Lipikar Balm AP+ Body Cream

I found this product while traveling in France (although bought this one here). I love European products due to their very stringent standards for clean and safe ingredients. This was hands down the salesperson top choice for body lotion and said many others she works with love it. It's been a great product. Over the last few years of living in Georgia and cold winters with a warm house the dry out factor is big. Middle age doesn't help - ahem. It works very well, absorbs well (as long as I don't overdo it). I've found it hydrating enough that after a few daily applications it allows to take a day off in between. It's not only taken away the dryness but made my skin super soft. It's a good heavy lifter product, while not the most sophisticated. I use something different for the decollate area with more age fighting ingredients. The smell is also not good at all. That's truly the only bummer. I'd def. not have continued because of that but it works so darn well!!! The ingredient list is slightly different than the one in France but their level of being clearn are the same.

I was looking for a daily body moisturizer with shea butter and ceramides. I tried CeraVa first, but it caused my skin to itch in some places, similar to what happens when I was sweating. Then I tried La Roche, which has the added benefits of antioxidants. I can apply this in the morning and have smooth and soft skin the next day. It doesn't feel heavy so long as I spread it thinly, and it works as a great final step to seal in the moisture from toners and serums. There's no irritation, and the bottle lasts a very long time for the price. Overall, perfect daily lotion for me. Will keep using.

This Lipikar balm is truly the best for atopic skin. My daughter has had atopic dermatitis since infancy, and this is the only product that keeps her symptoms under control. The texture is light yet effective, absorbs easily, and provides long-lasting relief. It has a pleasant, mild scent and is gentle enough for even the youngest children. The quality is excellent, and a little goes a long way, making it very economical despite the higher price. For anyone dealing with sensitive or atopic skin, this balm is absolutely worth it — highly recommended!

Im 40 with super sensative, hormonal acne ridden skin. I also just lost 80 lbs and this stuff helped my skin bouce back beautifully. Litterally anything breaks me out. I need a better moisturizer in the cold months to prevent super dry skin espexially on my cheeks and mouth area. I had great success with Bare Minerals but they eventually discontinued the wash and moisturizer I liked best from them, which led me to this. Now ill start by saying it has no scent. Maybe the Niacinimide does slightly but it goes away quickly. Not a deal breaker! Its also very thick, also not a huge issue, which I have a great tip for below. When I saw "face and body" I truly thought no way. No way is that good for anyone, especially me with my issues. Well I was so wrong. 3 weeks in and my acne actually healed on my face and back. I'm shocked. It also has made my skin SO HEALTHY, Glowy and smooth. My skin is so visibly hydrated and not at all sticky. THATS WHAT WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR. I want to let everyone in on a little trick I've found. If you mist filtered water onto any area you are applying lotion to, prior to applying it, not only does it stretch your product way further, but it helps your skin retain good water with the product in the top layers of your skin. Or apply it to damp skin straight out of the shower. I've found that it helps me reduce all sensative skin issues just by adding a spritz of water, and rubbing it into the area fully until absorbed. I will definitely be purchasing this again. I think this might be my forever lotion.

I picked up La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream largely because Accutane turned my skin into Sahara Desert levels of dryness — not just on my face but all over my body. I needed something that could handle both sensitive facial skin and body dryness without irritation, and this has genuinely been one of the best all-around lotions I’ve found. First off: the texture is thick and rich without feeling greasy. It glides on easily, absorbs in a way that actually feels like it’s repairing the skin, and provides lasting hydration throughout the day. On my face, it’s heavier than a typical lotion but not as occlusive or pore-clogging as some balms — a balance I haven’t consistently found in other products. On my body (especially elbows, knees, and forearms), it noticeably softens rough patches and reduces that tight, itchy feeling that so many moisturizers just don’t fully address. A few things stand out that make this worth recommending: Shea Butter + Niacinamide: The shea butter gives real, nourishing moisture, and the niacinamide helps soothe sensitivity without stinging. For someone on Accutane, this combination feels genuinely calming. Sensitive-Skin Friendly: Fragrance-free and gentle, it hasn’t caused any flare-ups or irritation — which is huge because my skin is very reactive right now. Face & Body Use: I like that I don’t have to juggle a separate face cream and body lotion; I can keep this at my desk, in my bathroom, and on my nightstand. That said, there are a couple of caveats worth calling out, especially if you’re considering this for everyday use: Price vs. Size: At over $20 for 400 ml, it’s on the pricier side for what you’re getting. I absolutely think the quality and performance justify the cost for someone with really dry or sensitive skin, but if you’re only mildly dry or on a budget, you might find similar hydration from cheaper generics. Thickness: Because it’s a richer cream, it can feel heavy in hot or humid weather — not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of if you prefer lightweight lotions. How I use it (and why it works well): Morning & Night: I apply a thin layer to my face after cleansing, and a generous layer on my body right after showering while skin is still slightly damp. Layering Strategy: On really dry nights, I’ll follow with a lighter occlusive (like Vaseline) in just the driest spots — the Lipikar cream acts like a deeply nourishing base that really enhances the seal. Anywhere Skin Feels Stressed: It’s become my go-to for irritated patches, rough arms, flaky legs, and as a post-shave balm too. Overall, this isn’t just another lotion — it’s genuinely improved how my skin feels on Accutane. The cost per ounce is higher than drugstore alternatives, but the noticeable difference in moisture, soothing ability, and versatility makes it a product I’ve repurchased and will continue to reach for as long as my skin demands deeper hydration. Highly recommend if you want a no-nonsense, effective, sensitive-skin moisturizer and aren’t turned off by the price tag.

This lotion has been SO helpful for my son's skin. He battled eczema starting at 2 months old and we tried every lotion under the sun - Aveeno, Cetaphil, CereVe, Mustela, beef tallow, olive oil, coconut oil, Shea butter, and more! I finally as a last ditch effort ordered this lotion and saw a change in his skin within a few days to a week. I think it must be the thermal water they use! It does burn on open cuts (that I've personally experienced from cuts on my hands when I apply it) but my son seemed to handle it okay on most of his eczema. His skin is pretty much completely normal now after months and months of battling the eczema. We did also find food allergies and I changed things in both of our diets, but this lotion really seemed to help get us out of the constant flare up cycle. I really believe which lotion will work just depends on your kids skin but I think it's worth a shot if you're looking for one for your baby with eczema. It is a thicker lotion, but not crazy heavy. It absorbs great and is not greasy or oily. It makes his skin so so soft! My only complaint is that you can't get all the lotion out of the bottle so it feels like a lot is wasted. It also is just super expensive and we fly through it, so I wish it was more affordable. But the results have been worth the cost!

A high-quality body cream that moisturizes, protects, and help repair the skin barrier. It works to provide dry and thirsty skin with moisture and hydration leaving the skin soft and smooth. Because it is thick and rich cream it is important not to overuse the amount of lotion when applying to the skin or it may feel too heavy with an oil feel. I have found it is best to apply right out of the shower or bath while the skin is damp, for better absorption. It is great for babies, kids, full body use as well as facial care. Great quality from a long-time skin care line backed by dermatologist that is an excellent value with proven results.

Happy recipient!! The best I’ve found so far. Moisturizing but no greasy feel, absorbs well and feels amazing. No more flaky winter skin. Would definitely recommend, based on my experience. I use only on the body. La Rouche also has a fabulous product for the face, also wonderful! Love the lightweight feel
