Repair balms have two well-deserved reputations: they work and they are very greasy. They sit on the skin for a long time, shiny, like that guest who can't seem to find the right moment to leave.
Acti Cica B5 does the same job but leaves right away. It is a balm with a light texture that absorbs very quickly, with no shine or white cast, and can be massaged gently onto irritated areas. Same effectiveness, much more comfortable. That is why we brought it in.
It is signed by Marie Drago, doctor of pharmacy and founder of Gallinée, the French brand that has been taking care of the skin microbiome since 2016. Her idea here is to work with the good bacteria on your skin so they produce more vitamin B5 on their own. According to the brand, up to five times more. She sums it up like this: "Repair should work with the skin, not against it."
It contains:
- 5% Panthenol: the precursor to vitamin B5. It soothes and helps the skin repair itself.
- Acti Prebiotic: a prebiotic obtained from fermented algae that feeds the microbiome.
- B5-Booster: Gallinée's innovation (patent pending) that stimulates the natural production of vitamin B5.
It is for the skin's daily needs: after waxing or shaving, after an aesthetic or dermatological treatment, for marks left by a breakout, chafing, and minor irritations. Suitable for sensitive and atopic-prone skin.
