La Roche-Posay vs Avene Cica Cream This or That

[@brunopiccinin]

I like both, but Cicalfate is my all time favorite. It's extremely soothing.

[@mau2447]

Both are staples. I always have both in my bathroom, especially in snowy winter months

[@KellyDriscoll]

Same, skin savers in the winter! 💜

[@lunastella2323]

Anything closer to avene? One that does not contain mineral oil? (Allergy)

[@mau2447]

​@@lunastella2323hi. I can recommend the soon jung 5- panthenososside balm. It's probably less potent than the balms in the video when it comes to ingredients. It has a high concentration of panthenol, which promotes healing. I'm unsure about the concentration of madecassoside in this product, but these two actives usually calm down my skin pretty well) Also a huge plus for me is that this balm doesn't rub off and actually stays on my face throughout the night. Gotta warn you, it's due to a less emollient consistency, mb the 10-panthenososside balm will feel richer, but I haven't tried it Hope this helps

[@kellyh7202]

Cicalfate is like magic as a spot treatment for any irritated patches of skin on me - bug bites, breakouts, dry patches, you name it. I would recommend it more for that than an all over moisturizer, but it is a staple for me now!

[@izabelazajac574]

I had dermatitis on my upper eye lids and it was the only cream I used. It’s amazing

[@lauraanderson8785]

The LRP Cicaplast Baume is one of my holy grails. It never fails to calm my irritated skin during winter or if I've overdone it with actives

[@GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

Cicalfate easily! Cicaplast gave me contact dermatitis. I don’t find cicalfate particularly hydrating, but it’s great as a way less greasy alternative to slugging or to use when I’m dealing with contact dermatitis. I recently bought a travel sized version of it for a contact dermatitis I developed on my face from using the Cerave hydrating cleanser. It fixed the irritation almost instantly and let my skin calm down to a point where I could continue using my normal products that would burn and sting.

[@christine_notchristina]

So happy you covered this!! Been debating which of the two to get

[@thyanelopes]

I prefer cicabio form bioderma, is the best for me, the only I can use during a breakout causes for dermatitis

[@skyestarler3593]

Ive been using lrp cica balm since 2017, it is a necessity in my life 😂 i have combination skin & it doesnr break me out. Helps speed up pih

[@TiaVaylik]

Thank you soooo much for breaking this down for me!!!! Now I can buy the correct 1 for my skin needs. As always my dry/dehydrated mature skin thank you!!!!💖😘💕

[@absoluteverything]

I have LRP and illiyoon.. both are the best for my dry skin 😊

[@LaMasxula]

Same, unfortunately I just found out that LRP has changed the formula so I don’t know what to use as a replacement for the cicaplast baume 😭

[@HadirKilani-er9go]

can i use cicalfate to HELP HEALING new chickenpox scar ? because i found out that scar need to be moistrized to heal faster ?

[@Bruuner]

I tried the Avene twice and in both tubes the product had separated so I ended up with straight up liquid coming out the first few uses. It made me wonder if the remaining formula was affected. Anyone else experience this?

[@GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

It can happen during the shipping process. It’s not a very temperature stable formula, unfortunately. I find it helps to warm it up in warm, not hot, water for 10 minutes. Then massage the tube in your hands for 5 more minutes. After that, let it cool then try again. It should be a creamy texture.

[@KellyDriscoll]

My first tube did that, it's sensitive to cold weather apparently, I was able to get a replacement sent when I ordered from Skinstore!

[@elen6990]

Lrp's texture is so smooth once it spreads and absorbs onto the skin but it had some form of zinc in it and that i think got me getting small tiny breakouts. Sadly 😐.

[@monicaduncan7109]

I prefer avene since they reformulated the la Roche Posay it’s not occlusive enough for me any more, having eczema on my face

[@kaym3916]

Cicalfate all the way!

[@iakoiako5665]

La roche ❤❤❤

[@karenware4124]

Love them both❤❤❤

[@Cookie-ye4xe]

Hi! Can you use the avene cicalfate after a moisturizer, sort of like a slugging step?

[@KellyDriscoll]

Yes you can!

[@serenity8910]

They both feel like glue to me! I think the Bioderma Cicabio is way superior!

[@rhileynnna]

I think LRP is breaking me out :( do you think the avene would be better in this case?

[@MenchieExtrakt]

the cicabalm+ isn't moisturising enough for me. I prefer illiyoon

[@KellyDriscoll]

It's not really a moisturizer but more like a spot treatment cream, a lot of people use it all over as a moisturizer but technically that's not what it's meant to be used as!

[@MenchieExtrakt]

@@KellyDriscoll actually I think I might’ve bought a fake. I tried a tester today, it’s feels thicker and kinda smells like glue?

[@sanjidasultanasanji8293]

cann you suggest me a moisturizer for oily sensitive acne prone skin

[@deborah972]

Love this xx

[@adaml9772]

Which of these would be best suited as an aftershave balm? Thanks

[@myuuuung]

Can you make a review for bioderma cicabio and embryolisse cream

[@sanzidamohammad6462]

Can u make a review video of purito vitamin c serum plzzzzzzzz🥺🥺

[@aamugirl]

I can't use either. They break me out. I used them both as foot cream to use them up 😢

[@mariabatista8379]

Cicalfate wins allways its the most comun dermotalogist indication in Portugal. LRP has more publicity😊

[@user-pf8ul4tn7d]

The cicalfate came so watery/separated! I can’t seem to mix it in with the cream part 😩

[@KellyDriscoll]

My first tube did that, it's sensitive to cold weather apparently, I was able to get a replacement sent when I ordered from Skinstore!

[@user-pf8ul4tn7d]

@@KellyDriscoll so I can’t use it at all then? dang it.

[@AutumnElaine]

Does Copper Sulfate work the same way that Sulfur products work in Skincare/ Acne Skincare..?

[@elenacjhuang]

which one is better for dry rosacea skin?

[@KellyDriscoll]

Avene offers more moisture which may suit your needs better!

[@AnneMariewx]

@KellyDriscol why apply something with mineral oil on one’s skin? It’s horrible!

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Mineral oil is soothing and occlusive. It’s a fantastic ingredient for skincare. You should do some actual research or watch dermatology videos.
