Complete your routine with products made for face and body

The experts from LovelySkin have partnered with La Roche-Posay to share exciting news about their Lipikar line.
La Roche-Posay’s Lipikar skin care range has become a go-to for those with dry to extra-dry skin and eczema on the body and face, as its featured ingredients include shea butter, glycerin, niacinamide and La Roche-Posay Prebiotic Thermal Spring Water to provide long-lasting hydration and soothing, skin barrier-strengthening benefits.
La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP+ Intense Repair Moisturizing Cream has been a cornerstone of this skin care range since its launch in 2018, and this much-beloved formula is getting an upgrade for 2022. Now known as La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP +M Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream, the two key formulation changes include the addition of barrier-reinforcing ceramides and the elimination of mineral oil. The “M” was added to call attention to the fact that this formula helps support the skin microbiome. Plus, this cream has been rigorously tested and is suitable for babies as young as two weeks old.
This latest Lipikar moisturizer offering still improves dry, rough skin on the body and face by providing 48-hour hydration and has maintained its acceptance by the National Eczema Association. This soothing formula is also suitable for patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
Although Lipikar AP +M Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream provides significant improvement for dry to extra dry skin, this soothing repair cream is best used as part of a regimen for optimal hydrating and skin-soothing benefits. Here are the four steps we recommend:
Also suitable for babies two weeks of age and older, this gentle foaming cleanser provides 24-hour hydration for the whole family’s skin, starting in the bath or shower. The comforting, foaming formula effectively cleanses while leaving the skin smooth and soft, and it helps protect skin from the drying effects of water. With a convenient pump that makes bath time a bit easier with babies and young children, this hydrating body and face wash also features a beneficial postbiotic called Aqua Posae Filiformis and it is dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested, sensitive skin-tested, pediatrician-tested, fragrance-free, soap-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and suitable for cradle cap on babies’ scalps.
After cleansing with Lipikar Wash AP+, apply this rich and soothing moisturizer anywhere you need relief for dry to extra-dry skin or eczema, including the face, body and hands. In addition to providing a powerful source of hydration, this reparative cream features a unique prebiotic action on the skin and helps support the skin’s microbiome. Safe for babies as young as two weeks old and formulated to replenish the skin’s essential lipids while providing long-lasting 48-hour hydration, this non-greasy body cream helps reduce dry, rough skin without leaving a heavy or sticky finish.
A targeted treatment designed to relieve itching associated with dry skin and eczema, this non-greasy, steroid-free cream helps soothe the skin with 1% colloidal oatmeal in addition to hydrating the skin with the Lipikar line’s signature blend of shea butter, glycerin, niacinamide and La Roche-Posay Prebiotic Thermal Spring Water. Accepted by the National Eczema Association and formulated to help reduce itching and irritation, it’s formulated to provide instant, long-lasting hydration and replenish the skin’s essential lipids for relief from dry and extra-dry skin. Ideal for the face, body and hands, it helps visibly reduce signs of eczema in adults and children over the age of three.
Regardless of the state of your skin, the final step in any skin care routine should be sun protection. La Roche-Posay offers several fluid, lotion and cream sunscreen formulas designed for face and body use (as well as Anthelios Melt-In Milk SPF 100, which is suitable for children 3 years and older). La-Roche Posay’s oil-free, water-resistant Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen SPF 60 features broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection along with antioxidants courtesy of La Roche-Posay’s exclusive Cell-Ox Shield® technology. Remember, check with your pediatrician before applying sunscreen on babies under six months of age.
