La Roche-Posay Lipikar Baume AP+M 400ml

The 400ml pump of Lipikar Baume AP+M gives the whole family the same triple-action emollient in a size that makes generous, twice-daily use realistic. Lipikar Baume AP+M is the emollient balm at the centre of La Roche-Posay's eczema range, suitable from birth and used by adults, children and babies with very dry, itchy, atopic skin. Shea butter and glycerin restore lipids and water to a barrier that in eczema is genetically leaky, and niacinamide calms inflammation and supports barrier repair. Aqua Posae Filiformis, a prebiotic from the brand's thermal spring, rebalances the skin microbiome, where an overgrowth of Staphylococcus aureus drives eczema flares, and Microresyl targets the itch-scratch cycle that damages skin further. In clinical studies it extended the time between flares. Every eczema guideline puts daily emollient use at the foundation of treatment, and this is one of the best-tolerated options.

Eczema emollients only work in generous amounts, applied every day, and a child with eczema can use a large tub in a week or two. Guidelines call for exactly that quantity. A 400ml pump makes consistent, liberal use affordable, which is what keeps skin calm and cuts down on steroid creams.
