The Moisturiser Daisy Edgar-Jones Reaches For
Discover the simple, skin-balancing moisturiser Daisy Edgar-Jones relies on for oily, unpredictable skin, and why it works.
When Daisy Edgar-Jones first appeared in Normal People, she quickly became someone people felt connected to. At a time when the world felt uncertain, she was quietly everywhere, and since then, with roles in Where the Crawdads Sing and Twisters, she’s continued to define a kind of beauty on and off screen that feels effortless, not overworked.
It’s no surprise that she gravitates towards our brand of the month, La Roche-Posay skincare, known for doing exactly what skin needs, without overcomplicating it.
Finding what works
Daisy has spoken openly about having oily skin and dealing with acne throughout her teenage years, something she recently shared in her Vogue beauty secrets video. With hormonal changes, including living with endometriosis, her skin hasn’t always been predictable.
But rather than overloading her routine, she’s found products that meet her skin where it is. The kind you can rely on, even when things feel out of balance.
The moisturiser Daisy reaches for
It’s that same thinking that seemingly brings her back to La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat.
Loved for its simplicity, it’s a moisturiser designed specifically for oily, blemish-prone skin, helping to reduce excess shine, improve the appearance of pores, and support a clearer, more balanced complexion over time.
As Kimberley Medd, our in-house expert, shares, “It’s a formula I regularly recommend. You can use it morning and night to help control excess oil, while still supporting even sensitive skin.”
What makes it stand out is how deliberately it’s been formulated:
- Uses Sebulyse to help regulate excess sebum at the source to mattify
- Lightweight, oil-free and non-comedogenic (AKA suitable for even sensitive skin)
- Visibly mattifies without leaving skin feeling tight or stripped
- Designed to sit comfortably under makeup or SPF without pilling
- Free from soap, parabens, alcohol and added fragrance to focus on what matters
