Common questions

Is La Roche-Posay Lipikar Ap+Max Triple-Action Balm fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does La Roche-Posay Lipikar Ap+Max Triple-Action Balm contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.

Is La Roche-Posay Lipikar Ap+Max Triple-Action Balm safe for fungal acne?

It contains 7 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate, peg-1 stearate, peg-2 methyl glucose sesquistearate); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii butter, brassica campestris seed oil); and 2 more. How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is La Roche-Posay Lipikar Ap+Max Triple-Action Balm suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
