La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5 Repair Gel 1.35 fl oz — Soothing Protective Gel for Chapped, Post-Procedure Skin

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5 is a fast-absorbing protective gel designed to soothe, protect and support the recovery of chapped, cracked or disrupted skin barriers.

This lightweight gel combines high-concentration humectants and reparative ingredients to comfort irritated skin without a heavy residue. Built for everyday use or after dermatological procedures, the formula blends 21% glycerin and 5% panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) with madecassoside, a mineral complex (copper, zinc, manganese), hyaluronic acid and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water to hydrate, calm and create a protective layer over compromised skin.

How does Cicaplast Gel B5 help visibly damaged or chapped skin?

The gel delivers immediate hydration and a protective film that helps reduce the sensation of tightness and discomfort on cracked or chapped areas. Humectants like glycerin pull moisture into the skin while panthenol and madecassoside support a balanced environment for skin recovery.

• 21% glycerin attracts and binds moisture to the skin.
• 5% panthenol helps maintain hydration and skin softness.
• Madecassoside calms visible irritation and supports barrier comfort.
• Mineral complex and thermal spring water provide soothing trace elements.

Is this gel suitable after dermatological procedures or sutures?

Cicaplast Gel B5 is clinically tested for use after certain procedures and on post-stitch or post-laser skin, making it a commonly recommended option to protect fragile skin during healing. It forms a non-occlusive protective layer that helps shield treated areas from external friction and dryness while feeling light on the skin.

• Tested post-procedure and post-laser for compatibility with sensitive skin.
• Creates a breathable protective barrier to reduce irritation from clothing or contact.
• Non-greasy gel texture for comfortable daytime or nighttime use.

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

The formula is a fast-absorbing gel that spreads smoothly and leaves minimal tackiness, suitable for targeted patches or larger areas. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and gently massage until absorbed; reapply as needed when skin feels tight or exposed.

• Light gel consistency absorbs quickly without heavy residue.
• Works on face, hands, lips and other chapped or cracked zones.
• Suitable for use under makeup or sunscreen on non-open wounds.

Which active ingredients should I expect and what do they do?

The concentrated formula combines humectants, reparative agents and trace minerals to hydrate, soothe and support the skin’s natural recovery processes. These actives work together to promote comfort and provide a protective environment for stressed skin.

• Glycerin (21%) deeply hydrates by drawing moisture inward.
• Panthenol (5%) helps soften and maintain skin resilience.
• Madecassoside and mineral complex calm and fortify the surface.
• Hyaluronic acid supports moisture retention for smoother texture.

Who this product is for: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5 is intended for anyone with chapped, cracked or temporarily disrupted skin barrier who wants an evidence-informed, dermatologist-tested gel. It’s a practical choice for sensitive skin, people recovering from non-invasive dermatological procedures, or those seeking a breathable protective treatment for irritated zones. Avoid applying to open, actively bleeding wounds; consult your healthcare provider for post-surgical guidance if needed.
