La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP+M 200ml

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP+M is a triple-action balm that is immediately soothing and anti-itch and spaces flare-ups of severe dryness, where the skin barrier is restored for long-lasting comfort. Suitable for those with eczema or atopic-prone skin or extremely dry, irritated skin. It can be used by adults, children, and babies.

Eco-Conscious Tube: the 2nd generation of cosmetic tubes integrating cardboard – a 60% reduction in the use of plastic.

Key ingredients include a newly updated, exclusive patented active ingredient, postbiotic Aqua Posae Filiformis + Microresyl, which controls the physiological microbiome: it rebuilds, rebalances, re-establishes, and stabilises the microbiome and helps to restore the skin barrier. Niacinamide soothes relief of pruritus (itching) and decreases inflammation. Shea butter replenishes the hydrolipid film, repairing the skin barrier, while Glycerin restores suppleness. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, a real wonder of nature, is a prebiotic that reduces sensitivity with its soothing antioxidant properties due to its unique Selenium content – a mineral that protects the cellular metabolism. Fragrance-free.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP+M has been updated to include Microresyl and is the first balm that inhibits biofilm formation. In a new scientific finding, it was found that staphylococcal biofilm formation plays a role in aggravating Atopic Dermatitis. This new formula has been shown to inhibit this biofilm formation while also limiting staphylococci over-proliferation and rebalancing the skin microbiome. If this remains unbalanced, even if the barrier function is restored, attacks of severe dryness, irritation, and itching will continue.
