Cicaplast Balm B5 SPF 50 with Centella Asiatica 1.35oz | Multi-purpose cream with panthenol, shea butter, tribioma, zinc oxide sunscreen. Skin protectant for dry skin.

I started using this during my Accutane course when my skin was constantly dry, tight, and easily irritated. After about a week of daily use in the morning, it helped take the edge off that uncomfortable dryness and made my skin feel a bit more stable throughout the day. Having SPF 50 built in also simplified my routine when my skin was too sensitive for layering multiple products. The texture is thick and balm-like, but it spreads without dragging and leaves a slightly protective layer rather than a greasy feel. It has a mild sunscreen scent and a faint white cast at first, which fades as it absorbs. It feels more like a barrier cream with sun protection than a typical moisturizer. I think it’s a solid option for Accutane users who need moisture plus SPF in one step, but very reactive skin might still sting due to the chemical filters. Patch testing helps. Overall, it’s been a reliable daytime product for keeping dryness manageable.

La Roche-Posay is another brand recognized by dermatologists as safe and effective with quality ingredients, solid research data, and moderate price point. This stuff feels great on the skin and I always appreciate anything that has a dual use. It calms my skin and has sunscreen: a pure win for me.

Use very small amounts otherwise it leaves your skin whiteish

I have very dry and slightly sensitive skin and I love this. I usually need to layer at least 3 moisturizers to get through the day, but this alone is actually enough. I love that it has sun protection so I don’t have to apply more sunscreen on top. I wear a full face of makeup on top and am thrilled to say I had absolutely no issues with pilling, caking, or patchiness. The finish is quite nice, neither shiny nor matte, just nice and glassy. I have not noticed any white cast, but I have light-medium skin so I don’t usually notice that anyway.

This Cicaplast Balm B5 is a lifesaver for my skin! It works incredibly well for dryness, irritation, and even small skin issues. Whenever my skin feels damaged or sensitive, this helps calm it down very quickly. The texture is rich but not too heavy, and it absorbs nicely without feeling greasy. I use it as the last step in my routine, especially at night, and wake up with softer, healthier-looking skin. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and works great for both face and body. Definitely a must-have product—I keep repurchasing! ✨

This is a very good cream recommendation from my dermatologist. It goes on easy and provides excellent protection. I took off one star due to its cost. There are others just as good at half the price per ounce.

Excellent moisturized and sunscreen combo. My dermatologist recommended it to me, and I’ve been using it for years. The white tint can be rubbed in. Great for sensitive skin and oily skin. Recommend for daily use. Good for under makeup too!

An excellent cream with a good SPF of 50 that aids in healing; it feels lightweight upon application and doesn't pill on the face.
