I prefer a creamier consistency, but the cream-balm from this series is very dense. The gel is not transparent, slightly creamy. It lasts me for a day, I apply it before bed and it's all good. No need for moisturizing in the morning.
With the start of the pandemic and wearing masks, my dry sensitive skin started deteriorating very quickly. Wearing disposable medical masks specifically led to perioral dermatitis and acute contact allergic cheilitis. My struggle with this skin condition was long and had varying success. Until one dermatologist recommended this gel. I will say right away that I am not a fan of this brand, but using this gel twice a day, my skin, especially my lips, improved to a pre-pandemic state by about 90%. This is such an amazing result that I will continue to purchase this product. I have been using the gel since mid-November 2021.
I received the gel, but haven't used it yet. What saddened me is that the gel was not sealed, which means someone else could have used it or something foreign could have gotten into it.
Recommended by a dermatologist to use after laser removal of spider veins to prevent scarring. Scarring did not occur.
Question to the brand expert:
Please tell me, is it possible to use this gel for irritation after shaving, as there are micro-pores on the skin, and the instructions state that it should not be applied to open wounds?
I applied it on cleansed facial skin and struggled with this gel for half a day, but I constantly wanted to wash it off! Girls, honestly, the skin doesn't breathe, my cheeks are burning! It feels like my pores are clogged. I do not recommend it!
I didn't buy it here, but I don't think there is a difference. And it's very interesting why it says here that it's for cracks and dryness and for children and adults, when personally, when I asked the brand expert about this gel, he assured me that this Cicaplast B5 is used EXCLUSIVELY after cosmetic procedures, like laser or peeling, and in other cases, it is not effective, and for some reason it is not indicated here, but it is written on the La Roche website. Who to believe?! The dermatologist prescribed it for my hands, I had cracks and dryness, but it didn't help at all!!! So, I used a special cream from another brand, which is twice as cheap, and it healed all the cracks, and it's not surprising because La Roche is just an overhyped brand, whose products are not effective, no wonder one of my dermatologists said that it doesn't help at all, and it's better not to waste money on these products, probably not all dermatologists have been bought off yet. Personally, I have used a lot of products from this brand, and none of them had the results that the brand's experts claim. All the reviews are probably paid for. Because even acquaintances who used products from this brand, prescribed by dermatologists, didn't help at all!!! So, I won't be buying any more products from this brand. Because it's a waste of money. Specifically, this gel, which costs more than 300 hryvnias, is not effective.
Silicone-like feeling on the skin, but it takes about 20 minutes to fully absorb. I would rate the results as 5 out of 5. I use it situationally on my hands, face, and lips - it works great on all areas of the skin! I purchased it at the pharmacy.
Great product, tested it in both cold and hot weather, suitable for dry skin and it regenerates very well. Discomfort disappears after application. It perfectly moisturizes until evening. It may leave a shine, but easily fixable with a light veil of powder.
I used the old version of this product before it was updated in its release form. I mainly used it as a help for restoring the skin on my child's face (dry skin). Now that they are in their teenage years, they sometimes get very dry skin in the corners of their nose. We are already using the B5 gel, the only cream that helps maintain the skin in order! Thank you!))
I have been using it for over 10 years, when it was not available for sale in Ukraine, I ordered it from abroad, even though the price was three times more expensive than on this website. It relieves irritation, inflammation (even with skin rashes and other skin problems), moisturizes, and has a healing effect. I use it for my face and basically for any part of the body. The gel-like structure of the cream is very convenient to use, so I highly recommend it!!!!
I use it strictly for moisturizing my lips, not at night or under matte or long-lasting lipstick. I like the product. However, I haven't tried applying it on my face because I have experience with other La Roche creams that cause acne on my face.
I used this product after a failed sugaring on delicate areas and to my pleasant surprise, there were no limits to its effectiveness. It is a super fast-acting remedy, non-sticky, fragrance-free. I recommend it.
