Efflorescence refers to the process where wet particles decrease in size through losing water to eventually crystallize out. An example of an efflorescent substance is the common Copper(II) sulfate crystal (CuSO4.5H2O), a blue crystalline solid that when exposed to air, slowly loses water of crystallization from its surface to crystallise to form a white layer of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate.

What is the difference between efflorescent and hygroscopic?

Efflorescent substances (e.g. sodium carbonate decahydrate, copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate) lose some or all of their water of crystallisation when exposed to the air.
