Glass Skin Effect Kit

Cicaplast Baume B5 is formulated to help soothe, protect, and nourish dry or uncomfortable skin, which can support the skin while it naturally restores itself. Ingredients like Vitamin B5 (panthenol), shea butter, glycerin, and madecassoside, an active ingredient derived from Centella Asiatica (often called “cica”) to help comfort the skin and reinforce its moisture barrier. While it does not “repair” the skin barrier in a medical sense, many people use it when their skin feels dry, tight, irritated, or over-exfoliated, as it helps provide the relief and protection the skin needs during recovery.

Cica is short for Centella Asiatica, also known as “tiger grass”. It’s a plant extract commonly used in soothing creams. A cica balm is typically a comforting, nourishing cream formulated with centella or its derivatives. These balms are used when the skin feels irritated, dry, or sensitive.

A compromised skin barrier often becomes noticeable when your skin feels unusually dry, flaky, tight, or uncomfortable. You may experience stinging or burning after cleansing, increased redness, or sensitivity to products that normally wouldn’t cause irritation. If your skin feels more reactive than normal, applying a gentle, nourishing balm like Cicaplast Baume B5 can help provide soothing comfort and contributes to the repair of the skin’s moisture barrier while the skin naturally regains balance.
