alipoid/alipic
Both these answers seem to be synonomous, but I'd go with alipoid.
The accent is missing in your example. It should be alípica, meaning a- lipic or lack of oil (lipid).
Alipoid
Characterised by absence of lipoids.
Origin: g. A-priv. _ lipoides, resembling fat
Some info in Spanish:
SECA ALÍPICA, tiene una falta de secreción sebácea y sudoral pero principalmente falta de grasa, de aspecto seco, opaco y reacciona mal a un exceso de sol, aire o productos agresivos.
PIEL SECA (ALÍPICA Y DESHIDRATADA)
Este tipo de piel se presta ala confusión ya que puede ser seca por falta de sebo (alípica) o bien por pérdida de agua (deshidratada). Estos dos casos existen en personas de piel fina.
La piel seca alípica. La capa córnea es mas gruesa y compacta y la secreción sebácea es menor ya que su glándula es más pequeña, por eso hay una falta de grasa o lípidos.
Info in English:
Alipoid skin refers to dry skin as a result of a lack of oil over the entire body as there are smaller sebaceous glands that are under active. The visible symptoms are reduced elasticity, scaling and roughness. Clients with this condition complain about tightness and itching.

Note from asker:
Thank you! This translation does deal with skincare and cosmetics, so your answer was very helpful and correct. I am missing the accent but cannot do so with this computer unless I'm on Outlook or using Word. |

Gerard Burns Jr.
: Could still be a misspelling, but as Mr. Cutler says, "alípic" exists in Spanish, used in the cosmetics industry rather than medical.
