LA ROCHE POSAY LIPIKAR BALM AP+, INTENSE REPAIR MOISTURIZING CREAM

Product Information

And even though it’s got two seemingly contradictory words in its name — “balm” and “cream” — this moisturizer feels (and looks) just like a rich cream going on.

I've been using this moisturizer for the last few years, ever since I was on Accutane and my dermatologist recommended it. Suitable for adults, children and babies, the Lipikar Baume AP+ from La Roche-Posay leaves skin feeling soothed. Ceramides make up 50% of the goopy stuff that's between our skin cells and play a super important role in having a healthy skin barrier and keeping the skin hydrated.Other than that, salt also works as an emulsion stabilizer in water-in-oil emulsions, that is when water droplets are dispersed in the outer oil (or silicone) phase.

The reason for this is that salt acts as a fantastic thickener in cleansing formulas created with ionic cleansing agents (aka surfactants) such as Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Combined with La Roche-Posay Lipikar Syndet AP(+) Shower Gel (which can also be used on the face) there is lot less dryness throughout the medication period, you can feel the moisturizing effect already in the shower. Cradle to Cradle Certified is the world's most comprehensive standard for safe, circular and responsible products.

Depending on your hair type, it can be a bit difficult to wash out and might cause some build-up (btw, this is not true to all silicones, only the non-volatile types).

It can be produced from most vegetable oils (in oils three fatty acid molecules are attached to glycerin instead of just one like here) in a pretty simple, "green" process that is similar to soap making.

Similar to other products from the brand, La Roche-Posay’s Lipikar AP+M Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream was developed using a formulation charter that has a minimal number of ingredients and has undergone stringent clinical testing for efficacy and safety. An extremely common multitasker ingredient that gives your skin a nice soft feel (emollient) and gives body to creams and lotions. La Roche-Posay’s Lipikar Balm AP+ Intense Repair Moisturizing Cream is relaunching with a brand-new name and enhanced formulation.The paraben-free formula has been tested on sensitive skin and contains a high concentration of the brand's signature Thermal Spring Water. The cream comes out through a pump, but after several uses, the cream is too thick to be drawn through the dispenser tube and stops pumping, although there is still plenty of cream left at the bottom of the dispenser. Fatty alcohols have a long oil-soluble (and thus emollient) tail part that makes them absolutely non-drying and non-irritating and are totally ok for the skin. I wasn't sure this moisturizer would help much with my dry itchy skin when the humidity drops in my house and the heat is on.
