Cicaplast Balm B5+

One of the best moisturizers they've used on dry skin during tretinoin.

“In my experience, the best ones have been La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+, Avène Cicalfate+, Skinbetter Science Trio, and SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore.”

A user who has repurchased Cicaplast Baume B5 countless times over years loves it and finds other moisturizers overstimulating, but says it is too greasy and shiny for daytime without makeup.

“I’ve been using La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 for years. I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve repurchased it. I love everything about it”

Works for their sensitive skin that reacts to ceramides and cetearyl alcohol.

“try LRP Cicaplast Baume B5-- WITHOUT SPF. Just the regular degular Cicaplast.”

Has helped their sensitive, red, dry skin.

“Have you tried La Roche-Posay Cicaplast or Avene Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream? Both you can find at drug stores or Target and have helped my sensitive red and dry skin.”

Loved it, though they find it expensive.

“I loved la Roche posy cicaplast baume but it's so expensive.”

Owns Cicaplast B5+ but finds it much thicker and harder to spread than their usual tret-night moisturizer.

“I also have Cicaplast B5+, but find it much thicker and harder to spread.”

A dry, sensitive-skinned user has repurchased La Roche-Posay's B5 balm for years: spots heal faster and dry patches are gone, though it can be heavy in summer.

“Personally, La Roche’s B5 balm. It’s been a solid repurchase for a couple of years now. I have dry sensitive skin and it’s been amazing.”

Nothing has worked better for them.

“I use La Roche Posay cicaplast and nothing has ever worked better”

A 42-year-old with dry, sensitive skin tried Cicaplast Balm B5 as a richer daily moisturizer and it broke them out within a week.

“I just tried LRP Cicaplast Baum B5 but it broke me out in under a week.”

Someone with fragrance allergies and acne finds Cicaplast Balm too occlusive for their skin.

“Yes, the Cicaplast balm is too occlusive for me.”

A user says Cicaplast Balm B5+ changed their skin so much, even more than their previous CeraVe combo.

“you should try cicaplast balm B5 it's honestly changed my skin so much and is even better than this combo”

A 20-year-old has used Cicaplast Balm B5+ as their main moisturiser for years because their skin felt dry and irritated without it, but now suspects it was too occlusive for their acne-prone skin.

“For years i’ve used the cicaplast B5 baume as my primary moisturizer”

Their usual last step, but for the past month it hasn't helped their dehydrated, dull skin much.

“i normally use la Roche posay cicaplast balm as last step.sin ce a month I have noticed it's not helping me much.”

Part of the gentle routine that helped their lifelong acne finally improve: Cicaplast Balm B5+ over CeraVe cream at night.

“cicablast balm b5+ after cerave at night”

Loves it among their French pharmacy picks.

“Roche-Posay Circaplast B5+(love!)”

A holy grail for dry skin: lightweight yet heavily moisturizing and helpful for a damaged barrier.

“I just started using and loving La Roche Posay’s Cicaplast Balm - it’s somehow lightweight yet heavily moisturizing”

Thicker than Avène; fills peeling patches so foundation sits well.

“for daytime under makeup the lrp cicaplast baume is way thicker than avene and actually fills in the peeling bits so foundation sits on top instead of clinging to every dry patch.”

Repaired their irritated, flaky barrier within two days.

“Cicaplast - apply it throughout the day ( if you tolerate it well) . It worked wonders for me in 2 days.”

Great for very dry skin, but an old opened tube caused irritation for them and their nephew; they now finish it within months.

“I still use it because it’s really good for my skin when it gets super dry.”

Absolutely incredible and repurchased many times; switching to cheaper Vanicream left their skin dull and less moisturized.

“La roche posay cicaplast B5 moisturizer, absolutely incredible, I have repurchased many times”

A daily go-to they love and have used for about seven years.

“Also love Laroche Posay cicaplast balm I use cerave lotion for my body. Been using all these products for ~7 years now.”

With very sensitive skin, it's one of the few products they repurchase religiously after trying many.

“I religiously buy Vanicream face wash. Prequel Reactive Skin Solutions. Prequel Half and Half Lightweight Moisturizer. LRP Cicaplast Baumé.”

Their favourite barrier cream for normal-to-oily skin.

“My personal favorite is **LRP Cicaplast Baume B5+**, but I have normal-to-oily skin”

Their holy grail for dry, very sensitive skin after years of trying moisturisers and serums.

“I bought **La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5** to treat a skin issue my boyfriend was having. Out of curiosity, I decided to try it on my own face”

Loves it; it saved their cracked, dry hands.

“I also love this cream. Saved my cracked dry hands during pregnancy”

Calmed their oily, acne-prone skin and repaired their barrier, though not always great under makeup.

“Being oily and acne-prone, using it was the start of my adult acne calming down considerably, to the point where it replaced my other moisturisers.”

Bought to soothe their barrier when starting tretinoin, it left them with lasting closed comedones.

“Cicaplast baume b5 for me. It clogged me up so badly I accidentally gave myself an army of closed comedones to deal with to this day.”

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 helped calm their perioral dermatitis along the jawline.

