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.
