Microbiome science

This gentle moisturising balm has been through rigorous dermatological testing to ensure it is suitable for use on even the most sensitive skin, including on newborn babies from three months onwards.

Minimalist hypoallergenic formula

The minimalist, fragrance-free formula is designed for sensitive skin and its needs. Tested and re-tested for its efficacy and mildness on sensitive skin, the formula is also hypoallergenic.

What do Mumsnet users think?

"The texture is really creamy and thick – really promising and easy to apply."

"My little girl’s eczema is much less noticeable and much less angry. I suffer from very dry skin on my hands and get eczema flare-ups on my fingers. They are much better since I've been putting this cream on my kids and rubbing the leftovers into my hands."

"My youngest doesn't have eczema but developed red dry patches on her cheeks. From the first application there was a real difference. By day four it was hardly noticeable."

"My nine-month-old has atopic eczema and this product has significantly reduced the amount he has."

I'm a bit of a skincare geek when it comes to my own face care and La Roche Posay has always been a trusted brand. I was very impressed with all the good stuff on the ingredients list and it made a massive difference to my son's skin.

I was shocked at the results, and still am, as my daughter hasn't been scratching during the night since using the product.

My son still has frequent itching and his eczema hasn't gone away, but the overall condition of his skin has improved to the point where he doesn't need to scratch as often or as hard.

I love this cream and will continue to use it.