“I used Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizer and La Roche Cicaplast B-5 to help with it.”

Gets their dehydrated barrier back to normal in 2-3 days.

“I use LRP b5 Cicaplast balm. After 2-3 days, it gets back to normal.”

Uses the Cicaplast Balm regularly at times, but it sometimes breaks them out.

“it sometimes breaks me out too and i've sometimes use it regularly”

Is in love with the Cicaplast Balm, which they have used for almost two years.

“(I am in love with cicaplast )”

With a milky toner, it always repairs redness and irritation.

“Thayer’s milky toner is GOAT for me. Cheap, hydrating and feels great on. That plus cicaplast baume always repairs redness and irritation”

Switching to La Roche-Posay Cicaplast while on tretinoin broke them out in dermatitis bumps and peeling.

“I ran out last week and tried to replace it with la Roche cica plast and omg. My skin broke out in dermatitis bumps, was peeling, it was awful.”

Broke them out badly, though it works for many people.

“Cicaplast broke me out bad but seems to work for a lot of people. I use Avene Cicalfate as my everyday nighttime moisturizer”

The balm broke them out and their skin didn't react well to it.

“Cicaplast GEL- not balm, that broke me out and i didnt react well to it”

Sat on their skin without hydrating; their barrier stayed bad.

“I have that cicaplast balm… and came to realize that was the reason my barrier remained terrible…it’s like the balm just sat on my skin, and didn’t actually hydrate it.”

Pressed into pores at night it makes sebaceous filaments less noticeable by morning.

“I've had a lot of success using cicaplast at night. I kind of press it into the pores,rather than just spreading it on. I find that in the morning they are less noticable”

Weekly sleep mask that leaves them with baby-soft skin.

“I always use Cicaplast in my evening routine (once a week) as a sleep mask and wake up to baby soft skin.”

Never dries down on their dry skin; stays oily, so SPF can't go over it.

“Cicaplast never dries down on my dry skin and just stays oily, so it would be impossible for me to apply SPF over it.”

Used it for years, but the new formula gives them painful cystic pimples overnight.

“The new formulation of LRP Cicaplast is unfortunately causing me cystic pimples.”

Pills a lot and doesn't melt into skin the way Cicalfate does.

“LRP pills like crazy on me and I felt like it didn’t melt into my skin the way Avene does”

Since the reformulation it doesn't hydrate them the way it used to.

“I think LRP has change their formula not too long ago and it doesn’t hydrate the same for me.”

Uses it every morning on very dry skin because it absorbs faster.

“In the morning, I use Larose Posey cicaplast because it absorbs faster. I still have to wait a little bit before I layer over my SPF.”

Never burns, unlike the Vanicream facial moisturizer they also use.

“I like the Cicaplast much better because it NEVER burns.”

Layering the Cicaplast Balm over extra moisturizer on their nose, with gentle weekly exfoliation, cleared up the flaky patch in a few weeks.

“I moisturise extra on my nose and then on top I use the cicaplast.”

Everything except Lipikar Baume breaks them out now, including the Cicaplast Balm.

“Everything else breaks me out including the cicaplast. It’s like the topicals replaced my skin with some layer or wax that no longer behaves like real skin. It’s horrible and my derms just kept throwing topicals at me.”

Tried both Avène Cicalfate and the La Roche-Posay balm on mature, sensitive, rosacea-prone skin. Avène moisturised but left them red, while the LRP balm worked wonders and absorbs much faster.

“Avene was good but my skin was still red maybe a little bit inflamed just more moisturized while LRP made wonders and absorbs much faster.”

Loved it for chapped lips until they found Dr. Dan's.

“I loved the cicaplast balm. Until I tried Dr. Dans.”

Caused a bad reaction on their reactive skin.

“my reaction was caused by ciclapast but funnily enough what restored my barrier was using a pea sized amount of cicalfate mixed with purito oat gel moisturizer”

A little on the nose at night keeps their sebaceous filaments almost invisible for 18 months.

“Adding an extra bit of LRP cicaplast onto my nose at the end of my routine made a real difference and my SF have been basically invisible for about 18 months now.”

A life saver during a bad rosacea flare.

“The LRP cicaplast balm is a life saver!!! It feels counterintuitive to slather your irritated skin in this thick balm, but it is so good for the skin barrier.”

Burned and swelled their damaged skin every time.

“My skin hates Cicaplast - I bought it when I ruined my skin barrier and it would burn/swell everytime I put it on, especially near the cheekbones. Tried Cicaflate and it healed the barrier with no issues.”

Sometimes finds plain Vaseline works better for them.

“I actually sometimes think Vaseline is better than Cicaplast for my skin”

Swears by LRP Cicaplast B5 Balm as a spot treatment for really dry patches.

“I also swear by La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 Balm as a spot treatment on really dry patches.”

Their only moisturizer; calmed severe rosacea and flares.

“It's the only moisturizer I use. I used to have terrible rosacea and facial flares but this product helped so much to the point i don't even have rosacea any more.”

Calmed inflamed skin back to baseline in five days and eased their rosacea redness.

“After 5 days I was back to baseline, and my redness has almost completely gone.”

