I love this Cicaplast mains La Roche-Posay hand cream. I currently have three tubes on the go. I’ve been using it in conjunction with La Roche Posay cicaplast baume b5 because my hands had cracked due to all the extra washing and sanitising. This cream is gentle and works well enough on its own, but the baume really steps it up a notch. My kids have been using it too. My daughter gets eczema and my son doesn’t but even his hands were so dry and flaky and cracked from the extra cleansing. Now after two weeks, all of our hands are healed and soft and smooth. No more tears at bedtime from sore hands from using other creams! It is more ointment like than cream, absorbs rapidly so it’s not greasy. It is soothing and provides a barrier to the skin. Highly recommend, and chemist warehouse frequently have this on sale for around $10, as well as the cicaplast baume. So they’re economical too!

Tips: Combine with cicaplast baume b5 repair cream for extra dry, cracked hands for intense repairing action. Apply cicaplast mains after hand washing and before going out into the cold, or regularly throughout the day. Use any excess on you dry lips! Use it on heels, elbows, knees, anywhere that’s a bit dry!
My hands are overjoyed that this cream arrived when it did- they've been crying out for some love and care since winter set in and we've all been washing them like mad!
This hand cream does exactly what it says it will. It soothes, protects, and restores the skin on your hands and keeps working the more regularly you apply it.
My knuckles were looking really rough before I started using the tube, red and cracked and sore. Thankfully, it was only a day or two before they started to look like new again.
One of my favourite parts of this product, and my usual bug bear with other hand creams, is that it doesn't leave that sticky, greasy feeling behind. I was able just to rub a small amount in and move on with my day as usual- just the way it should be!
Buy a tube of this for your handbag, your car, your desk at work, and beside your kitchen sink. It'll be your hands' saving grace this winter!
I tried this product out and also shared it with my Workroom Ladies. We all work with our hands as Embroidery Technicians. We thread needles, handle garments constantly to mark up, frame and then embroider on a machine. We all loved using Cicaplast Mains. This product is easily absorbed and feels luxurious on application. It feels nourishing right away and instantly remedies any dry or cracking skin. The best thing is you can carry on straight away and resume your activity after applying on your hands. Its Fragrance free, however it still has a slight scent which is delicate and reassuring. This size tube is perfect for your handbag or car. Your hands will love you for using La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mains.
Tips: Use a small amount, about Pea Size. Massage into your cuticles as well as all over palms and back of the hands.
Apply regularly. Great after hand washing but make sure hands are dry first.
Good on cracked heels too, try it.
Use anywhere you have dry skin, even faces!
I'm not completely sold on this one, although don't get me wrong, it was really nice but I just didn't find it overly special/ I've tried others similar.
The consistency is really nice, it's quite thick but still easy to get out of the tube, and it glides on really nicely and sort of melts in to your hands. When I first used it I thought that it was going to leave my hands with a sort of greasy film over them but it didn't, so that was great. A little does go a long way with this product, so it would end up lasting a long time. I like that it was also fragrance free, it's a nice change from some of the other overly perfumed hand creams out there. I did find that around my fingers/cuticles was still quite dry which I was hoping this cream would fix, but they haven't seemed to budge too much. I will keep giving this a go though!
I will definitely be using this cream again. Being a nurse I regularly suffer from dermatitis from washing hands, under my rings and under my watch. I applied this repair cream to my hands at night and in the morning and irritated areas quickly healed and have not flared up since. Love how easy it is to use and makes my hands feel soft and hydrated.
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 love this hand cream so much - its just perfect, especially in our new climate of using hand sanitiser multiple times a day!
I like the packaging - its clean and simple. The flip lid is very sturdy and suitable for popping in your handbag without the fear of leaking.
The cream is very thick and almost balm like in look and texture. It rubs in great - there's no sticky or greasy aftermath to contend with.
Its not scented which I prefer.
The price is great, very reasonable given how long it will last.
Highly recommend!
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!
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 am a big fan of the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mains. Despite the picture of hands on the tube it can be hard at first to work out what this product is used for if you miss the words 'barrier repairing cream' on the tube. I used it as an all-purpose barrier cream anywhere my skin was rough or had been left dry from the elements.
The formula is less a traditional cream product but more a thicker cream similar to balms which have been softed, like paw paw balm. I love that it's unscented which makes it much more family-friendly product in my opinion. Once applied your skin is left feeling soft and supple.
Uses I have found are - - all over hand cream, including dry elbow skin - massaged into feet - post-shaving on my legs - as a lip balm - dry skin around my nose
It would also be good around the hairline before colouring your hair.
I would be happy to repurchase this when empty, great product to have on hand during these cold winter months.
