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

skin loving ingredients help repair, sooth skin. Lovely gentle cream
Seems like there is nothing this can’t do. It is super gentle, non irritating, ultra moisturizing, yet not greasy or oily. It absorbs quickly, has no scent, and can be used anywhere on body. Thicker than a lotion, but not as heavy as a cream. It is rich and glides across the skin. A little goes a long way.Like anything, this likely awesome for many but perhaps not for everyone. So I will tell you about my skin: Mid 40s, leans dry, semi sensitive, non acne, clear skin that has rosacea. I get pink skin with redder spotting from visible veins (telangiectasias). While it isn’t going to fix the red, it can and does help with strengthening the skin barrier (this is where a lot of sensitivities and other reactive skin stems from- weakened/damaged skin barrier from mistreatment- sun, exfoliation, oil stripping, etc). I have learned to use gentle products, using products that help add moisture and/or retain moisture. As I learned about skin friendly skin products I would often see reference to La Roche-Posay. I began with using one of the sunscreens, then a face wash, then added in this soothing repairing balm as well as their moisture mask. I have been very pleased with everything I have used by this company so far. Going to try some other goodies soon!I love using it as a face moisturizer– dont need much!! Just add a little to palm of hand, distribute between both hands and pat gently all over face or trouble spots. Or dab on and pat all in. Don’t rub, don’t use a lot (though packaging does say that it can be used in a generous layer. I prefer light layer for my face). As with any skin care, try a patch test and don’t add in a lot of new stuff at once. Go slow! See how something works for you before adding more items or moving on.I HAVE used it on my lips. It is fantastic for super dry cold days, whether inside or out. I spend a lot of time outside in the winter, so I like having some additional moisture treatment at the ready. It isn’t fancy, it isn’t all glossy and pretty.. it is just simply comfort and effectiveness. I love keeping a tube in my pocket or purse for this reason. Also will use it on my hands and massage it into nail area. Given the small sized container, I usually just keep it for face, hands, and elbows.Paraben free, fragrance free.Add me to the long list of fans of this product!

Fixed my stressed out skin barrier!
This is such a godsend for a stressed out skin barrier. Before using I was breaking out all over my forehead and this immediately just helped bring the redness down and soothed it. Quickly heals and calms dry skin.

Sooth that skin barrier
This is my first time trying a “balm.” I have eczema and acne prone skin so I needed something to calm down my face, and lucky this does that. It has a consistency that I’ve never seen before but I love it! You can see in the video it starts out as a white cast but then rubs in really well, leaving a clear shiny layer that isn’t too greasy. It’s important to note that this isn’t lotion and shouldn’t replace your lotion. Instead you should moisturize your face first, let it dry and then seal it in with the cicaplast balm. I also wouldn’t recommend using a TON if you have acne prone skin as it can clog your pores. I think the recommended amount is pea size but I use about 3X that amount for my dry skin. I don’t use it everyday, only on the days where I’m not using actives and want to work on improving my skin barrier. I think the best time to do put it on is at night because it is on the shiner side.Now as much as I love the feel of it on my face… has it REALLY improved my skin barrier? I don’t know… I think it’s more of a short term solution like most skin care products, if you’re having a break out (rash or acne or you’ve just had a facial treatment) then it’s lovely for providing that short term calming effect and removing some of that redness. I also think my skin feels very soft for the next couple hours but that’s about where it ends.

Ho comprato questo prodotto così tante volte che ormai ho perso il conto. Non so come sia possibile ma qualsiasi utilizzo decido di farne questa crema non mi delude mai.Un tempo la utilizzavo come crema idratante per il viso: aiutava molto a combattere i rossori che possono talvolta presentarsi e sentivo la pelle molto compatta e corposa. Ora la utilizzo (magari sbagliando ma su di me funziona) come crema post depilazione e i risultati sono fantastici, la pelle rimane liscia, morbida, senza bollicine o altro.L’ho consigliata a praticamente tutte le persone che conosco.

My skin is extra dry and I love the feeling that this balm gives me. I noticed that the regular b5 balm seems to have a different formulation compared to the one that is called “soothing therapeutic” and so I have specifically bought this one because I love the texture. I like going to bed with the thick layer on top of all my serums and retinol.