Healed their barrier, damaged by a move to dry, high-altitude Denver, in 14 days of simple use.

“These are my results after just 14 days.”

Good but heavy on their skin, and it must be used within six months.

“The B5 balm is good but it's heavy on my skin and when you open, you have to done within 6 months.”

Loves it but too thick and shiny for daytime.

“I love the LRP Cicaplast but I can only use it at night. Too thick and shiny for me in the AM haha.”

After a year of use, the new boxless tube feels like a different, greasy formula.

“got a new tube that didn't come in a box, which is apparently to save packaging. but it also feels like a formula change. It's greasy, leaves me shiny”

Loves Cicaplast; one of the few from the brand they can use.

“which is a huge bummer for me as someone who loves Cicaplast and would love to try their other stuff if niacinamide didn't break me out.”

The only thing safe when everything else stings and burns.

“La Roche Posay cicaplast balm b5 is the one and only thing safe when everything else stings and burns. I scoured Sephora the other day looking for anything similar and there is nothing.”

Calls it the best barrier repair for any irritation.

“La Roche Posay Cicaplast. That is hands down the best barrier repair solution for any sort of irritation.”

Burned and itched on an irritated barrier, making it worse.

“I had an irritated barrier from an allergic reaction recently, and that stuff burned and itched like crazy and made it worse.”

Uses it every day and can't imagine life without it.

“i use Cicaplast every single day and can't imagine my life without it”

Healed a hot-wax injury cleanly.

“I have to give props to Cicaplast for healing my skin when my hairstylist ripped it with hot wax. It healed it cleanly”

It burned, so they returned it to the store.

“It burned for me. Straight back to ulta.”

Pills constantly even on its own, during tretinoin peeling.

“unfortunately, i freaking hate it. it pills like crazy, even if i don’t apply anything over it”

Part of the night routine with tretinoin that left their pores nearly invisible.

“My pores were exactlyyyy like this and now they are nearly invisible.”

Loves it after tretinoin and on dry winter spots.

“I love cicaplast b5! I use it after tretinoin and lightly spot treat any dry spots in winter.”

Helps their barrier with rosacea.

“I have rosacea so I’m careful about my skin, and La Roche Posay Cicaplast is helpful to help my barrier.”

Loved the old formula, but the new one feels drying.

“The old Cicaplast formula was heavenly, but the new one seems so drying. I prefer the Avene cicalfate now, or the Keihl's barrier repair cream.”

A life-changer in their simple rosacea routine.

“My life changed when I started using the la roche posay cicaplast balm.”

Their holy grail for baby-soft, plump skin; saved their acne-prone skin while travelling.

“lrp cicaplast balm! my holy grail when i want to wake up with baby soft, plump skin.”

Helped Accutane irritation, but can clog pores used daily.

“Cicaplast really helped with the irritation (not everyday cause it can clog your pore)”

Great for calming breakouts as an occlusive layer, but doesn't hydrate on its own.

“On its own it does not hydrate, but boy does it do wonders for calming my breakouts.”

Over tretinoin at night it keeps their skin moisturised and glowing all day.

“I put Avene Cicalfate or LRP Cicapast over my tret at night and my skin is so moisturized and glowy all day”

The only thing that helped after a horrible retinol reaction; a lifesaver.

“the first one is the only thing that helped me after a horrible retinol reaction - it's a lifesaver.”

Loved the old formula on their whole face, but finds the reformulated balm dries skin out and does not work for slugging. Now keeps only a small tube for spot treatment and small closed wounds.

“The LRP cica balm is reformulated and for many people it now dries out their skin. Such a shame because in the past my skin would feel amazing and hydrated after using it all over my face.”

Uses it once or twice a week when their skin is very dry.

“I also like using the La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 or Avene Cicalfate one or twice per week when my skin is really dry.”

Finds the Cicaplast Balm so-so: as an occlusive it does not add moisture to their dry skin.

“Cicaplast is so/so. It's an occlusive so it won't add moisture. You need to put it on TOP of a moisturizer to lock in the moisture.”

Great at soothing irritation, chapping and minor burns.

“It’s great at what it does - soothe irritation. I love it for when around my nose is chapped from tissues.”

Uses the Cicaplast Balm sometimes to support their skin barrier, but it sometimes breaks them out.

“I use LRP double repair and cerave healing ointment and byoma milky toner, and sometimes cicaplast baume(that sometimes breaks me out tho)”

Cicaplast broke them out badly and their dermatologist said it is not formulated for the face.

“Also cicaplast broke me out BAD! My dermatologist said it’s not really formulated to be used on the face and it’s more for cuts/burns/extreme peeling”

Their skin likes the Cicaplast Balm; they prefer greasy, heavy products because they live somewhere very dry and at high altitude.

“My skin likes it, but my skin likes super greasy, super heavy things. Probably because I live in an area with absolutely no humidity and high altitude”

Can't live without it; the best for irritated skin.

“The two LRPs that I love and cannot live without are the B5 Baulm everyone's mentioning (it's the GOAT for irritate skin, or at least up there,)”

Did not like the Cicaplast Balm: it did not do much and was not very soothing or healing for them.

