#  The Dermatologist-Recommended Routine For Dry, Itchy Skin  


Few brands target specific skin concerns like La Roche-Posay. Loved for their fuss-free formulas and gentle approach, they create products that can be tolerated by even the most sensitive of skin. If your own is suffering in reaction to the colder temperatures or seasonal changes, look no further than their cult Lipikar line. Lauded as the best way to soothe severe dryness, the range continues to be a global bestseller. Here’s why…

CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LA ROCHE-POSAY

 

 

 

As a brand that prides itself on being dermatologist-recommended, [La Roche-Posay](https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/trackclk/N8897.274448SHEERLUXE.COM/B25285190.294773718;dc_trk_aid=487750232;dc_trk_cid=145338515;dc_lat=;dc_rdid=;tag_for_child_directed_treatment=;tfua=;gdpr=$%7BGDPR%7D;gdpr_consent=$%7BGDPR_CONSENT_755%7D) aims to cater to every individual need – from blemishes, to sensitivity and severe dryness – with the latter taken care of predominantly by their [Lipikar range](https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/trackclk/N8897.274448SHEERLUXE.COM/B25285190.294773718;dc_trk_aid=487750232;dc_trk_cid=145338515;dc_lat=;dc_rdid=;tag_for_child_directed_treatment=;tfua=;gdpr=$%7BGDPR%7D;gdpr_consent=$%7BGDPR_CONSENT_755%7D).   
   
With pared back formulations, Lipikar products contain prebiotic thermal water, shea butter and calming niacinamide – all of which work in tandem to protect the delicate skin barrier. <a>In fact, it’s their unique formula that sets them apart, helping to restore the skin’s protective barrier function so dry skin flare-ups become things of the past. The products work well for all skin types, including adults, teenagers and babies, too. </a>  
  
What’s more, the textures are silky soft, with a satin dry down that feels luxe and nourishing – and never sticky. No wonder 9/10 UK dermatologists recommend La Roche-Posay to their patients.\*

**Here are three must-haves from the best-selling line…**

### Lipikar AP+ Syndet Body Wash 400ml, £16.50

**Best For:** Gentle Cleansing

**What It Does:** Whatever your skin complaint – this gentle soap substitute is guaranteed to help. With a soft foam, it lathers up gently, gliding over the skin without ever stripping it of its natural moisture levels. It’s fragrance-free, and suitable for sensitive skin. Despite this, you’ll still feel incredibly clean post-use, while skin has a satisfying softness.

### Lipikar Body Moisturising Balm AP+ 400ml, £20

**Best For:** Hydrating &amp; Locking In Moisture

**What It Does:** This gentle balm works quickly to soothe skin and deliver instant hydration. If you suffer with intense itchiness, dryness or any form of dry skin flare-ups, make this your go-to. It works to help rebalance your skin’s microbiome (the microorganisms that sit on top of and within your skin) and leave a softer, smoother appearance. <a>Use it all over the body, and</a> beware, a little goes a long way. Shea butter, glycerine and niacinamide all combine in a formula to give skin a healthy and more hydrated appearance from first use, plus, it’s also suitable for use on eczema-prone skin, too.

### Cicaplast B5 Soothing Repairing Balm 100ml, £14

**Best For:** Soothing Daily Skin Irritations

**What It Does:** Multi-purpose, there’s not much this balm doesn’t do. Non-sticky, it can be used on the face, body, lips and hands – wherever skin needs some extra nourishment. The formula, enriched with panthenol and madecassoside, helps repair skin’s barrier function and hydrates dry skin to help keep redness, flaky skin at bay. We love the thick, luxurious texture, too, which melts into the skin and provides instant relief. Great for on-the-go – keep one in every drawer and bag so you’re never caught out.
