La Roche-Posay Lipikar — Eczema & Very Dry Skin Ireland

Eczema involves two simultaneous problems: an impaired barrier that lets irritants penetrate, and a microbiome imbalance that disrupts the skin’s immune response. The Lipikar AP+M formula addresses both. Aqua Posae Filiformis restores the microbiome balance associated with atopic skin, while shea butter and niacinamide repair the barrier and reduce inflammation.

“The most common eczema mistake I see is treating only during flares. Eczema is a chronic barrier condition — the barrier needs daily maintenance even when the skin looks clear. I use Lipikar Baume AP+M in care home protocols for elderly patients with xerotic skin. The formula works for everyone.”

How to Use Lipikar for Best Results

• Use daily, not only during flares — consistent daily use reduces the frequency and severity of flare-ups over time.
• Apply to damp skin after bathing — pat dry, leave slightly damp, apply immediately to lock moisture in.
• Choose the 400ml format for daily full-body use — practical and cost-effective for ongoing treatment.
• For face and acute flares — use Cicaplast Baume B5 on the face where Lipikar may feel too heavy. Safe from birth.

Suitable for the whole family including babies from birth. For eczema-prone babies, daily application after bathtime reduces flare risk. Speak to Aidan for a personalised routine.
