Cicaplast saves me every winter from rosacea flushes. And I actually like the new version better! It blends out more than the original.
How does it help with rocesea and does this suit on damage skin that is combination skin as well t zone oily rest dry should I try I also have mild rosecea
@@facts4147 it helps a ton with the barrier, which is damaged when you have rosacea. the zinc inside also helps with inflammation, cica calms it down. i use it mainly at nigh so i'm alright with my t zone being oily! and i just put on less when i use it in the am, only when it's very very cold though.
@@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.
All natural mineral sunscreen that's made with Zinc helps rosacea skin as well.
Omg thanks for letting me know that. My boyfriend is white and one of his cheeks is turning pink and I don’t know what to do with that (I am not white 😬)
I have a La Roche (loooove it and the European formula is 100x better) pharmacy at home I am going to tell him to use it.
Thank you.
I’m French and cicaplast is nothing new, it’s fun seeing it go viral now in the US 😂
it’s a really good product and it helped my skin when it was really irritated because of over exfoliation.
It's just been reformulated though, so in a way, it is new!
Am french too, i feel the same, Laroche posay is such a staple here, surprised going viral like this ! and correct me if am wrong they also didnt change the name of that moisturizer i mean last time i went to pharmacy it was still the same name ! so maybe they changed the name only in us ?
Same.
I am Brazilian. Let me tell you the European formulas are 100x better. I always buy tons of products when I go to Europe or Brazil.
I also love some japaneses products.
I avoid using formulas made in the USA(they don’t work on my mix Latina tropical skin )
I wouldn’t say it’s new, anybody who is into skincare probably used this product (I def have), it’s just one of those tic tok trend situations, like the Dior blush, people knows about it for a long time but bc of tiktok it just became viral again.
Same - I’ve been buying it for years (as an American) and I stock up whenever I visit France!
I actually really enjoy that they change the name upon changing the formula because it forces you to recognize that it's a different product.
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!
It saves all our asses there won't be a winter without it.
@@lou9123 for sure! I think I'll be buying it over and over again from now on!
What kind of moisturiser you use ?
I have also dry & redness prblm skin..no moisturiser & cleanser suit me..which cleanser u use..plz tell me..i'm frustrated now..i over exfoliated my skin..now my skin barrier is damaged..plz help me..& avene cicaflate cream don't suit me..avene cicalfate cream dried my skin so much..is lrp cicaplus baume suit me?plz tell
@@user-ip6ro9bm8q I cleanse with vanicream these days, last year it was cerave and aveeno. Aveeno is AMAZING for damaged barrier or very sensitive skin. Cut back all actives, just cleanse/moisturize and use spf EVERY DAY. If you can find aveeno get the cleanser and moisturizer (they have a gel and cream version) and find a sunscreen that doesn't sting.
SO great to see you two again! You've been missed! Thank you for your professionalism and information.
Love your videos by the way! Another off-label Cicaplast hack - I had a procedure last fall and my doc recommended the Cicaplast (which I fell in love with and have been using nightly for about 4 months now). My eyebrows are growing thicker and fuller! It is the same main ingredients as Grande Brow serum,. Just massage the Cicaplast into your brows and viola! Much cheaper brow serum. You're welcome! 🙂
Yeeeessss 🤟
Oooooh! Thanks 🫶🏼
I had a breast reduction last year with a anchor shaped incision and used the Cicaplast B5 Gel for the first month followed by the B5 Balm, I never expected my skin to heal so nicely! Wonderful product! Note: I live in Europe!
did you use the gel and the balm like 5 minutes after or only the gel the first month and after the 1st month the balm ? I want to know for a burn scar
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.
Missed seeing you guys together! You can't fake that chemistry you guys have on camera! 💗💗💗
Which chemistry?!!
