      @@facts4147 people with Rosacea generally cannot handle heavy moisturizers because they will cause us to flush, for example the triple lipkar baum and the original vanicream causes me to flush, due to the heavy mineral oils in there and general oils. Dr. Dray mentioned that because of this people with Rosacea generally tolerate silicones well, so although CicaPlast is a Baume, the skin protectant is silicone based so people with Rosacea tolerate it amazingly.

    This balm helped to calm down my rosacea flare ups! I went through a phase of trying out a bunch of new products, my skin didn't like that at all and was all red & hot. Bought this balm and it calmed the redness down overnight! Used it morning & night for about a week, now I use it every night mixed with a lighter moisturiser (to make it easier to spread). In the morning I use a lightweight gel-like moisturiser + a thin sunscreen (la roche-posay anthelios uvmune invisible fluid). This routine has been working like a charm so far! So I definitely recommend this product for sensitised/sensitive, irritated, rosacea prone skin!

  • @Chrysaetos3
    @Chrysaetos3 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    According to La Roche-Posay's website years ago, Cicaplast was formulated to use after laser treatments, chemical peels and other instances when skin was irritated. That's why I first bought it. They've removed mention of that on their website now, but you can still find it in the product descriptions of other websites where it's sold. My laser technician even started recommending it to her other clients when I showed it to her.
    What really confuses me is using this as an acne treatment. Personally, I break out if I use it too many days in a row and I exclusively use it for irritation or after skin treatments. They came out with a serum formula in a tube some years ago, which I liked better because it didn't break me out like the balm. However, it seems to have been replaced with one in a dropper packaging, which is a real shame. Droppers are just awful.
    As far as formulations go, they're hit-and-miss. When LRP reformulated Effaclar Duo nearly 10 years ago, I had to stop using it. Whereas the old version worked perfectly for me, the new version did nothing. Unfortunately equivalent products from Avene, Bioderma and VIchy never did quite work either. I hope this new Cicaplast version works well.

Application matters, my favorite way to apply is a small amount (pea-size) on damp skin, allow it to absorb (15 minutes) and then apply Retin A - it's made a huge difference.

    I am 75 and started using Tretinoin a few years ago. I have fairly sensitive skin and can only use the Tetinoin 2 times a week so the nights that I use it I also use the Cicaplast-a pretty thick layer and rub it in gently but well. I also use the body lotion in the winter. I really like the Cicaplast-it goes on thick almost like toothpaste but it disappears fairly fast. I have used the Avene cicalfate but do not like it as much-it just feels weird to me.

    I've been using Cicaplast Baume B5 for more than 5 years on my face and it's a life saver! I also incorporated Lipikar Baume АР+M as a body (and sometimes face) moisturizer, it is definitely a must in my routine. Cicaplast Baume B5 has been recently reformulated to Cicaplast Baume B5+, excited to try out the new formula. Also, in my opinion, Avene Cicalfate has a very similar consistency and feel to it as Cicaplast Baume B5. I like both, but prefer the latter due to price per ml.
    I have acne vulgaris, for which I am using tretinoin, if anyone is wondering how it works with acne. No cloged pores, however, if you're prone to milia, avoid it around the eye area. I got one near my lower lash line and switched to a lighter moisturizer for under eye / upper lid skin.

I also have used the Lipikar line of products (especially the AP, AP+M and Triple versions), but have found the Cicaplast more supportive of the unique skin damage and scarring I have. So I can attest to the healing properties in relation to scarring. (Note: La Roche has an acne treatment line that works great too.). I really live by this brand.

Not only is it a God send if you're starting tretinoin, but it's great for skin barrier disruption and irritation. I had my dad put it on a wound he had stitches for and it helped heal the scarring!

Just some off the top of my head from French brands: Avene Cicalfate, Bioderma Cicabio and Uriage Bariederm Cica. They all work nicely if you can't find the LRP version. Or if you find them too heavy, LRP also has a serum version which is quite nice.
