La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 is a dermatologist-tested multi-use ointment formulated with Vitamin B5 (Panthenol), Madecassoside (Centella Asiatica), Glycerin, and Shea Butter. This fragrance-free, paraben-free balm is designed to soothe, hydrate, and reinforce the skin barrier for dry, irritated, and reactive skin.

Key uses: face, body, lips, diaper rash, post-procedure, sensitive skin patches, and general barrier repair. Suitable for adults, children, and babies 1 week and older.

Texture: Non-greasy ointment that seals moisture without heavy occlusion. Rich but absorbs reasonably well for a balm-format product.

Who it's for: Anyone with compromised skin barrier, eczema-prone individuals, post-treatment sensitivity, parents seeking baby-safe soothing balm, and dermatology-recommended everyday use.
