La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Cleansing Oil Refill 13.5 oz — Is $13.48 Worth It?

A large refill of La Roche-Posay's cult dry-skin cleanser just dropped to $13.48 on Amazon — here's who it makes sense for and the one thing to know before buying.

What you're actually getting here

La Roche-Posay's Lipikar AP+ is a foaming cleansing oil built specifically for dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. It doesn't strip your skin barrier the way a standard face wash can, and the 13.52-oz size is the refill format — meaning it's designed to be poured into the original pump dispenser rather than used straight from the bag. At $13.48, you're paying roughly a dollar per ounce for a dermatologist-recommended French pharmacy brand, which is a genuinely solid price. Regular retail on smaller sizes tends to run higher per ounce at most drugstores.

The catch: you need the pump bottle first

This is a refill pack, not a standalone product with its own dispenser. If you already use the Lipikar AP+ Cleansing Oil, this is an easy yes — stock up and save. If you're new to the product, you'll either need to buy the original bottled version separately or improvise a container, which is a mild annoyance. It's also worth noting this is a body and face cleanser for dry skin types; if your skin runs oily or combination, the oil-based formula may feel heavier than you want. For its target audience, though, the price-per-wash on this size is hard to argue with.
