La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lait Anti-Dryness Body Milk 400ml is a lipid-replenishing body lotion that delivers 48 hours of hydration to dry and very dry skin. Its shea butter and niacinamide formula reinforces the skin barrier and eases the tightness and itching that come with dryness. The milk texture absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy or sticky film, and it is gentle enough for the whole family, from babies through to seniors.

Why the Lipikar Lait Anti-Dryness Body Milk Works

Dry skin is a barrier problem. When the skin's hydrolipidic film is depleted, water escapes and irritants get in, which is what produces tightness, flaking and itch. Lipikar Lait replaces those missing lipids with shea butter, which is close to the skin's own, then seals them in so hydration holds for a full 48 hours. In a climate of constant air conditioning and dry heat, that staying power is the difference between comfort and reapplying all day.

Ideal For

Lipikar Lait suits dry to very dry skin, and skin that feels tight after washing. La Roche-Posay states it is suitable for use on mild eczema-prone and atopic-prone skin. It is allergy-tested and developed under dermatological and paediatric supervision, so babies, children, adults and seniors can all use it. The 400ml pump bottle makes it practical for daily full-body use across a whole household.

• Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter): the second ingredient in the formula. It restores the skin's hydrolipidic film with lipids similar to the skin's own.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): helps soothe itching sensations and supports the lipid barrier, which is why it appears across atopic-prone skincare.

• Glycerin: a humectant that draws water into the upper layers of the skin and holds it there.

• Rapeseed Seed Oil (Brassica Campestris): a plant oil that nourishes and softens dry skin.

• Occlusive base (mineral oil, beeswax, dimethicone): seals the moisture in, which is how the 48-hour hydration is sustained.

La Roche-Posay updates its formulations periodically, so always check the ingredient list printed on your pack.

1. Apply once a day to clean, dry skin. Straight after a shower works best, while skin is still slightly warm.

2. Dispense from the pump and massage gently over the body until fully absorbed.

3. Reapply to very dry areas such as elbows, knees and shins as needed.

Do not swallow. Keep out of reach of children. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with water. If you have eczema, speak to your doctor or another qualified healthcare professional before use.