“I didn't like the Cicaplast balm (I don't think it did much and it wasn't very soothing/healing either). I really like the Aestura cream; it's thick and hydrating without feeling heavy.”

Felt and looked great, but caused pimples that left marks.

“The LRP Cicaplast felt and looked SO good on my skin, but it was causing some pretty gnarly pimples that end up leaving PIE marks.”

In colder seasons, the Cicaplast Balm (with Illiyoon Ato cream) did the heavy lifting for their skin barrier.

“Illiyoon Ato Concentrated Cream and LRP Cicaplast did the heavy lifting. Ample:N Ceramide Shot is also amazing bang for your buck and LOADED with barrier ingredients. Maybe a bit much for oily skin, but incredible otherwise.”

Has oily, acne-prone skin and uses the European B5+ formula. Loves it as their one moisturiser: applied thinly, it flattens active pimples overnight, and it never broke them out despite the shea butter.

“I got the B5+ renewal formula (European version with microbiome not american version) and I looooooooove it so much. If I had to choose only one moisturizer I will pick this over and over again.”

Likes it, but it's very heavy, so only for extremely dry days.

“I have the Cicaplast Balm and I like it, it’s very heavy and creamy though, I don’t end up using it unless my face feels extremely dry.”

Has used the Cicaplast Balm and finds it can feel drying and leave white pilling residue unless layered over hydration.

“It’s supposed to be this magical healing balm, but if your skin isn’t prepped right, it can actually feel drier or leave that weird white residue”

Uses both: Avène for travel and the La Roche-Posay balm for general barrier repair over larger areas of the face. It helped a large area damaged by skin cancer treatment.

“It like the Avene for plane travel arc and the LRP for more general skin barrier healing I find LRP better for larger face areas.”

Used Cicaplast religiously and bought it in bulk, until the reformulated version made their eyes swell and their face suddenly sensitive. A last try burned so much they washed it off after an hour, so they stopped using it.

“I didn’t know they reformulated it and my eyes got extremely swollen one night and my face was so sensitive all of a sudden and I was confused”

Has rosacea and sensitive eyes. The balm suits the rest of their face but is very uncomfortable around the eyes.

“I’ve got rosacea and sensitive eyes. La Roche Posay is very uncomfortable around the eyes unfortunately, the rest of my face likes it though.”

Used it on a severe retinol burn: it gave some immediate relief, but the skin was not really healing and the small tube ran out quickly. Avène's cream brought much faster improvement and became their moisturiser.

“While it gave a certain amount of relief immediately after applying, my skin wasn't really getting better using La Roche Posay's balm. Their tiny tube certainly wasn't enough given the circumstances”

On their second tube; it really helped their dry, irritated winter skin, and they also use it under and around the eyes. Probably will skip it in hot, humid months, but are very satisfied and find a little goes a long way.

“I'm in my second tube of the LRP one. I decided to try it when you reviewed it a while back. It really helped my dry, irritated Winter skin.”

Owns both the Avène and La Roche-Posay balms and likes both, but the Avène separates in their cold climate. Will stick with La Roche-Posay, which has helped their rosacea.

“I own both the Avene and LRP and really like both products! I did have that separation problem with Avene. Every time I open the tube water comes out first”

Loves how soothing and healing the Cicaplast Balm is, but finds it too heavy for their acne-prone, combination-oily skin during the day.

“I love how soothing and healing they are, but they feel a bit too heavy on my acne-prone, combo/oily skin, especially during the day.”

Found the Cicaplast Balm too balmy and not really effective on their dry skin.

“Unfortunately have to disagree with La roche posay cicaplast Baum - too balmy and not really effective on dry skin imo!”

One of their easy grabs that always works for barrier repair.

“My easy grabs which always work are Cicaplast B5 Balm and Prequel Utility Gel”

Calls the Cicaplast Balm their favorite heavy moisturizer.

“Cicaplast Balm is my favorite heavy moisturizer.”

Tried the Cicaplast Balm and found it calming but not moisturizing.

“2) I have tried cicaplast balm. It is calming but i didn’t find it moisturizing.”

Stopping the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm (and switching to zinc soap and Avène Cicalfate) cleared about 90% of their long-running chin breakouts.

“I purchased a 2% Zinc soap bar from Amazon and using that with Avene cicaplast and stoping La Roche Posay cicaplast got rid of 90% of the issue.”

The Cicaplast Balm works well on their redness, itching and flaking, but they suspect it is clogging the pores around their nose.

“I’m currently using LRP cicaplast, work well for my redness, itchy, flare, flaky, spot…, but I saw unclogged pores around my nose and I’m suspecting is bcs the LRP cicaplast baume.”

Adores it when their skin reacts.

“I absolutely adore cicablast when my skin is having a reaction.”

The Cicaplast Balm burns their skin; Avène Cicalfate is what works for their irritated areas instead.

“LRP cicaplast burns me too - my holy grail for irritated areas that could work in your case is Avene Cicalfate”

Two weeks in, their face darkened and they regret it.

