Cica Cream SPF30

Sensimed Cica Cream SPF30 is BIOSAR's calming protective cream for visibly reactive skin. Centella Asiatica calms surface redness; Niacinamide strengthens the barrier and supports a more even tone; broad-spectrum SPF30 filters help shield against UVA and UVB exposure. Use it every morning as the final step for skin recovering from active treatments, post-procedure care, or stress flares. The texture is cushiony but not heavy, and pairs well under makeup. Tolerance-tested under dermatological supervision. Pairs with the Sensimed Cleansing Foaming Gel and Serenvit Cica Serum.

Ingredient Research

Active ingredients backed by published studies

  • −25%

    One application of a cream with ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids and other moisturisers lowered water loss from healthy forearm skin by about 25% at 2 hours and 22% up to 24 hours, against baseline (n=10). A pilot by the cream's maker.
