La Roche-Posay Gentle Foaming Moisturizing Wash — Shea Butter & Niacinamide, Soap-Free Fragrance-Free

Formulated to be kind to fragile skin, this foaming wash combines shea butter, glycerin, and niacinamide with La Roche-Posay Prebiotic Thermal Water to cleanse without stripping. The pump bottle delivers a creamy foam designed for everyday showers, offering immediate soothing and hydration that supports the skin’s natural barrier. Clinically tested, allergy tested, and accepted by the National Eczema Association, Lipikar AP+ Wash is marketed for the whole family, including babies from two weeks old.

How does Lipikar AP+ clean without drying my skin?

Rather than harsh detergents or soap, this formula uses gentle surfactants and emollients that lift away dirt while leaving protective lipids behind. The blend of glycerin and shea butter helps retain moisture, while niacinamide supports comfort and reduces the feeling of tightness after rinsing.

• Soap-free, fragrance-free foaming texture that rinses clean.
• Glycerin attracts and holds moisture at the skin surface.
• Shea butter replenishes lipids to prevent post-shower dryness.
• Niacinamide soothes and supports barrier resilience.

Can I use this wash on both my face and body?

Yes — Lipikar AP+ is formulated for use on face and body for dry, sensitive skin types. Its non-comedogenic and gentle profile makes it suitable for areas prone to sensitivity, while the foaming action makes it easy to apply in the shower or at the sink.

• Safe for daily facial cleansing for sensitive, dry skin.
• Effective as an all-over body wash, including delicate areas and baby skin.
• Non-comedogenic—won’t clog pores when used on the face.
• Acceptable for newborns from two weeks, children, and adults.

What ingredients provide the moisturizing and soothing effects?

The wash combines hydrating humectants, nourishing lipids, and a soothing vitamin derivative to ease dryness and maintain hydration. La Roche-Posay’s thermal water and a patented prebiotic ferment work alongside shea butter, glycerin, and niacinamide to support skin comfort and microbial balance after cleansing.

• Glycerin: humectant that pulls moisture into the skin surface.
• Shea Butter: replenishes the skin’s hydrolipidic film to lock in moisture.
• Niacinamide: helps calm and strengthen the skin’s barrier feel.
• Prebiotic (Vitreoscilla ferment) and thermal water for gentle support.

How does this product fit into a moisturizing routine?

This wash is designed to be the cleansing step that complements a follow-up moisturizer, such as the Lipikar AP+ Triple Repair Moisturizer, to deliver prebiotic benefits and longer-lasting hydration. Using the wash in the shower starts hydration immediately and prepares skin to better absorb and retain subsequent treatments.

• Use daily in the shower or at the sink for consistent hydration support.
• Pat skin dry lightly; follow with a moisturizer to lock in benefits.
• Recommended pairing: Lipikar AP+ Triple Repair Moisturizer for prebiotic care.
• Clinically tested and allergy tested to fit sensitive-skin routines.

Who is this for: Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Moisturizing Wash is aimed at people and families seeking a dermatologist-developed, fragrance-free cleanser for dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin who want a single product usable on face and body. It’s suitable for infants (from two weeks), children, and adults who need a non-stripping, hydrating wash that supports skin comfort and daily routines without added fragrances or parabens.