“I have 2 weeks since i started using the cicaplast baume b5 , of course with an consult from my dermatologist. I regret everything. My face just darkened”

Breaks them out, unlike Avène Cicalfate.

“Avene Cicalfate is always great - LRP Cicaplast breaks me out!”

Their skin doesn't love it, so they rarely use it.

“As far as the Cicaplast balm, I don’t really use it (my skin doesn’t love it)”

With a hydrating serum at night, it made a difference for very dry, sensitive skin.

“I have very dry and sensitive skin and what made a difference for me was 1) hidrating serum plus cicaplast baume at night”

After mixing two products that clashed, it took a week to recover; Cicaplast Baume B5 helped and they plan to add it to their routine.

“La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume b5 really helped and I’m honestly going to add it to my normal routine.”

After 63 uses over 196 days, a dry, sensitive user calls Cicaplast Balm B5+ a holy grail that doesn't break them out.

“i honestly love it, nothing much to add lol. does help with sebaceous filaments, doesn't break me out, is pleasant overall.”

The only night moisturiser they will use.

“you can pry la Roche posay cicaplast baume 5 from my cold dead hands. The only moisturizer I will use at night”

Overrated: it makes their sensitive, eczema-prone skin react.

“Cicaplast is so overrated. It’s like the expensive Weleda skin food - makes my sensitive eczema-prone skin freak out!!”

Daily use gave them closed comedones and breakouts.

“I only used the LRP occasionally because using it everyday gave me closed comedones and eventually broke me out.”

Damaged their normally resilient skin.

“I also damaged my skin and this is the only new thing i've used so it can only be from this”

Tried Cicaplast Balm for the first time and was blown away.

“I tried the cicaplast balm last night and my mind was blown!!”

In dry California, uses Cicaplast Balm at night with Retin-A or whenever skin needs extra care.

“I use the double repair moisturizer daily, triple repair moisturizer in the winter/when i’m dry and the cicaplast balm at night with my retin-a or whenever my skin needs a little extra TLC :)”

Tried the Cicaplast Balm on a compromised barrier and it broke them out and caused bad congestion.

“i tried cicaplast and cicaflate balm but they both broke me out or cause awful congestion :/ so i'm afraid to try anything heavy. i prefer serums.”

Feels drying and very heavy on their skin.

“i've been using cicaplast but to me it's actually drying, very heavy on my skin.”

Their all-time favourite; versatile and a little goes a long way.

“I will stay with the LRP Cicaplast, it is my all time favorite. You can do so much with it.”

Protects their cheeks from harsh weather and dry air that trigger redness.

“My favourite use of Cicaplast baume it is on my cheeks as a protectant against harsh weather/dry indoor air that trigger redness for me.”

Slugs with it after a mask to keep pores clean and small.

“I use tret which is fabulous, but will do a charcoal salicylic mask (the ordinary) and slug the cicaplast after to keep my pores clean and small.”

Healed an AHA chemical burn remarkably fast.

“I just used La Roche Posay’s cicaplast to heal a chemical burn from AHA overuse. That stuff felt like a darn miracle and helped heal me so much faster”

One of only two balms that kept their lips from cracking on Accutane.

“When I was on Accutane last year, Cicaplast balm and Lanolips were the only two lip balls that prevented painfully dry lips.”

Great for barrier repair but not for texture; they prefer Avène Cicalfate.

“It’s not useful for textured skin IMO, but it is great for barrier repair. I prefer Avene Cicalfate.”

Three days healed a barrier they'd struggled with for months.

“After months of attempting to heal my skin barrier and facing constant setbacks, three days of LRP Cicaplast healed it enough that it’s gained some resilience and I can exfoliate.”

The Cicaplast Balm always worked for them until their barrier was so damaged it felt like burning, when it stopped helping.

“I started to use it when Cicaplast actually did not work for me (it always did but once I broke my barrier so much it felt like my skin was burning constantly, Cicaplast did not help).”

Very helpful during retinol burn and eczema flares.

“LRP Cicaplast Baume has been so helpful on top of the moisturizer I'm using.”

Left a small chemical burn under their eye.

“I have a small fluid filled looking chemical burn on my cheek area under my eye from the product.”

Using the Cicaplast Balm morning and night did not help their red, flaky eyelid irritation from tretinoin.

“Nothing I’ve tried has helped, including being vigilant with moisturizing the area multiple times per day as well as using the LRP cicaplast balm every morning and night.”

Their skin heated up and felt burnt after one use.

“I tried the Cicaplast baume yesterday, and then my skin started heating up and feeling hot and burnt.”

Calls the regular Cicaplast Balm B5 one of their favorite skincare products.

“the normal cicaplast b5 baume is one of my favorite skincare products, i’ll definitely be on the lookout for this so i can try it!”

Their face did not like LRP Cicaplast at all.

“Unfortunately the pipette does seem to have PG ;( and my face did not like the cicaplast at all for whatever reason”

Used to get breakouts from the Cicaplast Balm (and a milky toner).

“In my experience, I used to get breakouts with those two products.”

Has personally had breakouts from the Cicaplast Balm when it was new in their routine.

