Pharmacist's advice

Cicalisse is especially useful when dryness and irritation occur in several small areas, such as around the nose, lips, cheeks or body. A multi-purpose product can simplify the routine.

Avoid aggressive exfoliation when skin is already dry and flaky. Gentle cleansing, lukewarm water and consistent emollient care are generally more appropriate.

After shaving or hair removal, apply gently to intact skin without vigorous rubbing.

If skin is chronically inflamed, severely cracked, bleeding, weeping or repeatedly worsening, cosmetic care alone is not sufficient to determine and treat the cause.

The fragrance-free formula can be useful for sensitive skin, although individual reactions to any ingredient remain possible.
