A must for those extra dry areas
Being that I use both Retin A and Obagi's Professional C serum, I find that the area around my nose gets overly dry. Even though I use La Roche Posay's Toleraine Riche Moisturizer for very dry skin, this area needs additional care. I layer this balm over my moisturizer and even re-apply through out the day as needed (dry winter months). Highly recommend.

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!

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.

This helps with chapping
This does help with chapped skin, for sure. And it isn't irritating. And it doesn't sting. But if you have chronic eczema, I wouldn't look to it as a curative option, though it can help with the inflammation.

Loved this product
I live in the Southeast. Extreme cold and high indoor heat are not usually too much of a problem. This year has been different. Although my skin tends to be somewhat oily, the combination of heated air and cold temps have really chapped and irritated my face. In addition, I am sensitive to products with added scents. The Cicaplast Baume has soothed and softened my facial skin. Because it doesn't have any added fragrance my skin also didn't become inflamed.

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.

Great Cream for Eczema
I use this cream for eczema patches on my skin. It heals my skin and takes away the itchiness associated with the eczema rash. Love the price even when not on sale. I gave it four stars for the size of the tube. As much as I use it, I wish it came in a bigger tube. Highly recommend.

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.
