“Atopic dermatitis is accompanied by deterioration of the skin on the body and face. Dryness, peeling and redness of the epidermis cause a lot of trouble for people of all ages at any time of the year. Scratching abrasions and cracks that form on the skin with atopic dermatitis can become “gateways” for infection, so it is recommended to eliminate dryness and itching. Special medical and cosmetic moisturizers are used to care for atopic skin.”

Composition of the balm
Lipikar series products have a beneficial effect on very dry skin prone to allergies. This effect is due to the chemical composition, which includes the following components:
- Shea butter and canola (one of the varieties of rapeseed). These components are rich in Omega polyunsaturated fatty acids, which restore the lipid layer on the surface of the epidermis. Creating a protective film to prevent drying is the main purpose of fats in atopic skin care products. The softening effect of oils helps fight flaking.
- Glycine. This amino acid has valuable cosmetic and medicinal properties. It nourishes the surface layers of the skin, softens them, helps relieve inflammation during exacerbations of dermatitis and protects against the effects of free radicals.
- Glycerol. In a small concentration, it actively moisturizes the skin and stimulates its regeneration.
- Niacinamide. The vitamin component - the water-soluble form of B3 - has a complex effect. It prevents the loss of fluid from the surface layers, relieves inflammation and restores the barrier function of the skin.
- Thermal water. Another moisturizing component of Lipikar creams and balms. It is suitable for caring for skin prone to dryness, inflammation and allergic reactions.

Description:
Body balm that restores lipid levels.
“Treatment of atopic dermatitis is a permanent condition for people prone to skin rashes. A predisposition to atopy is inherited, and the patient’s health status depends on various factors: immune status, stress on the nervous system, living conditions of a person, his menu, diet and much more.
The fight against external manifestations of atopic disease is always carried out comprehensively. To relieve an allergic reaction from the inside, antihistamines are prescribed, and, if necessary, hormonal-based medications. Such remedies prevent the recurrence of rashes and eliminate itching. The use of antihistamines and hormonal agents in the treatment of atopic dermatitis is permissible only as directed and under the supervision of a specialist. In addition to oral antiallergic agents, people who suffer from dryness and irritation of the skin due to atopic disease are advised to use special skin treatment and care products.
For medicinal purposes, antihistamines and hormonal external agents can be prescribed, which, like allergy pills, must be used in courses on the recommendation of the attending physician. In addition to medical ones, there are cosmetics for moisturizing and caring for atopic-prone skin. Such products can be purchased without a prescription or doctor’s recommendations and used all year round. For example, the drug "Lipikar" for atopic dermatitis is used in adults and children daily if necessary. The hypoallergenic composition of the products in this line provides deep hydration of the skin, restores the natural protective layer of the epidermis, helps reduce itching and other unpleasant sensations that accompany the skin manifestation of atopic dermatitis.”

If allergic reactions in the form of itching, redness or irritation of the skin do not occur within 24 hours, the product can be used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Lipikar milk is used once a day, applying it with light movements to previously cleansed skin. If necessary, the frequency of application can be increased. Thanks to its comfortable texture, the milk is quickly absorbed by the skin without leaving a greasy or sticky feeling.
Lipikar Surgra shower cream is applied in a small amount to moisturized skin with light movements, then rinsed off with water.

