Why does your skin need extra care after winter?

During the winter, your skin produces less sebum, and the skin barrier is more easily compromised by cold temperatures and dry indoor air. Even as the weather gradually warms up, your skin may still be affected by these factors.

Common skin problems during this time include:

• dry or tight skin

• redness or irritation

• sensitive skin

• a damaged skin barrier

By using products that support and soothe the skin barrier, you help your skin recover and prepare it for the new season.

What is Cicaplast?

La Roche-Posay ’s Cicaplast line is a skin-repairing skincare line specially developed for irritated, dry, or damaged skin.

The products help to:

• soothe

• repair

• protect

They are often used for sensitive skin, but also for skin irritation caused by, for example:

• dryness

• shaving or waxing

• minor cuts

• dermatological treatments such as peels or laser

A well-known product in the line is Cicaplast Baume B5+, a multifunctional balm that helps the skin recover when it is out of balance.

How does Cicaplast work?

Cicaplast supports skin repair in three key ways:

1. Restoration of the skin barrier
   The skin has a natural protective layer that retains moisture and blocks harmful external influences. When this barrier is damaged, the skin can become dry and sensitive. Ingredients in Cicaplast help strengthen this barrier so that the skin becomes healthy and resilient again.

2. Soothing effect
   Many formulas contain panthenol (vitamin B5) and madecassoside, known for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. They help reduce redness, calm irritation, and relieve tightness.

3. Protection and hydration
   Cicaplast forms a protective layer on the skin that helps retain moisture and shields the skin from external factors such as cold, wind, or pollution. Hydrating ingredients like glycerin support this effect.

What can you use Cicaplast for?

Cicaplast is suitable for various skin concerns, including:

• dry, irritated, or sensitive skin

• flaky patches and cracks

• redness and itching

• after hair removal or waxing

• after minor skin damage, laser treatments, or peels

• chapped lips

• dry hands

When should you use Cicaplast?

Use it when your skin is damaged, dry, or irritated, for example after hair removal, minor cuts, laser treatments, or peels, or if your skin feels tight and is red.

Is Cicaplast suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the products are specially formulated for sensitive skin and help soothe irritation.

Can you use Cicaplast every day?

Yes, but only on areas that need extra repair. It is not intended as a regular day cream, but as targeted care for problem areas, or times when your skin needs extra support.

Simple routine with Cicaplast

Step 1: Cleanse gently

Use a gentle cleanser like Cicaplast B5 Cleansing Gel to remove dirt and excess sebum without disrupting the skin barrier.

Step 2: Repair the skin

Step 3: Support skin repair

Use Cicaplast Gel B5 when your skin needs extra repair or when you prefer a lighter texture.
