A richer relipidating balm for ultra-dry, atopic-prone skin
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP is a relipidating triple-repair balm for ultra-dry, eczema-prone skin that needs extra richness. It uses the same shea butter, niacinamide and Lipikar Microresyl complex as the cream texture, in a richer balm meant for the driest, most uncomfortable areas of skin, or for use through the coldest, driest months.
The texture
A thick, cushiony balm that takes a little longer to sink in than a cream, leaving a protective, comforting film.
Who it suits
- Ultra-dry skin that a lighter cream is not enough for
- Eczema-prone patches that feel rough or tight
- Cold, dry weather, when skin needs extra richness
- Adults and children with very dry skin
Worth knowing before you buy: It is a daily moisturiser, not a medical treatment for eczema flares; a persistent or worsening flare needs a dedicated product from the pharmacy.