Unique composition of the drug
Application of cream
To produce Lipikar, La Roche pharmacologists take the following elements:
- Niacinamide. Thanks to it, drying of the epidermis is prevented and its nutrition is ensured. In fact, this substance is the active form of vitamin B3, without which the natural metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates cannot occur. Thanks to the high content of niacinamide, the cream restores lipids, which protect the skin from irritation and dryness.
- Shea butter. Vegetable oil helps enrich and saturate the skin with fatty amino acids. It contains sterols that soothe irritated and flaky skin, which relieve the main symptoms of atopy.
- Glycerol. One of the best humidifiers that helps saturate cells with the maximum necessary amount of moisture. Glycerin also forms a protective layer on the surface of the dermis that prevents liquid from evaporating.
- Thermal water. The thermal water invented by the manufacturer has a unique composition that soothes irritated and damaged epidermis. Active substances help restore the number of elements necessary for the natural and healthy functioning of tissues.
It is worth noting that the Lipikar line does not contain chemical or harmful components. According to the instructions, the creams do not contain parabens or perfumes, which can cause allergies.
Precautionary measures
The Lipikar series is not a medicinal product, but a cosmetic product, so it is sold without a prescription. The series is approved for use during pregnancy. Cosmetics can also be used to care for the skin of children starting from the age of three months. However, before using any option from the line, it is recommended to consult with a specialist.
There are practically no contraindications to the use of the Lipikar line. It should not be used only if the body is hypersensitive to any of the components of the cream or milk.
No negative side effects were observed when used correctly. But if you experience discomfort or redness while using cosmetics, you should stop using the cream and consult a dermatologist.
So, the Lipikar line is a medicinal cosmetic created to care for atopic and excessively dry skin. To get the best result, it is recommended to use several drugs from the line, choosing those that help solve problems. For example, for dry facial skin, a cleansing gel and balm are ideal. The cosmetics are safe and do not cause side effects, however, a preliminary consultation with a specialist will not be superfluous.
The principle of operation of the emulsion
Consumer reviews confirm the high effectiveness of the drug. Already after the first use, elimination of itching and flaking is observed. The active substances of Lipikar contribute to the rapid restoration of damaged tissues.
There is also an increase in local immunity; a protective film is created on the skin, preventing exposure to external irritants.
The effect of using the emulsion lasts for 24 hours. Thanks to fatty acids, the lipid balance of the epidermis is restored. In a short time, the feeling of itching disappears, and the skin becomes softer.
Lipikar helps restore the skin's natural defenses against dehydration that develops from exposure to various negative factors.
The active components of the drug improve the structure of the lipid layer, preventing the penetration of pathogenic microflora.
pharmachologic effect
Lipikar is a wide range of cosmetic dermatological products for the care of atopic, dry and dehydrated skin of the face and body, characterized by a violation of the fat layer. When using various types of modern aggressive detergents, skin lotions, and cosmetics, lipid deficiency occurs in the skin.
Excessive use of sunbathing and solariums has an extremely negative effect on the skin.
The fat layer, at its core, is a protective barrier that prevents skin dehydration. With the loss of natural protection, the skin dries out, as a result of which the skin becomes rough, the person begins to experience discomfort, itching, skin tightness, and tingling appear. In addition, one of the main reasons for premature aging of the skin is precisely the disruption of the natural fat layer.
The Lipikar series is a popular line of products that have an intensive effect on dry skin, the safety and effectiveness of which have been confirmed by clinical trials.
The effect of Lipikar products is primarily due to two main components included in their composition, namely: canola oil and shea butter. These substances have a lipid-replenishing effect and contain large amounts of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
Karite oil, which has an affinity with the skin structure, guarantees natural replenishment of the hydrolipid film directly on the surface of the epidermis, reduces the intensity of irritation, moisturizes and softens the skin.
Canola oil gives a feeling of comfort and helps soften the skin.
Niacinamide reduces the severity of itching, prevents the penetration of bacteria, and increases the protective properties of the skin.
Excipients include glycerin, glycine and thermal water.
Glycine directly eliminates itching, thermal water has a softening effect and wound healing effect.
Lipikar balm for children
The use of Lipikar is permissible from the first days of a baby’s life. The balm helps to cope with irritation caused by diapers and diapers.
It is important to use it for atopic dermatitis, since treatment with corticosteroids negatively affects the condition of the dermis. Lipikar will help restore damaged tissue and reduce the likelihood of relapse.
An improvement in the condition is observed after the first use of the balm. Before use, it is important to test for individual tolerance to the components of the product. To do this, apply a small amount of balm to the elbow or forearm.
If no rash, redness or other negative symptoms develop within several hours, you can safely use Lipikar for treatment.
If an allergic reaction occurs, it is better to stop using the balm and visit a doctor to correct the treatment.
The drug does not cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms. It can be used periodically or only when skin problems occur. For atopic dermatitis or other skin disease, Lipicar should be used regularly.
