La Roche-Posay® Lipikar Baume AP+ Reviews

Really good for dry hands and body. Slightly stingy when first applied but really healing and hydrating on dry and dehydrated skin. Not too rich and no fragrance either.

This is a thick moisturiser that is perfect for the cold winter months, it does make your skin shiny a little but in the winter it's not such a bad thing. This will last you all day. my daughter uses it as she has eczema, and her skin never dries out during the day. This also doesn't have much of a fragrance, so you don't need to worry about clashing with perfume or colognes. I wouldn't use this in the summer as its quite thick - use something lighter like the Lipikar Lait.

It's very occlusive so it's good for rebuilding your skin barrier. I bought it when I had eczema on my face and my normal moisturiser just wasn't enough. I still use it on my face on days when my skin feels too dry. I also use it on my elbows if they get too dry. Another good thing about it is that it doesn't contain any paraphine so it doesn't clog pores. It is quite thick though, so I recommend spreading it on your hands and then gently patting your skin instead of just rubbing it in your skin. Otherwise it feels like an unpleasant film on your skin. Overall, it's a good option in case you have some skin conditions, but if your skin is healthy and just sensitive, I recommend looking for something more sensory pleasant.

If you love thick moisturiser, or want something that maybe you don't need to use as frequently this is it. I have had painfully dry legs for ages and get eczema on my back, I use this about 2-3 times a week and its help so much. Its extremely thick so if you aren't into that maybe not the best but they keeps my leg moisturised for days after use without the need to continue to do it.
