What the gurus are saying

The cool applicator and thick, occlusive texture make this balm a standout for serious lip repair. Experts praise how effective it is, and several mention finishing the tube and returning for more. Because it's heavier than typical lip balms, those who prefer lighter textures may want to save this for intense repair sessions rather than daily use.

    "La Roche-Posay also made a Cicaplast for lips, has a nice cool applicator. You can go ahead and apply that on the lips instead."

    "I'll bounce back and forth between the Cicaplast lips by La Roche-Posay depending on kind of how thick of repair I want on the lips. This is a little bit thicker, more occlusive if I feel like I really need it."

    "One lip balm I really like is [...] the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Lip Balm. It contains wonderful ingredients that instantly soften and add moisture back to dry lips, and it also helps to soothe chapped lips. It's very non-greasy and glides on very easily and smoothly. It contains ingredients like ceramides, shea butter, and glycerin that are hydrating and help to repair the skin barrier. There's also vitamin E, which is a great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory."

    "Sometimes my arms and the backs of my arms get really dry, as well as my shoulders and the insides of my elbows, [...] and this stuff is wonderful. It is very thick. My only complaint is that once it gets towards the bottom, you're going to have to open it up to get the rest out, because the pump kind of stops working. Since it's so thick, it gets to be a messy situation. But it's a really wonderful moisturizer."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