@@rightmay1974 You don't think they have good in-person, in camera chemistry? The way they play off each other's energy? Well, perhaps I'm just more perceptive.🤷♀️
Yes. Their bromance is lovely ❤
True 🎉❤😊
@The Teacher Zainab frendships and passion for their work ❤
The new formulation has come out in Canada! It used to have 2% dimethicone and now it has 9%.
I literally think of Cicaplast as the new Polysporin. I treat burns, sun burns, hang nails, cuts, bug bites, cat scratches etc and it relives the pain immediately !
My aunt is undergoing cancer treatment and La Roche Posey as a recommendation from her doctors. It, including the balm, has helped so much!!! Even around her eyes is less irritated…we love that it helps her and is affordable. ❤
Blud it's 30$ for 40 ml
@@IronMan-bo5qyu don’t use a lot it’s gonna last u long
This is better than ANY night time lip mask I have ever tried! Didn’t see that coming, but it was a wonderful surprise. This has saved my skin this winter.
The cicaplast balm and Lipikar Baume are my two favourites product to use when I have an eczema flareup, especially when it's on my face or neck. They are also beautiful to use when I've overdone my vit A derivatives or acids and my skin stings with the application of most skincare products - it loves the both of these. So good for general dry patches as well.
I love this new series! It's very helpful to hear the details of the ingredients and their functions as well as whether claims live up to their hype. I would love to see a video about snail mucin next (cosrx is probably the most well known) since that also has a lot of wild claims
Yes! Please! Snail mucin next!
yes omg!
This product has been amazing for restoring my skin barrier, a helpful redditor recommended it to me when I complained about my skin stinging after using retinol, and I have used it every night ever since. I'm trying the Gel version at the moment, it's nice but the balm is definitely still my preference, thick and moisturizing but not oily and all.
Do you use this the same night you’re using retinol or only for serum night to treat irritated skin? I have red marks from the retinol due to its strength 😅
How did you use it?before or after applying retinol?
@@Pentabacklift I use it as my moisturizer after I apply my retinol! It works like magic, my skin stops stinging and heals overnight.
@@bleachiniac after retinol, as my final moisturizer step before going to sleep.
Hey what cleanser do you use with it please?
So happy to see that you both are obsessed with the Lipikar moisturizer! I'm an aesthetician who SWEARS by it to my dry clients! Love you both and hearing your informed opinions!
what about those of us who can't use niacinamide though? cetaphil also added this and took out vitamin E. why do companies not leave well enough alone?
I recently got a microneedling treatment for the first time and I have very sensitive and dry skin. Your skin gets really red like a sunburn for the first day. I had some of this at home so I put some on top of the moisturizer I was given from the dermatologist and it IMMEDIATELY made the burning go away! So I could see how this would help in so many different treatments, especially in treating burns from radiation. This balm will forever be in my cabinet!!!!
I am obsessed with this balm. I was always scared of shea butter for some reason because of having acne prone skin, but my skin LOVES this. My skin type is dry acne prone and I swear this does help my acne too. If you are oily I’m not sure how you would like it, but I’m obsessed. I wish they made it in a bigger tube! La roche posay has easily become my favorite brand.
Actually there is a big tube of 100ml
Your acne has likely improved because Cicaplast Baume contains Zinc Gluconate! I wish they touched on this and looked at the ingredients list more in the video.
Is this moisturiser remove dryness?i have also dry skin
@@GirlWithAnAddiction1 what does that ingredient do?
Your videos are so refreshing, fun, and full of relevant information that I can't even contain my excitement whenever a notification pops up on my phone! On a side note, will you guys review any product that might not even be available in the States, or should we limit our products (for review) to only the globally recognised brands?
Excellent video, as always. Thank you, Doctors!
Absolutely love this product! I do TCA peels in the winter and the fresh skin is so sensitive to the dry cold weather. After I wash my face, I use one layer of hyaluronic acid and apply this on top. My skin feels nourished and protected without the greasy feeling. I prefer this over petroleum based barrier gels.
