La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5 Protective Repair Gel, 1.35 fl oz — Soothing, Fast-Absorbing Hydration for Damaged Skin

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5 is a lightweight protective repair gel designed to soothe, protect and support visibly damaged or compromised skin.

Formulated to comfort chapped, cracked or disrupted skin barriers, this clear gel combines 21% glycerin and 5% panthenol (Vitamin B5) with madecassoside and a mineral complex to help skin feel calmer and more comfortable while creating a protective layer. Its water-light texture absorbs quickly and is suitable for use after dermatological procedures, stitches or laser treatments. The formula also includes hyaluronic acid and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water to help maintain hydration without a heavy residue.

How does Cicaplast Gel B5 help irritated or broken skin?

Cicaplast Gel B5 delivers moisture and protective ingredients that create a soothing environment for compromised skin. Rather than masking dryness with oils, it uses humectants and soothing agents to support skin comfort and a protective film to reduce friction.

• 21% glycerin draws and locks in moisture for hydration.
• 5% panthenol helps calm and comfort irritated areas.
• Madecassoside supports a calmer skin appearance.
• Mineral complex (copper, zinc, manganese) aids in a protective surface layer.

Can I use it after procedures like stitches or laser treatments?

This gel is specifically tested for post-procedure and post-stitches or laser use, formulated to be gentle and non-greasy while protecting delicate skin. Follow your clinician’s guidance before applying over fresh wounds or sutures.

• Tested for use after dermatological procedures and laser sessions.
• Non-oily gel texture so it won’t clog or sit heavily on treated skin.
• Fast-absorbing for minimal transfer to clothing or dressings.

What is the texture and how should I apply it for best results?

Cicaplast Gel B5 has a translucent, gel-like texture that spreads easily and absorbs quickly, leaving a light protective film. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin one to several times daily depending on the level of dryness or as recommended by a professional.

• Use on chapped lips, cracked hands, elbows or localized damaged areas.
• Apply gently — a thin layer is usually sufficient.
• Can be layered under other topical products if needed once absorbed.

Which key ingredients are inside and what do they do?

The formula blends humectants, soothing agents and a mineral complex to address hydration, comfort and surface protection without heavy occlusion. Ingredients were chosen to maintain moisture balance while providing immediate calming benefits.

• Glycerin (21%) — a strong humectant for hydration.
• Panthenol (5%) — soothes and supports skin comfort.
• Madecassoside — known for calming properties in topical care.
• Hyaluronic Acid and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water for hydration and skin feel.

Who is this for? La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5 is aimed at anyone with localized cracked, chapped or disrupted skin who wants a lightweight, non-greasy protective gel. It’s appropriate for people seeking gentle, clinically tested care after dermatological procedures or everyday relief for rough patches; consult a clinician for open wounds or stitches before regular use. Suitable for most skin types when used as directed.
