Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Daily moisturising can help maintain comfort in dry and sensitive skin, especially when the skin is regularly exposed to hot showers, soaps, cold weather or indoor heating.
From a pharmacy skincare perspective:
- Apply body lotion after bathing while the skin is still comfortable and not overly dry.
- Avoid very hot showers if the skin is prone to dryness.
- Shea butter provides emollient lipids that help soften the skin.
- Glycerin helps attract and retain water within the outer skin layers.
- Niacinamide is widely used in barrier-focused sensitive-skin formulations.
- A lightweight lotion may suit normal to moderately dry skin better than a heavy balm.
- Reapply to areas that become dry during the day.
- Persistent cracking, inflammation, bleeding or significant itching may require professional assessment.
- Dry skin accompanied by a widespread rash or infection should not be managed solely with cosmetic moisturisers.
Lipikar Lotion is cosmetic skincare and should not be presented as treating eczema, psoriasis or another medical skin condition.
Not Suitable For
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to an ingredient
- Direct application into the eyes
- Direct application to the lips
- Significantly infected or broken skin without appropriate advice
How to Use
- Apply to clean skin after bathing or showering.
- Massage gently over the body until absorbed.
- Repeat as required for normal to dry skin.
- Can be used daily.

FAQs
1. What is La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion used for?
La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion is a daily body moisturiser for normal to dry skin, including sensitive skin. It helps hydrate and replenish the skin’s essential lipids using a formula containing 10% shea butter, niacinamide and glycerin. Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly and leaves a non-greasy finish, making it suitable for regular family use after bathing or whenever the skin feels dry or tight.
2. Is Lipikar Lotion suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Sensitive skin is specifically included among the intended skin types for Lipikar Lotion. The product is dermatologically tested and current product information describes it as suitable for delicate, sensitive skin. Individual sensitivities can still occur, so people with known cosmetic allergies should review the current ingredient list before use.
3. Can babies use La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion?
Current Irish pharmacy and La Roche-Posay product information describes Lipikar Lotion as suitable for the whole family, including babies, children, adults and seniors. It has also been tested under paediatric supervision. As with any baby skincare product, stop use if irritation develops and seek advice if a baby has persistent inflamed or broken skin.
4. How much shea butter is in Lipikar Lotion?
Current product information states that La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion contains 10% cold-pressed shea butter. Shea butter acts as an emollient in the formulation and helps replenish lipids while softening dry skin. It is combined with glycerin, niacinamide, mineral oil and other skin-conditioning ingredients.
5. Does La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion contain niacinamide?
Yes. Niacinamide appears in the published ingredient list. It is a form of vitamin B3 widely used in cosmetic skincare designed for sensitive and dry skin. In Lipikar Lotion it complements the moisturising action of shea butter and glycerin and forms part of the product’s barrier-focused daily body-care formulation.
6. Is Lipikar Lotion greasy?
No. La Roche-Posay describes Lipikar Lait Body Lotion as lightweight, non-greasy and fast absorbing. Current Irish pharmacy information also describes the texture as quick drying and non-sticky. This makes it particularly convenient for daytime use or for people who dislike the heavier feel of rich body balms.
7. Can I use La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion every day?
Yes. Lipikar Lotion is specifically designed as a daily body moisturiser. Apply it after cleansing and repeat as required whenever the skin feels dry. Consistent daily moisturising can be especially useful during colder weather, indoor heating seasons or periods of frequent showering when skin dryness may become more noticeable.
8. Can Lipikar Lotion be used on the face?
The product is primarily positioned as a body lotion. For facial dryness or sensitivity, a facial moisturiser from La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane or another appropriate range is usually the more targeted choice. Avoid the eye and lip areas when applying Lipikar Lotion and rinse thoroughly with water if accidental eye contact occurs.
9. What is the difference between Lipikar Lotion and Lipikar Baume AP+M?
Lipikar Lotion is a lighter everyday moisturiser for normal to dry skin, while Lipikar Baume AP+M is a richer balm intended for very dry and eczema-prone body skin. Customers who want a fast-absorbing lotion for routine hydration may prefer Lipikar Lotion, whereas very dry or itch-prone skin may require a more intensive balm formulation.
10. Is La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion suitable for older people?
Yes. Current manufacturer information states that Lipikar Lait Body Lotion is suitable across the whole family, including seniors. Older skin can become increasingly dry as natural lipid levels decline, so a daily moisturiser containing shea butter, glycerin and emollient ingredients may be particularly useful for maintaining skin softness and comfort.
11. Does Lipikar Lotion contain fragrance?
The published ingredient lists for the standard Lipikar Lait Body Lotion sources used here do not list parfum/fragrance. However, La Roche-Posay formulations can vary by market and change over time, so anyone specifically avoiding fragrance due to allergy or sensitivity should always check the ingredient declaration on the physical product received before use.
12. What should I use if Lipikar Lotion is not rich enough for my dry skin?
If the skin remains very dry, rough or uncomfortable despite regular Lipikar Lotion use, a richer Lipikar balm may be more suitable. Very rough or flaky skin may also benefit from a dedicated urea-containing body lotion where appropriate. Persistent redness, marked itching, cracking or recurrent inflammation should be discussed with a pharmacist, GP or dermatologist rather than managed solely by increasing cosmetic moisturiser use.
