The lips are one of the most vulnerable areas of our skin. Exposed to harsh weather conditions, drying medical treatments and bad habits, they quickly become dry, cracked and uncomfortable. In response to these problems, Bioderma will be offering a unique innovation in early 2025: Cicabio Lip Repair. This “bandage effect” balm relieves, repairs and intensely protects damaged lips from the very first application.
What is Cicabio Lip Repair?
Cicabio Lip Repair is a complete solution developed by Bioderma for chapped, irritated and cracked lips. Designed specifically to meet the needs of these over-stressed lips, this balm combines innovative ingredients and scientific know-how to provide intense, long-lasting repair. Thanks to its formula enriched with hyaluronic acid and squalane, it moisturises, nourishes and restores the integrity of the skin’s barrier.
Why choose Cicabio Lip Repair?
The lips are a fragile area, lacking sebaceous glands and a protective corneal layer, which makes them five times more sensitive than the rest of the body. There are several reasons why Cicabio Lip Repair is an ideal choice:
- Immediate protection: as soon as it is applied, the balm creates a protective barrier that isolates the skin from external aggressors.
- Immediate relief : its enveloping texture soothes feelings of tightness and discomfort.
- Non-greasy, non-sticky effect: it’s easy to apply and can be used as a night mask for maximum repair.
How does Cicabio Lip Repair work on the lips?
The formula is based on a triple action for a complete response to the needs of damaged lips:
Composed of polyglutamic acid,hyaluronic acid MPM and xylose, this Optimal Repair Complex boosts skin repair, providing effective repair in just 24 hours. Hyaluronic acid, in particular, is renowned for its ability to retain water, helping to keep lips soft and supple.
Antalgicine™ is an exclusive Bioderma active ingredient that quickly relieves feelings of discomfort. By calming irritation, it provides immediate relief, making lips visibly more soothed.
The balm is also enriched with squalane and plant oils (jojoba, karanja, sunflower, shea) which nourish and restore the lipid barrier of the lips. These natural ingredients are known for their repairing properties and their ability to retain moisture, ensuring long-lasting hydration and nutrition for up to 8 hours.
In what particular cases should I use Cicabio Lip Repair?
Cicabio Lip Repair by Bioderma is much more than just a lip balm. Its unique formula makes it an essential ally for treating specific and severe problems of dryness and fragility of the lips, such as perlage, herpes, actinic cheilitis and the side effects of aggressive treatments such as isotretinoin (Roaccutane).
- Perlachia and herpes: This balm repairs and soothes lips damaged by the cracks and irritations common in cases of perlachia and herpes labialis. Thanks to the repairing action of the optimal repair complex and antalgicine, Cicabio Lip Repair promotes healing and reduces discomfort.
- Actinic cheilitis: Lips exposed to sun damage, as in the case of actinic cheilitis, benefit from the barrier and moisturising effect of this lip care product. Its fragrance-, silicone- and colourant-free formula is perfectly suited to skin that has been weakened by exposure to harsh weather conditions.
- Post-treatment of Acne with Isotretinoin (Roaccutane): This treatment often causes intense dryness of the lips, which can lead to cracking and irritation. Cicabio Lip Repair is ideal both during and after treatment to help rebuild the skin barrier, reducing side effects and improving daily comfort. Thanks to its repairing and protective properties, the balm helps to improve compliance with treatment.
