Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Frequent hand washing, cold weather, detergents, cleaning products and occupational exposure can leave the hands feeling dry, tight and uncomfortable. Regular use of an appropriate emollient or barrier cream can be an important part of maintaining the skin barrier.
From a pharmacy perspective:
- Apply hand cream regularly rather than waiting until the hands become extremely dry.
- Reapplying after hand washing can be particularly helpful for people who wash their hands frequently.
- Pay particular attention to the backs of the hands, fingers, knuckles and areas around the nails.
- Fragrance-free skincare may be preferable when the skin is sensitive or easily irritated.
- Wearing suitable protective gloves can help when using household cleaning products or other potential irritants.
- Glycerin is a humectant that helps maintain moisture within the skin.
- Shea butter provides emollient care to help soften dry skin.
- Niacinamide is included within the Cicaplast Hands formula as part of its barrier-focused skincare formulation.
- Do not apply cosmetic hand cream to actively bleeding, infected or severely damaged skin without appropriate advice.
- Persistent cracking, bleeding, itching, blistering or inflammation may require assessment rather than moisturising care alone.
If hand symptoms are severe, recurrent or fail to improve, particularly where occupational dermatitis or eczema is suspected, speak to your pharmacist, GP or another appropriate healthcare professional.
Not Suitable For
- Anyone with a known allergy or sensitivity to an ingredient
- Use directly on actively bleeding wounds
- Anyone experiencing a significant reaction after application
Discontinue use if persistent irritation develops.
How to Use
Apply to clean, dry hands as often as required.
La Roche-Posay's current directions recommend application to clean hands every two hours or as needed.
For very dry hands:
- Apply after washing and drying the hands
- Massage over palms, backs of hands, fingers and knuckles
- Reapply during the day as required
- Apply again before bed for overnight moisturising care

FAQs
1. What is La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands used for?
Cicaplast Hands is a specialist barrier hand cream intended for overworked hands affected by everyday external aggressors at home or work. It provides moisturising care while creating an invisible protective, glove-like effect on the skin. It is particularly useful as part of a regular hand-care routine when frequent washing or environmental exposure leaves the hands feeling dry or uncomfortable.
2. Is Cicaplast Hands suitable for very dry hands?
Yes. Cicaplast Hands is designed specifically for overworked hands and provides moisturising and protective care. Ingredients such as glycerin and shea butter help maintain hydration and soften the skin, while dimethicone contributes to the protective feel of the formulation. Persistent severe dryness, cracking, bleeding or inflammation should be discussed with a pharmacist or healthcare professional.
3. Is La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. La Roche-Posay states that Cicaplast Hands has been tested on sensitive skin. It is also non-perfumed, making it particularly relevant for people who prefer to avoid fragrance in their hand-care products. As with any cosmetic, check the ingredient list before use if you have known allergies or sensitivities.
4. Can I use Cicaplast Hands after washing my hands?
Yes. Regular application after hand washing can be useful, particularly if frequent washing leaves your hands feeling dry or tight. Dry your hands gently before applying the cream. La Roche-Posay advises applying Cicaplast Hands to clean hands every two hours or whenever required.
5. Does Cicaplast Hands contain niacinamide?
Yes. Niacinamide appears high in the official ingredient list, alongside glycerin, shea butter and dimethicone. Niacinamide is widely used in skincare formulations as a skin-conditioning and barrier-supporting ingredient. The formula is designed to provide protective and moisturising care for overworked hands.
6. Does La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands contain fragrance?
No. La Roche-Posay describes Cicaplast Hands as non-perfumed. This can make it a useful option for sensitive hands or for people who simply prefer fragrance-free hand-care products. Always check the current ingredient list on the pack, as manufacturers can update formulations.
7. Can healthcare workers use Cicaplast Hands?
Cicaplast Hands may be useful for people whose work involves frequent hand washing, including healthcare environments. It is designed for overworked hands exposed to aggressions at home or work. However, workplace infection-control policies should always be followed, particularly regarding when and where personal hand creams can be used.
8. How often can I apply Cicaplast Hands?
La Roche-Posay recommends applying it to clean hands every two hours or as needed. In practice, it can be reapplied according to how dry or uncomfortable your hands feel. Applying hand cream after washing and again before bed can be particularly useful when the hands are exposed to frequent cleansing.
9. Does Cicaplast Hands leave a protective layer?
Yes. La Roche-Posay describes Cicaplast Hands as leaving an invisible protective glove-like effect. This distinguishes it from a basic hand moisturiser and makes it particularly suitable when the goal is both moisturising and supporting the skin against everyday external exposure.
10. Can Cicaplast Hands be used for cracked hands?
It can be used as moisturising and protective skincare for dry, overworked hands. However, deep cracks, bleeding, significant inflammation, signs of infection or persistent symptoms may need professional assessment. A pharmacist can help determine whether an emollient or barrier cream is appropriate or whether another treatment may be required.
11. What is the difference between Cicaplast Hands and Cicaplast Baume B5+?
Cicaplast Hands is specifically formulated as a hand barrier cream and creates an invisible glove-like protective effect. Cicaplast Baume B5+ is a separate multi-purpose balm designed for use on various areas of the face and body. For everyday dry, overworked hands, Cicaplast Hands provides a more hand-specific format.
12. Is Cicaplast Hands suitable for everyday use?
Yes. Cicaplast Hands can be incorporated into a daily hand-care routine and reapplied whenever required. Regular moisturising is particularly useful for people whose hands are repeatedly exposed to water, soaps, detergents, cold weather or occupational irritants. If symptoms continue despite appropriate skincare, seek advice from a pharmacist or healthcare professional.