I swear by La Roche for my extremely sensitive, dry,eczema prone skin. This balm has been a life saver, however, for a compromised skin barrier, the Epicutis line has been the game changer❤
If you had to choose one Epicutis product what would it be?
Jesus loves you so much more than you think repent and stay blessed❤❤
@@alwaysawomanofGod Repent for having dry skin!?
This is one of the few skincare items I repurchase regularly. I have sensitive skin, and this really helps soothe my skin.
The lipikar balm is hands down the best moisturizer and my skin adores it. I am generally oily with dry cheeks from adapalene and the triple moisture cream is my day to day night cream. My acne cleared SO fast when I started just that moisturizer and another LRP cleanser! I love La Roche Posay SO much. I think their products are incredible and the price point is TOO reasonable. 😂
Yep agree! La roche posay is a brand that I trust and can afford!
I’ll second that! It also says on the back of the bottle that it’s suitable for people who are undergoing cancer treatment I use it on my baby and have done since he was born!! It really saves my skin when I’m using tretinoin!
I can vet for this, I now have completely clear skin after really severe cystic acne with just the lrp hydrating cleanser, adapalene and lipikar cream. I’m obsessed with it, it’s so nourishing.
what exactly was your routine?:)
@@arrydoll2021 what did you particularly use?
As always, you guys are amazing and you bring the new information in very understandable way. Thank you for that!
As a person struggling with rosacea, i'd love if you can review a product linked with rosecea healing!
A big yes from me! It's about the only thing that works for my red, irritated skin and it works fast!
Yes, so worth it! Makes my skin look flawless, plumpy and hydrated since I'm prone to dry.
Cicaplast is my go-to for rosacea flares, especially in winter. Thank you for your thorough review! ✌🏻❤️💪🏻
Love you guys!! Love the guy who does your editing..Its hysterical 😭
I've been using this for years for barrier repair purposes. Especially helpful for around the nose when it's raw from blowing or wiping my nose with a tissue.
That’s exactly why I use it!
For eczema, the Cicaplast Balm is fantastic! I get eczema on my hands and feet and this is the only product that works for me.
Have you tried the one that is made for eczema? Its called "med", its VERY helpful for my rosacea
@@lodixe5947 I should check that one out. it's also made by LRP?
Lucky! It did not work for my eczema on my hands. Wish it did.
This is my goto moisturizer for the winter. It’s absolutely amazing for the dry climate I am in. Little too heavy for the summer, but when I overdo it a little with my tretinoin and get that stinging feeling, this stuff is gold.
I absolutely love this product. If I have an allergy bump or redness on my fair 58 yr old skin, it works like magic overnight. Every once in awhile I put some over my lipikar daily moisturizer all over my face and my skin looks amazing, especially under my eyes. I switched to all La Roche-Posay products, I no longer breakout and my skin looks a lot less blotchy and more dewey. I don't need foundation anymore. I put this on my entire body. Great for sensitive skin.
I can answer that without watching the video…. A big YES from me!!!! ❤
Me too!! This is great stuff
Me tooooo!
Yeap! My sensitive skin loves it ❤
Agree 💯
Helps the redness so much!
I have ezcema and adult acne. I started using this product about two weeks ago on top of my night moisturizer and it’s already made a big difference in calming the irritation from both issues!
Timely video, TY! I love La Roche Posay Lipikar, although it's very heavy, it's helped keep my 55 y.o. skin barrier from becoming raw/irritated in winter. 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 use it in conjunction at night with a double-cleanse (oil cleanser first step, I like Hada Labo Gokujun Cleansing Oil, second step is LRP Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser)
You guys are absolutely awesome, great advice, great chemistry and ohhh so fun! Thank you
I started to use Cicaplast after I destroyed my skin barrier with too much serums, it fixed it in just couple of days. Since that time I use it as moisturiser and I LOVE it. Love the feel of it, consistency, everything. My skin is naturally dry and it can get very dry thru some months as I work outside and this product is a life saver 💙💙💙
I have oily skin and this product is the best moisturizer i've ever used. It is thick but not greasy. It really protects my skin from the environment as my skin gets irritated easily from environmental factors. If I have redness and acne, this product calms and soothes my skin.
