I love the cicaplast mist layered under the balm for my own dry skin

Love this!!! Thank you! 🙌🏻 I use Sonia Roselli’s skin care line in my kit but I love this for me personally and to recommend for my makeup lesson clients :) and good to know this for if I need a backup in my kit as well.

Will you post your edit for other categories as well? Would love to know your oily skin makeup and priming curation!

Any thoughts on the reformulation of Cicaplast Baume B5? I believe it’s now called Cicaplast Baume B5+ (very similar!). I’m at the end of my last bottle which was the original formula, and want to make sure the reformulation performs just as good (especially under makeup) before I repurchase for my kit.

I use the new formulation of Cicaplast Baume B5+, and I feel it's actually better than the original.

The one thing that used to annoy me about the original formula was the finish - it was too sticky/greasy. The update is just as occlusive and protective, but with a much nicer velvety finish that doesn't make you look greasy.

But do yourself a favor and stay away from the Cicaplast Gel B5 - useless (in my opinion).

That’s great news, so glad to hear it’s even better!

And thank you, that’s so helpful to know. I was actually considering the Cicaplast Gel B5 (potentially for combo/oilier skins) because I had seen you mention it a while back in your BASICS is better post.

Just out of curiosity, what changed with that product - did they reformulate that as well?

I wondered if the Cicaplast Gel B5 formula had been "tweaked". I noticed a new tube felt much more silicone-forward (slick) and didn't set as well, and the makeup didn't adhere properly. So I looked at the INCI, and dimethicone shows up in four variants - that's a lot of silicone. It won't clog pores, but it doesn't play well with makeup, and that's why it was in my kit to begin with.

Thank you! That makes sense. It’s so challenging to keep up with all the reformulations and tweaks. 😫
