Anything remotely comparable to Lipikar AP+M?

Anything remotely comparable to Lipikar AP+M?

Hello guys.
Im really struggling with my very very very dry skin on my legs and body,but specially legs and butt.Strawberry legs too but I can’t do anything about that because I don’t use phys.exfoliation as I have ITp and many tiny petechiae on legs and arms(even my face). They’re tiny little blood dots that are barely visible except from close but like little broken capillaries.

THUS(idk if im using „thus correctly here but damn,let me be),I need something highly moisturising. So far only Lipikar AP+M works and lasts longer than a day. When Im using it regularly,even afterwards my skin will stay soft,unless I stop for a while. It has this slightly stinging feel which I suspect is the Niacinamide,and what seems to be doing the softening work.

I tried:
•Bioderma Atoderm Baume . Very good,but need to use 2x/ day for the same effect.

•Avene Xeracalm.Works as a charm for my kid since she was a baby.Have managed to keep exzema completely away,except for her eczema eyelids,which need me to to reapply Xeracalm daily. However myself,can’t stand that milky smell.Must be the IModula,but smells like warm milk and I can’t,makes me nauseated

•Mixa Panthenol thingy. Wonderful.Same as Bioderma,but I use it sometimes on my face,because my face hates moisturiser but not Mixa. Not enough for the body

Lipikar is perfect BUT there’s so much product left by the end and it’s difficult to get out.Maybe they need a stronger pump or upside down tube idk. Its really annoying and tbh expensive.

What do you know that feels like a little exfoliating (stings) and very moisturising.Idk about fragrance or not

Can someone more versed in science papers explain this,if possible. I read some to see if im just crazy and they mention that this probiotic is good for gut health but im not sure how to sum it up.

I used to take Lactobacillus Gasseri (made my vag smell weird and too wet,gave me pimples,but regular stool movement),and sometimes just a good mix of probiotics,with Gasseri,Rhamnosus,Lactis,Paracesei…

Switched to Lactobacillus Rhamnosus LGG and my skin has never been better.I have read certain studies online after this experience and they confirm my suspicions.(I think they do).

It’s like I finally found a life hack.I don’t even have inactive pimples. I pick a lot on my skin and used to be able to „anger“ (trigger?)some under skin pimples which then became active.I never had many acne or such but my skin was never really clear,except during pregnancy.Now there’s nothing,nowhere.I touch my face and nada. Just an occasion whitehead on my chin during my period,but it feels different.You know that sensation after popping a pimple.Its a tiny bit painful and feels sensitive.Now it doesn’t.I pop it and off the fuck it goes.My face feels different.Skin feels normal.

Idk if any brand works.Probably does,as long as it’s LGG variation . Although..I am starting to worry that taking just one probiotic might be bad for my gut,so I might switch it up.But I think I will be purchasing this one for life.

Adding what I noticed after stopping the other probiotics and starting this one: no more waking up during the night to awful itching on my stomach and breasts. I used to make myself bleed from all the scratching.Maybe a certain strain was causing that

That ships to germany.
Hear me out,nothing works on my scalp anymore and it’s this shitty water.Never had this problem in Austria. The water is so hard and makes my scalp itchy+dandruffey.

I tried Kerastase Symbiose,Vichy dandruff shampoo,whatever there is,I tried it. My last resort I think would be a good shower filter that’s under €200. Don’t make me broke plz. I have googled some but idk if they are any good (Alb,doyoo pure..)Anyone with experience?

My absolute favourite I have are Mixsoon Centella with spf 50 (for work)and Ducray Melascreen(cream version) because it’s also anti spot(I think it has AzA). I use the ducray one when im outside walking.

Some background: need it ONLY for hands and face because the rest of my body is covered. I rarely stay in strong sun because I don’t like the sun.But unfortunately my shifts usually start around noon so there’s 15 minutes that I have to walk in sun and in summer,all my sunscreens get wiped by moustache area sweat and forehead. Im unfortunately very sun sensitive and get weird red spots from it (that usually go away after a few hours).

•combination skin,gets oily in summer. Very fair,little rosey because I had rosacea (don’t seem to have it anymore)

I heard european ones with the encircled „UV“ are safer and better regulated. But my skin didn’t respond well to UVMune from LRP.

Who knows some cosmetically elegant ones like Mixsoon?This one honestly feels like face moisturiser and a lightweight one. But im afraid it won’t be enough and summer is just around the corner. Any recs from dm or similar? Or from a website.Anything sweat proof that doesn’t make me look like a chandelier? I don’t like the glass skin look,doesn’t suit me.
