La Roche Posay Cicaplast Gel B5,40ml

Product Information

However, the Cicaplast Gel B5 wasn’t what I expected it to be, and I didn’t enjoy using this product for several reasons. I typically use the Cicaplast Baume at the last step of my nighttime skincare routine, so I decided to swap it for the Cicaplast Gel to see how it compares. Thankfully, the La Roche Posay Cicaplast Gel is a great alternative, and I’ll share more details about it. It. However, one of the key ingredients missing in the Cicaplast Gel B5 is shea butter, which is present in the Cicaplast Baume B5.

Some of the main ones include softening shea butter, hydrating glycerin, nourishing magnesium, and Madecassoside, which is one of the four main compounds in the plant extract Centella Asiatica, an incredibly soothing and repairing agent that helps strengthen the skin barrier. Since I’ve been using the Cicaplast Baume B5 for over three years at this point, naturally, I was curious about the gel version of my favorite product, and I immediately wanted to try it. Cicaplast B5 SPF50+: which has eight chemical filters, but La Roche Posay claims is not a sun product. Kind of like slugging, but instead of Vaselineor Aquaphor, I use the Cicaplast Baume B5, and my skin looks glowy and feels silky smooth when I wake up in the morning after masking with this product. Ideal for both men and women, this cream can be used to moisturise and soothe all skin types including very dry skin.Additionally, Cicaplast Baume B5 also contains a couple of acne-fighting ingredients, including zinc and panthenol (vitamin B5), which is a soothing and barrier-repairing component that strengthens the skin barrier, helping it fight off pathogens and overgrowth of the acne-causing bacteria. The Cicaplast Baume and Gel are targeted towards different things despite having a similar ingredient list. The former is marketed as a ‘soothing repairing balm’ while the latter is ‘pro-recovery skincare’. About the brand: La Roche-Posay is one of the most dermatologist-recommended skincare brands worldwide.

Shea Butter and Vitamin E are the two primary ingredients removed from the Cicaplast Gel to make a less emollient product. I started using the Cicaplast Baume B5 when my skin was experiencing extreme dehydration, dryness, peeling, and irritation due to starting tretinoin. NB: I can show you how to never have acne again. If you have acne and want it gone, read this message.I’ve used quite a few products from the brand, and while they might not necessarily be revolutionary, they get the job done. It almost reminds me of a lighter, more sophisticated version of Vaseline or Aquaphor or a silicone-based primer, which if you have oily skin, you probably know how badly it exacerbates skin texture besides making your makeup slide off your face. Khi bắt đầu sử dụng, bạn nên patch-test ở một vùng nhỏ, để xem da có bị kích ứng hay ngứa ngát gì không.

Yes, this isn’t a greasy oil or a petroleum-based product, but it does leave the skin very moisturized and glowy, which is why as someone with oily skin, I only use it in the evenings to avoid shine during the day. I have sensitive and combination skin on my face. Because of this, I usually prefer to use lightweight serums and lotions. I typically reach for fragrance-free products specifically designed for sensitive skin, so my go-to brands are CeraVe, La Roche-Posay, and Aveeno. I also prefer a simplistic skincare routine with versatile products, so the fact that the Balm B5 could serve many different purposes was a huge draw for me. Having combination skin means I have to adjust my skincare routine regularly. Some days I might be oily; some days, I might be dry, and vice versa.Due to its consistency, I found the Cicaplast Gel B5 to slide off my skin, and I don’t think that I’m getting any benefits from it. In fact, my skin feels suffocated under it, even though its consistency is much lighter compared to the Cicaplast Baume B5. With the original La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume going viral, I thought I should review the gel version for those it didn’t work for.

On the other hand, the Cicaplast Gel B5 is a light silicone gel that does spread easily and leaves a barrier on the skin to prevent moisture loss, but it also makes my face look and feel extremely oily, and it does nothing to improve the overall appearance of my skin. Well, the Cicaplast Gel B5 has the same silicone-y consistency that, yes, spreads on the skin with ease but also leaves a silicone layer on the surface that makes my skin extremely oily after as little as half an hour after applying it. If you are trying to decide between the two, I would definitely go with the Cicaplast Baume B5 because it’s a much more effective product, in my opinion. If you want to wear it in the morning under makeup, I don’t think you’ll have any problems with piling as it instantly absorbs into the skin. Cicaplast Spray is not my favourite product, but it’s excellent for instantly soothing irritated skin.

So, in conclusion, the Cicaplast Baume B5 is a better product than the Cicaplast Gel B5 because it doesn’t slide off my face, it doesn’t leave an excessively oily residue, and it actually does something to help my skin feel softer and look smoother. However, there are a few key differences between the two, including the ingredients in both products, their consistency, and their performance. Ingredients The first thing I didn’t like about it right off the bat was its consistency. It reminded me of the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, which I have a full review of, but the gist was that it left a very oily finish on my skin that was hard to ignore. It is enriched with the soothing and anti-inflammatory Madecassosideproperties and repairing skin barrier – Panthenol 5%, and anti-bacterial agents.
