The fragrance-free system is ideal in its simplicity. It’s light sufficient that it may be used on delicate and eczema-prone pores and skin (it’s even earned the Nationwide Eczema Affiliation’s Seal of Acceptance). And since it’s loaded with some tried-and-true moisturizers — shea butter, glycerin — it’s additionally efficient sufficient that it removed a cussed dry flaky patch on my hand (the results of my engagement ring rubbing in opposition to my pinky 24/7). It’s designed to be used on the face and on the physique, and it helps calm redness (the system has niacinamide, which helps take down flushing). And despite the fact that it’s acquired two seemingly contradictory phrases in its identify — “balm” and “cream” — this moisturizer feels (and appears) similar to a wealthy cream happening.

However that’s to not counsel that it’s simply therapeutic: La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Balm Intense Restore Moisturizing Cream additionally provides my cheeks a fairly, natural-looking dewiness that I really like. As a result of the system is so wealthy and so creamy, there are just a few ways in which I like to make use of it: 1) I’ll faucet somewhat over my cheeks for a glow, after smoothing a lighter moisturizer or serum over my entire face. 2) I’ll use it as an in a single day remedy on days when my face is trying or feeling dry to steadiness it again out. 3) I exploit it recurrently as a physique moisturizer, and it makes my legs, palms, and arms smooth and clean. Plus, it’s unassuming after it’s rubbed in. There is no slippery really feel, and no perfume to compete with my favourite fragrance.
