La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 UV SPF 50, Vitamin B5 + Shea Butter + Tribioma + Madecassoside + Zinc Oxide Sunscreen, Post Treatment Skin Protectant With SPF, Multi-Purpose Cream For Dry Skin

I started using this during my Accutane course when my skin was constantly dry, tight, and easily irritated. After about a week of daily use in the morning, it helped take the edge off that uncomfortable dryness and made my skin feel a bit more stable throughout the day. Having SPF 50 built in also simplified my routine when my skin was too sensitive for layering multiple products. The texture is thick and balm-like, but it spreads without dragging and leaves a slightly protective layer rather than a greasy feel. It has a mild sunscreen scent and a faint white cast at first, which fades as it absorbs. It feels more like a barrier cream with sun protection than a typical moisturizer. I think it’s a solid option for Accutane users who need moisture plus SPF in one step, but very reactive skin might still sting due to the chemical filters. Patch testing helps. Overall, it’s been a reliable daytime product for keeping dryness manageable.

I have very dry and slightly sensitive skin and I love this. I usually need to layer at least 3 moisturizers to get through the day, but this alone is actually enough. I love that it has sun protection so I don’t have to apply more sunscreen on top. I wear a full face of makeup on top and am thrilled to say I had absolutely no issues with pilling, caking, or patchiness. The finish is quite nice, neither shiny nor matte, just nice and glassy. I have not noticed any white cast, but I have light-medium skin so I don’t usually notice that anyway.

This Cicaplast Balm B5 is a lifesaver for my skin! It works incredibly well for dryness, irritation, and even small skin issues. Whenever my skin feels damaged or sensitive, this helps calm it down very quickly. The texture is rich but not too heavy, and it absorbs nicely without feeling greasy. I use it as the last step in my routine, especially at night, and wake up with softer, healthier-looking skin. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and works great for both face and body. Definitely a must-have product—I keep repurchasing! ✨

I was really happy to learn that cicaplast has a sunscreen version. I used cicaplast balm every day for dry skin, and this is an extra bonus because you don't have to put any sunscreen on over the balm. I love La Roche-Posay's formula. This is one of the best formulas I've ever used for dry skin. It really works and lives up to the hype. Very healing

I have been using this product with dry/dehydrated skin with medication and tretinoin usage. I can feel it moisturizing well. My only issue is it can pill up and leave white on my face.

Excellent product! This balm is very soothing and keeps my skin hydrated all day. It feels gentle, absorbs well, and doesn’t leave my skin greasy. I also love that it has SPF 50 for extra sun protection. My skin feels calmer and healthier since I started using it. Highly recommend!

Cannot say enough good things about this product. Has really repaired my skin barrier and the spf is an added bonus. Some white cast but it fades.

Excellent moisturized and sunscreen combo. My dermatologist recommended it to me, and I’ve been using it for years. The white tint can be rubbed in. Great for sensitive skin and oily skin. Recommend for daily use. Good for under makeup too!
