Ultra-Repairing Soothing Balm for Sensitive Skin in Nigeria
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ is a multi-purpose balm designed to soothe and protect irritated skin. This 100ml variant is the advanced 2022 reformulation of the classic Cicaplast Baume B5, now featuring the Tribioma prebiotic complex. This upgrade is specifically engineered to balance the skin's microbiome, supporting a faster and better skin barrier recovery.
Why Choose Cicaplast Baume B5+?
In the Nigerian climate, skin can often face stressors like intense sun, dust, or dryness. This rich, non-greasy balm is an essential for every household, suitable for everyone from infants (3 months+) to adults. It is highly effective for treating dry patches, chapped skin, superficial burns, and post-procedural sensitivity (such as after laser treatments or peels).
Key Ingredients and Benefits
- 5% Panthenol (Vitamin B5): An active ingredient known for its soothing and repairing properties. It provides immediate relief to dry and irritated areas.
- Madecassoside: Derived from Centella Asiatica, this molecule supports epidermal renewal and skin soothing.
- Tribioma Prebiotic Complex: A unique complex that helps rebalance the microbiome of the skin to improve the quality of the repair.
- Copper, Zinc, and Manganese: This mineral complex provides antibacterial protection to prevent infection on compromised skin.
- Shea Butter: Deeply nourishes the skin and restores the lipid barrier.
Versatile Use for the Whole Family
Whether you are treating diaper rash in babies, cracked lips, or everyday skin irritations, Cicaplast Baume B5+ provides a breathable, protective layer. While it is formulated to be invisible, users with deeper skin tones should massage it well into the skin to avoid any slight white cast from the protective minerals.
For personalized advice on using this balm for specific skin conditions, you can always reach out to a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
B5 vs. B5+: What is the difference?
The "B5+" version is the latest scientific evolution of the original balm. While both contain Panthenol and Madecassoside, the B5+ includes the Tribioma prebiotic complex, making it more effective at supporting the skin's natural healing environment. When buying, look for the "+" on the tube to ensure you have the most advanced formula.
