Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterPeg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate is created from polyethylene glycol and fatty acids from coconut oil.
It is a synthetic polymer with emulsifying and cleansing properties.
As an emulsifier, Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate prevents ingredients such as oils and water from separating. It also helps rinse away oils, dirt, and pollutants from skin.
Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate may not be fungal acne safe. It can also dry out skin.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Wash AP+ Gentle Foaming Moisturizing Wash 23 ingredients
It does have a light light synthetic scent and it goes on with a very extreme soapy lather. I like the experience of washing my face with it, but I believe it is more of a body wash than a face wash--long-term, it was stripping my skin.
Great for sensitive skin! I have been using it as my water-based face cleanser it for 5 months and is the perfect balance between "gentle with my skin" and "actually feel that it cleaned my face".
Nice texture and foam.
