La Roche-Posay's Cicaplast line—its multi-purpose range of barrier restoring skincare products—has been expanded with new Cicaplast Lips Hydration Restore Lip Balm and Cicaplast Gel B5 Skin Protectant.
The lip balm, which has non-greasy texture, contains vitamin B5, sustainably sourced shea butter and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water to restore the hydrolipidic film and help soothe skin.
The skin protectant works to protect and soothe a disrupted skin barrier, and has been tested post-procedure, post-stitches and post-laser so that skin feels comfortable and hydrated. It contains Madecassoside; 5% panthenol; 21% glycerin; a mineral complex of copper, zinc and manganese; hyaluronic acid; and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water.
"Cicaplast Balm B5 and the entire Cicaplast franchise is a staple for me when recommending products for patients who are dealing with severely dry and damaged skin. I'm happy that the brand has expanded its Cicaplast range with Cicaplast Lips Hydration Restore Lip Balm and Cicaplast Gel B5 Skin Protectant to treat lips, face and body," said Angela J. Lamb, MD, associate professor of dermatology and board certified dermatologist, in a statement. "Using the appropriate product for sensitive, chapped and cracked skin, especially post-procedure, stitches or laser is essential to restore the skin barrier and provide relief and hydration."
