What the product description says

“As well as improving the appearance of the skin, Cicabio SPF 50+ relieves the urge to scratch skin as it heals, and moisturises the area to ensure optimum comfort for adults, children and infants*.”

Source: Escentual

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cyclomethicone, glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cyclomethicone, c12-15 alkyl benzoate.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester

Anti-aging

Side benefit · Acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, Asiaticoside + 2 more

Works well

This product can help prevent early signs of skin aging because it offers a good level of broad spectrum sun protection. Sun damage is the main cause of premature skin aging, and protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging strategy.

These ingredients in the product can also help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity. There is some human evidence for them, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, asiaticoside.

Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Bioderma - Cicabio SPF50+ Soothing Repairing Care" can provide reliable sun protection. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

Sunscreen filters

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 3.10% - 3.80%, uvinul a plus 6.60% - 8.00%, octisalate 2.00% - 2.50%, uvinul t 1.70% - 2.10% and homosalate 4.50% - 5.50%.

Irritation risk

This moisturizer contains some common irritants, including those without a benefit for the skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be low. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here
