CeraVe Healing Ointment Skin Protectant / CeraVe Healing Ointment Protects and Soothes Cracked Skin / CeraVe Healing Ointment for Dry, Cracked Skin Relief, Face & Body
CeraVe
Overview
CeraVe Healing Ointment is highly effective for its stated purpose as a skin protectant and moisturizer. The primary ingredient, petrolatum, is clinically proven to form an occlusive barrier, and the addition of multiple ceramides significantly enhances skin barrier repair and hydration. The combination of ingredients supports both immediate relief and long-term skin health.
The Good
Highly effective in protecting and soothing dry, cracked, and chafed skin.
Contains a high concentration of petrolatum, a gold standard occlusive agent.
Formulated with multiple ceramides crucial for skin barrier repair and hydration (Ceramide NP, AP, EOP).
The Bad
May feel greasy or heavy due to its occlusive nature, which some users might find undesirable.
Not suitable for use on deep or puncture wounds, or serious burns without medical consultation, as clearly stated on the label.
Potential for comedogenic effects for individuals prone to breakouts if used heavily on acne-prone areas, though dimethicone helps to mitigate this to some extent.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals with extremely dry, chapped, chafed, or cracked skin, including those with eczema or sensitive skin. Suitable for all ages.
Skip If: You have a known allergy to any of the listed ingredients, or if you prefer a non-occlusive, lighter moisturizer.