Dr. Shah, Dr. Maxfield: always enjoy your content. Thank you so much!
Love this series. I'd be interested to see reviews on IT Cosmetics confidence in a cream, eyebrow/eyelash growth serums, and Fresh rose petal toner, lastly some of the popular wrinkle creams like Murad, Strivectin, and Murad.
Thanks for the info about the Lipikar. I'm currently undergoing radiation. I'm going to ask my radiation oncologist if it's ok for me to incorporate it into my routine. Also, I just gained so much respect for the brand by knowing that they actually put the time and effort into researching safe treatments for cancer patients. That's really awesome
Lipikar is fantastic. I gave it to my elderly mom to use because she has very sensitive skin, and she loves it. You can put it all over your face and body and it’s super thick and hydrating. Another thing to ask your doctor about is a French cream called Biafine (not made by LRP), which was specifically developed to treat radiation burns. (Disclaimer: I am not a dermatologist, just a French skincare enthusiast!)
@@EmilyS1898 Thank you so much for the Biafine recommendation 💕. I will ask about that one as well!
Dear RR: may God bless you and carry you through your treatment, I’ll say a prayer for you now. You cannot go wrong with LaRoche Posay products👍🌸🌸
How did it go for you? 🩷 I hope you recover soon!!! More power to you
@@vaishnavivadlamudi8716 Hi!!! All is well now ☺ God is so good 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I love the Lipikar. It's so mild but extremely hydrating! It's now a staple in my skincare routine and I def recommend it to anyone looking for intense nourishment for their skin. It's AWESOME!!! Sending love and light to you 💖💖
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 have recurrent perioral dermatitis and use Cicaplast as a nighttime moisturizer, since it’s not very cosmetically elegant. It works wonders for my skin. It helps in managing flare ups and keep my face look hydrated.
Which type of skin u have ?
Jesus loves you so much more than you think repent and stay blessed❤❤❤
@@imanearochdi137i think dry
I used this for my son’s nappy rashes when he was a baby, as well as on minor grazes / rashes as he got older. It also saved my mum’s eczema when she had a flare out on her hands. Absolutely love it.
I was using this for my eczema but I switched to Avene Cicalfate at the recommendation of my dermatologist and have gone the winter without flare up for the first time in years. I would love to see you review some of the Avene product line.
My dermatologist also recommended Avene Cicalfate crème in combination with Avene Scar gel, for aftercare. I had a small mole removed from the side of my neck, which received a few stitches. I too, would like to see these products reviewed and compared to La Roche-Posay.
I tried using it for eczema but did not work for me. I will have to check out that Avene Cicalfate
I was recommended to use Avene Cicalfate during my micro needling treatments and it helped me tremendously! I love it and it’s now my go to moisturizer.
For my and my rosacea, Cicalfate works best. I always used the cream, but switched to emulsion recently❤
Yes please, I went with all Avene at the recommendation of my derm and my acne suffering friends. Except for the hydrating La Roche Posay face wash, which is supposedly the best for use with tretinoin. I would live a review of Avene!
I appreciated the little fun fact about the Lipikar lotion. My father is going through chemo and I'm for sure buying it for him.
Lipikar is fantastic. I gave it to my elderly mom who has very sensitive skin and she loves it. You can use it on your face and body and it’s super thick and rich.
Yep. I am using it right now for some retinol irritation on my neck. I buy mine in France; so I have it also with an SPF 50. Thanks for your review.
I suffered during 3 years with awful ( type rosacea ) whitehead acne on my nose. Same pores were constantly infected. My nose looked so red, just a horrible situation. Since I added Cicaplast last November, it is now under control. I use Retinol, I use 2 types of cleansers, Niacinamide, and Azelaic Acid. This product changed my skin barrier so fast.
