La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5

Updated Nov 8, 2026 · Top Face Creams

Best for A damaged barrier, windburn, or dry patches, worn as a thin layer over a lighter cream.

A repair balm, not a daily moisturizer. It is built with panthenol, glycerin, shea butter, and madecassoside, and it is fragrance-free. People use a thin layer on windburn, a broken barrier, or dry corners of the face. In a September 2026 Reddit thread, one person said it hydrates without burning and is too greasy to wear all day. An Accutane user said it improved the look of their skin and then produced closed comedones within a few days. Use it as a spot balm over a lighter cream, or skip it if you clog.
