With more than a billion videos featuring it on TikTok, this moisturizer is the most adored by beautystas. If French women swear by this pharmaceutical treatment to moisturize their skin, American women try to obtain it at all costs. We tested it for you and here is our opinion.
What is this cosmetic that has become completely viral? If American TikTokers have not stopped promoting it for several months, it is indeed a buzz made in France. Indeed, this moisturizing cream was formulated in the center of France and is today the number one brand recommended by dermatologists. A formulation as effective as it is respectful for the skin that we had to test.
What is this moisturizer everyone is talking about?
“I should have tried it sooner”, says American influencer Bambi Does Beauty, followed by more than 245,000 subscribers on TikTok. This moisturizing treatment she is talking about is none other than the Cicaplast B5+ Balm from La Roche Posay. This is a soothing, ultra-repairing cream for the face and body. Thanks to its high tolerance formulation, it reduces redness and irritation and thus relieves the most sensitive skin. Ideal as winter approaches! What beauty addicts from the American continent particularly appreciate: its glowy effect. Thus, the Cicaplast balm can be used just as well as a localized treatment or as a makeup base. In addition to providing all the hydration the skin needs, it offers an undeniable glow, replacing any highlighter. An attractive promise that we put to the test.
The editorial test: here is our opinion
We tested La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm in two different ways. The first one as a day cream, under foundation. The material is quite thick, hence its name balm. The texture is very pleasant and enveloping and provides real suppleness to the skin. In addition to unifying the entire complexion, we very quickly see this glowy, ultra-stunning effect. However, as a makeup base, it is a little too greasy and leaves a somewhat sticky finish to the skin. On the other hand, applied as an evening routine, it meets all the criteria. The skin is velvety, nourished and plump, as soon as you wake up. Not to mention this undeniable glow, hiding the signs of fatigue. Our tip for benefiting from all its advantages? Apply a small amount to the cheekbones as a highlighter. Sold 17.10 euros in drugstore, the product is hypoallergenic and guaranteed fragrance-free. What more ?
