La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ SPF50 40ml

Cicaplast Baume B5+ SPF50 combines the Cicaplast repair base with very high broad-spectrum sun protection, for skin that is healing and must be kept out of the sun. Fresh scars, skin after peels, laser, cryotherapy or minor surgery, and areas of post-inflammatory redness all darken easily under UV, and that pigmentation can take months or years to fade. Panthenol supports repair and hydration, madecassoside calms and supports barrier recovery, and the SPF50 filters block the UVA and UVB that would otherwise stain the healing skin. The texture is a light balm that can be applied over small areas several times a day, and it is fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive and children's skin.

The single most important instruction after any procedure or wound is to keep the area out of the sun while it heals, because new skin marks permanently with surprisingly little UV. A balm that repairs and shields in the same layer makes that instruction easy to follow every day, not just when you remember the sunscreen.
