La Roche Posay Lipikar Oil - 3.38 fl oz

A: Hi Judy.Thank you for reaching out to La Roche Posay regarding the Lipikar Oil. This oil-to-foam body and face cleanser provides up to 24-hour hydration starting in the shower. It gently removes dirt and debris while cleansing without stripping the skin. The formula helps protect against moisture loss associated with washing and supports skin comfort — an important consideration for very dry or sensitive skin. I you're using waterproof make-up this will not remove it.

A: Hello Aisha! Our Lipikar AP+ Cleansing Oil is primarily formulated as a hydrating face and body wash designed to soothe and protect very dry to extra-dry, sensitive skin. While the oil-based formula is effective at gently lifting away surface impurities and can certainly assist in removing light facial makeup, its main function is to provide long-lasting moisture and help restore the skin barrier during the cleansing process. It contains nourishing ingredients like shea butter, niacinamide, and our prebiotic thermal water to shield the skin from the drying effects of hard water. To get the most out of this cleanser, we recommend applying it to wet skin and massaging it gently until it forms a light, milky emulsion before rinsing. For those wearing heavy or waterproof cosmetics, using this as the second step in a double-cleansing routine is an excellent way to ensure all residue is removed while leaving the skin feeling exceptionally soft and comfortable.
