Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really safe to use on newborns as young as two weeks old, or should I wait longer?
Yes—it's clinically tested and proven safe for babies as young as two weeks. This makes it an excellent choice for families managing infant eczema or dry skin conditions from birth onward. Always patch-test on a small area first if your baby has known sensitivities, and consult your pediatrician if applying to compromised skin.
Will one product work for my whole family, from my newborn to my older children and myself?
Absolutely—the pediatrician- and dermatologist-tested formula is designed for multi-generational use. Parents love that they can eliminate separate products for different family members, simplify their bathroom cabinet, and use one trusted cream for everyone's dry or eczema-prone skin.
Does the fast-absorbing formula mean my kids won't have sticky hands after I apply it to their bodies?
Yes—the non-greasy texture absorbs quickly and leaves a velvety finish, so children can dress and play within minutes without feeling slick or uncomfortable. This is especially helpful for active kids who don't want to wait for their moisturizer to dry before getting dressed.
Is this product free from ingredients known to irritate sensitive baby skin?
The formula is hypoallergenic and designed for sensitive skin. It's free from common irritants like parabens and alcohol. However, it does contain shea butter, ceramides, and glycerin—common ingredients in baby skincare. Always review the full ingredient list for any known family allergies, and consult your pediatrician for babies with severe allergies or atopic dermatitis.
Can I apply this to my baby's diaper area, or should I use a separate barrier cream?
This is a body moisturizer designed for overall skin hydration, not a diaper cream. For the diaper area, use a dedicated diaper rash cream with zinc oxide or similar barrier ingredients. You can use Lipikar AP+MAX on your baby's face, neck, arms, and legs for general dry skin and eczema management.
How should I apply La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX for best results?
Apply generously to clean, dry skin immediately after bathing or showering, while skin is slightly damp. This helps lock in moisture. Use on face and body as needed—most users apply once daily (typically at night) for ongoing hydration, though you can apply more frequently for acute dry patches. A little goes a long way; most people use a coin-sized amount per body section.
Can I use this cream on my face, or is it only for body?
Yes—the formula is dermatologist-tested for safe use on both face and body. However, it's richer than typical facial moisturizers, so those with oily or acne-prone facial skin may prefer a lighter facial alternative. For dry facial skin or eczema-prone faces, this works beautifully. Always patch-test on your jawline first if you're unsure.
What's in the box when I order La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX?
You'll receive your chosen size: a 6.7 oz single jar, 13.5 oz large jar, or 8.03 oz twin-pack (two smaller jars). No additional application tools are included—simply use your fingers or a clean applicator. The product comes ready to use; no activation or mixing is required.
Is La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX suitable for very sensitive or reactive skin?
Yes—the formula is specifically designed for sensitive, eczema-prone, and reactive skin. It's National Eczema Association-accepted and dermatologist-tested. However, individual sensitivities vary. If you have severe allergies or active skin conditions, patch-test on a small area first (such as behind your ear or on your inner arm) and discontinue if any irritation occurs. When in doubt, consult your dermatologist before use.
What's the difference between a body cream and a body lotion—which is this product?
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX is technically a body cream, meaning it's richer and thicker than a lotion but lighter and less greasy than traditional heavy creams. The fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula bridges the gap—it delivers intensive moisture like a cream but feels like a premium lotion. This makes it ideal for severe dryness without the heavy feeling some people dislike.
How long will a jar last if I'm using it regularly?
A 6.7 oz jar typically lasts 4–6 weeks with daily full-body application, depending on how much you use per application. The 13.5 oz size lasts approximately 8–12 weeks. Heavy users or those applying to large body areas may deplete jars faster. For households with multiple people or chronic dry skin, the twin-pack or larger size offers better value and ensures you don't run out.
Does La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX contain fragrance, and could it bother sensitive noses?
The formula has a subtle, light scent—not fragrance-free, but intentionally minimal and clinical. Most customers find it pleasant and non-intrusive. If you have fragrance sensitivities or are undergoing treatment where scent triggers nausea or sensitivity, the scent may be noticeable but is generally well-tolerated. If this is a concern, contact customer service to confirm the scent profile before purchasing.
Is this product tested on animals, and is it vegan?
La Roche-Posay, as a major pharmaceutical skincare brand, is cruelty-free and does not conduct animal testing. However, the product contains shea butter and glycerin, which are animal-derived ingredients, making it non-vegan. If you require vegan skincare, this product is not suitable. For detailed ingredient sourcing information, visit the La Roche-Posay website or contact customer service.
