What Does Cica Do For The Skin?
Cica, also known as Centella Asiatica, is well known for its ability to soothe skin and aid skin healing. Because it is rich in amino acids, fatty acids and antioxidants, it is used to visibly improve irritated and damaged skin.
What Is Cica Cream Good For?
Cica cream is good for those who want to strengthen and protect their skin's natural barrier, speed up healing from blemishes, soothe redness and irritation and hydrate deeply to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
What Is Cicaplast Used For?
Cicaplast is a range of skincare products specially formulated for skin barrier repair that can be used on the face and body. La Roche-Posay's cicaplast range includes face creams, balms, foaming gels and hand creams.
Can I Use Retinol And Cicaplast Together?
Cicaplast can be used with retinol. You should either apply cicaplast serum or cream first, then layer other ingredients, like retinol or salicylic acid, after it has been absorbed. Or you can combine your retinol with cicaplast to dilute the retinol and decrease the likelihood of irritation, which can affect some people when using retinol.
