TikTok is going wild over viral £8 cream that clears breakouts ‘overnight’

It’s safe to say nearly all of us have experienced pimples popping up every now and again, whether it’s down to hormones, junk food binges or just a random breakout spell. But, when you’ve got a stubborn outbreak, it can really knock your self-esteem.

Luckily, there are solutions out there, and there’s one bargain beauty buy in particular which is going viral on TikTok after acne-sufferers say it cleared their breakout up ‘overnight.’

The £8 La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 multi-purpose repairing balm recently sold out on Boots, but it’s back due to its popularity. If you're looking to stock up, there's currently 3 for 2 on all La Roche products at Boots, meaning you'll get the cheapest one for free.

You can also pick up the skincare must-have from LookFantastic here, and shoppers can get 5% off the 40ml tube with discount code ‘5OFF’, making it just £7.40 - how good is that?

Described as an ‘all-round skin saviour for the whole family,’ the dermatologically tested formula is said to be good for sensitive, dry or irritated skin. It’s even been known to clear up flare-ups, dry or rough patches, and chapped or cracked skin - making it an essential for when the cold weather hits.

The product has received over 200 five-star reviews on the Boots website alone, with shoppers calling it a ‘life saviour’ and the ‘best skin healer.’

One delighted customer who left a glowing review said: “This formula is truly amazing for redness, itching, irritation and everything that comes with sensitive skin.”

A second shopper wrote: “Fave product ever! This is my holy grail. I always use this after retinol and it makes my skin so nice and repairs the barrier!!”

While a third, calling it a ‘skin saviour’ said: “This cream is amazing. I have sensitive, acne prone skin. 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.”

You can buy the £8 La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 multi-purpose repairing balm here - but be quick as it's bound to sellout again.
