Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Ceramide AP is a type of Ceramide.
Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin that bonds dead skin cells together to create a barrier. Having a strong skin barrier leads to more firm and hydrated skin.
They are known for their ability to hold water and thus are a great ingredient for dry skin. By bolstering the skin ceramides act as a barrier against irritating ingredients. This can help with inflammation as well.
If you would like to eat ceramides, sweet potatoes contain a small amount.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Syndet Ap+ : Ultra-Gentle Cream Wash 17 ingredients
super gentle for days i’m giving my skin a break from actives. Leaves my skin clean, hydrated and soothed.
I used this as my face wash in the shower, and while it was gentle enough for my sensitive skin, it left my face feeling really dry. Unfortunately, it didn’t provide any hydration—if anything, it stripped more than it soothed.
