La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX Moisturizing Face & Body Cream 200ml — Fragrance-Free, Barrier-Repair

La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX is an intensive, fragrance-free face and body cream that soothes very dry, itchy and sensitive skin while restoring the skin barrier.

This clinically tested formula combines ceramides, shea butter, niacinamide and glycerin with La Roche-Posay’s Neurobioma™ technology to deliver long-lasting comfort for extra dry skin. Designed for use on face, body and hands, it’s pediatrician- and dermatologist-tested, accepted by the National Eczema Association, and formulated to be gentle enough for babies and sensitive adults. The cream absorbs quickly to leave skin soft and non-greasy while targeting dryness, itching and compromised barrier function.

How quickly does this cream relieve dry skin and itching?

What are the key ingredients and how do they help repair skin?

The formula replenishes lipids and supports barrier repair with a blend of well-established moisturizing agents and barrier-active ingredients. Neurobioma™ technology is paired with ceramides, shea butter, niacinamide and glycerin to support skin microbiome balance and reduce discomfort linked to very dry conditions.

• Ceramides: restore and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier.
• Shea butter & glycerin: provide deep nourishment and sustained moisture.
• Niacinamide: soothes and helps improve skin texture and resilience.
• Neurobioma™: targets skin comfort and helps calm sensations of itching.

Is this safe for sensitive skin, babies and people receiving medical treatments?

Yes — the unscented, non-comedogenic formula has been tested by dermatologists and pediatricians and accepted by the National Eczema Association. It’s formulated without parabens and is allergy-tested to minimize irritation risks, though you should avoid applying to broken skin and consult a clinician if undergoing medical treatments.

• Fragrance-free and allergy-tested for sensitive skin use.
• Suitable for babies from two weeks old under normal conditions.
• Used by people with eczema-prone skin; accepted by the National Eczema Association.
• Advised: do not use on open wounds and consult a doctor if immunocompromised or undergoing therapy.

How does the texture feel and how should I use it in my routine?

The cream has a rich, fast-absorbing texture that leaves a velvety finish without greasiness. Apply after bathing or handwashing, and reapply to particularly dry areas as needed to maintain comfort and barrier restoration.

• Apply liberally to face and body after cleansing, morning and evening.
• Use on elbows, knees, hands and any very dry patches for targeted care.
• Works well under sunscreen or makeup on the face due to the non-greasy finish.
• For infants, apply a thin layer as part of gentle skincare routine; avoid broken skin.

Who this product is for: Lipikar AP+MAX is intended for people and families dealing with very dry, rough or sensitive skin who need a potent yet gentle moisturizer suitable for face and body. It’s a practical choice for caregivers of infants, individuals with eczema-prone skin seeking a fragrance-free option, and anyone wanting an effective daily cream that helps repair the barrier and reduce dryness-related itching.
