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

I didn't like this at first. Too thick and felt weird.I kept using it to finish the container up. And it grew on me. It soaks in pretty quickly and does infact help repair skin barrier.My skin is softer using this every night as my last step, i know glob quite a bit on to help protect my.akin at night when i sleep.I apply a tiny bit in the morning as last step also just for some added freshness.The consistency is creamy, does leave a greasiness feeling directly after applying but it does soak in within 30 minutes sometimes quicker (depends on how much you put on) doesnt leave a sticky feeling either (again after soaking in)Consider this a high quality item.No fragrance (thank goodness as i dont do well with overly scented items).This is one of my daily items now. Missing a night or 2 is ok. Just makes my face feel supple and soft. I also dont have dry patches around my nose anymore and thats a huge plus for me.

I was recommended this product as a step up from aquaphor to heal a facial wound that was making me very insecure. I applied a small amount at nighttime and by morning I was AMAZED at how much it reduced the redness, hydrated the dry/cracked skin, and overall how quickly it had improved, just overnight. I have now been using it religiously on any area of my face that has discoloration because the ingredients are really beneficial for scarring, hyperpigmentation and boosting the skin’s barrier. The texture is non-greasy (nothing like Vaseline or aquaphor, which I was somewhat expecting based on its comparison), and it hasn’t caused me any irritation, breakouts or other issues.A small amount is all you need. It’s worth the money and has a lot of uses and benefits. It really is a “holy grail”.

I've developed sensitive skin in my 40s. Started getting perioral dermatitis (gah!) a couple of years ago and I wanted to have skincare that doesn't aggravate thar condition. I've stopped using several things and have incorporated several other things: some that don't cause me irritation and some that soothe irritations. This stuff is my go to when I feel like my dermatitis is about to flare up. I can use it under makeup or other actives that might otherwise be irritating.It's pretty mousturizing (not greasy), so it may not work for the super oily folks. It's a thick white paste but doesn't have a white caste like some of the zinc based treatments.I'm now on my 3rd tube. It's a little pricey so I use Triple Ointment (diaper rash cream with zinc) overnight if I need to try to calm a flare up and usually save this for day time.Love it!

These products have single handedly fixed all issues I’ve had with my face. My skin barrier is completely restored, and has never looked better. It’s also been a miracle for sunburn, working better to prevent peeling than any aloe has ever done. It can feel a little greasy, but not sticky, and it’s a little heavy, but when you need heavy repair, it’s a miracle worker, so I’ll take the soothing greasiness any day for results like this :) I use mostly at night since it is heavier and wake up with baby soft skin.

Having a compromised skin barrier on the face is difficult and most occlusive agents break me out terribly. The Cicaplast balm is much more comfortable than petrolatum based products yet still provides the occlusive properties that I am seeking for night time barrier support. A little goes a long way so even though the tube is small I anticipate it lasting quite a while as I only need a pea sized dallop to cover the areas that need treating. I do prefer the Cicaplast spray for daytime use and do use it under the balm just to increase comfort and hydration. Since incorporating the Cicaplast products I have seen much greater levels of hydration over all other prior products and I've tried many. Only 4 stars due to both price and the fact that I still need another product under the balm to aid in comfort and hydration. Would definitely purchase again and only wish that I had tried the Cicaplast products sooner as I would probably have worked through the barrier disruption by now if I had.

The cream is legit both cicaplast and double repair cream are genuine I compared it to the one I gotFrom ulta in person amd it’s the real thing..I take my skincare very seriously and I’m on rx retinoids so I need a good moisturizer and I’ve tried many brand including expensive brands, but la roche always wins it’s not greasy. The key is to start with a small amount because it goes a long way and then you can add another layer if you feel it’s not enough.

I started Accutane and nothing seemed to help the dryness. I randomly picked this up at the pharmacy and it was a game changer! My skin never cracked again!! It doesn't leave a greasy feel on your face like everything else does. It is a bit thick but absorbs fast. It also may seem like a small tube, but I used it twice a day on my entire face. I even cut it open to scoop out anything I couldn't squeeze out, and each tube lasted about 4 weeks. This was my saving grace for the Accutane dryness, do not hesitate to purchase!!!!

This product is my favorite skin care product that I’ve ever purchased. I’ve purchased it countless times and will continue to purchase it again and again and again!! I have combination skin and have always suffered from very dry skin on my face. This product has completely restored my skin barrier and I wear it every night when I go to bed. I recommend it to everyone that I know and everyone that tries it loves it. Kind of a high price tag for a small bottle but well worth it!
