Why use La Roche-Posay Lipikar cleansing oil for atopic skin?
Lipikar AP+ cleansing oil is a high-tolerance, lipid-replenishing, anti-irritation and anti-scratching cleansing care. It is specifically designed for very dry skin prone to atopic eczema. It cleanses with extreme gentleness, immediately soothes itching sensations, protects the skin from the drying effects of hard water and helps space out severe dryness flare-ups by acting on the skin microbiome.
Is Lipikar suitable for the face?
Yes, Lipikar AP+ cleansing oil has very high skin and eye tolerance. It has been tested for safe use on the face, body and even the scalp of infants (particularly for cradle cap). It doesn't sting the eyes, making it a universal cleanser that's effective and gentle for the most fragile skin.
Can Lipikar be used on the genital area?
Yes, this cleansing oil is perfectly suited to external intimate hygiene. Its gentle soap-free formula, enriched with Niacinamide (a soothing active) and Shea Butter (lipid-replenishing), respects the balance of sensitive mucous membranes. It helps calm irritation, redness and feelings of discomfort in this area, often made worse by overly harsh cleansers.
Is it suitable for infants?
Absolutely. It is suitable from the first days of life for babies' daily hygiene. Its formula contains the patented ingredient Aqua Posae Filiformis, which acts on the skin microbiome to strengthen the skin of very young children, often prone to atopy or constitutional dryness, thereby protecting their skin capital from birth.
Does it leave a greasy film?
No, although it is a cleansing oil rich in nourishing lipids, it emulsifies on contact with water to create a fine, light lather. It rinses off very easily and leaves no greasy or sticky residue on the skin or in the bath. It simply leaves the skin soft, supple and comfortable, with no tacky feeling.
