Our review

A rich, fragrance-free body balm built on shea butter, glycerin and niacinamide – well liked by people with very dry skin, though some find it too heavy for the face.

Packaging and what the product is

Lipikar AP+M (sold in some markets as AP+Max Triple Repair) is a body balm for very dry and atopy-prone skin. The analysed formula comes in a 200 ml bottle with a pump, as shown on the manufacturer’s packshot quoted here.

Ingredient analysis

The formula opens with water, shea butter and glycerin, followed by dimethicone and niacinamide – a classic combination of a humectant, emollients and an occlusive film-former. Rapeseed oil and ceramide NP add lipids of the kind found in the skin barrier, and mannose and Ophiopogon japonicus root extract are the brand’s signature additions; their concentrations are not disclosed.

Emulsifiers (glyceryl stearate, PEG-100 stearate, sorbitan tristearate) and the thickener ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate give the balm its rich texture. There is no parfum on the list.

What to watch out for

No fragrance allergens are listed. The INCI list does not show how much niacinamide or ceramide the product contains, so their position alone says nothing about effectiveness. People with known sensitivities should still check the full list.

What users say

On GoPicky the cream has 4.8/5 from 40 reviews (checked 30 October 2026). Reviewers most often praise how moisturising it is for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin and the lack of scent. Recurring criticisms: it can feel heavy, especially on the face and under make-up, and one reviewer complained that the pump stops dispensing before the bottle is empty.

Who it may suit

People looking for a rich, unscented body balm for dry skin. Those who prefer a light, fast-absorbing lotion may find it too occlusive. For skin conditions such as eczema, follow the advice of a doctor or pharmacist.
