Why Choose This Product
La Roche-Posay Lipikar Hands is a good choice for customers who want effective daily hand moisturisation without the heaviness associated with some intensive barrier creams.
Its combination of glycerin, allantoin, emollient ingredients and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water provides moisturising and skin-conditioning care. The water-resistant, non-greasy finish also makes it particularly practical for daytime use.
For customers comparing the La Roche-Posay hand-care range, Lipikar Hands is a lighter everyday option for dry and chapped hands, while Cicaplast Hands provides more intensive barrier-focused care for particularly overworked hands.

Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Dry hands are particularly common when the skin is repeatedly exposed to hand washing, soap, detergents, sanitising products, cold weather or occupational irritants.
From a pharmacy skincare perspective:
- Apply moisturiser regularly throughout the day rather than waiting for severe dryness to develop.
- Reapply whenever your hands begin to feel dry or tight.
- Glycerin acts as a humectant within moisturising formulations.
- Allantoin is included as a skin-conditioning ingredient.
- The non-greasy finish makes Lipikar Hands convenient for regular daytime application.
- Use lukewarm rather than very hot water when washing dry or sensitive hands.
- Dry the hands gently rather than rubbing them vigorously.
- Protective gloves may help when working with detergents, cleaning products or other potential irritants.
- Persistent redness, itching, cracking or inflammation may indicate hand dermatitis or another skin condition.
- Deep cracks, bleeding, discharge, increasing pain or other signs of infection require appropriate healthcare assessment.
Lipikar Hands is a cosmetic moisturising product. It should not be described as treating or curing eczema, dermatitis or other medical skin conditions.
Not Suitable For
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to an ingredient
- Customers specifically requiring a fragrance-free hand cream
- Use as a substitute for medical treatment of infected or significantly inflamed skin
How to Use
Apply La Roche-Posay Lipikar Hands to the hands as often as required.

FAQs
1. What is La Roche-Posay Lipikar Hands used for?
La Roche-Posay Lipikar Hands is a daily moisturising hand cream specifically formulated for dry, very dry and chapped hands. It helps moisturise dehydrated skin while supporting the skin's protective hydrolipidic film. The cream leaves a light protective layer while being designed to absorb quickly without a greasy finish. It can be applied throughout the day whenever hands feel dry, tight or uncomfortable.
2. Is La Roche-Posay Lipikar Hands suitable for very dry hands?
Yes. Lipikar Hands is specifically formulated for dry, very dry and chapped hands. It combines moisturising and emollient ingredients including glycerin, mineral oil and dimethicone with allantoin. The formula helps leave dehydrated hands feeling softer and more supple. If your hands remain severely cracked, painful, inflamed or bleeding despite regular moisturising, speak to your pharmacist or GP for further advice.
3. Is Lipikar Hands the same as Lipikar Xerand?
Lipikar Hands is commonly listed as La Roche-Posay Lipikar Xerand Hand Repair Cream. Current retailers use both "Lipikar for Hands" and "Lipikar Xerand Hand Repair Cream" when referring to the 50ml product. When comparing products online, check the pack size and ingredient list to ensure you are looking at the correct formulation.
4. Does La Roche-Posay Lipikar Hands feel greasy?
The product is specifically described as fast-absorbing and non-greasy. It leaves a light film on the skin while providing moisturising and protective care. This makes it convenient for daytime use when you do not want a heavy hand cream leaving significant residue on keyboards, phones or other objects.
5. How often can I use Lipikar Hands?
La Roche-Posay recommends applying Lipikar Hands as often as needed and massaging the cream into the hands until absorbed. People who wash their hands frequently may find it useful to reapply after washing or whenever the skin begins to feel dry or tight. Consistent moisturising is particularly useful during colder weather or periods of frequent exposure to water and cleansing products.
6. Is La Roche-Posay Lipikar Hands water-resistant?
Yes. Lipikar Hands is described as water-resistant. Its formulation is designed to leave a light protective film while helping support the skin's hydrolipidic barrier. Water resistance does not mean that the cream never needs to be reapplied, particularly after repeated hand washing, so use it again whenever your hands begin to feel dry.
7. Does Lipikar Hands contain glycerin?
Yes. Glycerin appears prominently in the published ingredient list for La Roche-Posay Lipikar Hands. Glycerin is a humectant widely used in moisturising skincare formulations because it helps attract and retain moisture. The formulation also contains emollient and barrier-supporting cosmetic ingredients including mineral oil and dimethicone.
8. Does La Roche-Posay Lipikar Hands contain fragrance?
Yes. Parfum/fragrance appears in the currently published ingredient list. This is worth noting because Lipikar Hands should not be described as fragrance-free. If you have a known fragrance sensitivity or specifically require fragrance-free hand care, check the current ingredient declaration on the packaging and consider an appropriate alternative.
9. Is Lipikar Hands suitable for sensitive skin?
La Roche-Posay positions the Lipikar range for sensitive skin, and current product information describes the hand cream as suitable for dry, very dry and chapped hands, including sensitive skin. However, individual reactions are always possible. If you have known allergies or sensitivities, check the current ingredient list before application and discontinue use if persistent irritation occurs.
10. Can I use La Roche-Posay Lipikar Hands every day?
Yes. Lipikar Hands is designed for everyday hand care and can be applied as often as needed. Daily use may be particularly useful for people whose hands are regularly exposed to water, soaps, cleaning products or cold weather. For very dry hands, applying the cream after washing and again before bed can help maintain consistent moisturising care.
11. What is the difference between Lipikar Hands and Cicaplast Hands?
Both products are intended for dry hands, but they have different formulations. Lipikar Hands is a lightweight, water-resistant everyday moisturising hand cream containing glycerin and allantoin. Cicaplast Hands is positioned as a more intensive barrier hand cream and contains high concentrations of glycerin and niacinamide. Customers wanting lighter everyday moisturisation may prefer Lipikar Hands, while very overworked hands may benefit from the more barrier-focused Cicaplast formulation.
12. When should I seek advice rather than just using hand cream?
Regular moisturising is appropriate for uncomplicated dry skin, but persistent itching, significant redness, painful cracks, bleeding or recurrent inflammation can indicate an underlying skin condition such as hand dermatitis. Signs such as increasing pain, warmth, swelling, discharge or rapidly worsening redness also warrant healthcare assessment. In these circumstances, ask your pharmacist or GP for advice rather than relying solely on cosmetic hand cream.
