As part of the Best Picks team, my job is to put my skincare through its paces and try out the very latest and greatest in the world of products.

But there’s only a handful of products I come back to time and again, they’re just that good.

One of these products is a tube of La Roche-Posay’s best-selling Cicaplast Baume B5, which is currently discounted on Amazon Australia from $25.95 to just $21.99.

If you haven’t tried it, settle down and let me convince you why you absolutely need to invest.

First up, the French pharmacy best-selling buy is a multi-tasker that can look after various elements of your face and body.

Originally designed to soothe and repair damaged, irritated or uncomfortable skin, it is now frequently recommended by dermatologists after flare-ups — and can be used everywhere from your face to your hands and your body.

It even works on babies with nappy rash, it’s just that soothing.

Secondly, the Cicaplast Baume B5 is hyper sensitive, meaning whatever skin type you have, your complexion will drink it up.

Terms like ‘barrier repair’ and ‘strong barrier’ are par for the course now in the skincare world, but since its inception several decades ago, La Roche-Posay Cicaplast has been caring for our skin without nasties or chemicals.

The two key ingredients in the product are madecassoside and panthenol.

Madecassoside is derived from the centella asiatica plant, which has the ability to calm inflammation, soothe irritation and promote skin healing.

Panthenol – which derives from vitamin B5 – works hard to improve redness and boost your hydration.

The upgraded La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ features Tribioma, an innovative prebiotic complex that reinforces the skin’s moisture barrier.

Its hydrating and reparative ingredients make it ideal for addressing dryness, redness, and sensitive skin concerns.

To use the product, simply cleanse the skin as per normal, pat it dry with a towel and apply to affected areas on the face, body, or lips.

Use twice daily or as needed for optimal hydration and comfort.

Reviews online agree with me as to how much of a “miracle worker” this product really is.

At present, there are close to 5,000 five-star reviews on Amazon Australia.

“I’ve tried countless products to cleanse my nose of sebaceous filaments and shrink pores but nothing had lasting effectiveness,” one shopper writes.

“Decided to give this a try since it was surprisingly affordable and recommended. It applies a bit thick and has an initial white cast but after that fades the result is spectacular, skin looks smooth and texture is visibly improved.

“It is certainly better than all the ‘oil control, pore minimising’ moisturisers I’ve tried. Highly recommended!”

Another says: “This balm is a must-have for dry, irritated, or sensitive skin. It’s rich but not greasy, absorbs well, and works wonders on dry patches, redness, and even minor skin irritation. Perfect for face and body!”

While a third adds: “Absolutely wonderful. As soon as it absorbs... the relief is real! And lasts. I will definitely be getting more!”

“My personal experience with Cicaplast Baume B5 is also wonderful, and I reach for it regularly on cooler evenings when my skin is looking dry or lacklustre, or when I’ve had a flare-up from inevitably thinking my skin can handle harsher peels.
