Lipikar Surgras Crème Lavante Anti-Dessèchement

Decent 3.5 / 5

How it’s judged

Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.

What it may help with

Barrier support i3.9 / 4

Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.

From Niacinamide, Glycerin

Hydration i3.5 / 4

Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.

From Glycerin, Niacinamide, Propylene Glycol, Citric Acid

Soothing i3.5 / 4

Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.

From Niacinamide, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Glycerin

Pigmentation i3.2 / 4

Whether it can help uneven tone, dark spots, melasma-like discoloration, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — including brightening and tyrosinase-inhibiting ingredients.

From Niacinamide, Citric Acid

Texture i3.0 / 4

Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.

From Citric Acid, Niacinamide, Glycerin

Things to watch

Sensitization i3.0 / 4

Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.

From Fragrance, Coco-Betaine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Irritation i2.5 / 4

Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.

From Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Fragrance, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride

Photosensitivity i2.5 / 4

Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.

From Citric Acid

Eye irritation i1.5 / 4

Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.

From Fragrance, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride

Systemic exposure i1.0 / 4

Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.

From Fragrance

About this product

A creamy rinse-off body wash for dry, sensitive skin that aims to cleanse gently while reducing tightness and supporting the skin barrier. The formula includes niacinamide, glycerin, and shea butter derivatives, but it also contains fragrance and cleansing surfactants that may not suit very reactive skin.

Good signs
  • Barrier-supportive profile with niacinamide plus lipid-replenishing ingredients.
  • Soap-free body wash format designed for dry, sensitive skin.
  • Includes humectant support from glycerin to help reduce post-wash tightness.
Watch-outs
  • Contains fragrance, which conflicts with the sensitive-skin positioning for some users.
  • Cleansing base includes sodium laureth sulfate, so it may be less ideal for extremely dry or easily irritated skin.
  • As a rinse-off cleanser, the reparative actives are likely to be modest rather than transformative.
Best for
  • Dry or very dry skin needing a gentler everyday body wash.
  • Sensitive skin that tolerates fragrance in rinse-off products.
  • Households wanting one wash for babies, children, and adults.
How to use it
  • Use on wet skin and rinse off thoroughly.
  • Avoid the eye area.
  • Follow with a leave-on moisturizer if dryness or tightness persists.
