La Roche-Posay® Cicaplast Mains Reviews

This hand cream was exactly what I needed after months of over-sanitising my hands! It soaks into the skin fast and does create a barrier on your hands. My hands still feel soft and moisturized even after washing my hands and washing dishes! This is a brilliant hand cream to have over these cold winter months as well. My hands aren't dry anymore after using this hand cream, so I think this product is fantastic!

I have heard great things about this product from dermatologists online, but hadn’t purchased because the Aveeno Dermexa range works in a similar way. But. I have now made a permanent switch to Cicaplast Mains.

This is HIGHLY occlusive. If you wash/damage your hands a lot at work then this will protect and repair them well. But I’ve been using it on my face to soothe irritation from using retinol. It really works to lock in moisture on the face, but would be far too heavy for very oily skin.

The addition of niacinamide was a nice surprise too. It will take a while to see if it helps with my hyperpigmentation (especially since I am slowly introducing retinol too) but evidence suggests it is highly effective.

Thanks BR!

I received this in the CBBBE and am so glad that I did as I have wanted to try this. It's almost like a barrier cream but doesn't feel greasy once applied. My hands felt smooth, soft and calm after using this what with continual hand washing and sanitizer. You don't need to keep reapplying like some other hand creams so you are getting value for money there. I have to say this is now one of my favourites and will definitely repurchase.

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.

This is hands down the best hand cream I have used on my very geriatric looking hands!

My hands suffer like I imagine most peoples may be at the moment with all the extra hand washing and sanitising. I also get allergies from disposable gloves and my hands feel the cold terribly so this does not help the feel or look of my hands at all. They honestly look like they have more flakes than a bowl of cornflakes, more scales than a snake sloghing, tougher grit than sandpaper... you get my drift! They are dry, cracked, red and have patchiness.

The box and tube is very typical LRP with the blue and white. The instructions are in a lot of languages which is reassuring that they must be quite popular globally. But its simple - Apply as needed.

I started with application at night and instantly my hands felt smooth and moisturised. The formula itself looks and seems very similar to the neutrogena hand cream that everyone has used at some point most likely.. only this works - and is not slippery. It also trumps the antipodes hand cream joyful I had been using.. I was also that desperate I used the saviour cream also on my hands but that was too slimy.

It acts like a barrier cream and that's exactly what it does so one application lasts quite a while. I only use morning, night and when I remember.. not after every wash or sanitise etc. It doesn't disappear once applied it is like a barrier so the protection is ongoing. That's why I love applying at night before bed.. like a little hand mask. It was a non greasy, non slippery - can still use your phone afterwards formula - which I love!

It has taken these elderly looking mitts back in time - they are soft and smooth with no cracking or bleeding and the best part a persistent dry cracked patch that runs up the length of my index finger has actually softened and healed immensely. I cant believe how quick it has been to turn around results.

They are even brave enough to recommend for home and professional use so must believe in their product which is nice to see. They are also quite active on their Instagram account and are so happy to answer any questions about their products which is very nice to see. If you want to try before you buy life pharmacy is back to doing testers now covid 19 is level 1 in NZ plus they have a pretty good rewards system that makes it a bit sweeter.

Hands down - the best!

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mains is the little tub of magic I needed for my hands. After months and months of hand sanitizer abuse, my hands were starting to feel very unhealthy. This cream has made my hands feel like my own again. They are soft, and supple and dare i say it, looking quite youthful. A little goes a long way, and the tub is the perfect size for my handbag. I have been so impressed by this cream that I have evem let my 7-year-old use it for her monkey bar callouses, and it has worked wonders. Thanks Beauty Review!

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

Got this in the vault as I struggle with extremely dry elbows in the winter and even though I use a lotion for extremly dry skin it still did not do anything and then I got this for 2 reasons to try on my hands as I do not really use hand lotions as I hate having oily sticky hands but this leaves no residue on my hands and love it and 2ndly I use it on my elbows in winter but in summer as well as it works wonders repairing my skin and keeping it moisturised. Would definitely keep on using this.

I generally don't use hand creams as much as I should because I don't like the creamy, sticky residue feeling that most have. With the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mains product, this wasn't an issue at all as the product (which comes out more like a vaseline looking gel) absorbed straight into my skin and left them feeling soft and smooth. After about a week of using the cream, my partner mentioned how soft my nails felt - something I hadn't really noticed or thought of. I work outside and in work gloves most days so my hands get the odd callous here and there but, over the past couple weeks of trialing this product, all except my outer callouses have smoothed over and virtually disappeared!

Would definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for a non-greasy hand-repair cream!
