Atopic Skin Care: Lipikar AP+M Balm by La Roche-Posay

This product will be of interest primarily to those who know firsthand what atopy is, as well as owners of very dry and sensitive skin. We are talking about the updated formula of Lipikar balm from La Roche-Posay – AP + M.

What is Lipikar AP+M by La Roche-Posay

The Lipikar AP+ line holds a special place in the La Roche-Posay portfolio and sets itself the rather difficult task of providing care for skin that is prone to atopy.

Such skin is characterized primarily by an inferior skin barrier, unable to provide adequate protection and resistance to external influences.

Hence the rather unpleasant consequences:

  • very severe dryness of the skin;

  • associated itching.

There is such a thing as a “vicious cycle of atopy”: itching provokes scratching of the skin, which further increases the itching. The itching-combing cycle is launched, which can lead to the formation of wounds and infection.

Atopic skin is prone to itching.

Cosmetics for atopic skin usually have the following characteristics:

  • contains emollients (film-forming components);

  • has a calming effect;

  • does not contain fragrances;

  • suitable not only for adults, but also for children, as well as babies;

  • designed for face and body.

Created in collaboration with dermatologists for the care of dry to extremely dry skin prone to atopy, Lipikar AP+M balm has these properties.

Main news: the formula has been enriched with a complex Aqua Posae Filiformis + Microresylwhich took eight years to develop. Both components of the complex are effective in maintaining the balance of the skin microbiome.

The microbiome is the collection of microorganisms that live on the surface of the skin. It contributes to the regulation of the physiological processes of the skin, including barrier and protective functions. It is the knowledge gained from studying the skin microbiome for eight years that inspires La Roche-Posay to create innovative cosmetic products with proven effectiveness.
