La Roche-Posay Lipikar Baume AP+M Balm 400ml

I love Lipikar AP+M Body Balm, moisture very well and leave my skin soft and hydrated. Really great product for dry skin, can be used for face aswell. Contains niacinamide, shea butter and glycerin. Suitable for patients undergoing cancer treatment. I love it from first use. Highly recommend for all ❤️ 💕💕💕 Lipikar AP+M Body Balm is a lipid-replenishing body cream that is formulated to reduce dryness, restore hydration and comfort to dry or very dry skin. Suitable for use on mild eczema prone skin. The Lipikar baume body moisturiser formulation is designed to reduce dryness and soothe skin.

I’m getting tired of the terms “Holy Grail” and “game-changing.” But this lotion is all that and more. A bit confused about the bottling, bc at different stores some carry a tube version that states “Enhanced Formula -Formally Lipikar Balm,” which is slightly more hardcore. This one, I consider to be the “light” version of that. Fragrance free, it feels heavy at first but absorbs quickly leaving your skin looking healthy but not greasy. I have THE driest skin ever and it’s the only goo that got rid of the flakes on the inside back of my shirts (ew) and cuts down on needing to dry brush. Also excellent for afters-sun/peeling, bumps and eczema. I don’t have sensitive skin, it does sting if it touches an open cut or something, but I wish my Moms used this on me when I ... MoreI’m getting tired of the terms “Holy Grail” and “game-changing.” But this lotion is all that and more.

At about 20$ it seems pricey but is completely worth it. Although the pump stops working when there’s plenty more left, but I manage. Stock up on this magical goo.

Awful New Formula

Why did LRP ever change the original formula? This new formula is just awful. The moisturizer never fully sinks in and my hands are SO much drier than when I was using the original balm formula. The moisturizer does not calm my skin or give it enough moisture to heal the way the old formula did. I stopped using it for a week and I saw no difference in the condition of my skin- still dry, flakey, irritated, chapped, and uncomfortable. The moisturizer is extremely slick to the touch (slick in the way that Crisco is) but it somehow leaves a terrible sticky/tacky residue that doesn’t leave unless I wash my hands. It smells bad too, like a strong plastic scent. I can’t use it on my body and it is completely unsuitable for use on my chapped hands. I can’t describe my ... MoreWhy did LRP ever change the original formula? This new formula is just awful.

After a long time of dedicated use on my sensitive, chapped skin while dealing with contact allergies, I now have to search for another moisturizer. I truly used the old formula daily throughout the day because it helped me SO much and IMPROVED the condition of my skin days after application. I cannot stress enough to anyone looking to try this moisturizer that is is a total waste of money for anyone of any skin type. The dermatology practice and allergy practice I go to agrees, and they both recommended the original formula to me. This is an expensive product that I used to be happy to spend my money on. In the unlikely event that LPR brings back the original balm formula that this replaced, I unfortunately won’t be buying LPR products again.

Fantastic body lotion , but….

I’ve been using your cosmetics for over 20 years , so have been my family members . Love the quality ! However, the problem with this body lotion ( or rather the bottle it comes in) is that it’s so thick , there is absolutely no way of removing even half of it without cutting the bottle . Even turning upside down doesn’t help . The pipe is so narrow and even when the product is just opened it takes forever to squirt it out . You put a super dense body lotion in exactly the same container as the less “rich”ones and it doesn’t work. I don’t know if anybody checked it before releasing it to the market , but I think jar would be a much better idea . I’ve been using the product for not even a week and most of it is on the walls of the bottle

Miss Old Formula

This product has a new formula. I am heartbroken the previous formula is not available for purchase. For me, it feels like a completely different product. Not as hydrating, not as spreadable, and not as soothing. I was surprised at how much it made me break out. I know many people love this product. But LaRoche Posay please bring back the old product. I keep seeing many reviews that say they miss the old formula. It would be nice if the company just offered the option of the old formula. I’ve been looking for a new moisturizer and nothing compares to the old one. The old formula is what transformed my skin. This new stuff ruined all the progress I made with my skin. I’m a very sad customer. I don’t understand why they would change such a great product.

So Moisturizing! But Straw Too Short

This is an amazing moisturizer. It is a bit thick but it’s not greasy or sticky and goes on smooth. I have eczema and my skin is constantly flaking and itchy. I’ve been using this for about 2 yrs and I’m so glad it’s affordable and OTC. My only complaint is the straw tube is too short. It doesn’t touch the bottom of the container so it leaves about 1” of cream at the bottom, which means I have to flip it and open the bottle every time when I’m trying to finish it. This of course is messy and annoying. Please extend the length of the plastic straw inside.

So good for very dry skin

Sometimes it’s the small things which matter the most……I have severely dry skin (atopic dermatitis) which can flare into itching at a moments notice, from an irritating bra strap to a waistband or even a plaster, anything can be a trigger. This is why much as I love Lipikar Ap + M Balm, I love its little travel size sibling even more! I keep one in my handbag and my car just in case of emergencies.There can be days when morning moisturising just doesn’t last and this has saved my skin on numerous occasions.The Lipikar range is amazing, having been developed by scientists over 10 years who truly understand the skin and the need for a balanced microbiome (the delicate ecosystem of bacteria on your skin). The AP+M content [Aqua Posae + Microresyl] helps to rebalance ... MoreSometimes it’s the small things which matter the most……I have severely dry skin (atopic dermatitis) which can flare into itching at a moments notice, from an irritating bra strap to a waistband or even a plaster, anything can be a trigger.

The AP+M content [Aqua Posae + Microresyl] helps to rebalance this microbiome which then helps to reduce the flare-ups. In turn, reduces scratching and so fewer infections. It’s a vicious circle.They then developed a product which when combined combined with the amazing water from the La Roche-Posay thermal springs, Niacinamide, 8% Glycerin and 20% Shea Butter became the Baume we know and love.The more we learn about skin the better aid we can get to help it. This product is my absolute favourite because it truly does what it promises.

V good value cream for winter, v good for face

I needed a winter cream for my face that wasn't so expensive but also versatile. I have combo skin on the face, and I wear a mask for 12h during my shift, which rubs on my cheeks and nose. My hands get really dry too, they get chapped and bleed in the winter. Anyways my face improved, feels moisturised even on days when I don't put it on. It doesn't clog the pores either. It healed my hands too within a week, and got rid of this stubborn patch of dry skin I had on the back of my hands within 3 weeks. It does leave a oily finish, but like a healthy shine, and personally I like creams with some butter/oil in it - its a cultural thing. People been complimenting how healthy my skin looks, and it has calmed down the redness on my cheeks. I have cicaplast baume but I felt ... MoreI needed a winter cream for my face that wasn't so expensive but also versatile.

I have cicaplast baume but I felt this was better for daily use than cicaplast, especially because I don't use reactives (like retinoids). It's good value too, I got 3 for 2 and it's going to last me for a very long time.

Wonderful

I don't think I'll ever buy another body lotion again. Originally bought for my son who suffers from mild eczema - he usually uses a very expensive foreign brand that you can only get from a few niche salons in the UK. Have been trying to replace with something more easily accessible yet as effective and have wasted so much money on different products until now! I have found the holy grail! So moisturising and long lasting without leaving greasy residue. How?? Skin feels healthy and protected, easily absorbed. It's honestly perfect. I know this because I tried a bit and have not used anything else since - will have to buy a few more bottles at this rate!
