My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit CICA-Stick healing and cleansing of the brand A-Derma is primarily intended for fragile, irritated skin or skin prone to minor superficial lesions. Its formula targets skin repair, soothing, and protection of damaged areas, whether in adults, children, or infants. My expert opinion is that this stick perfectly meets the needs of sensitive skin, particularly in cases of localized dryness, chapping, redness, or everyday irritation. The stick texture allows for precise and hygienic application, ideal for localized areas.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key ingredients stand out in this formula. First, Rhealba® Oat Extract, known for its soothing and anti-irritant properties, promotes the repair of the skin barrier. Next, zinc oxide plays a cleansing and protective role, forming a barrier film that isolates the skin from external aggressions while limiting bacterial proliferation. Finally, copper (in the form of sulfate) complements the purifying action and contributes to tissue regeneration. The combination of these active ingredients, reinforced by nourishing plant oils, makes this stick highly effective on damaged skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this stick locally, 2 to 3 times a day, on clean, dry skin. It can be used morning and evening, as needed. It is compatible with most moisturizing and soothing skincare products, but I recommend avoiding immediate use with exfoliating or irritating active ingredients (acids, retinoids) on the same area. This stick can be incorporated into the routine for atopic skin or after skin damage (cold, friction, post-waxing).

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

A-Derma's CICA-Stick Repairing and Soothing Stick stands out for its tolerance, practicality, and effectiveness on superficial irritations. Its minimalist formula limits the risk of allergies. The only downside is that the texture can leave a slight white film due to the zinc oxide, but this reinforces the protection. In conclusion, it is a safe and effective ally for the whole family.
