For many, winter is dry-skin season. Those who deal with dryness all year round often find their skin becomes extra dry, and even those with normal or oily skin types can experience flaking and roughness when the weather turns colder due to dry air outside and artificial heat inside. Luckily, La Roche-Posay’s Lipikar line is ready to help you survive the season.
La Roche-Posay’s Lipikar line is known for its body and facial skin care solutions for sensitive, dry to very dry and eczema-prone skin. Formulated with shea butter, glycerin and niacinamide, Lipikar products provide intense hydration along with soothing benefits for these types of skin. Many of the products can be used on babies as young as two weeks old. (Be sure to check individual product packaging for details and safety information).
Recommended for adults and seniors, the latest addition to the La Roche-Posay Lipikar range is Lipikar Urea 10% Roughness Smoothing Lotion—and it’s gone viral! If seeing it all over social mediahasn’t already piqued your interest, learning about all the ways this exfoliating, hydrating cream can help your dry, rough, bumpy skin will. In a clinical study of 39 subjects, La Roche-Posay Lipikar Urea 10% Roughness Smoothing Lotion was applied twice a day for fourteen days and provided up to 48-hour hydration for dry, flaky, rough and bumpy skin.
It also offers gentle soothing benefits courtesy of urea, which is found naturally in the skin and works double-duty as a hydrator and exfoliator. In this new Lipikar lotion, urea helps soften and smooth rough, bumpy skin without the risk of disrupting the skin barrier like some other exfoliating ingredients. In fact, in our clinical study, non-sticky and fast-absorbing Lipikar Urea 10% Roughness Smoothing Lotion improved skin barrier function within one hour of application.
Lipikar Urea 10% Roughness Smoothing Lotion is also formulated with HEPES, which is known for its exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties. This synthetic acid enhances exfoliation by breaking the bonds that bind dead cells to the skin’s surface without aggravating sensitive skin.
These ingredients meet ultra-hydrating, soothing and restorative shea butter sustainably sourced from Burkina Faso to make Lipikar Urea 10% Roughness Smoothing Lotion the ultimate multitasking body care that delivers results you can see and feel after just one application. For optimal hydration and soothing, wash with La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil before applying moisturizer.
