Lipikar Balm AP+

quite frankly this is one of the few products i trust with the full geographical map of my body. face, neck, chest, random dry patch on elbow that appeared after i walked past a radiator too confidently. all of it. my skin has the structural integrity of a frail victorian aristocrat who’s just received troubling correspondence. a strong wind? redness. weather change? devastation. one overly fragranced body wash drifting through the air molecules near me? suddenly my skin barrier is writing its will by candlelight. and this stuff genuinely calms everything down. rich without feeling greasy, deeply moisturising without that weird suffocating film some heavy creams leave behind where you feel like a basted chicken rotating gently under kitchen lights. it just sinks in properly and leaves my skin soft, comfortable and noticeably less dramatic. the niacinamide and shea butter combo in this is genuinely excellent for barrier support. whenever my skin starts acting spiritually exhausted, this is what i reach for first. i’ve used much more expensive creams that performed worse while charging me like they were funding a private moon launch. which is the thing that continues to mildly astonish me. for the quality, this is so affordable. especially because the bottle lasts forever. you need less than you think unless you’re doing what i do and applying it with the emotional urgency of a medieval healer trying to save the kingdom. also crucially: no overpowering fragrance. thank god. i do not want my moisturiser competing with my perfume, my laundry detergent and my nervous system simultaneously. sometimes i just want hydration without being hunted for sport by synthetic peony molecules. my bathroom shelf at this point genuinely looks like a tiny apothecary dedicated exclusively to “preventing my skin from experiencing adversity” and this has earned permanent residency there. if they discontinue it i’ll probably be outside la roche-posay headquarters in a long black veil holding a single unmoisturised hand to the sky. ✨tl;dr✨ sensitive dry skin people… this is the one. rich, soothing, barrier-loving, lasts ages and somehow costs less than half the luxury creams that give you 90ml of disappointment and a tiny spatula.

For very dry, rough, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin, this is generally considered an excellent product. It contains shea butter, niacinamide, ceramides, and humectants that help hydrate and support the skin barrier, and it’s fragrance-free, which reduces the risk of irritation. La Roche-Posay also markets it for very dry and sensitive skin, with a focus on long-lasting hydration and itch relief related to dryness. What I like about it - Rich, long-lasting moisture - Fragrance-free - Contains niacinamide to help calm and support the skin barrier - Works on both face and body for many people - Often recommended for dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin Potential downsides - It is fairly thick and can feel heavy on oily skin. - Some people find it leaves a slight film or shine, especially on the face. - A minority of users report breakouts or irritation, though that’s true of almost any moisturizer. My assessment For someone with dry or sensitive skin, I’d rate it around 9/10. It’s one of the better drugstore moisturizers available and compares favorably with products like CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream.

This has become a staple in my nighttime skincare routine. The lotion is very thick, but a little goes a long way, so one bottle lasts a long time. I apply it to my face before bed, and every morning my skin feels incredibly moisturized, soft, and noticeably plump. If you have dry skin or want an overnight moisturizer that really works, I highly recommend this one.

This moisturizing cream is an absolute lifesaver for dry and sensitive skin. It provides deep, long-lasting hydration without feeling overly greasy or heavy. It absorbs beautifully, helps soothe any irritation, and does an incredible job of repairing the skin barrier. The fact that it is fragrance-free and gentle makes it perfect for daily use. I highly recommend it!

This is a terrific, fragrance free moisturizer for very dry, eczema prone skin. The manufacturer should package it in a tub like CeraVe is packaged. The last quarter of la Roche-Posay bottle's contents is nearlt impossible to pump out. The bottle has to be cut open so the moisturizer can be scooped out. The product moisturizes well and reduces skin irritation. It's a good value for the money, but the pump bottle is inappropriate.

I’m always very skeptical when a lotion says it can be used on the body and face and is non-comedogenic, because I break out really easily even in my 30s. I was shocked with this lotion. I haven’t broken out, and my skin on both my body and face looked so much healthier and moisturized almost instantly. My skin has stayed soft even if I forget to apply for a day, this stuff is fantastic. It is on the thick side, but a little goes a long way. It’s worked wonders and I haven’t seen my skin look this smooth and healthy in ages. Absolutely recommend.

I see so many reviews saying not greasy- I love this lotion bc it’s very hydrating but friends and i definitely consider this greasy/makes you look oily. I get horrible eczema and this is thick enough to add and trap in moisture to my skin. Non irritating and hasn’t broken me or anyone else I know out

This is a very thick, nourishing lotion. I love that it’s unscented. I took a chance despite worrying about breakouts and began applying it to my face at night. So glad I did! I have 50 year old skin and this product makes it smooth, plump and glowy even without make up on. I’ve been using it on my face for about 2 wks now and haven’t had one breakout or any other type of irritation.

Excelente producto, te deja la piel humectada y suave sin sensación grasosa! :)

Para mí está muy bien, piel sensible. Muy hidratante

Unser Baby hatte mit 4 Monaten zunehmende Schorfbildung auf dem Kopf und teilweise im Gesicht, dazu Juckreiz. Darum erhielten wir von unserer Kinderärztin Proben verschiedener Cremes zur Linderung. Wir haben uns dann für dieses Produkt entschieden, weil es nicht nur die Haut weich macht, sondern auch den Juckreiz lindert, sich gut verteilen lässt und wirklich schnell einzieht. Während der schlimmsten Phase unterstützen wir die Behandlung mit Öl zum Anlösen der Schuppen vor dem Baden, was gut funktionierte. Nach dem Baden, sowie morgens und abends wurde die Creme aufgetragen, und was soll ich sagen: Nach 2 Wochen war das Problem größtenteils beseitigt! Weil die Creme so sparsam dosiert werden kann und so schnell geholfen hat, haben wir jetzt noch jede Menge übrig für kleinere "Rückfälle", aber auch ganz allgemein bei rissigen Hände im Winter, trockene Gesichtshaut oder rauhen Füßen kommt die Creme erfolgreich zum Einsatz. Super!

This is an excellent product by La Roche Posay. I have skin problems during winter and this product solves them.
