YouTube Shorts video by Shereene Idriss reviewing Cicaplast Gel B5. The speaker notes the product contains glycerin and dimethicone, highlights that it carries an FDA drug facts panel because it’s marketed as a skin protectant, contrasts that with glycerin’s presence in many unlabeled products, and says they will buy and test the product and invites viewer questions.

So what do you think of this new product? Very interesting. I'm actually looking at it right now. The Cicaplast Gel B5 actually has glycerin at the level. And when I was looking at the back, I saw that it had a drug fact and I was a little confused because glycerin in many products, even at 100% you can buy like at Walgreens, CVS doesn't have a drug fact label, but when they market it as a skin protectant, it does. This one has dimethicone, which is a type of silicone. But guess what? It also has a drug fact panel as well because they are claiming it as a skin protectant. So when an ingredient is claimed to have a medical purpose for your skin, it requires a drug fact panel per the fda. But we know, you know, the nerds know that glycerin is in a bunch of products that don't have drug fact panels, but it goes to show that it does have skin protectant benefits. Let me know if you have any questions below. I'm going to buy this. I'll let you guys know what I think about it because I can't test it out over here.