“I have also personally experienced breakouts like this with the cicaplast balm, with this being a new product in your rou”

The Cicaplast Balm breaks them out.

“Cicaplast balm also breaks me out.”

Saved their skin during tretinoin peeling and redness; no breakouts.

“Try the cicaplast! It saved my skin during the tretinoin early days of peeling/redness. You don’t need a lot and I just use on the really irritated areas. And it won’t make you break out.”

Broke them out and didn't help their irritation.

“Unfortunately I did try Cicaplast and it made me break out 🥲 as did the Avène version.”

Spot-treating with it has worked great for their breakout-prone skin.

“I’ve been doing a normal moisturizer and just spot treating in certain areas with the cicaplast which has worked great for me!”

Working great while they peel from retinization.

“im peeling from retinization and the cicaplast balm is working great for me as well!”

Their go-to for recovering after IPL and whenever skin hurts.

“if your skin is hurting, just cicaplast baume 5 is a good way to recover.”

Started slugging with the Cicaplast Balm for dryness after moving to Minnesota and got deep, angry cysts.

“Starting slugging with cicaplast for the dryness and to help repair my skin barrier and I have also been met with deep angry cysts.”

Calls it a miracle for their skin; healed a painful peeling nose and has helped sunburns and burns.

“The cicaplast is a miracle for my skin. It even healed my painful/dry/peeling nose mid-cold and I’ve used it on sunburns and even actual burns.”

Left their very dry skin dry and flaking.

“This happens to me with both the cicaplast and the cicalfate. I gave up, but I wonder what it is.”

Using Cicaplast on a burned barrier, but it doesn't seem moisturizing enough on its own.

“Can I use Cicaplast and Vaseline at the same time? The Cicaplast doesn’t seem moisturizing enough.”

Uses the Cicaplast Balm sparingly over moisturizer where needed; the 40 ml tube is cheap and lasts them a long time.

“I have the 40ml size which is around $19AUD ($13USD) and it lasts me quite a while as I only use a little where needed over my moisturiser.”

Their nightly last step to seal in and calm their skin.

“I and many others swear by cicaplast! It’s my last step every night to seal everything in and keep things calm.”

Healed a retinoid burn very quickly.

“I had a retinoid burn that healed super fast with the cicaplast”

Layered over COSRX Snail 92 cream, their skin was more hydrated and supple overnight.

“I just layered those exact two products (CosRx snail 92 cream and LRP cicaplast baume) last night. My skin is much more hydrated and supple this morning.”

Loves it on their sensitive skin.

“I have sensitive skin and use cicaplast . Love it.”

Uses it as their last step without pilling.

“I use it on my face as the last step! I never had pil”

Pills and never seems to absorb.

“whenever I use this, it’s pilling on my skin and never absorbs it seems”

Never pills or fails to absorb for them.

“I use Cicaplast and never has problems with it pilling or it not absorbing.”

Broke out their oily skin badly.

“Nope, it broke me out so bad as my skin type is oily.”

Used twice daily for cheek redness; very thick and may leave a cast.

“Plus La Roche posay Cicaplast Baumé 5. Twice a day. It’s very thick so you may notice a white cast.”

What helped most after over-exfoliating: calmed redness and sealed moisture.

“When I destroyed my skin barrier by over-exfoliating, what helped me most was La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5. The zinc calmed the redness and it was also heavy enough to act as an occlusive.”

Even it burned their skin after a bad tretinoin burn.

“And almost all my products burned my skin. Even cicaplast.”

It dried out their face, though no hives or allergy.

“I’m here because the balm also dried out my face lol. I didn’t get hives or an allergic reaction.”

With squalane, it lets them use tretinoin almost nightly.

“That plus some squalane oil have been magical as I've been increasing tret nights.”

Works for their very dry skin over a propolis toner.

“I have very dry skin and what works for me currently is a few layers of cosrx full fit propolis synergy toner followed by LRP cicaplast baume”

Every time they put the Cicaplast balm on irritated areas it burns, so they do not use it as a moisturizer.

“I use Vaseline over moisturizer..I have the cicaplast balm b5 as well I do not use it as my moisturizer but everytime I put it on more irritated areas it burns ...the one ur saying I haven’t used”

Destroyed their skin barrier within days of first use.

“I’m late to the Cicaplast party and honestly I wish I didn’t come.”

Loved it and plans to go back to it.

“I have tried Cicaplast and LOVED it, definitely will go back to using it.”

Likes it as an alternative to the Avène XeraCalm cream that broke them out.

“I like LRP Cicaplast or Soon Jung 5x Cica cream as an alternative.”

Dehydrated their very dry, sensitive skin even more.

“Sadly I cant even use LRP cicaplast baume. It dehydrated my skin even more”

Finds LRP Cicaplast better for slugging than as an everyday moisturizer.

“LRP Cicaplast - moreso for slugging than an everyday moisturizer”

Their holy grail: cleared irritated eyelids within days.

“Have you tried LRP cicaplast? It's a HG and keeps saving me. A few weeks ago I also had irritated eyelids and Vaseline made it worse. Switched to LRP and in a few days it was all gone.”

