La Roche-Posay adds two new products to Cicaplast line
La Roche-Posay’s Cicaplast line, which features a range of barrier restorative creams that soothe and protect dry and damaged skin, is welcoming two new additions—Lips Hydration Restore Lip Balm and Gel B5 Skin Protectant.
The new Cicaplast Lips Hydration Restore Lip Balm is designed for use on dry to very dry sensitive lips. Made to soothe and soften without a greasy texture, the lip balm is formulated with vitamin B5, sustainably sourced shea butter and its Thermal Spring water.

On the other hand, the new Cicaplast Gel B5 Skin Protectant works to protect and soothe a disrupted skin barrier. It also has been tested post-procedure and post-laser to ensure skin feels hydrated, the brand said.
Formulated with a blend of Madecassoside, a therapeutic agent that helps promote skin healing, it also contains 5% panthenol, 21% glycerin, hyaluronic acid, Thermal Spring Water, and a complex of copper, zinc and manganese.
“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 of dermatology and 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.”
