La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX Triple Repair Moisturizing Body Cream

quite frankly this is one of the few products i trust with the full geographical map of my body. face, neck, chest, random dry patch on elbow that appeared after i walked past a radiator too confidently. all of it. my skin has the structural integrity of a frail victorian aristocrat who’s just received troubling correspondence. a strong wind? redness. weather change? devastation. one overly fragranced body wash drifting through the air molecules near me? suddenly my skin barrier is writing its will by candlelight. and this stuff genuinely calms everything down. rich without feeling greasy, deeply moisturising without that weird suffocating film some heavy creams leave behind where you feel like a basted chicken rotating gently under kitchen lights. it just sinks in properly and leaves my skin soft, comfortable and noticeably less dramatic. the niacinamide and shea butter combo in this is genuinely excellent for barrier support. whenever my skin starts acting spiritually exhausted, this is what i reach for first. i’ve used much more expensive creams that performed worse while charging me like they were funding a private moon launch. which is the thing that continues to mildly astonish me. for the quality, this is so affordable. especially because the bottle lasts forever. you need less than you think unless you’re doing what i do and applying it with the emotional urgency of a medieval healer trying to save the kingdom. also crucially: no overpowering fragrance. thank god. i do not want my moisturiser competing with my perfume, my laundry detergent and my nervous system simultaneously. sometimes i just want hydration without being hunted for sport by synthetic peony molecules. my bathroom shelf at this point genuinely looks like a tiny apothecary dedicated exclusively to “preventing my skin from experiencing adversity” and this has earned permanent residency there. if they discontinue it i’ll probably be outside la roche-posay headquarters in a long black veil holding a single unmoisturised hand to the sky. if you’re new to my reviews, chai is currency. a chai in nyc is roughly $10 because apparently milk, tea and cardamom now require venture capital. this bottle is $21.99, so we’re looking at a little over two chais. by chaiconomy standards, that is an extremely easy yes. two chais gets me 400ml of moisturiser that i use on both my face and body, lasts an absurdly long time, and has repeatedly outperformed creams costing several times as much. financially, the moisturiser has behaved with considerably more dignity than i have. ✨tl;dr✨ sensitive dry skin people… this is the one. rich, soothing, barrier-loving, lasts ages and somehow costs less than half the luxury creams that give you 90ml of disappointment and a tiny spatula.

I at my age of over 70 have lots of dry patches on my skin, my dermatology doctor says those are going to be age spots! No way! In doing research, I found this product to be very hydrating, using it every evening before bed, has literally make my dry spots hardly noticeable and they are not changing to a dark color! Besides that, it gets rid of crepey skin, feels good, smells good! Good! Most of all it works great! You don't need much and it goes a long ways. I've been using for 6 weeks now and I will not use anything else! I highly recommend!

I’ve tried all of the usual suspects for dry skin, the ones the docs say to use that are thick and supposed to be the best. They aren’t. This lotion, however, is INCREDIBLE. It immediately was absorbed by my skin, but my skin was soft, hydrated, not sticky. It’s worth it’s weight in gold. This stuff works.

The best repairing moisturizer. I use it for both the body and the face at night and the results are spectacular. Leaves the skin super soft, deeply hydrated and without any irritation because it has no fragrance. If you have sensitive or flaky skin, this cream will change your life. Highly recommended!

Pros: I have dry, sensitive skin and I live in a dry climate, and very few lotions actually moisturize without causing me any discomfort. This is one that does. No fragrance, no dyes, no problems on my skin even on my most sensitive areas. Cons: It’s not easy to use. The lotion is thick, which means it is difficult to spread and you end up using more of it to cover every part of your body. The container is also problematic. It’s shaped so that the pump stops working when you still have about 1/4 of the bottle remaining. I tried turning it over and shaking it, hitting it on my hand, etc and it comes to the top but is too thick to come out. The best method of getting all of the product out is to cut the bottle so you should save a jar to hold the remaining contents. Not a huge problem, but definitely annoying. Things to note: This product is more expensive than other similar products. I don’t know if we’re allowed to list other products by name but my favorite brand starts with a C and ends with a Ve and is just as hydrating and safe for my skin but also spreads better and has a better design for use. Bottom line: It’s a good product, and a little on the expensive side.

This lotion goes on REALLY smoothly and is pretty thick. It's a taaad hard to spread so you can't just take a coin-sized drop in your hand and spread it around your face. It's better to place a few dots all over your face and spread those. This lotion kind of creates a film on your face which locks hydration in and gives you a shine as well. This is why it's so good for dry skin. I have combination skin and it still works for me too (although I put less on my forehead/chin, a little goes a long way!!). But for oily skin? I imagine this would be TERRIBLE, because this doesn't really ever truly soak in. If I take my finger and press my face after 1-2hrs, I see quite a bit of oiliness come off on my finger. Again, great for hydration, amazing for dry skin and great price most of all! I used to use Neutragena Hydro Gel / Water Gel but it's just so expensive and this probably does more for me honestly.

See the squeeze in the bottle?! That's how much i love this. My skin was acting up and I bought to use and best believe this is my favorite moisturizer for my face! Not greasy at all and keeps it hydrated.

Makes my skin soft. Helps it heal when chapped. It hydrates very well and “sinks in” quickly. Love it—no noticeable scent.

Excellent
