Ah yes winter skin. It’s that time during the year when you are all out and about and then over time your hands become so dry, flaky, and start to crack. For a long time I’ve been using any lotion I could find as my winter skin remedy, but even though some of them worked well and was rarely effective–I felt it wasn’t the highest of quality. After loving La Roche Posay for my main facial skin regimen, I found the perfect winter skin remedy from the Lipikar collection of La Roche Posay for dry skin and eczema.
I decided to first try the Lipikar Balm AP+ and I can tell you–I was very happy how fast and effective it can do for your most damaged winter skin. I put it on at night before bed because I usually wash my hands throughout the day. Putting it on at night is most helpful since it gets the most saturated and the next day it was so soft and smooth. This especially helped with healing all the cracks and wounds you would experience with winter skin. I went ahead and got the rest to find out all about the other items which includes the Lipikar lotion, Lipikar wash, and Lipikar eczema cream. To no surprise and as always, the rest of the La Roche Posay Lipikar products were all effective and of high quality. I recommend all and do read more below for more information about each.
Lipikar Balm AP+
(Intense repair moisturizing cream – Lipid replenishing, up to 48hr hydration. Clinically shown to reduce dry, rough skin.)
This cream is the most potent for correcting dry skin. I always put this at night and rarely throughout the day because I want my skin to have the most absorption time to heal since I usually wash my hands throughout the day. It really does hydrate your skin for awhile and the texture is just right because it is not sticky or oily but very creamy. Your skin will be soft, smooth, and cracks and wounds will soften and close up. Jump into this if you have severely damaged dry skin and this will correct everything in no time.
Lipikar Lotion
(Daily repair moisturizing lotion – Lipid replenishing, all day hydration.)
This lotion is a lighter less creamy version of the Lipikar Balm AP+. I would use it throughout the day after I wash my hands just to have a light layer of hydration on the skin. If you don’t have any dramatic issues with your skin and just want basic maintenance then this is the the lotion you will want to use.
Lipikar Wash AP+
(Gentle foaming moisturizing wash – Gently cleanses body and face without stripping. Up to 24hr hydration, starting in the shower.)
This will work wonders for your skin in the shower because of it’s complex integrated in a wash that will do more than what most basic washes are. This left my skin super soft after usage and knowing even better that it will hydrate for up to 24 hrs.
Lipikar Eczema
(Soothing relief cream | Colloidal oatmeal skin protectant – Clinically shown to help relieve itchy, irritated skin. Lipid replenishing, instant and lasting hydration.)
Sometimes I will get a random case of Eczema and I have no idea why. This cream really does it’s wonders to suppress the itch, irritation, and rash from going crazy. Great for body, hands, and face. Just don’t scratch!
But wait is there more?
So far, there are four key items in the Lipikar collection that are currently in the US. I have seen around that there other Lipikar items that may be from other countries, like the: face oil, stick balms, shower gels, & more. I hope they bring more items readily available into the US collection and I’ll be ready to share more information about them with you all. I hope you find the opportunity to try the items in the Lipikar collection someday soon and I hope that this winter skin remedy works for you. I am always looking forward to your feedback, experience, and your thoughts of these items. If you have any questions feel free to ask and don’t forget to check out my other posts in beauty. Check back in for more about skin until next time. Bye and thanks for reading!
