La Roche-Posay is the best French pharmacy brand, in my opinion. I cannot sing enough praises of the LRP Effaclar Duo and now Duo+ which was the main factor in complete clearing up of my skin. I've been blemish-free ever since I started using it. There's literally a slew of LRP products I raved about during the past years; Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel (my long-term HG face cleanser), Effaclar Duo, Effaclar Duo+, Effaclar H, Physiological Cleansing Gel, Cicaplast Baume B5, Effaclar Astringent Micro-Exfoliant Lotion, Effaclar Mat – the list goes on and on!
Today I want to add another great LRP product to the recommended section – La Roche-Posay Lipikar Syndet (400ml | 200ml costs €8.78 via feelunique and £8.50 via escentual online stockists). After I used up the third tube of my Alverde Clear face wash, I felt ready to try something else but I was not necessarily ready to experiment too much since I've managed to finally balance out my complexion, keep it clear without any major issues. That is why I decided to find a new cleanser within a brand I know and trust. Lipikar Syndet is exceptionally versatile and practical as it's intended to be used on body but since it's of a completely non-drying formula, I figured it was gentle enough for the face as well.
It's soap-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free whilst being enriched with shea butter, glycerine and niacinamide. It's suitable for atopic and very dry skin, something I've been battling myself as of recently. Skin of my face has always been more high-maintenance in comparison to the skin of my body however, my psoriasis has been playing up and I'm feeling rather limited as to what I can use without disturbing the comfort of being in my own skin. More often I reach for oil-based body cleansers but this one has been lovely as well. Its thick and rich, creamy formula is concentrated so you don't need much per use meaning that this massive 400ml bottle will last me a long time. It's also one of my favorite post-workout cleansers (wrote about it here) since it's so creamy and the pump is awesome as well.
I've been using it as a morning face wash and I remove my makeup with it at night – it's a surprisingly good makeup remover! Doesn't sting my eyes, doesn't dry out gentle eye area. I cannot fault it at all. I do intend on purchasing a few more LRP products I haven't tried yet so I'll come back to you with those but I'd love to hear how are you coping with dry skin issues. If there is someone with psoriasis out there – I'd love to know what you use to soothe your skin?
- La Roche-Posay smatram najboljim farmaceutskim brendom od svih. Nikada necu stici dovoljno da nahvalim LRP Effaclar Duo i novi Duo+ jer upravo ovim proizvodima mogu pripisati najvecu ulogu kod prociscavanja moje koze od bubuljica. Jos otkako sam pocela koristiti prvi Effaclar Duo pa sve do danas sam mu vjerna i samo njemu prepustam borbu sa bubuljicama, miteserima i ostalim nesavrsenstvima povezanim sa masnom kozom. Licno mogu preporuciti cijeli niz LRP proizvoda koje sam do sada isprobala i o kojima sam vec pisala na blogu; Effaclar Purifying Foaming gel za umivanje (moja dugogodisnja HG umivalica), Effaclar Duo, Effaclar Duo+, Effaclar H, Physiological Cleansing Gel, Cicaplast Baume B5, Effaclar Astringent Micro-Exfoliant Lotion, Effaclar Mat – kao sto vidite, lista je dugacka!
- Danas na taj spisak odlicnih LRP proizvoda koje licno mogu preporuciti zelim dodati i La Roche-Posay Lipikar Syndet (400ml sam platila 35KM u apoteci u SCC-u | 200ml kosta cca 17KM preko feelunique a cca 21KM preko escentual stranice). Nakon sto sam potrosila trecu tubu Alverde Clear kreme za umivanje, zeljela sam preci na neku drugu umivalicu ali nisam bila spremna na rizik od isprobavanja nepoznatih proizvoda – taman sam postigla balans koze lica a i bubuljice su pod kontrolom. Zbog toga sam odlucila potraziti narednu umivalicu u sklopu brenda kojeg volim i poznajem. Lipikar Syndet je izuzetno koristan, multipraktican proizvod. Prvenstveno je namijenjen ciscenju koze tijela ali posto je potpuno kremaste, neisusujuce formulacije shvatila sam da bi odgovarao i ciscenju koze lica.
- Ne sadrzi sapun, parfeme niti parabene a obogacen je karite buterom, glicerinom i niacinamidom. Pogodan je za koristenje na veoma suhoj i atopicnoj kozi, sto je problem sa kojim se i sama suocavam. Obicno bi koza lica bila ta koja je zahtijevala posebnu njegu ali posljednjih mjeseci mi se psorijaza vratila i moram sa oprezom birati cime cu se tusirati. Najcesce koristim uljane tusiralice ali sam jako zadovoljna i ovom. Guste je, bogate i kremaste formulacije. Mnogo je kremasta i koncentrirana tako da je po koristenju ne treba mnogo, sto znaci da ce mi ova velika boca od 400ml dosta dugo trajati. Takodjer je i jedan od cistaca koje najvise volim koristiti nakon fizicke aktivnosti (o tome sam pisala ovdje) upravo zahvaljujuci kremastoj teksturi i prakticnosti pakovanja sa pumpicom.
- Ovaj gel koristim i ujutro za umivanje a njom navecer volim skidati i sminku – iznenadjujuce je dobar u ovoj ulozi! Ne pecka oci, ne isusuje njeznu kozu okoloocnog podrucja i zaista mu ne mogu pronaci manu. Namjeravam kupiti jos par LRP proizvoda koje nisam do sada koristila a od vas bih voljela cuti kako se vi nosite sa suhom kozom? Pogotovo ako medju vama ima neko takodjer sa psorijazom, mnogo bi me zanimalo kako tretirate zahvacene dijelove svoje koze?
