La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Foaming Moisturizing Wash — Shea Butter & Niacinamide for Dry, Sensitive Skin, Soap-Free

This gentle foaming cleanser is made for dry to extra-dry, sensitive skin across all ages — from babies to adults — and is clinically tested and accepted by the National Eczema Association. Its mild surfactants and moisturizing actives help protect the skin barrier during washing, leaving skin feeling soothed, soft, and not stripped of essential moisture. Use with the matching Lipikar AP+ moisturizer for added prebiotic and triple-repair benefits.

How does this wash keep dry skin hydrated during and after a shower?

The formula combines humectants and emollients that attract and lock in moisture while using gentle cleansers that minimize barrier disruption. Hydration begins in the shower and can support up to 24 hours of skin comfort when paired with a moisturizer.

• Glycerin draws and retains water in the stratum corneum for immediate moisture.
• Shea butter replenishes the skin’s hydrolipidic film to reduce tightness.
• Niacinamide supports the skin’s natural barrier function and soothes sensitivity.
• Soap-free, mild foaming system reduces the risk of over-drying during cleansing.

Is this safe for sensitive skin, babies, or eczema-prone skin?

Yes — Lipikar AP+ is allergy tested, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic, and it carries National Eczema Association acceptance. The gentle ingredients and clinical testing make it suitable for delicate and reactive skin types, including newborn skin from two weeks onward.

• Accepted by the National Eczema Association for eczema-prone skin.
• Fragrance-free and formulated to minimize irritation risk.
• Dermatologist tested and clinically proven to be safe for sensitive skin.
• Suitable for whole-family use: babies, children, and adults.

What sensory and usage experience should I expect in daily routines?

The wash dispenses as a soft foam that rinses clean without leaving a heavy residue. It is designed to be used on face and body, morning or night, and it pairs well with a pump bottle for quick, no-fuss application in the shower or bath.

• Light, comforting foam that rinses easily and leaves skin soft.
• Non-stripping texture—no harsh tight feeling after drying.
• Pump-ready packaging for convenient single-handed use in the shower.
• Recommended follow-up: apply Lipikar AP+ Triple Repair Moisturizer for added prebiotic support.

Which key ingredients are included and what do they do?

• Glycerin — a humectant that helps retain moisture in the skin.
• Niacinamide — supports barrier function and skin comfort.
• La Roche-Posay Prebiotic Thermal Water — soothes and helps maintain skin balance.
