La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm Vitamin B5 Soothing Therapeutic Cream for Dry & Irritated Skin: Moisturizing, Paraben-Free, Travel-Friendly 1.35oz

A: Hello JaneGenie! Cicaplast Baume B5 is an excellent choice for soothing dry, irritated patches and supporting the skin's natural recovery process. Its rich formula, containing 5% Panthenol and Madecassoside, is specifically designed to provide a protective barrier and provide intense hydration to localized areas of skin discomfort. While this balm is ideal for nourishing and protecting the skin barrier, a spot that persistently changes color, dries, and peels requires professional attention. We strongly recommend consulting with a dermatologist to have this specific area evaluated, as recurring changes in skin texture and pigmentation should always be examined by a medical expert to ensure proper care. In the meantime, you can apply a small amount of the balm to keep the area moisturized and protected from environmental aggressors. It is also helpful to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as protecting the area from UV rays will prevent further irritation and help maintain the integrity of the skin while it heals.

A: Hey Jane, Great question! The La Roche Posay Ciacaplast Balm can help protect and relieve cracked, chapped, and chafed skin. We also recommend to apply SPF daily to help protect your skin.

A: Have you shown this to your doctor/dermatologist? I had a spot similar to what you described, for 5+ yrs. It was hidden by my hairline but I finally said something. Ended up being pre-cancerous. They froze it off, easy and pain free. There area is now lighter than the rest of my skin but better than the bump, scab, bleed, repeat cycle. I have had 2 others removed since. (Former lifeguard/swim instructor). Not trying to alarm you in anyway. Just sharing in case it helps.

A: You should see a dermatologist, this can be something more serious

A: Hello Mary Ellen! We understand you're curious about the difference between Cicaplast Balm B5 and Cicaplast Balm B5+. It's a great question, as our product formulations can evolve to offer even more benefits. Cicaplast Balm B5+ is indeed an updated version of the original Cicaplast Balm B5. The "+" in its name signifies an enhanced formula. While both balms are celebrated for their soothing and repairing properties, the B5+ version features our exclusive Tribioma prebiotic complex. This new addition is designed to rebalance the skin's microbiome, further supporting the skin's natural recovery process and helping to reinforce its barrier function. It aims to provide even better soothing and a more optimal environment for skin repair. So, while they share the core benefits you love, Cicaplast Balm B5+ represents an advancement in our formulation, offering a more comprehensive approach to skin repair and soothing for dry and irritated skin.

A: They have the exact same ingredients. I don't understand how the company can say they are different.

A: Hello William! Thank you for asking about our Cicaplast Balm and its use for scars. While not a dedicated scar treatment, Cicaplast Balm B5 is formulated to soothe, protect, and repair irritated skin. Its ingredients, like Panthenol and Madecassoside, create an optimal environment for skin recovery. This means it can help improve the appearance of new, superficial marks as they heal by supporting the skin's natural repair process. For established or deep scars, dedicated scar treatments might be more suitable.

A: Hello there! While Cicaplast Balm B5 is generally very well-tolerated, we always recommend consulting with a pediatrician or dermatologist before using any skincare product on a child under 13, especially if they have any underlying skin conditions. Cicaplast Balm B5 is formulated to soothe and protect irritated skin and is suitable for use on both the face and body. It's often used for minor cuts, scrapes, burns, and dry skin. However, a healthcare professional can best assess your child's individual skin needs and recommend the most appropriate course of action.

A: Hello Lily! Cicaplast Balm B5 is excellent for soothing and protecting irritated, dry skin, and it can be very helpful in relieving the discomfort associated with peeling skin. It creates a protective barrier that helps the skin repair itself and retain moisture, which can reduce the appearance of peeling. However, it's important to understand that it won't necessarily eliminate the underlying cause of the peeling. Peeling skin can result from various factors, including sunburn, certain skin conditions (like eczema or psoriasis), allergic reactions, or even some skincare products. If your peeling is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms like itching, redness, or pain, it's important to consult a dermatologist to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment. They can advise on the best approach for your specific situation and may recommend additional treatments alongside Cicaplast Balm B5. While Cicaplast Balm B5 can help soothe and protect your skin while it heals, it's essential to address the root cause of the peeling for long-term relief.

A: If you have normal to dry to sensitive skin this is a great product in the evenings to repair your skin barrier and leave your skin calm nurished and happy. If you have normal to oily to acne prone skin I would be mindful to not cover those spots while you have an active breakout until it is in its healing stage so you don't risk clogging those pores or trapping in harmful bacteria, potentially making the situation worse.

A: It depends on your skin. It’s a very thick, deeply moisturizing product. I don’t use it during the day because it would feel like too much on my skin. I use it sparingly , at night in winter or when my face is very dry. It’s more like a thick mask. It generally works best if you use it to seal in moisture, after a shower or at night where it has time to saturate.

A: Hello R, Thank you for your interest in La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm Vitamin B5 Soothing Therapeutic Cream for Dry Skin and Irritated Skin - 1.35oz. This Soothing cream may be used on the body as well as the face, however we do not recommend using directly on the eyelids as we have not tested this product on that area. Skin around the eye area including the eyelids tends to be thinner than on other parts of the face and body. We would recommend using our Hydraphase Intense Hyaluronic Acid Eye Cream. This hyaluronic acid eye cream moisturizes immediately and provides long-lasting hydration. Visibly diminishes the look of under-eye bags and puffiness. We hope you will give this product a try soon. Thank you for reaching out to La Roche Posay!
