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.
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!!
