La Roche-Posay® Cicaplast Mains Reviews

I've never encountered a brand quite like La Roche-Posay - every single product I try, no matter how unassuming, rocks my world. So I shouldn't be surprised then that their hand cream has wowed me too!

Like all LRP products, the packaging and text is primarily in French, with some English - luckily there's a nice picture of a hand to show you what it's for!

It's not really scented, there's a slight smell, but its not what I'd call fragranced.

It says activities can be resumed immediately after application, and for the first time ever, it really is a handcream you can use and go right back to work. It doesn't even transfer if you use it, and pick up a piece of paper immediately afterwards! It's instantly absorbed with no greasy residue.

A tiny bit is all you need, so this tube will last a while, probably even longer than a usual handcream due to how little you need to use.

My hands have always been susceptible to cracks and dry skin, especially during Winter - using this cream has completely healed my skin and I really think its preventing future environmental damage to my skin.

I’ve never been one to consistently use hand cream in the past. I usually don’t like the sticky feeling on my hands with a lot of other products.

But this hand cream has quite a different texture. It’s like a really nourishing hybrid between a gel and a cream that doesn’t leave the same sticky residue on your hand but still feels super moisturising.

I’ve been using this everyday and I feel like my hands are softer and healthier. It also smells really good which (in my opinion) is half the point of hand cream! Haha

I loved this hand creme, why? Primarily because it sunk into my skin super quickly and didn’t leave a greasy after feel. After all the extreme hand washing i’ve been doing of late it was the perfect time to do this trial. My hands felt really moisturised but not sticky and greasy. It comes in a nice purse size tube with a flip top which I also liked.

But wait (as they say) there’s more! I’ve found this the perfect all purpose creme for really dehydrated areas. I suffer from cracked heels a lot which get quite painful. I found slathering this on with the old ‘sock on top’ method overnight significantly reduced this problem so i’m going to keep using it as a duel purpose cream.

This product has made me go and look at several other products in this range which I think i’ll being given a go.

Having young kids and being a clean freak my hands were suffering well before the year 2020 hit. Lately they have been starting to crack and split so when I saw trial teams for this go out I knew I needed to give it a go. Luckily I was able to purchase through the vault.

The tube is very small and I would get through in a week if I used like normal hand cream so I apply before bed but probably ok for normal hand washers. The product itself is not a cream but more than an ointment which is fine as leaves more of a protective barrier and feels like it sinks in better. It's pretty economical as you dont need to use much. There is absoutely no fragrance which is a good thing when your hands are dry and sore.

My hands definitely feel less tight and cracks appear to be healing way faster than my usual handcreams. Its especially hydrating for the thicker skin around the knuckles and between fingers that other handcreams aren't able to do.

It definitely feels like a deluxe product and I've been researching other products and I'm very scared for my bank balance.

I love this product so much. I’ve got very dry and cracked hands and this works like Magic. Over the course of 2 weeks I’ve noticed so many changes in my hands. Everyone who suffers with dry hands needs to get this product asap

Its a great hand cream. I have dry hand and this makes it soft in just one application it also make my nails strong and great looking. The only thing i didnt like its really thick it takes a while to absorb into my hand and makes it a bit sweaty

I'll admit, I was concerned when I squeezed this product onto my hand as it seemed quite thick and had a Vaseline type texture. Fear not, once I rubbed my hands together it seemed to 'melt' and was easy to smooth over my hands. It also absorbed easily despite an initial glossy appearance on my hands which looked like it may not absorb but this was very temporary. I like that it had no fragrance because you need to let one scent shine and that's usually perfume but with so many fragranced products these days from body moisturiser to deodorant to face cremes it becomes on big floral bouquet so I prefer non-scented. After 4-5 uses my hands definitely felt softer and the more intense moisturise is perfect for winter months when skin is dryer.

I was pleased to try the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mains Hand Cream. It was a good size for my handbag and being only 50ml meant I could take it on a plane as I travel a lot. The product was non greasy and absorbed quickly into my skin but it did have a slight after smell which I was not fan of. I did notice a difference in hand texture as I suffer from chronic dry and split hands (which got worse during the hand sanitiser period). If I applied this in the evenings I could tell immediately in the morning that my hands felt more hydrated and smoother. I also noticed a big difference in my cuticle health. I would definitely use this product again.