This is my holy grail product. Saves my dry skin every winter, helps my eczema and is great when your nose is sore during a cold. I actually prefer the newer version.
Love you two together. Luckily my skin doesn’t need this kind of product, but great for those that do.
I use both of these products and I love them. Cicaplast is really good for spot treatment. If I have some problems with my acne I just put it on as a spot treatment before bed time and that is that. I only use La Roche-Posay products. ☺️
I loved it for my babies diaper rashes, when I burned myself with my curling iron, in the winter for my dry cuticles and so much more. I keep it in my medicine cabinet.
Wore it last year on two back to back long flights and my skin was still moisturized. I now wear it on every flight ✈️🌴
I second this! I use it for my face and hands during flights.
I use this product for my dogs paws. Sometimes when they run a lot on a hard surface and their paws can get pretty raw. I spread this on their paws and the healing process is a lot faster than any other product I've used in the past.
I love this so much 😭 I’m happy that it went viral so I get to know it. My skin is not acne prone tho I’m just happy with this moisturizer
Happened upon your channel only recently and subscribed after a few videos. Greatly appreciate how you break down the pros and cons of different skin care and products since I have seen some who focus more on the marketing aspect and hype. I have oily, acne-prone skin and have atrophic scars so I've been looking around for what works. Your videos are giving me fresh insight so thank you!
I don’t like the Cicaplast Balm B5 for all over my face but I use it for dry patches and it’s great for that. Love your videos. Thanks!❤
Me too just use on my cheeks for redness and irritation. If I use it all over my face I feel like my face is suffocating and too occlusive
@@catnip4587I had the same feeling with it but then I tried mixing it with my daily moisturizer and it felt waaay better than just pure cicaplast balm or just my moisturizer
This cream is my holy grail for my 9 month old. It helps so much with his skin and in particular helps when he scratches his face, really seems to help speed up healing.
I absolutely adore this product. It’s so so soothing and moisturising. My skin has improved dramatically and looks calm and rested with a good glow. Fantastic stuff!!
When I'm using a retinol product (Curology) and my skin is irritated, the Cicaplast is the only moisturizer that I can use that soothes my skin. I also use this under my eye and upper lip area, AM/PM after my skin is clean. I LOVE CICAPLAST!
For oily skin and seborrheic dermatitis, I prefer the Cicaplast B5 gel. It was originally made for scars treatment but I think the gel is good for slug.
Why? + is it better than steroid?
Thanks for the test, I wasn't wrong when I just bought Cicablast for some hand wounds.Cicablast really helps with those and is somewhat comfortable. I like how it stays "moist" for a while when you apply a lot, and after a while you can blend it in. My thumb wound where a big chunk of skin tore right away has been healing so fast after I started to apply this to it as soon as the open wound phase was over.
Thanks for the video!
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 have been using this for a long time, but only in winter or if I travel to a dry climate. I use it for slugging. It is effective, inexpensive, and my skin feels amazing in the morning.
Cicaplast genuenly made my post-acne dark spots & scarring go away in a matter of a couple of weeks of consistent use - absolutely love it!
How do you incorporate it in your skin care routine?
@@amaneehmeh8756 kind of how they mention in the video - as a spot treatment, I put it on before bed :)
I use Avene’s Cicalfate cream which works the same way, it’s amazing for my Rosacea and dry skin!!
I’ve been using this for a while now, but only on extremely damaged/dry skin, like when my nose is raw after a cold. It’s a miracle worker for me! Couldn’t wear it as a regular moisturizer though, too heavy!
I'm going to try the cicaplast for my rosacea.
Thank you for a great review! My favorite Docs!!
Love this series! I would love to see your thoughts on cosrx snail mucin products.
I am definitely a fan of La roche posay products but the long overly wordy names and name changes drives me crazy!
