The La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 is recommended for people with sensitive or dry skin since it’s great at soothing both conditions, while acne-prone skin users can also use it as an acne scar treatment. But a user found a better hydrating moisturizer from LRP, the Lipikar Baume AP+M, which also comes in a pump bottle.

Consistency - This soothing balm can come in handy for users who aren't fond of thick, creamy skincare but occasionally need extra soothing during skin emergencies. But depending on your skin condition and the purpose of using it, a user recommends using it for 3-5 days only or stopping whenever your skin condition has improved and to avoid applying it on new breakouts and freshly popped pimples.

Purpose - It's no secret that La Roche-Posay is known for having some of the highest-quality skin care you can buy at the drugstore, but this one stands apart from the already-impressive offering. Originally made to soothe and heal very dry skin, it also acts like a direct hit of sunshine that makes the skin look brighter, smoother, and healthier. The non-oily hydrating cream is similar but not as thick as the classic Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. However, it doesn't leave skin greasy or clogged pores like other skin balms.

SPF Version - There's a version with SPF50, which is great but avoids the eye area in the application. It's great for the winter, and the white cast does fade after some time. Also, La Roche Posay is very popular in the Netherlands.

Summary - Overall, Cicaplast uses proven ingredients to soothe irritated skin. However, oily skin types might not like the thicker texture and shiny finish; it's gentle enough for babies and can be used on the face or body.

Overview - A user with a combination of acne and eczema-prone skin finds the zinc in the cream to impart a white cast, and that's thick and greasy, so they only use it at night. Also, the product never causes them a breakout, possibly because of the ingredients anti-bacterial agents and zinc. It's $15 from the chemist warehouse, sometimes $11 on sale, making it affordable, and if it doesn't work for your face, it can be used on the body.

Consistency - It has a rich but easy-to-spread consistency that doesn't feel heavy or thick for dry skin. A user with oily/combo skin has used it every morning and night for several years already, and they claim that it has made a big difference to their skin and gives them a glowy look when topped with sunscreen and blush. However, another user doesn't prefer its thick creamy texture.

Application - Based on recommendations, it can be used in two ways: 1) apply a thick layer over the entire face for 15 to 20 minutes to reduce redness and remove it afterward or 2) apply a thick layer on an acne spot for 15 minutes and remove it afterward. The brand also says it can be used twice daily to reduce dryness. A user recommends only using it a couple of times a week or when the skin is very inflamed, as using it daily will cause breakouts. Another user only applies it as a layer over their moisturizer or in certain areas that need extra care, such as applying it before using an under-eye concealer, blush, or highlighter.

Performance - A user with combo skin that became drier/less oily over the last year and is also suffering from sensitive and acne/CC-prone skin uses the product as their last step every night. They also said that the zinc could build up/accentuate any dry/flaky patches on the face, like a mineral sunscreen can, but it doesn't mean it's drying the skin out. With long-term use, they found it to completely banish any flakiness, prevent dryness from chemical exfoliants, and soothe irritation almost instantly, making it better than Vaseline, which only sits on top of the skin and then rubs off overnight. Overall, Cicaplast Baume is an occlusive that melts into the skin, deeply moisturizing it. It's also cheap, and if you don't like it for your face, it's great for healing cuts/grazes.

Usage - The cicaplast is great for calming irritated skin, and it can be used if you over-exfoliated, used too much tretinoin, get a rash, or are exposed to too much sun, and as an aftercare for peels and micro-needling. Aside from calming the skin, it also helps prevent further irritation. However, its texture and white residue can be a bother, so it's best to use it at night.

Effect - It takes around 10 to 20 seconds of working for it to disappear into the skin, and it will disappear without a trace.

Eye Irritation - A user finds it to cause their eyes to be glossy and watery, generally irritated all day, even if they avoid the eye area.

Film - Finish - It leaves a slight film on the skin, which is expected from a barrier repair cream, and considering how hydrating it is because that layer locks everything in to minimize water loss throughout the day. Visually, it's a lot of initial shine with a slight white cast though the white cast goes away after a bit as the skin feels soft and soothed.

Greasy - A user finds it greasy that it made their dehydration-prone oily skin feel drier when they applied it with the intention of barrier repair after overdoing it with hot showers and actives. They also think that the zinc is drying as they experienced the same thing with Avene Cicalfate and zinc sunscreens; thus, they prefer the Bioderma Cicabio Pommade, which doesn't have zinc, though still greasy, but less than Avene and LRP healing ointments. Another user who finds it greasy prefers the Avene Cicalfate though both are quite thick. A user with oily-dehydrated and acne-prone skin uses it at night over their moisturizer to lock everything in and hasn't broken out from using it.

Hydration - A user finds it to hydrate and is completely absorbed by their skin. Another user claimed it gave instant soothing and calm, and for about 12 hours, they felt their skin to be more hydrated and healthier, and the barrier repaired. It can also produce results after 2-3 applications.

Irritated Skin - Some users find it effective in soothing their irritated skin, as it helps with post-laser hair removal, burnt areas, and chaffed areas. However, a user claimed it to not soothe their irritated skin and was too thick to rub on their skin and found the gel version to work better for them.

Redness - Some users find it to work well for skin redness but not as moisturizing as one user was left with dull skin. However, it did help them when their skin was adjusting to tret with no redness or peeling, while one user combined it with Cerave for cleansing and differing for bumps when they had bad skin irritation, which helped them with the flare. However, one user found the product overhyped and claimed that people don't realize that it has a white cast; thus, they think it's instantly improving their complexion.

Alternative & Competition

Competition - It's way better than its competitors as it sinks in better, works quicker, and overall the formulation and ingredients used are much better than some of their competitors.

Illyoon Ceramide ATO Concentrate Cream - It's not bad if you're looking for something simple, but it's recommended for winter and light layering over a lighter moisturizer though it feels heavy when put on, so it isn't for everyone. An alternative is the Illyoon Ceramide ATO Concentrate Cream, which is lighter but still moisturizing.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume vs Avene - A user alternates between the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume and Avene Cicalfate as they are almost similar products that save the user's sensitive skin when in need.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume vs Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Moisturizing Cream - It has a light, almost fluffy texture that feels comfortable on the skin, and it features colloidal oatmeal for its skin-soothing benefits. Still, the Cicaplast seems to be more effective overall.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume vs Gel - Both come in a 40mL size, but the gel retails for $20, while the balm for $15. It has similar ingredients but seems to have different uses and purposes. Regarding acnegenic ingredients, the gel only has 1, dimethicone, while the balm has hydrogenated polyisobutene, dimethicone, and shea butter. In terms of alcohol, both are free from denatured alcohol and fragrance. In terms of texture, the gel has a gel texture that feels smooth and nicer, especially for those with oily skin, as it becomes quite invisible after application. In contrast, when smoothed into the skin, the balm takes a while to absorb and is noticeable with a white cast. Performance-wise, the gel locks water in well, leaves a dewy finish, is more useful for dry spot patches and spot-treating acne, and is overall better for sealing in other products as the last step in the routine. However, it feels less hydrating, while the balm seems more soothing and calming for the skin. Combined, they complement each other well because the gel can be applied over the balm to help seal it and work better.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume vs Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream - The Klairs is not very moisturizing when used alone though oily skin may prefer the finish, while the Cicaplast Baume B5 has nice soothing ingredients but also features several essential oils.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume vs LRP Double Repair - The Cicaplast is a better option for sensitive/irritated skin than the LRP Double Repair Moisturizer because it helps with the skin's healing process and contains no irritants and a good amount of skin-soothing and repairing ingredients.
