How to Use

1. Pre-wet:
   In the bath or shower, thoroughly wet your skin with lukewarm water. This step helps to soften the skin and prime it for cleansing.

2. Dispense:
   Squeeze a dollop or pump an appropriate amount of the cream wash onto your hand, a soft washcloth, or a bath sponge.

3. Lather:
   Massage the product onto your body using gentle, circular motions. Focus on areas that tend to be very dry or prone to irritation, while avoiding the eye and lip areas. The creamy formula will form a rich, nourishing lather that gently cleanses without disrupting the skin’s natural protective barrier.

4. Rinse:
   Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove all traces of the cleanser.

5. Aftercare:
   After patting dry with a soft towel, follow up with a lipid‑replenishing moisturizer or body cream (for example, La Roche‑Posay’s complementary Lipikar Lait Lotion or Lipikar Baume AP+ for eczema‑prone skin) to lock in hydration and further reinforce the skin barrier.

This step‑by‑step routine ensures that your skin is not only clean but also continuously protected and nurtured against dryness, leaving it feeling soft, comfortable, and resilient .

Whether you’re combating environmental dryness or managing sensitive, eczema‑prone skin, La Roche‑Posay Lipikar Surgras Anti‑Dryness Cream Wash offers a mild yet effective cleansing solution that cares for your skin’s long‑term health.
