Bioderma Cicabio Crème Soothing Repairing Cream-40ml

Description

The Bioderma Cicabio Crème Soothing Repairing Cream (40ml) is a specialized dermatological cream designed to soothe, repair, and protect damaged and irritated skin. It’s a go-to solution for a wide range of minor skin injuries and discomforts, suitable for the entire family.

Long Description:

When your skin is compromised – whether from minor cuts, abrasions, scratches, superficial burns, post-procedure irritation (like after a peel or laser), or even severe dryness and cracking – it needs targeted care to heal properly and comfortably. The Bioderma Cicabio Crème is formulated with Bioderma’s unique ecobiological approach, which aims to respect the skin’s natural biology to restore its health lastingly.

This soothing repairing cream provides a multi-action approach:

• Restores the Epidermis: It actively works to rebuild and strengthen the damaged skin barrier.
• Soothes Discomfort and Reduces Itching: A key patented ingredient, ANTALGICINE™ (Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester), acts directly on the sensations of discomfort, quickly alleviating itching and the urge to scratch. This is crucial for preventing further damage and promoting undisturbed healing.
• Purifies: The combination of Copper Sulfate and Zinc Sulfate provides potent purifying and antibacterial action. These minerals help to limit the proliferation of microorganisms at the wound site, reducing the risk of secondary infection and creating an optimal healing environment.
• Hydrates and Protects:
  • Hyaluronic Acid: A powerful humectant, it deeply hydrates the skin, forming a breathable, protective film on the surface. This “dressing effect” texture helps to maintain optimal moisture levels, which is vital for effective skin repair, and shields the skin from external aggressors.
  • Resveratrol (from Vitis Vinifera – Grape Vine Extract): This antioxidant ingredient works synergistically with Copper and Zinc to promote faster and higher-quality epidermal reconstruction.
  • Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid (from Centella Asiatica): These compounds are well-known for their healing, anti-inflammatory, and collagen-stimulating properties, further aiding in skin repair and regeneration.
  • Glycerin: Another humectant, it draws moisture into the skin, keeping it soft and supple.

The Cicabio Crème has a distinctive “dressing effect” texture – a rich, creamy, non-greasy formula that forms a breathable protective film over the affected area. This film not only shields the skin but also helps maintain a moist environment conducive to healing.

It boasts very good skin tolerance, is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), and has no added coloring agents (its natural color comes from the active ingredients). This makes it suitable for all skin types, including highly sensitive, and for use on the face, body, lips, and external intimate areas for adults, children, and infants (excluding premature babies and open, oozing wounds).
