Cicaplast Baume B5+

Looks good 4.6 / 5

A well-supported, fragrance-free repair balm with strong barrier-oriented ingredients and broad use cases for irritated or dry skin. It is most compelling when skin needs protection and recovery, but the richer texture limits its appeal for lighter routines.

How it’s judged

Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.

What it may help with

Hydration i3.8 / 4

Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.

From Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Glycerin, Panthenol, Propanediol

UV protection i3.8 / 4

Whether it provides direct protection against UV radiation.

From Titanium Dioxide

Soothing i3.5 / 4

Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.

From Madecassoside, Panthenol, Tribioma, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Barrier support i3.5 / 4

Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.

From Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Tribioma, Madecassoside, Glycerin

Texture i3.0 / 4

Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.

From Citric Acid, Panthenol, Tribioma, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Things to watch

Photosensitivity i2.5 / 4

Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.

From Citric Acid

Irritation i2.0 / 4

Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.

From Citric Acid, Copper Gluconate

Acne aggravation i1.5 / 4

Whether it may worsen breakouts — clogging pores, feeling heavy on acne-prone skin, or triggering comedones in some users.

From Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Sensitization i1.0 / 4

Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.

From Citric Acid

Eye irritation i1.0 / 4

Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.

From Citric Acid

About this product

A rich repairing balm for irritated or weakened skin on the face and body, designed to soothe, protect, and support barrier recovery. The formula combines panthenol, madecassoside, humectants, and occlusives for strong comfort and moisture retention, but the texture is substantial and may be too heavy for oily or breakout-prone skin.

Good signs
  • Strong barrier-support profile with panthenol, madecassoside, humectants, and occlusives.
  • Fragrance-free and suitable for very sensitive or irritation-prone routines.
  • Good for localized dry patches, post-procedure care, and compromised skin that needs a protective layer.
Watch-outs
  • Rich, occlusive texture may feel greasy or too heavy for some skin types.
  • Multi-ingredient balm format is less elegant under makeup or in hot/humid conditions.
  • Not a lightweight daily moisturizer; better as a repair treatment than an all-purpose face cream.
Best for
  • dry or irritated skin
  • sensitive skin needing barrier support
  • post-procedure recovery
  • localized rough patches
  • face and body use
How to use it
  • Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin.
  • Use as a spot treatment or all-over balm depending on dryness level.
  • Can be layered over a lighter moisturizer when extra occlusion is needed.
  • Avoid applying to broken skin unless a clinician has recommended it.
