Coronation Street actress Lucy Fallon credits this £19 multi-purpose balm with soothing her dermatitis-prone skin
Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon has recently shared a beauty recommendation with her Instagram followers that she says has “changed lives”, especially when it comes to managing her contact dermatitis.
Her hero product? The La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5. Designed to soothe, repair and protect sensitive skin, the rich yet non-greasy balm is a cult favourite among dermatologists and skincare lovers.
Lucy has shared that it’s the only product that has actually calmed her irritated skin during flare-ups, claiming that she hopes it “never changes”.
Formulated with panthenol (vitamin B5), glycerin and cicaplast, the balm supports the skin barrier while reducing the look of redness and dryness. And despite its thick texture, it doesn’t actually feel heavy or clogging.

The balm is priced at £11 for the 40ml bottle, £19.50 for the larger 100ml bottle, with the 100ml size actually on sale at Superdrug for £15.59.
The affordable and accessible price tag proves that sometimes the most effective skincare buys don’t need to come with a luxury cost.
If you’re after more insider recommendations on soothing, hydrating skincare buys, Maura Higgins’ MUA, Suzy Clarke, swears by this nourishing K-beauty moisturiser that hydrates without clogging pores thanks to being non-comedogenic.
The Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream, priced at £26, is trusted by millions in Korea, and with one selling every 20 seconds, the moisturising formula promises up to 120 hours of hydration for the skin. It’s infused with many skin-loving ingredients, but the secret is that it is packed full of ceramides that helps to retain moisture and protect against external pollutants.
Alternatively, if you’re looking to achieve that hydrated ‘glass skin’ look, without a using a product so thick, it may be worth trying out a milky toner. My personal favourites include BYOMA’s Hydrating Milky Toner, Curel’s Moisture Facial Milk and Beauty of Joseon’s Glow Replenishing Rice Milk.
