As we move (quite quickly, it seems) from winter to spring, we might need to check in on our skin and integrate a few healing strategies into our skincare routines. It’s as simple as addressing those irksome little issues so often seen after a long, cold winter: chapped lips, dry cuticles and hangnails, rough skin on your feet, knees, and elbows, and more.
Enter, La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+. This little beauty is a multi-repairing, hydrating balm especially formulated to heal, soothe, and nourish skin that’s in need of some TLC. Fragrance, lanolin, and white-mark free, this skin saviour has so many uses for adults, children, and even babies from 3+ months who are experiencing sensitive or dry skin (or both).
It’s powered by a unique prebiotic complex called Tribioma, which teams up with the antioxidant Madecassoside to support healing as it hydrates, soothes, and de-stresses the complexion. There’s also 5% Panthenol (Vitamin B5), which is known to help support healthy skin and hydration. And, as with all La Roche-Posay formulations, it’s dermatologically-tested, so you’re in safe hands.
Here are four reasons we love it…
Soothes extreme dryness
Skin is typically parched and tight after winter, especially on exposed areas like the face, ears, and hands. Keep a handy Cicaplast Baume B5+ in your bag to target dry-skin patches on the go. And don’t forget your sunscreen on top. UV rays can exacerbate dryness and leave your skin compromised, and even stinging or sore.
At home, we love to use it as a healing overnight mask. After gently cleansing, slather it all over your face and neck, including your ears, the back of your neck, and your decolletage to wake up to refreshed, glowing skin in the morning.
Targets dry, rough patches
Winter’s chill often leads to annoying, dry — and sometimes rough — patches on the body. Think: elbows, knees, ankles, and feet. Simply apply liberally to wherever and whenever you need some TLC.
Redness-prone skin
[H3] Redness-prone skin
Redness can strike at any time of year, but especially when the seasons are changing, and never more so than when winter transitions to spring. The antioxidant Madecassoside in Cicaplast Baume B5+ has a soothing effect that works to calm inflammation while minimising discomfort.
Apply to redness-prone areas regularly, gently patting it in to avoid further irritation. For extra relief, try Cicaplast Mains Hand Cream and Cicaplast Moisturising Lip Balm.
Soothes post-procedure skin
Post-procedure skin can be red, delicate, and sensitive. Cicaplast Baume B5+ is the perfect salve for skin that has undergone minor aesthetic treatments such as IPL, laser, peels, and LED therapy. Its calming, strengthening formula aids healing as it soothes and repairs. For an extra boost of hydration, try Cicaplast B5 Sheet Mask. It’s a deeply soothing home treatment that helps to restore post-procedure skin.
La Roche-Posay has been dedicated to developing products for dry, irritated and sensitive skin since 1975, with minimal ingredients and maximum tolerance always at the core of its formulas. No wonder it’s the No. 1 skincare brand recommended by dermatologists worldwide, with over 90,000 derms in more than 60 countries recommending it.
With daily skin care solutions for all types of skin concerns, each formula is brimming with Thermal Mineral Water from La Roche-Posay. This water is naturally rich in selenium, mineral salts, and trace elements, bringing soothing, antioxidant, and prebiotic benefits to stressed complexions. Consistent use helps to rebalance the skin’s microbiome and reinforce its protective barrier.
