Meet La Roche-Posay’s newest ingredient for balanced skin
Your skin’s microbiome isn’t just a collection of bacteria and microbes—it’s an invisible shield that helps protect your overall skin health. When it’s out of balance, your skin barrier can weaken, leaving skin more prone to sensitivity and irritation.
In 2011, La Roche-Posay introduced Cicaplast Balm B5, a multipurpose cream designed to soothe dry, cracked and irritated skin. The range has since expanded to include six specialized barrier-repair solutions for head-to-toe care.
Now, the original Cicaplast Balm B5 has been upgraded with a new patented ingredient: Tribioma. This prebiotic complex of sugars, plant extracts and ferments helps balance and repair compromised skin, working alongside vitamin B5, shea butter and madecassoside for deep hydration and barrier support.
Gentle yet effective, La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5+ Soothing Multi-Purpose Balm is dermatologist-tested, paraben-free, non-comedogenic, allergy-tested and safe for babies as young as one week old. Its semi-occlusive formula protects while letting skin breathe, making it perfect for both all-over moisture and targeted dry spots.
La Roche-Posay's soothing, balanced skin regimen
A simple La Roche-Posay skin care regimen goes a long way for soothing and healing dry, chapped skin while supporting a strong skin barrier.
Step 1: La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
Formulated for normal to dry skin, this mild cream cleanser effectively cleanses while preserving the skin's natural moisture and pH. Featuring prebiotic La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, niacinamide and ceramide-3, it leaves the skin feeling clean, comfortable and hydrated.
Step 2: La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
Proven to help repair the skin's natural protective barrier after one hour and provide hydration for up to 48 hours, this dermatologist-recommended moisturizer is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive. Formulated with ceramide-3, niacinamide, glycerin and La Roche-Posay Prebiotic Thermal Water, this lightweight, fast-absorbing cream instantly soothes the skin.
Step 3: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5+ Soothing Multi-Purpose Balm
Use as an all-over moisturizer and as needed throughout the day to keep patches of dry, irritated skin calm and hydrated.
La Roche-Posay is committed to providing the most effective solutions for sensitive skin, even if that means reformulating a bestseller. After almost 15 years of providing unparalleled comfort and hydration for dry, chapped and chafed skin, Cicaplast Balm B5+ is better than ever thanks to the addition of Tribioma—because a stronger skin barrier translates to healthier skin.
