La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil harnesses the power of ingredients that have been proven to improve dry to extra-dry, sensitive skin. A key ingredient is La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, which is sourced from France and helps soothe and comfort the skin thanks to its rich content of minerals, trace elements and selenium, a powerful antioxidant.
This calming cleansing oil is also formulated with sustainably sourced shea butter from Burkina Faso in West Africa, which provides much-needed hydration and helps lock moisture into the skin. La Roche-Posay has also partnered with 20,000 women in Burkina Faso to harvest the shea nuts, and all shea butter extraction is performed locally to boost these rural economies. The addition of niacinamide provides soothing benefits and helps rebalance the skin barrier while glycerin helps attract moisture from the environment to optimize skin hydration.
Consumers with dry to extra-dry, sensitive skin agree La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil gets their routine off to a great start. Based on a consumer study after four weeks, here are some of the impressive results:
98% said it gently cleanses the skin
90% said it leaves the skin soothed
87% said it leaves the skin hydrated
In addition to effective hydration and soothing, this oil-to-foam cleanser is ideal for the entire family. Safe for babies two weeks old and up, La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil has their hygiene and moisturizing needs covered, including areas prone to dryness, such as the scalp. This gentle yet effective formula is also suitable for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (However, you should consult your cancer-care team prior to use). For optimal patient safety and results, La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil is dermatologist-, sensitive skin- and allergy-tested as well as non-comedogenic and free of soap, phthalates, parabens and fragrance-free.
