La Roche-PosayCicaplast Balm B5, Healing Ointment and Soothing Therapeutic Multi Purpose Cream for Dry & Irritated Skin, Body and Hand Balm, Baby Safe, Fragrance Free

I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 for a few months now, and it’s become a holy grail in my skincare routine. I have dry, sensitive skin that often reacts to weather changes or active ingredients, and this balm instantly soothes and repairs any irritation or redness.The texture is rich but not greasy. It absorbs nicely without leaving a heavy film, and it works great under makeup too. I mostly use it at night as the last step in my routine, especially after using acids or retinol. In the morning, my skin feels soft, calm, and hydrated.What I love most is that it contains vitamin B5, madecassoside, and shea butter – all powerful ingredients for healing and restoring the skin barrier. It’s also fragrance-free and safe even for babies, which speaks volumes about how gentle it is.

Never have I written a product review on any skincare products i’ve ever bought, but ciciplast is the one exception. This baume is not only a fantastic moisturizer but works wonders for your skin barrier. I had been suffering from years of barrier damage, it had gotten to the point where putting on basic products would sting, my skin had these persistent breakouts that wouldn’t respond to anything, my skin was flaking and shedding, and my skin barrier just felt weak and thin. I had heard good reviews about ciciplast, and thought “a cream meant for chapped lips, no way” but i proved myself wrong right away, and started seeing results in my dry skin after days off using it. As well as my acne, i’m on medication that can heavily strip my barrier, and makes my barrier very compromised in the sun, and while i was on vacation i got badly burned , and thought my acne would flare up like crazy, but all i used was ciciplast and the sunburns not only calmed down very quickly (sometimes resolving in just hours) but my acne didn’t even flare up like crazy, and keep in mind i had to get off my medication, so it was just ciciplast i was using on my face. And this product is very thick, but not heavyweight, it won’t way your skin down like other moisturizers. A generous application in the morning could last me the entire day, so don’t get discouraged by these little tubes (one of them lasted me around 2-3 months). And also the shine, it can be a problem if you don’t apply it correctly, but when done right on damp skin, and around a pea sized amount, it gives your a great natural looking shine. It’s great on sensitive skin, and my barrier feels the best it’s ever felt, I can’t recommend a product enough, I feel like this is something i could took for hours about, but in short, it’s amazing at what it does, moisturizing skin and barrier repair, and will last you a good while. It’s best used on dry skin, but can work on oily and combination skin too. Amazing for its cost, great at what it does, truly a perfect product, couldn’t recommend more 10/10

This product compares well to more expensive skincare. It was recommended to me after laser treatment on my face and chest and worked very well for soothing, healing and hydrating my skin. I also put it over other more expensive products to seal them in and make the most of them (i.e. slugging). It is quite thick when you apply it, but it smooths out easily and lasts a long time. It is not sticky but does leave a nice sheen on your skin. The only downside I have seen is that if you have a darker complexion, it might leave a bit of a white cast. In my case, it smoothes out my light skin and, surprisingly, evens out my complexion. I love it and have already repurchased it and also bought its "sister" product with the SPF.

La Roche-Posay B5 Balm is a lifesaver for my dry and irritated skin. From the first use, I noticed how well it soothed redness and helped repair my skin barrier. The balm has a rich, creamy texture that feels nourishing without being greasy or heavy.It absorbs nicely and keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day, even in harsh weather. I especially love using it on dry patches, chapped lips, and even minor cuts or scrapes. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and doesn’t cause any breakouts or irritation.What really stands out is the combination of vitamin B5 and madecassoside which work together to calm and heal the skin. This balm has become my go-to product for recovery and daily moisture.If you want a reliable, soothing balm that delivers lasting hydration, La Roche-Posay B5 Balm is definitely worth trying.

I’ve been using La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 for a few months now, and it’s honestly become a staple in my skincare routine. It’s incredibly soothing and helps calm any irritation almost immediately. Whether it’s dryness, redness, or minor blemishes, this balm really speeds up the healing process without feeling heavy or greasy.What I love most is how versatile it is — I use it on dry patches, after treatments like retinol, and even occasionally on my hands when they’re feeling extra sensitive. The texture is rich but absorbs surprisingly well, leaving a comfortable, protective layer. Plus, it never clogs my pores or causes breakouts, which is a huge win for my sensitive skin.Overall, Cicaplast Balm B5 really lives up to its reputation. It feels like a true “rescue” product, and I always make sure I have a tube on hand. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, gentle, and effective skin soother!
