealing with blackheads and whiteheads, inflammatory acne, or cystic acne, one of the most painful and distressing forms.
The La Roche-Posay Approach
Which brings me to La Roche-Posay, one of the most recommended skincare brands by dermatologists worldwide that works to fight against irritated skin, intolerant skin and allergic skin – as well as acne prone. Its constant recommendation by dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons should tell you all you need to know about the hype surrounding the heritage pharmacy brand, which was my go-to when my rosacea seriously made its presence felt during lockdown and is still my most-reached-for brand when it comes to sun protection.
The French brand created the EFFACLAR range specifically to support oily and acne-prone skin, and new products are constantly being added that can help bring about change and help acne sufferers really take the power back when it comes to their skin health.
With 25 years expertise in oily skin solutions, Laboratories La Roche-Posay developed the EFFACLAR range to provide not just blemish solutions, but rather a complete skincare routine for those affected by excess oil and acne, with moisturisers, serums, cleansers and targeted treatments created to match each oily skin profile.
One of the most popular formulas in the dermatologist-recommended range, the EFFACLAR Duo(+)M is a gentle but incredibly effective moisturiser that reduces blemishes and diminishes their appearance while also deeply hydrating the skin. Able to be used by all skin tones and from the age of ten years, the specialised formula gently exfoliates using Salicylic Acid to unclog pores and help prevent spots and breakouts, with visible results seen in just eight hours.
New to the EFFACLAR range are the Duo+M 3H Spot Patches, single use pimple patches that form a shield around blemishes and help draw out impurities while keeping moisture balanced. Clinically proven to visibly reduce spots from three hours after application, they are the secret weapon to have on hand when spots strike out of nowhere – and usually when you least want them to.
You can explore and purchase the full EFFACLAR range at Chemist Warehouse nationwide, with a series of educational and fun activations rolling out especially for Acne Awareness Month. Inside Chemist Warehouse’s Ultra Beauty stores during the month of June, consumers can use the super clever SpotScan+ AI skin check tool to identify their unique skin concerns and work out which La Roche-Posay products are best suited to them. Co-developed with a dermatologist, everyone leaves with a personalised routine and a fresh insight into the skin condition – which doesn’t have to ruin your life.
Love that!
