What the gurus are saying

This balm sits between pure petrolatum and zinc-based barrier pastes, offering a hybrid approach that dermatologists praise for healing properties. One expert highlights the UV variant particularly for scar management, noting that the madecassoside in the formula works to calm skin while the SPF 50 adds sun protection in one step, making it efficient for those managing compromised barriers or healing skin.

"Something that's sort of a hybrid between the pure petrolatum world and the zinc based barrier butt pastes is something like a Cicalfate from Avene or a Cicalfate from La Roche-Posay. Both of these are good options."
Yay
"They even made a two-in-one option for us the La Roche-Posay Cicalfate Balm UV which is SPF 50 and so you get the healing properties of madecassoside in the cicalfate but you got sunscreen as well so I like efficient skin care that's awesome to put on your scar"