Used the Cicaplast Balm for about a week on very dry, sensitive skin and got deep cystic acne on their cheeks and chin.

“Used the cicaplast for maybe a week, and I got deep cystic acne on my cheeks and chin.”

Uses the Cicaplast Baume B5 and calls it beautiful.

“I also use the LRP Cicaplast Baume B5 and it’s beautiful.”

Calls it their holy grail product.

“this is my holy grail product.”

Years of use as a face moisturiser mixed with CeraVe PM.

“I've been using this as a face moisturizer for years now. I mix equal parts of this with CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion in my hands and massage it in. Love this product.”

Moved from FAB Ultra Repair and CeraVe to Cicaplast Baume and was much happier.

“i used to use those two products you're using and when i moved on to the Cicaplast i was much happier”

Their skin loved the Cicaplast Balm while on Accutane, but now that it is oily again the balm breaks them out, even on their neck and chest.

“When on accutane my skin looooved cicaplast but now that my skin is oily again it breaks me out, I decided to only use it on my neck/ chest but it also gave me pimples.”

Says Cicaplast and snail mucin repaired their badly damaged barrier, though it took months of applying them several times a day.

“My skin barrier was in really bad shape and the lrp cicaplast and snail mucin 92 fixed it but it did take months.”

Their indispensable night cream.

“I use this as my night cream and I love it. I can’t be with out it!”

Not very hydrating on its own, so they layer under it.

“I use the same cicaplast lotion but don't find it very hydrating”

On their third tube with a clear difference on their cheeks.

“I am currently on my third bottle of Cosrx Snail essence and third tube of this La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baum B5 and definitely noticed a difference in my skin specifically my cheeks area”

Loves it; lighter than the thick balm texture they expected.

“I absolutely love this product and was happily suprised that it doesn't have that typical thick baume texture that I was expecting.”

Loves it; the zinc evens their tone.

“I love the lpr cicaplast. I think the zinc helps tone up my face a lot”

Works perfectly over Vanicream; they can't be without it.

“I'm using the Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer with it (I use Vanicream first on damp skin then finish with LRP Cicaplast Baume) and they've been working perfectly together. Can't be without the Cicaplast Baume”

Loves it; it saved their skin barrier.

“I love the LRP baume too! Has saved my skin barrier.”

Found the Cicaplast Balm pills on their face, so they used it up as a hand cream instead, where it left their hands soft.

“LRP cicaplast balm. It pills for me too. Resorted to using it up as a hand cream. My hands are nice and soft!”

The Cicaplast Balm broke out their acne-prone skin.

“I have acne prone skin and the LRP cicaplast has broken me out as well!!”

Amazing night cream; no breakouts in 1-2 years.

“It’s super thick and rich and I can only wear it at night, not under makeup during the day, but it’s amazing. And has not broken me out in the 1-2 years I’ve been using it.”

Tested it for two weeks; its zinc seemed a little drying.

“I did try LRP cicaplast balm but the I think the zinc on it was drying my skin a little bit so, I tested it for one/two weeks”

The Cicaplast Balm gives them whiteheads in certain spots.

“It gives me white heads in certain spots but not others.”

Amazing for redness; thick, may leave a cast on deeper skin tones.

“It has panthenol and zinc as well as silicones and is amazing for redness. It can leave a bit of a white cast unless you're super pale like I am”

The Cicaplast Balm does an excellent job as their night moisturizer and has saved their skin many times on tretinoin.

“I didnt experiment with AB beauty on nighttime moisturizers because Cicaplast was already doing an excellent job. Saved my skin numerous times whenever I got heavy handed with the tretinoin cream.”

Great and soothing for barrier repair, but leaves their skin looking oily.

“They're great and soothing but naturally my skin looks like an oil mess (despite it being a dry desert within)”

Really effective but a little greasy, so they use it mainly at night.

“Cicaplast is really efficient but I found it a little bit greasy (so I use it preferably at night).”

Smoothing, but feels like greasy sunscreen and may break them out.

“Cicaplast is like a greasy sunblock to me actually. Think it breaks me out too. Like yes it does give nice smoothing but it feels suffocatingly oily”

One of their best La Roche-Posay products.

“Best: Cicaplast Baume, Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer SPF”

Got cystic acne within two weeks of spreading the Cicaplast Balm over their whole face at night instead of only on dry spots.

“I hadn't changed anything in my routine besides lathering on the cicaplast baume at night instead of only on my eyes, nose, and chin (dry spots).”

Used Cicaplast for a long time thinking it was as good as it gets, then found Hydro Boost more hydrating.

“for a long time I used Lipikar and Cicaplast thinking “I guess this is as good as it’s gonna get 🤷🏻‍♀️””

Their AM/PM moisturiser on oily, acne-prone skin; with tretinoin it helped immensely, despite a white cast.

“I personally use it as a moisturiser both pm and am with no issue. I have acne mostly on my t-zone and my skin is oily and the combination of tret and the cicaplast have helped immensely.”

The best thing they've found for their mild rosacea.

“This happens for me aswell with Cicaplast Baume 5 - it’s the best thing I have found for my mild rosacea type 1.”

Gave their sensitive skin contact dermatitis.

