A bargain beauty buy is going viral on TikTok after acne-sufferers say it cleared their breakout up ‘overnight’. Scrolling the app for myself, I’ve saved more than a dozen videos praising the product in the last 24 hours - and it’s extremely affordable.
The product everyone is desperate to get their hands on is the La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 multi-purpose repairing balm, and it’s proven so popular that it’s already sold out at Boots and on Amazon.
But worry not - you can still get your hands on it at LookFantastic , where it’s priced at only £8 for a 40ml tube. At the moment, shoppers can also get 5% off almost everything using the discount code ‘5OFF’ at the checkout, making it £7.40.

TikTok creators have been sharing videos using the balm, which recently underwent a formula revamp for ‘better and faster repair’ of skin concerns like acne scars and marks. But many are saying that it helps clear up spots in less than 24 hours.
A user who goes by the name ‘intuituvehippie’ said: “La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm to quickly heal my breakouts has changed my life. The superior cream to heal breakouts.”
Bambi Does Beauty also demonstrated how she uses the balm, writing: “The ultimate spot cream hack. If you’re having skin problems I feel bad for you son, I’ve got 99 problems but breakout ain’t one.”
Another user called Lauren penned: “Applying La Roche Posay Cicaplast to your breakouts so they heal overnight.”
The clips have racked up more than nine million views between them, with shoppers rushing to buy the skincare saviour for themselves.
The Cicaplast Balm is said to be very good for sensitive, dry or irritated skin, including dry skin flare-ups, dry or rough patches, and even chapped and cracked skin. People have been using a small amount of the product dotted on their face to clear up blemishes, leaving more than 200 five star reviews on the Boots website.
Maya said: “I am only on day two using this product as it has worked wonders already. It feels so gentle on my face and easy to apply… All in all, my skin has healed massively.”
VB04 added: “This cream is amazing. I have sensitive, acne prone skin (even though I’m nearly the big 5 0). My skin was feeling sore and after reading an article realised that I’d completely destroyed the skin barrier using all sorts of lotions and potions.
“Bought this and it sank into my skin and felt like a velvet blanket healing and calming my face. Also use this on my hands and arms which get dry. Won’t be without this from now on.”
