Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Dry and eczema-prone skin often benefits from gentle cleansing and regular moisturising.
From a pharmacy skincare perspective:
- Avoid very hot showers and baths where possible, as heat can increase dryness.
- Use lukewarm water for cleansing.
- Avoid harsh soaps if they leave skin feeling tight or uncomfortable.
- Pat the skin dry rather than rubbing vigorously with a towel.
- Apply an appropriate moisturiser shortly after washing to help maintain hydration.
- For very dry skin, follow with a richer product such as Lipikar AP+Max.
- Glycerin is commonly used in skincare to help maintain hydration.
- If your skin is eczema-prone, keep the rest of your skincare routine simple and fragrance-conscious.
- Persistent, weeping, infected or severely inflamed eczema should be assessed by a pharmacist, GP or dermatologist.
- Babies and young children with persistent unexplained skin irritation should be reviewed by an appropriate healthcare professional.
- A cosmetic cleanser can support daily skincare but does not replace prescribed eczema treatment.
Not Suitable For
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to an ingredient
- Direct use inside the eyes
- Severely broken or infected skin without professional advice
Discontinue use if persistent irritation develops.
How to Use
- Apply to wet skin.
- Gently massage over the face and/or body.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Pat skin dry gently.
- Follow with an appropriate moisturiser.
For very dry skin, pair with a Lipikar moisturising balm after washing.

FAQs
1. What is La Roche-Posay Lipikar Gel Lavant used for?
Lipikar Gel Lavant is a gentle cleansing gel for dry, very dry and eczema-prone skin. It is suitable for cleansing both the face and body and is designed to clean the skin without leaving it feeling excessively stripped or uncomfortable. La Roche-Posay also positions it as suitable for all the family, from babies through to adults.
2. Is Lipikar Gel Lavant suitable for eczema-prone skin?
Yes. La Roche-Posay specifically describes Lipikar Gel Lavant as formulated for dry, very dry and eczema-prone skin. It can be useful as part of a gentle daily skincare routine, but it is a cosmetic cleanser rather than a medicine for eczema. Persistent or severe eczema may require appropriate medical treatment.
3. Can babies use La Roche-Posay Lipikar Gel Lavant?
Yes. La Roche-Posay describes the cleanser as suitable for all the family, including babies. Use a small amount, rinse thoroughly and avoid getting the product directly into the eyes. Persistent or severe skin irritation in a baby should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.
4. Can I use Lipikar Gel Lavant on my face?
Yes. It is formulated for use on both the face and body. People with very dry facial skin may find it useful as a simple cleanser, particularly when standard foaming cleansers feel too drying. Follow with a moisturiser suited to your skin after cleansing.
5. Is Lipikar Gel Lavant soap-free?
Yes. La Roche-Posay describes the formula as soap-free. This makes it particularly relevant for people with dry or sensitive skin who find traditional soaps uncomfortable or drying.
6. Does Lipikar Gel Lavant sting the eyes?
La Roche-Posay states that Lipikar Gel Lavant is formulated not to sting the eyes. It should still be used carefully around the eye area, and if cleanser enters the eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
7. Can I use Lipikar Gel Lavant every day?
Yes. It is designed as a daily cleansing product for the face and body. For very dry skin, keep washing gentle and follow with an appropriate moisturiser after cleansing to help maintain hydration.
8. Is Lipikar Gel Lavant suitable for adults with very dry skin?
Yes. Very dry skin is one of the main skin types for which La Roche-Posay formulates Lipikar Gel Lavant. It can be paired with a richer Lipikar moisturiser such as Lipikar AP+Max when additional moisturising care is needed.
9. Does Lipikar Gel Lavant contain fragrance?
Yes. Parfum / Fragrance appears in the current ingredient list. Anyone with a known sensitivity to fragranced skincare should check the full ingredient list carefully before use.
10. Does Lipikar Gel Lavant contain niacinamide?
Yes. Niacinamide appears in the current ingredient list. It is included alongside glycerin, mild cleansing agents and other formulation ingredients.
11. What moisturiser should I use after Lipikar Gel Lavant?
For dry or very dry skin, Lipikar AP+Max Triple-Action Balm can be a suitable follow-up moisturiser. Apply moisturiser shortly after cleansing and gently drying the skin, particularly if your skin tends to feel tight after washing.
12. What is the difference between Lipikar Gel Lavant and Lipikar Syndet AP+?
Both are gentle cleansers within the Lipikar range, but they have different textures and formulations. Lipikar Gel Lavant is a gel cleanser for dry and eczema-prone skin, while Lipikar Syndet AP+ is a cream wash designed for very dry and atopic eczema-prone skin. The best choice depends on how dry and sensitive your skin feels.