I really damaged skin barrier recently, so my skin has been super dehydrated. But I also have combo/oily acne-prone skin. And I just started using this as my last step in my PM routine while trying to heal my skin barrier, and it’s helped me so so much in just 1 week
Are you using the new formula? I’m tryna repair my barrier too but I’m in the UK, I’ve got this product in my room rn but I’m concerned to use it with the new formula
A much needed review.
Absolutely worth the hype. I use it after tca treatment and it speeds up recovery process. Amazing balm!
always great content, and i learn so much from you two. whoever edits the videos never needs to stop 😂 love y’all! ❤
This stuff is getting me threw starting tretinoin without hardly any irritation with slugging... the triple I used nightly.. on the face.
Literally love you two!
This is my daily moisturiser and it has made a huge difference in my skincare~ I use it morning and night and I tell you that is worth all the hype.
I have severe skin damage to my lower legs due to lymphedema and recurring cellulitis infections. It really helps keep my legs moisturized, as well as support the healing of the damaged 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.
I’m in love with this product . Nothing transforms my skin the way this does. A++++ Holy grail and this is coming from someone who has oily skin. At first you think it’s gonna be too thick and greasy but then it absorbs like a dream . Doesn’t leave me feeling greasy at all! Amazing! I can even use this during the day because it absorbs so well. I tried the triple repair on your recommendation and hated it. It didn’t absorb and left me feeling greasy. Team cicaplast balm all the way!
would you be able to do a full video on perioral and periocular dermatitis? Thank you!!! love your videos!
great video as always...hope you talk about cosrx snail mucin as well in this series!
Correct me if i am wrong it also has zinc which is the reason it leaves a white cast at first, also i do have both product i use the lipikar for daily moisturizing and the cicaplaste in the morning cuz i live in a dry cold area and i suffer constantly from wind burns throughout the winter time, this product has been a game changer for me it's as if i have a invisible protective scarf around my face all day long especially early in the morning finally my warmest greetings to you, you've educated me a lot about the skin and how to tackle most of it issues so thnx a lot
After two night on tretinoid, is so great in the morning. We have it with spf in Europe! I don't know there. It moistoriazes and heals, so... What else can you ask for? If you are on retinoids, twice a week is gooood, and looks quite nice too. I love it.
Never saw a channel catch on fire this fast and zoom to this many subscribers in all my years cruising TH-cam! Warranted. Excellent, entertaining, humorous job bringing science and content to us skincare nerds ! Thanks Docs! And yes Cicaplast Balm in rotation for just so many reasons!
I got the SPF 50 version. This stuff is amazing for my skin. I love that it is fragrance free and essential oil free. I tend to react pretty badly to essential oils added to creams. Some say they can not apply around the eyes, I was concerned It would sting but luckily no pain. I haven’t tried the version you’re showing though, just the one with SPF.
Cicaplast is the best cosmetic created. It works for a lot of things
Pleased to see the boys compare the Cicaplast Balm to the Lipikar Balm AP+M since there's so much overlap between them. The Lipikar Balm AP+M is a holy grail for me. It's loaded with skin goodies and has very few questionable ingredients. Plus the clinical studies on cancer patients and prebiotic thermal water are really cutting-edge for a drugstore product. I know people are annoyed by the change in formulation, but the new version is amazing. Think they should do a dedicated video on it honestly.
Love you guys! 😅 I would love a video on the viral Paulas Choice BHA 🙌
Love whenever you mention the product is good for eczema :)
I've just discovered that there is also a gel of this series. This might actually be perfect for acne-prone skin or people on the oilier side who need the repairing and calming agents still. Like me, I have mild rosacea but combination skin and also have some blackheads, sometimes pimples in the T-zone and I think the baume would be too greasy for me.
Have you already tried it??
I have rosacea, and im addicted to the Cicaplast B5 GEL, not the balm, haha. The balm is breaking me out but the gel is so good on my rosacea! I use it at night as a last step, kinda sleeping mask. During the day, the tiniest amount as a serum! The spray is also amazing! They launched a serum B5 but it has alcohol 😭
Is your skin more on the oily side or dry?
