Hey guys!

I purchased this lip balm for the second time.

I first started using it about a year ago. I bought it specifically for winter hoping to protect and revive my cracked and dry lips.

I’ve tried quite a good deal of products from this brand and I loved most of them. I decided to repurchase this lip balm, as I had quite a good experience with it.

For the most part, however, I bought it for my kid, because the stuff is fragrance- and paraben-free. 

About the product:

This repairing barrier balm soothes, protects and rebuilds the epidermis on chapped, cracked and irritated lips and zones, thanks to its formula concentrated up to 5% of soothing and repairing Panthénol, and enriched with MP-Lipids, pro-hydration active ingredient, in a breakthrough highly filmogenic formula, ultra-comfortable and protective.

PROPERTIES

Lips and chapped, cracked, irritated zones.

Children and adults.

Apply as often as necessary.

A new generation of barrier-texture:

Its barrier texture isolates against aggressions, repairs and soothes immediately.

INNOVATION MP-lipids: Helps to repair skin’s protective barrier in its different dimensions, associated to [Panthenol 5%] for an immediate relief.

Tested on the most vulnerable lips…

Tested on the lips of patients taking isotretinoin, an anti-acne treatment known to cause skin dryness, CICAPLAST Lèvres proved to be effective for:

 

limiting dehydration in the short term

contributing to the cutaneous barrier reconstruction in deep

immediately favoring soothing sensations

lastingly improving cutaneous comfort

 

Protocol: Use test under dermatological control, on 32 subjects under isotretinoine treatment. 4 weeks use.

 

Ingredients:

CAPRYLIC / CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, PPG-5 PENTAERYTHRITYL ETHER, PEG-5 PENTAERYTHRITYL ETHER, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER / SHEA BUTTER, CERA ALBA / BEESWAX, PANTHENOL, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL, ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE, SILICA SILYLATE, POLYBUTENE, GLYCINE SOJA / SOYBEAN STEROLS, AQUA / WATER, SODIUM SACCHARIN, MYRISTYL MALATE PHOSPHONIC ACID, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE.

This lip balm comes in a squeeze tube. As for me, I don’t really appreciate such packages and prefer sticks.

The formula is thick and transparent.

What I like about it is a nice scent and a sweet and non-chemical taste about it.

The effect after use:

Does it restore dry lips?

Yes, but not as quickly as I would like it to. One has pretty high hopes about such a lip balm. And I thought that I would get perfect lips overnight.

In reality it does nourish my lips, but I have to apply multiple coats to get better results. It heals my cracked lips as well, but again…it requires much time and multiple layering.

Some of you probably say that I expect incredible results overnight in vain. But I actually got such an effect after using a Shea Lip Butter, so…it was like a salvation for me. But this lip balm is so pricey that I thought I would be literally wowed.

 

Does it protect my lips from chapping and drying?

Yes, absolutely... provided you use it every time you go out.

I choose this lip balm over the popular Uriage Lip Balm in a stick when comparing them both, because the latter is not that effective when it comes to protective properties.

My overall thoughts:

I loved this lip balm in general. It’s good as a product against chapped and cracked lips for winter. It helps maintain my lips in good condition when used regularly.

I don’t have any complaints about the ingredients either. It didn’t cause any irritation on me.

As a rule I use this lip balm before going out, when it’s windy or snowing. It does a good job here, so I recommend you try it.

Thanks for reading!
