"I've used so many bottles of this, I've been using it for about six years straight, and it's just so so good. It's a cross between a foaming gel cleanser and a moisturizing milk cleanser, so it's moisturizing and gentle enough for my skin in deep winter when it's really suffering, [...] but it's also not too heavy [...] in the summer months when I've got oil breaking through, especially in my T-zone, and I'm prone to congestion. It meets my needs in every season."

GLOW UP OVERNIGHT! PM Skincare Routine for Plump, Glowing, Glass Skin in the AM!

"I love this mix of this foaming gel cleanser with the moisturizing gentle milky texture. It's perfect for my second cleanser. This is just going to remove any leftover residue from the cleansing oil, any little bits of makeup that are left on my face, giving me that really good clean canvas to kick off the rest of this routine. But this is so gentle on my sensitive skin. I love washing my face at the end of a long day. It is so satisfying."

My End of Winter Retinal PM Skincare Routine

"This is the La Roche-Posay Gentle Foaming Moisturizing Wash. It's a mix of a moisturizing milky cleanser and a foaming gel cleanser. It's really that perfect match for this end of the colder weather. My skin is still feeling a little dry and dehydrated. It's very nourishing and gentle, but the foaming action is great for any thick moisturizer, skincare layers, and sunscreen that I have on from my day."

5 Star Skincare Empties! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"For my sensitive skin that is prone to dehydration just a little bit stripping, La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ wash you've seen me empty so many of these throughout the years it's a five out of five. this is the one that's more of that milky type of cleanser that actually foams up on the skin. I find it very skin respectful non-stripping and perfect for my skin type."

"I absolutely love this so stinking much. It's a hybrid between a milk like moisturizing cleanser and a foaming gel type of cleanser and that's just like the perfect sweet spot for me. It's a really solid cleanser. I have multiple bottles and I'm actually halfway through another bottle of this right now. [...] Heart eyes emoji, one of my holy grails for sure."

One-Handed Skincare?! | Routine After Spraining My Wrist

"I'm going to be using the La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ wash on my face. It's a cream gel cleanser and so you see that it definitely has a little bit more moisture but it's still going to kind of foam up gently on my skin. It gives a really nice clean but there's just like a moisture element to it. There's a little shea butter in here that helps it to be kind to my skin."

Fall PM Retinal Skincare Routine + Why I Stopped Tretinoin

"I am using the La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ wash. You know, I absolutely love this stuff. It's moisturizing and creamy and really gentle but it's foaming as you can see it foams a little bit and that's exactly what I want right now with my combination skin still feeling kind of oily but also starting to feel a little bit dry and maybe a little sensitive. This is perfect for the season."

"I like this for a lot of reasons. I think it is just a really good marriage between a moisturizing milk type of cleanser and a foaming cleanser. My skin can be prone to dryness, especially if I'm going through a bout of sensitivity or irritation, my skin can feel a lot more dehydrated and dry, and so I like that moisture element to this."

Moisturizing Cleansers For Cold Weather ❄️

"Now you know I'm obsessed with this, I've been talking about it for years, I've emptied quite a few bottles, I'm about to empty this one, and this is actually something that I use year round, it's not just about chilly weather for me. The hybrid quality of this I think is what keeps it in my routine consistently. So the key ingredients here are glycerin, niacinamide and shea butter, and really this product's formulated with eczema prone skin in mind."

Stress-Free AM and PM Summer Skincare Routine

"This is the La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ wash. I love this, obviously, I'm loving it down to the last drop, but don't worry, I have a backup bottle. What I like about this is the texture is kind of like a milk and a gel all in one, so it's not super duper milky moisturizing creamy, but it's not so harsh and foamy either. It's like the perfect blend of both."

My Top Cleansers For Sensitive Skin | 2025 Edition

"It gives you that moisturizing, real gentle factor with a really nice low foaming action, but just enough foaming action to feel psychologically clean. I actually like this one in the winter time too when I still want something that kind of foams up on my skin, but something that's not going to test my skin when it starts to get really dry in the very cold temperatures."

"This is my second bottle and I use it for face and body. Of note, this also doubles as a shaving cream if you're in a pinch, and to be honest I kind of stopped buying shaving creams because I have a lot of cleansers in the shower and they're very hydrating. [...] So this is a good one to have in the shower all the time for so many reasons. Some of the key ingredients here are things like Thermal Water, shea butter, it has a little bit of niacinamide and glycerin."

"This is the Lipikar AP Plus Wash from La Roche-Posay, it's a very gentle cleanser. It's going to foam up just a little bit and feel like a nice lather on the skin, but it's not going to remove a lot of extra oil from the skin and it's not going to leave you feeling tight and dry. So this is a great option for a pre-teen."

"If you're looking for a foaming cleanser but you're looking for one that is not going to overly dry you out, or if you're on the drier side but you prefer something foamy versus creamy, I would go for the Lipicar AP Plus. It is a very gentle cleanser that does foam and tends to be milkier versus their purifying foaming cleanser."