“i wish cicaplast baume worked for me and my sensitive skin, but it ended up having the opposite effect and gave me contact dermatitis”

Loves the Cicaplast Balm after glycolic exfoliation: one of the best products to calm their oily, acne-prone, rosacea skin.

“I personally love the LRP Cicaplast baume myself - I usually use it after a round of exfoliation with glycolic acid and it's one of the very best products to calm my skin down (oily, acne-prone but with”

The Cicaplast Balm breaks them out like nothing else, even in places they never break out; they call it a good healing balm but an overrated moisturizer.

“This breaks me out like nothing else and I've tried a million products. It even manages to give me acne in places I never break out from anything.”

Uses LRP Cicaplast Baume B5 as the last step and it has worked well for their reactive skin.

“I use La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 as my last step and it’s been working well for me.”

Something in the Cicaplast Balm does not work for their skin; the gel version works better.

“There’s something in the LRP cicaplast that doesn’t work for me either, but the gel version works better.”

Says the Cicaplast Balm works really well for them, so they stick with it.

“LRP Cicaplast Baume works really well for me \~ cannot yay/nay for the others as I stick to what works well for me. YMMV but Cica might not be what you need?”

Obvious results within a week; no more painfully dry skin.

“I saw very obvious results in about a week (both in the way my skin looks and feels, no more painful smiles in the morning from how dry my skin is)”

Restored their moisture barrier in about two weeks of morning and night use.

“I highly recommend cicaplast baume b5 from LRP for this. It helped me get my moisture barrier back in about 2 weeks of applying it morning and night.”

It is one of their favourite products.

“Some of them are my faves too, love the Vanicream cleanser, Eucerin lip balm and Cicaplast.”

Uses Cicaplast on irritated spots and Lipikar as an everyday moisturizer.

“I actually have both of them and will use the cicaplast on any irritated spots, but I use the lipikar every day as my normal moisturizer.”

Calmed their skin after a stinging reaction to actives.

“I used the Avene Thermal Water, LRP Baume B5, and the Avene Cicalfate. My skin is so much more calm now.”

The Cicaplast Balm is the only cream that has not stung their very sensitive skin; nothing else compares.

“It’s the *only* cream I’ve used that didn’t sting when I put it on. I have a ton of other clean and “gentle”/“sensitive skin” moisturizers and nothing compares.”

Found the balm too heavy for their oily skin and didn't love it.

“I've used the Cicaplast Baum but didn't love it because it was a little too much for my oily skin”

Loves the Cicaplast Balm: it healed a family member's scraped face without a scar and clears their baby's diaper rash overnight, though it leaves a white cast as a day cream.

“I love that stuff so much. I was using it as my morning face cream until a friend pointed out it leaves a wicked white cast lol. Yay cicaplast miracle cream!”

Their moisturizer for the cooler seasons.

“I use CeraVe PM in the summer specifically because it's lighter, and LRP Cicaplast Baume B5 in the other seasons.”

Helped their flaky retinol skin.

“La Roche posay cicaplast b5. Gel or Baume it helped with my flakey retinol skin.”

A skin picker who uses the Cicaplast Balm as their go-to on any damage, several times a day, until it heals and fades.

“La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm is my go to for putting on any kind of damage until it’s fully healed and faded. I put it on several times a day until the scab comes off.”

The Cicaplast Balm is the only thing that has helped the flaky skin around their nostrils and the eczema spots on their knuckles, and a little goes a long way.

“The LRP Cicaplast Baume is the only thing I've ever used that helped with the flaky skin I get on and around my nostrils. It also helps with eczematous spots I get on my knuckles in the winter.”

Finds the Cicaplast Balm amazing for flaking from retinol and for chapped winter lips.

“I find the cicaplast amazing for flakes due to retinol and even chapped winter lips. Recently bought the Eucerin Urea Night creme which is similar but has urea, cermaide and squalane in it. For extra slime face.”

The Cicaplast Balm helps them a lot through Chicago winters; they use it at night under CeraVe Healing Ointment.

“My experience with LRP Cicaplast is the same (found it after falling in love with Cicapair but not wanting to keep spending so much). It helps so much, especially in Chicago winters.”

Really helped years of hormonal acne and their very dry skin.

“I came across la roche posays cicaplast baume (not Asian beauty) and it really helped my hormonal acne that I’ve been struggling with for years. I also have very dry skin and it’s helped with it also.”

Works reasonably well mixed with tretinoin as a last layer.

“The LaRoche CicaPlast cream works reasonably well for this purpose”

Good experience; repurchased it several times.

“Personally I had good experience with Cicaplast, repurchased it quite a few times”

Fantastic, but the zinc dries their skin quite a bit.

“I have two bottles of that and it is fantastic however the zinc dries my skin quite a bit.”

Used the Cicaplast Balm on isotretinoin on a dermatologist's advice: highly moisturising, cuts redness overnight, a bit greasy, and no dryness over 2–3 months.

“Its highly moisturising and reduces redness drastically over night. This is what I was told to use by my Dermo whilst on Isotretinoin. It might feel a bit greasy on your face but it does wonders.”
