80% of dermatologists consult patients for damaged or injured skin often or very often. As a trusted source for sensitive skincare for over 40 years, La Roche-Posay has always been committed to pioneering life-changing skincare for all. La Roche-Posay’s hero healing franchise CICAPLAST, a multi-purpose range of barrier restoring creams, was created to soothe and protect dry and damaged skin and, now, La Roche-Posay is proud to introduce its latest additions to the beloved collection – CICAPLAST LIPS HYDRATION RESTORE LIP BALM, a hydrating lip balm for dry to extra dry lips that provides instant and long-lasting moisture, and CICAPLAST GEL B5 SKIN PROTECTANT, a protective gel to protect and relieve areas with chapped, cracked skin.

The CICAPLAST franchise started in 2015 when the brand launched the best-selling CICAPLAST BALM B5, where one is sold every 15 seconds in European pharmacies. CICAPLAST BALM B5 is a multi-purpose balm proven to soothe dry areas, help restore the skin’s moisture barrier and improve the appearance of dry skin for adults, children and babies. Then, in 2020, La Roche-Posay launched CICAPLAST HANDS, an instant relief hydrating hand cream that leaves hands feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. Now, with the launch of CICAPLAST LIPS HYDRATION RESTORE LIP BALM and CICAPLAST GEL B5 SKIN PROTECTANT, La Roche-Posay is proud to continue to expand its best-selling and healing CICAPLAST collection.
“Cicaplast Balm B5 and the entire Cicaplast franchise is a staple for me when recommending products for patients who are dealing with severely dry and damaged skin. I’m happy that the brand has expanded its Cicaplast range with Cicaplast Lips Hydration Restore Lip Balm and Cicaplast Gel B5 Skin Protectant to treat lips, face and body,” says Angela J. Lamb, MD, Associate Professor Dermatology, Board Certified Dermatologist. “Using the appropriate product for sensitive, chapped and cracked skin, especially post-procedure, stitches or laser is essential to restore the skin barrier and provide relief and hydration.”
