- Glycerin is a humectant that helps attract and retain moisture.
- Niacinamide is commonly used in barrier-supporting skincare formulations.
- Shea butter provides additional emollient care.

- Where possible, use lukewarm rather than very hot water for hand washing.
- Dry hands gently rather than rubbing aggressively.
- Protective gloves may be useful when handling detergents or other irritating substances.
- Persistent cracking, bleeding, itching or inflammation may indicate hand dermatitis or another skin condition.
- Seek pharmacist or GP advice if symptoms are severe, recurrent, spreading or showing signs of infection.

FAQs
1. What is La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands used for?
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands is an intensive barrier hand cream developed for dry, sensitive and overworked hands. It moisturises the skin while creating an invisible protective layer designed to resist washing and friction. The formula contains 30% glycerin, 4% niacinamide and shea butter. It is particularly useful for people whose hands become dry through frequent washing, work, cleaning or environmental exposure. The finish is designed to absorb quickly without leaving the hands feeling oily or sticky.
2. Is Cicaplast Hands suitable for very dry hands?
Yes. Cicaplast Hands is specifically designed for overworked hands that have become dry through everyday external stresses. Its formula contains a high concentration of glycerin to provide moisturising care, alongside niacinamide, shea butter and dimethicone. La Roche-Posay states that the product helps leave skin feeling softer and less dry while providing an invisible protective effect. For persistently cracked, bleeding or severely inflamed hands, however, speak to a pharmacist or GP because an underlying skin condition may require additional management.
3. How much glycerin is in La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands?
Cicaplast Hands contains 30% glycerin. Glycerin is a humectant widely used in moisturising skincare because it helps attract and retain water within the outer layers of the skin. The high glycerin concentration is one of the defining characteristics of this hand cream and makes it particularly suitable for intensive moisturising care when hands are repeatedly exposed to washing, friction or environmental conditions that leave them feeling dry.
4. Does Cicaplast Hands contain niacinamide?
Yes. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands contains 4% niacinamide. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is widely used in skincare formulations designed to support skin barrier function and comfort. In Cicaplast Hands it is combined with 30% glycerin, shea butter and dimethicone to create an intensive but practical barrier hand cream. The formula is particularly suited to people who need regular moisturisation without a heavy, sticky residue.
5. Is La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands greasy?
La Roche-Posay describes Cicaplast Hands as having a quick-absorbing texture with an invisible, non-oily and non-sticky finish. This is useful for people who need to apply hand cream regularly but still need to use keyboards, phones, tools or other everyday objects immediately afterwards. Although it creates a protective glove-like effect, it is specifically formulated to avoid the heavy greasy finish associated with some intensive hand creams.
6. How often should I apply Cicaplast Hands?
La Roche-Posay recommends applying Cicaplast Hands to clean hands every two hours or whenever needed. People who wash their hands frequently may prefer to reapply whenever the skin begins to feel dry or tight. Massage a small amount over the entire hand, including the backs of the hands, fingers and around the nails. Regular application is generally more useful for maintaining skin comfort than waiting until the hands become extremely dry.
7. Is Cicaplast Hands suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. La Roche-Posay states that Cicaplast Hands has been tested on sensitive skin. The manufacturer also describes the formula as non-perfumed and formulated with a minimal ingredient list. This makes it an option for sensitive hands that require intensive moisturisation and barrier support. Individual sensitivities can still occur, so customers with known cosmetic allergies should check the full ingredient list before use and discontinue the product if persistent irritation develops.
8. Can I use Cicaplast Hands after washing my hands?
Yes. This is one of the situations where a barrier hand cream can be particularly useful. Repeated exposure to water and cleansing products can leave the hands feeling dry and tight. Cicaplast Hands is designed to provide an invisible barrier that resists washing and friction. Apply it to clean, dry hands whenever needed, particularly when the skin starts to feel dry or uncomfortable.
9. Does Cicaplast Hands contain fragrance?
La Roche-Posay describes Cicaplast Hands as non-perfumed. This can be useful for people with sensitive skin or those who prefer hand-care products without added perfume. However, ingredient formulations can occasionally be updated. If you have a specific allergy or sensitivity, check the ingredient declaration printed on the actual product packaging before use rather than relying solely on an online ingredient list.
10. Can healthcare workers or people who wash their hands frequently use Cicaplast Hands?
Cicaplast Hands is specifically formulated for overworked hands exposed to aggressions at home or work, and its barrier texture is designed to resist washing and friction. This can make it a practical moisturising option for people whose occupations involve frequent hand washing. Workplace infection-control procedures should always take priority, however, and anyone working in healthcare or another regulated environment should follow their employer's hand-hygiene and skincare policies.
11. Can La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands be used every day?
Yes. Cicaplast Hands is designed for regular application and can be used whenever your hands need additional moisturisation or barrier care. La Roche-Posay recommends application every two hours or as required. Regular use may be particularly helpful during cold weather or periods of frequent hand washing. If dryness remains severe despite consistent moisturising, or if the hands become itchy, inflamed, cracked or painful, seek advice from a pharmacist, GP or dermatologist.
12. What is the difference between Cicaplast Hands and Cicaplast Baume B5+?
Cicaplast Hands is specifically formulated as a hand barrier cream and contains 30% glycerin and 4% niacinamide. It has a fast-absorbing, wash- and friction-resistant texture designed for frequent hand use. Cicaplast Baume B5+ is a different multi-purpose balm formulated for use across various areas of the face and body and contains ingredients such as panthenol and madecassoside. For specifically dry, overworked hands, Cicaplast Hands offers the more targeted format.
