Bariéderm-CICA Cream Cu-Zn — Reddit Reviews
by Uriage
Updated October 6, 2026
Zinc-and-copper barrier cream that rescues irritated, tret-wrecked skin; cloggy for some.
What the community says
A barrier-repair cream built around mineral oil, zinc oxide, panthenol, and glycerin. It fits tret users, rosacea folks, and anyone with raw, flaky, or over-exfoliated skin. The trade-off is the thick, occlusive feel that can clog pores.
What this means for you
What people love
- Barrier-repair workhorse with zinc and copper
- Soothes tret fallout and dermatitis fast
- Locks in moisture for very dry skin
Watch out for
- Thick occlusive layer can clog pores
- Can feel too heavy on acne-prone skin
- Best as a top layer, not a standalone moisturizer
