Priced at just £19.99 (and currently on sale for £16.91), the Cicaplast Balm has topped the chart for its all-rounder approach to skincare. Containing a wide range of skin-loving ingredients, the balm can be used all over your body, including your face, to tackle a whole range of concerns from sunburn to damaged skin barriers.
It contains vitamin B5 which helps improve hydration, as well as glycerin which acts as a humectant to maintain your skin’s moisture levels. Cicaplast, which is a leafy herb rich in vitamins and amino acids helps repair and plump skin, whilst thermal spring water adds to the hydrating and soothing properties of the balm. The Cicaplast Balm also contains panthenol which protects the skin barrier and gives it a cooling, nourished feeling.
