Cicaplast Balm B5+ — Reddit Reviews
Updated September 8, 2026
Centella and panthenol-rich balm for redness and barrier repair; heavy and pore-clogging for some.
What the community says
A thick barrier balm with soothing panthenol and centella for sensitive, irritated skin. Often used to calm redness and repair compromised barriers. However, oily or acne-prone skin types report breakouts and heaviness, so patch test and limit use if sensitivity occurs.
