La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Fragrance-Free healing balm for dry, cracked skin — soothing, reparative barrier repair

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 is a fragrance‑free, multi‑purpose balm that soothes, protects and helps repair dry, chafed or cracked skin for adults, children and babies.

Made with Vitamin B5 (panthenol), shea butter, glycerin and Madecassoside (Centella asiatica extract), Cicaplast Balm B5 is formulated to hydrate, calm irritation and reinforce the skin's natural moisture barrier. Its rich but non‑greasy texture is suitable for face, body, hands and lips and has been tested under pediatric control, making it a practical, everyday rescue cream for sensitive or reactive skin exposed to environmental stressors or friction.

How does Cicaplast Balm B5 relieve chafed or cracked skin?

The balm combines reparative and hydrating ingredients to provide immediate comfort and support barrier recovery. Panthenol draws moisture into the skin while shea butter softens and nourishes, and Madecassoside helps calm visible irritation.

• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) for hydration and soothing
• Shea butter to soften and restore suppleness
• Glycerin to attract and hold moisture
• Madecassoside to help reduce redness and discomfort

Can I use this balm on babies and sensitive areas?

Yes — the formula is fragrance‑free, paraben‑free and lanolin‑free, specifically tested for pediatric use and suitable from one week old. It’s ideal for diaper‑area protection and small areas of irritation, while avoiding the eye area ensures comfort.

• Safe for newborns (from 1 week) under pediatric testing
• Seals out moisture to help prevent and soothe diaper rash
• Gentle formulation for sensitive or reactive skin types
• Not intended for direct application to the eye area

What texture and finish should I expect when applying it?

The balm is rich yet absorbs without leaving a heavy, greasy residue, making it suitable for targeted use on dry patches and for daily protection. A small amount spreads easily and forms a temporary protective layer while ingredients work to restore skin comfort.

• Rich, balm texture that spreads smoothly
• Non‑greasy finish suitable for daytime or nighttime use
• Works on face, lips, hands, body and problem spots
• Suitable under clothing or diaper as needed

How should I use Cicaplast Balm B5 in my routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin as often as required — especially after bathing, during flare‑ups of dryness or to protect areas prone to friction. For babies, use at each diaper change to soothe and help prevent chafing; adults can use it on hands, cuticles, cheeks or any rough patch.

• Apply generously to cleansed, dry skin
• Use multiple times daily on irritated or very dry spots
• Ideal after showering, during travel or in harsh weather
• Safe for routine use on the whole family

Who is this for? Cicaplast Balm B5 is for anyone needing reliable, gentle repair and protection: people with sensitive or reactive skin, parents seeking a pediatric‑tested multi‑use ointment, and those who regularly experience localized chafing, chapping or barrier breakdown. It’s a versatile option for everyday wear and targeted rescue care, recommended as a supportive skincare product rather than a medical treatment.
