I discovered the La Roche-Posay Lipikar range last year and Lipikar truly is a sensitive skin saviour. If you suffer from dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin, you have to try this range. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. La Roche-Posay has added something new to their range and it’s a product no one should be without this winter – the La Roche-Posay Lipikar Stick AP+.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Stick AP+

This 15ml stick has been formulated for atopic eczema-prone skin, itchy skin, irritated skin and dry, patchy skin. Its aim is to instantly relieve scratching urges and reduce eczema lesions. Even when you’re on the go.

The stick contains lipid-replenishing shea butter, anti-inflammatory madecassoside and anti-bacterial zinc gluconate.

It is safe to be used on any part of the body (including the eyelids – a fact I can confirm) thanks to its high-tolerance formula and it’s gentle enough to use on babies from 3 months.

This little stick is an absolute beauty It’s change of season and my allergies are acting up. This means eczema flare-ups on my body and dry patches on my face. La Roche-Posay has provided me with the perfect product to soothe and calm the irritation on contact. It also helps to hide the scaly bits on my face and makes my make-up look a lot better. It is also very soothing for the skin between the nose and lips that gets inflamed because of constant nose blowing. It’s gorgeous for the lips too.

If you take one thing from this review though … as much as I love it for myself, this is an absolute MUST for kids suffering from eczema. The La Roche-Posay Lipikar Stick is easy to use, small enough to pop in a school bag, it doesn’t transfer to clothes and all you feel when it’s applied, is relief. If you have kids that suffer, please give it a try.

The stick retails for R170 which sounds like a lot for 15ml, but it’s going to last.

La Roche-Posay is a brand that’s still fairly new to me. I’ve recently tried their kiddies sunscreen and it’s great. I was excited to try the new La Roche-Posay Lipikar products that landed on my desk a while ago, as I’ve only heard good things. I wasn’t prepared to be this blown away…

La Roche-Posay Lipikar is a sensitive skin saviour

Why does La Roche-Posay say their Lipikar range is special?

La Roche-Posay laboratories created LIPIKAR 25 years ago. This range of body products for dry skin among adults and children has proved effective in a number of clinical trials, establishing it as a market-leader in emollient products.

What if flare-ups of severe dryness could be a thing of the past? Enter Aqua Posae filiformis, an exclusive patented active ingredient by La Roche-Posay.

TWO-FOLD ACTION TO ACT ON THE TWO FACTORS OF ATOPY-PRONE SKIN

At skin’s surface: Aqua Posae Filiformis helps re-establish the microbiome’s diversity to take action during flare-ups and to stabilize it during periods of remission to avoid relapses.
In-depth:Aqua Posae Filiformis soothes irritation and stimulates skin’s defenses to prevent the entry of pathogenic agents responsible for new bouts of irritation.

The LIPIKAR BAUME AP+ 400ml pump bottle and the LIPIKAR CLEANSING OIL are new additions to the La Roche-Posay Lipikar range.

The Lipid-Replenishing balm is fantastic. This thick cream is ‘best suited for very dry, irritated skin prone to itching and extreme dryness due to atopic skin concerns’. In other words… me. The cream is beautiful. It absorbs and leaves my skin feeling calm and soothed. It deserves a spot on my list of Body Creams: The best of the best. The 400ml pump bottle retails for R375.

Let’s move on to the hero of the post. The new La Roche-Posay Lipikar Cleansing Oil is hands down the best cleansing oil I have ever used. THE BEST. Holy sheeet it’s amazing!! The oil is soap- and alcohol-free and they say it protects the skin against the drying effects of hard water. It is lipid-replenishing and that aids in rebuilding the skin barrier. ‘Niacinamide helps to restore the cutaneous barrier, soothe the sensation of tightness and Shea Butter aids intense lipid replenishment.’ Only a small amount of oil is needed as it works up to a lovely lather. It feels great whilst you wash, but it’s when you rinse that you feel it… smooth, soft, hydrated skin. It leaves my skin feeling and looking incredible. It really is so good. If you suffer from similar skin concerns as I do, please give it a try. Please. I know I’m rambling on, but I’m trying my best to get my point across. I will most definitely buy this for myself. Over and over again. The oil retails for R230 for 400ml which I don’t think is too bad as the product lasts very well. That, and it’s fantastic!
