Overview
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Lavant B5 is a gentle foaming cleanser designed for irritated, compromised, or sensitized skin. It’s positioned as a “recovery wash” — something you use when your skin can’t tolerate harsh surfactants, actives, or heavily fragranced cleansers.
Texture & Finish
Light gel that foams into a soft, cushiony lather. Rinses clean without that tight, squeaky feeling. Leaves skin feeling calm and comfortable rather than “stripped.”
Key Actives
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5 – soothing and recovery support)
- Gentle cleansing base (designed to minimize barrier disruption)
- La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water (comforting / anti-irritation positioning)
Who It Suits
- Sensitized or reactive skin
- Post-retinoid / post-exfoliation routines
- Dryness, tightness, or barrier damage
- Anyone who wants a “no drama” cleanser
- Face and body use (useful if you’re irritated beyond just the face)
Who Should Avoid It
If you’re very oily or acne-prone and rely on a cleanser to aggressively degrease, this may feel too gentle. In that case, use it as a second cleanser or keep it as your “recovery cleanser” when your skin is inflamed.
My Take
This is the cleanser you swap in when your routine is going sideways. It’s not trying to exfoliate, brighten, or “deep clean” — it’s trying to stop the bleeding. If you’re using retinoids, acids, or you’ve overdone it, a cleanser like this often makes the biggest difference because it removes the daily irritation source.
