By the Store Manager
Taiwan's seasons change abruptly: cracked lips, flaky noses, rough elbows. Cicaplast Baume B5 is the quiet white tube many households keep.
Key points first
The store manager compiled official specs, listings and user feedback. This is the official 40 ml tube, listed at NT$520; check the listing.
Key ingredients per the brand: 5% panthenol, centella, TRIBIOMA, shea butter, glycerin.
Key features & specs
It is fragrance-, alcohol- and paraben-free and labeled for babies, children and adults.
Users describe it as rich and a bit sticky. Use a little, locally, patted in.
Common uses: flaky nose and lip corners, rough knuckles and heels, mask-friction spots at night.
It's skincare, not medicine; see a dermatologist for wounds or inflammation.
In use: everyday scenarios
Praise: comfortable on dry spots, gentle, unscented; complaints: greasy in summer, pilling under makeup.
Wait before makeup, or use at night.
Buy from official or authorized stores and check the expiry date.
For all-over moisture, choose a body cream instead.
Shop owner's notes
Shop owner's aside: the nearly empty tube in your drawer is often the answer.
Night routine: cleanse, toner, lotion, then a dot of B5 only on flaky spots.
Great for men after shaving or windburn.
For hands: a thin layer at night, cotton gloves on.
A 40 ml tube fits travel kits for dry cabin air; check airline liquid rules.
On PTT's BeautySalon and Dcard's makeup board, opinions split: many say it calms seasonal dryness and post-procedure skin, while plenty of oily or acne-prone users report clogged bumps when applying it thickly all over. Common tips: warm it in your palm and press on, use it only on dry spots, or apply thickly and wipe off later. Great for dry patches; oily skin wanting an all-over cream may prefer a lighter texture.
What Shopee buyers say
