La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5+ 1.35 fl oz - 5% Panthenol

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5+ Soothing Therapeutic Multi-Purpose Cream, 1.35 fl oz, is a rich skin barrier balm for dry, cracked, chapped, and irritated areas. The formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, non-comedogenic, and dermatologist tested.

Formula And Skin Uses

The US formula lists dimethicone as the active ingredient. The ingredient list also includes panthenol, shea butter, glycerin, madecassoside, and zinc, manganese, and copper gluconates.

La Roche-Posay identifies vitamin B5, Tribioma, and madecassoside as key dermatological ingredients. The brand says the balm can be used on the face, body, hands, and lips, while advising users to avoid the eye area.

Size And US Price

The travel-size package contains 1.35 fl oz. Target lists the product at $18.99, or $14.07 per fluid ounce, while CVS lists the same size at $18.99.

The larger 3.38-fl-oz size is also sold in the United States. Ulta lists that package at $32.99, separating it from the 1.35-fl-oz travel-size version.

Compared With Similar Balms

Unlike the Cicaplast Balm B5 UV version, this product does not use a sunscreen claim or SPF 50 designation. Its US positioning centers on soothing and protecting dry, cracked, chapped, and chafed skin.

The product also differs from a light facial moisturizer through its balm format and skin-protectant positioning. The formula contains dimethicone, while the brand highlights a semi-occlusive texture designed to help shield irritated areas.

Best Fit And Limits

Cicaplast Balm B5+ fits users seeking a fragrance-free balm for dry or irritated skin on multiple body areas. Its 1.35-fl-oz package suits travel and small-area use, while the 3.38-fl-oz package provides a larger format.

The label and manufacturer information specify avoiding the eye area. The US product information also states that the balm should not be used on broken skin and advises consulting a medical professional before post-procedure use.
