CICAPLAST BAUME B5 - Multi-Purpose/Soothing Repairing Balm

This really lives up to it’s claims. I use Tretinoin cream,and while I rarely have any irritation from it, when I do, this balm works perfectly to moisturize and diminish dry, peeling, flakey areas. I also had a red, excema-like patch on my middle finger, from my AHA serum getting under one of my rings.

I have extremely oily, breakout prone skin. I bought this to use after peels. My skin likes it so much, I ended up using it every night. I feel like it moisturizes so well that it reduces my over production of oil. I also use it on my toddler when she gets dry patches or rashes on her face and it seems to clear them up over a couple of days.

Honestly a life saver, especially on my face, after getting a sunburn. I use this morning and night after getting a burn to sooth and prevent peeling as it heals.

pricey but good, heals my dermatisis/rosecea dry spots. but beware putting on your face cheeks due to its thick oily nature, creates a lot of pimples on your face

I love the range of la Roche posay,I have never got any irritations from them,They are quite pricey but worth every penny.

I had such high hopes for this but it made my face sting, which is weird because LRP products are for sensitive skin and I've used many without problems. I would've kept it for my hands but I didn't like the weird feeling of the residue. The only place it did any good was my lips, to add a little moisture under my Chapstick, but I ended up returning it.

HG for LIFE.

Itchy isect bites, chemical burns from bad skincare reactions, scrapes, tight/dry skin, and sunburn -- this balm soothes it ALL.
