Reviews For La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Soothing Multi-Purpose Balm
Dense, heavy duty soothing balm
I recently started using tretinoin. To try to prevent irritation and flakes, I've been using this at night, comparing it with a popular drugstore brand of petrolatum-based healing ointment. It is less oily/sticky than the ointment, so I generally prefer it. However, it is still a dense and heavy duty balm that makes it nighttime use only for me, layered over a separate moisturizer. It starts with an opaque white tint that disappears as I press it into the skin (because it's so dense, I blend a dab at my fingertips and press into my skin instead of trying to rub it in). I still have minor flaking that is probably inevitable with tretinoin, but I think this balm has kept my skin from getting red and irritated. When I have episodes of very extremely dry areas at the corners of my mouth and around my nose, I use this and add a layer of the petrolatum-based ointment over it.

Great stuff
I use this stuff after outing my tretinoin on my face and neck, and I wake up without redness or irritated skin, can't be without and it is reasonably priced.

So lovely to use!
This feels like a cream, but moisturises like a balm. I needed something to nourish the particularly dry patches on my face caused by tretinoin, and this does the trick! It glides on and disappears leaving a slightly shiny sheen, so I only use it at night. In all, it’s brilliant!!

Skin saver
This is the best product for skin with compromised moisture barrier. Retin a or other strong treatments can dry you out and cause peeling skin. This will fix it. You can layer it over a moisturizer at night and see better skin in the morning.

Great soothing product
This baume is awesome for soothing dry skin! I decided to order this prior to starting on Tretinoin, and it is really helping with my irritation and redness! I will definitely reorder and use in the winter too, as Nebraska’s winters are rough on skin!

Post Peel
Love this for post peel-treatment. Ultra-rich with Centella Asiatica for healing.

Gentle. Soothing. Solves problems overnight.
This is now my go-to moisturizer when I need some deep hydration. I have super sensitive skin and I wear makeup daily, and this thick balm really soothes angry skin and moisturizes deeply. I use it overnight. It makes my skin so smooth and calm by morning. About once a week I use glycolic acid, let it dry, and I massage this in on top. Skin looks amazing by morning. The texture is very interesting- definitely between a rich moisturizer and a thick balm. Amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic Product
This is a fantastic product to have on-hand. During the fall and winter months, I use this cream as an evening facial moisturizer to help settle skin dryness from using Retin-A cream.

Nice
It is a nice product to have. I did like the original formula better. I think this one is a bit heavier, but you can''t go wrong with La Roche Posay

Very nice
I use this for early cold morning runs under my sunscreen. Not greasy goes on white but absorbs quickly. A little goes a long way, and my skin is extremely dry from retin A. Not expensive either. Very nice would purchase again.

Perfect for Troubled Skin
I have extremely oily, acne prone skin, and it's taken much trial and error to find a daytime moisturizer with sun protection that does not make my acne worse. Even though I have sensitive skin, I tend to react badly to products marketed towards this issue, so it's been a challenge to say the least. I have been using the Cicaplast Baume B5 daily for about a year and a half and will continue to do so as long as they still make it. Pros: Effective physical barrier sun protection Moisturizing Unscented Doubles as a makeup primer Doesn't give me acne! Cons: Thick (if this bothers you, you can mix some facial oil in with it. Sometimes, I mix this with marula oil.) Will leave a white cast if you're not pretty fair Will leave a slight shine if you don't use any powder afterwards Can be hard to get product out when it starts running low Overall, I personally recommend this if you have bad reactions to most moisturizers. It can seem a bit pricey for the size, but using this once daily, it lasts me about 5 months.

This product can do it all and really works. From lips to cuts/scrapes, it heals and moisturizes without hurting sensitive skin. You won't regret buying this.

always prepare this products
Please make sure that you have one B5 balm at home or in your bag. It is so useful! I will feel anxious if the B5 is out of stock

Awesome product
I received a sample of this after ordering other products from LovelySkin. It came in handy when my skin was irritated after using a Retin A cream. It was a life saver! It helped to calm and moisturize my skin. I even used it on my lips, which seem always to be dry! I decided I needed to add this to my beauty bag. It helps serve as a moisturizer yet helps calm redness of my skin when I have a breakout. It also came in handy when I had a laser procedure to help with acne and uneven pigment. I recommend this product to anyone who needs a cream that will moisturize and calm irritated skin! I plan to keep some of this on hand at all times!

La ROCHE -Posey Cicaplast Baume B-5 Soothing Multi-Purpose Balm
I was looking for a heavy cream for not only my neck, but I am an above knee amputee that often gets sores from wearing my prosthesis. So when I saw the word "balm," relief and cooling came to mind. After reading the reviews and the price was reasonable, I ordered the product, and love it. It's thick, but not greasy, and rubs gently absorbing quickly, with no sticky residue. A very pleasant smell tops this product off. P.S. Works great for both neck and amputee sores!

Cicaplast Baume B5 by La Roche-Posay is the BEST
This is like a face chapstick almost that soothes your face without leaving it feeling or looking greasy! It really works wonders with dry and peeling skin on your face! I would have died without this after having a salycic acid facial peel and using prescribed Retin-A to treat Melasma! I love this product so much I ordered for my Aunt!

Good balm
I ordered several of these and like the baume a lot. Very good with dry patches, small injuries with broken skin, etc. It is, as one reviewer said, rather thick, so just rub it in good or wet your hands before using.

Awesome
I received a sample of this and it worked great to immediately soothe a crack I had in my lips. I will definitely purchase this now.
