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

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

The perfect sister product to my prescription grade tretinoin. Especially when first starting, this greatly helped my redness, peeling, and irritation. Super comforting and made my skin less angry. Great value and didn’t feel super heavy on the skin.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5. It’s become one of those products I always keep on hand. My skin gets super dry, especially in the winter, and this stuff brings it back to life almost instantly. It’s thick and soothing without feeling greasy, and it actually works.What I really love is that it’s safe enough to use on my baby, too. I’ve used it on little dry patches, drool rash, even a couple diaper rashes, and it cleared everything up so fast. Plus, no fragrance means no irritation.It’s one of those multi-use products that you can grab for almost anything (dry hands, irritated skin, chapped lips, minor scrapes,etc). Total lifesaver.Highly recommend if you’ve got sensitive skin or just want something reliable that does what it says it will.

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 don’t know how I got by without this. I am over 50 and use Retin-A nightly. A few weeks ago, I got too much sun and my face was more inflamed than usual. I asked Chat-gpt for a product recommendation and it suggested this. Previously, I regularly used Vanicream as a last layer before bed. This has done wonders for my skin. I use it as a moisturizer both AM and PM. My skin is moisturized, not red at all, and my pores even appear smaller. It feels wonderful going on and sinks in pretty quickly. Makes it easy to apply my SPF in the morning as well. My favorite new skin hack. Already purchased a bigger tube because I can’t imagine going back to my old routine. It’s summer and I sweat a lot and I have not found it too greasy at all.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 is a solid barrier-repair balm—great for soothing irritated or compromised skin. It’s thick, fragrance-free, and does a good job sealing in moisture. That said, heads-up for deeper skin tones: it can leave a white or ashy cast, especially when used in the daytime. If you're color-conscious, you might want to stick with it as an evening or spot treatment. 4/5.

I got this balm for my daughter, who has eczema, and it’s honestly been amazing. Her skin gets super dry and irritated, especially on her face, arms and behind her knees, and most creams either don’t help or make her skin sting. But this one? Total lifesaver. It’s super gentle, no fragrance, and really helps calm down the redness and itchiness. It has a thick texture but doesn’t feel heavy or greasy once it’s on. I usually put it on her skin after bath time, and by the next morning, her skin already looks and feels better. Ive only been using them on dry patches on other parts of the body too it’s great for all kinds of sensitive skin issues. Definitely keeping this stocked in our house in hopes of weaning her off steroid creams. A bit pricey but definitely worth it
