Cicaplast Balm B5+ — Reddit Reviews
Updated August 22, 2026
Centella and panthenol soothe and repair irritated, compromised skin; too heavy for oily types.
What the community says
Healing balm featuring centella, ceramides, and panthenol supports barrier recovery. It’s a go-to for irritated, sensitive, and dry skin, especially during retinoid use. The richness and occlusiveness aren't ideal for oily or acne-prone skin, so use cautiously or spot-treat.
