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

La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Moisturizing Wash is a soap-free, foaming face and body cleanser formulated to gently clean while delivering immediate and lasting hydration for dry, sensitive skin.

This lightweight foaming wash is designed for the whole family, from newborns to adults, and combines shea butter, glycerin and niacinamide with La Roche-Posay’s thermal prebiotic water to cleanse without stripping the skin. Allergy-tested and fragrance-free, the formula aims to soothe tightness after bathing and support the skin’s moisture barrier so skin feels softer and more comfortable starting in the shower.

How does this wash hydrate skin during and after the shower?

The cleanser contains humectants and lipids that attract and lock in moisture while it foams, leaving a hydrated feel rather than tightness. Clinical testing and ingredient choices are intended to provide up to 24 hours of hydration beginning with use in the shower.

• Glycerin draws water into the outer skin layers for immediate moisturization.
• Shea butter helps restore the skin’s hydrolipidic film to reduce dryness.
• Niacinamide contributes to a smoother, more comfortable skin surface.
• Prebiotic thermal water helps rebalance the skin’s natural ecosystem.

Is this suitable for eczema-prone or very sensitive skin?

The formula is fragrance-free, soap-free and allergy-tested, with acceptance from the National Eczema Association, making it appropriate for many people with eczema-prone or reactive skin. It’s designed to be non-irritating while still providing a gentle, effective cleanse.

• National Eczema Association accepted for suitability with sensitive, eczema-prone skin.
• Free from parabens and perfume to limit common irritants.
• Dermatologist-tested for safety on delicate skin types.
• Non-comedogenic and gentle enough for face and body use.

Can this product be used for babies and on the face?

Yes — the gentle, non-stripping formulation is presented as safe for newborns (as indicated) and the entire family. The mild surfactant system foams softly, cleansing skin and hair without harsh detergents, so it can be used on both body and face for daily care.

• Formulated for infants, children and adults — suitable from early weeks of life.
• Foaming texture rinses clean without leaving heavy residue.
• Soap-free surfactants reduce the risk of barrier disruption on delicate skin.
• Paired well with a follow-up moisturizer for enhanced barrier repair.

How should I incorporate this wash into my skincare routine?

Use the foaming wash during your regular bathing routine, then follow with a nourishing moisturizer to maximize barrier repair and hydration retention. For best results, apply a compatible emollient like Lipikar Triple Repair Moisturizer immediately after patting skin dry.

• Apply to wet skin, lather gently, then rinse thoroughly.
• Pat skin dry—do not vigorously rub—to preserve hydration.
• Follow with a moisturizer to lock in benefits and support barrier recovery.
• Use daily or as directed by a dermatologist for ongoing dryness management.