@@sendy_wendy i think its "normal"
I used to have really bad hormonal acne and my doctor recommended this (I couldn’t afford any other fancy treatment really). Today I have literally zero scars
My dermatologist prescribed Cicaplast Balm specifically for the areas where I had laser treatment for sun spots. Great product. Worked extremely well. I stopped using it after the healing was complete but after seeing this video, I now have more reasons to keep using it! She also prescribed DS Laboratories Advanced Hyaluronic Booster (10%hyaluronic acid) and I have definitely seen very good results for my skin. However, I've seen your other videos which have indicated that an expensive hyaluronic acid is not necessary. Should I go for a less expensive acid next time?
I don't remember how I found out about this product, but I knew about it before it went mainstream viral! So lucky considering it sells put now. I have normal to oily skin and can get away with it in the winter. To combat the heaviness I take a small amount and rub it in my palms to warm up the product, then pat it in. 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! I love the Cica and the fact that it's in a European product when it's typically Korean.
I'm curious, what makes you think it's typically Korean? I've always seen these cica balms as very European, since they've been around here for well over a decade. 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.
Interesting that it's made it's way into Korean skincare trends. I never knew.
There are lots of famous french 'laboratoires' who started long ago around thermal springs. Later on they got incorporated by multinationals.
@@Chrysaetos3 Cica is also called Tiger Grass or Centella Asiatica, and it's a plant that grows in Asian countries. Asian countries, Korea being one, have used it as a natural remedy for a long time.
cicaplast is the best 15$ I’ve spent in a long time 😂 seriously fixes any irritation/barrier issues I’m having since starting adapalene mid winter 😅
How long have you been on adapalene ?? How is it going ??
@@shawnee.Hi, I've been on adapalene for a couple of months I can help u out w any questions you might have
@@ansyansy3833 aww, thanks! ... I've just been using ceraves retinol serum for a couple months, and only a couple times per week , mostly out of laziness. But my idea was to get my skin familiar with the cerave and then move onto a stronger retinoid.
How do you use the cicaplast? Do you apply it after adapalene ? Or only when you're having irritation?
@@shawnee. I see that's a nice idea to get started, also if you're a beginner you might want to look into "skin cycling" which was popular a while ago to reduce irritation when starting a retinoid
I actually use it after my acne has started healing but is still inflamed and red, just use overnight on specific spots like that and I've found it really reduces the amount of scarring I get when I use it this way. I also apply it when my skin is feeling a bit dry and itchy from all the actives.
It's def not a cream that u can use all over the face, as someone w extremely acne prone skin it broke me out but using it in specific areas works well
haven’t tried these products yet, but i’ve been using the soon jung 2x intense barrier cream and purito cica barrier sleeping pack for my dry skin. depending on my skin and just how i’m feeling, i use either one as a day or night cream especially when my skin is irritated, red, just needs some healing, etc.
omg i was literally searching your page and hour ago to see if you had talked about this!! I have it but I feel like it breaks me out. I’m so glad to see this video,, I feel like I manifested it lol
I can’t function without this balm! I have eczema , psoriasis, rosacea, Vasculitis on my legs. I wish it came in a bigger tube I would pay for that! I’m obsessed with the triple repair lotion. I use it on my face at night. I started Tretinoin .025 back in July and have never had any serious skin barrier problem while using these products.
There is the 100ml tube. Idk where you from, but I bought that one in Paris.
I use this product all the time if I feel that my skin needs some extra TLC after Tretinoin. Especially, during the cold winter months as my skin is more prone to dryness then. Helps my skin recover from retinization.
Very much worth the hype. My face has had some stubborn dry and irritated spots this winter. I tried this, and It calmed it down immediately. 2 days after I started using it, my skin was like brand new
I live in a dry climate and the Lipikar Triple Moisturizer is an absolute must for me.
