Not very moisturising and it’s also hard to rub in. Leaves a white film behind and is slightly tacky. Not worth the hype, there are much better creams out there.

I received this in one of the Best Beauty Boxes Ever. I recently had a small procedure done to my right hand, so I have been applying this as a hand cream every night.
The Cicaplast Baume B5 comes in a 40ml white tube inside a white cardboard box. The packaging advises that it can be used to heal dry skin irritations, such as “chapping, rough patches…” on the body, face, and lips. It is described on the tube as a “soothing repairing balm” and it contains antibacterial agents. The box has text in several European languages, including braille.
The balm itself is white and it squeezes out of the tube like a cream. The scent is mild. I have found that it moisturises my skin well, and it soaks in quickly.
The one amazing thing about this cream is that it is very shiny. After I have rubbed it onto my hands, they positively gleam like I have put highlighter on them. I think you could even use this as a liquid highlighter on your face if you wanted. I have never used a cream that gleams like this. But it is very good. I definitely recommend this if you are after a healing balm.
40ml tube with a thickish white cream fragrance free product. I used as instructed twice a day. Have found that the product tends to build up or leave a 'film' on the skin. I find their other products to be much nicer and better than this particular cream but it does the job. I have added this to my survival/emergency kit
I love this stuff!! The thick consistency instantly brings moisture back and it is really calming on the skin. Also super affordable highly highly recommend.
I use this at the end of my skincare routine at night after a shower. I have rosacea so a shower will always flare up the red sensitive skin. This acts as a mask it's so thick and cooling. My redness immediately calms. The only thing is I cannot wear in the morning as it has a slight white washout look on my skin. Other than that I absolutely love it for my sensitive skin.
Tips: If used in the AM only do a tiny bit or may wash you out
I got this for my dry skin, but it was way too thick for me. It does however help when I get sunburn or I have retinol dryness. It's very thick but it works well when I need the moisture
This stuff is fantastic for any kind of wound e.g. cuts, scratches or pimples. I find that it's very soothing and perfect for reducing redness and promoting healing. The only downside is that I think it clogs up my skin when I use it too many days in a row (maybe 4 or so?).
Tips: Use for any type of wound but don't use for too many days in a row on the face if you're prone to clogged pores
I love this and it’s a staple in my routine and makeup kit. Works as an occlusive balm when your skin is really dry, on cuts, scratches, breakouts, irritation and dry skin / eczema. It’s my go to for any irritation!
I was super lucky to receive this in a recent BBBE. I had somehow managed to claw my nose in my sleep and had a really noticeable scratch down it, and with a social event 2 days away I thought I wouldn’t be able to hide it. Cue this balm! I applied it in the morning and didn’t notice a lot of difference then I applied it again at night, I woke up the next morning and it was completely healed, like it had just vanished. I was amazed and oh so happy. I don’t think I have ever owned a balm that has healed a cut/graze as quickly as this.
I’m a terrible “pimple popper” spot picker.. I know, I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help myself. So when they are red and horrible looking a dab of this magic cream has them almost gone in 2 days it’s amazing.
The white cream has a thickish consistency like a moisturiser. It has only a very slight scent almost a wee bit sweet. It absorbs into your skin quite easily and doesn’t burn on open wounds. The soft plastic squeeze tube is awesome I can take it with me everywhere.
I honestly couldn’t imagine my life without this magic potion it is seriously that good. I think every first aid kit needs this balm!!
I brought this to help with eczema however it caused the worst flare up I have ever had, my eyes were swollen and dry. I then avoided areas with eczema and applied it where I needed moisture however it didn't help if anything made it worse. I was so disappointed as I heard many good things but it just didn't work for me and my sensitive skin
