Healing Ointment

My dermatologist turned me on to this and I couldn't be happier with the results! It covers, protects & keeps the blisters/scrapes moisturized while they heal. Great value for the money. I apply it gently with a q-tip or wooden "spoon" twice a day with no irritation nor any inflamation. Fragrance free, easily absorbed (not greasy!) and it helps minimize the scarring. Good product!

I purchased this CeraVe Healing Ointment for my 1.5-year-old son, who has eczema-prone skin, and it has worked really well for us as a daily moisturizer and skin protectant. The texture is thick and occlusive, which helps lock in moisture, especially after bath time. I apply a thin layer to areas that tend to get dry or irritated, and it helps keep his skin soft and comfortable without causing any stinging or redness. What I really appreciate is that it’s fragrance-free and gentle, which is important for sensitive toddler skin. While it’s not greasy once absorbed, it provides long-lasting hydration and helps reduce dryness that can trigger flare-ups. Overall, this has become a staple in our routine for managing dry, eczema-prone skin, and I feel confident using it regularly on my child.

This ointment absolutely saved my skin. I had a bad reaction from tretinoin after accidentally applying it too close to my eyes, and my eyelids became extremely irritated—almost swollen shut. It was painful, tight, and honestly a little scary. I started using this, and within three days my skin was completely healed. The difference was incredible. It immediately soothed the irritation, reduced the swelling, and helped repair my skin barrier faster than anything I’ve ever tried. I have very sensitive skin, and this didn’t sting or cause any additional irritation at all. It’s simple, effective, and does exactly what it claims. A little goes a long way, and it creates the perfect protective layer while your skin heals. This is now a staple in my routine, especially when using actives like tretinoin. If your skin is compromised, irritated, or over-treated, this is something you want on hand. Total must-have.

I have really bad itchy eczema dry skin in the winter. For the past year or so it continued into the summer, so I have been dealing with this frustrating issue for quite a while. Sometimes it gets so bad I end up scratching my skin until it starts bleeding and I have been desperate for an affordable solution that doesn't involve doctor's appointments to fix. I've tried lotion after lotion after lotion. From CeraVe Intense Moisturizing lotion to Amlactin Intensive Healing lotion. Nothing had been working. After discovering that ointments are much better for constant skin irritation than your standard lotions, I bought this and I am so thankful that I did. For the first time ever, I have been able to see immediate improvement in my skin when I apply this at night. The itching is soothed so quickly after applying, and it helps me sleep instead of being kept up all night from scratching. It is so nice to wake up in the morning with little to no itching or burning. I would need to apply lotions 24/7 to even see a fraction of the results I see from this in just two nights. I am bad at consistent use of almost anything but when I go too long without using this it is very obvious which makes keeping up with consistent use so easy. Sometimes I even apply this to my lips at night before sleeping and it works so well for incredibly chapped winter lips if I do that for a couple nights. It may be a little sticky and the consistency is a little thick in comparison to lotion, but the results are well beyond worth it for me. I would recommend this to absolutely anyone with harsh painful itchy skin. It has been a miracle worker for me all winter long. The tub lasts quite a long while and a little goes a long way, so the size is perfect. And it doesn't have any noticeable scents or fragrances which makes it even more compatible for sensitive skin and people with sensitive noses which is a huge plus.

Not a big fan of ointments however CeraVe can be trusted. Not greasy but rather very lubricating. And totally fragrance free!

So the reason for the four stars and not five is the following. The description for this product states this does not leave a greasy feel or film. I have to disagree as it does leave a bit of a greasy film and feel. A little goes a very long way so start small and add more if you require it. This is what I do as I use this only for my hands due to sever dry hands from constant washing using a medicated hand wash for my skin condition that is only on my hands. This product works extremely good and is a life saver for my dry hand condition giving me hands that are soft again and do not feel like dry leather. I just started using this product on the date of this review as this is when I received it. I like it so much that I purchased the larger 12oz container for home and a 9oz container for taking with me when I'm out of the house to keep my hands feeling and looking their best. I do highly recommend this healing ointment as it does what is says with the exception of the greasy feel and film that it does leave on your skin. It is not a heavy amount but that will also depend on how much you use. I use a very light amount just enough to provide what I need for protect and hydrate my skin.

Great ointment, I from Utah and dry skin is very common. I put this all over my body even my face. Keeps my skin moist at least in the Utah weather, if you are in a different weather environment please test it first, it’s a thick consistency and might cause pimples for certain types of skin. For the price it’s worth it, and it last for months.

This is hands down one of the best occlusive "creams" out there to use for slugging, lip care, deep hydration after facial treatments that need skin protection. This lasts a long time also. This is great on the heels with fluffy socks on over night.

This ointment is really a miracle for itchy skin! I been using benzoyl peroxide cleanser and I follow up with my A ret cream after skin care which caused my skin to be extremely dry and itchy at night time, it’s really working amazingly without clogging my pores or breaking out my skin!

Can't do anything without this product it became a main step in my skincare routine. It treated my super dry skin.

Questa camma in tempo. Questo prodotto è favoloso io lo uso per le mie labbra secche ed è così rilassante e in realtà le mie labbra sono molto meno irritato durante il giorno ora. Lo adoro, comprerebbe di nuovo.

Debido a que tengo dermatitis de contacto en manos por el uso de gel antibacterial en pandemia, el dermatologo me recetó aquaphore, el cual he usado ya bastante tiempo y me ha resultado digamos que bien, vi que ya vendían esta crema en México y decidí pedirla, tenía ya rato con una herida en mi mano debido al frío y la resequedad que no había podido sanar, tengo apenas como una semana que empecé con esta crema y me ha dejado sorprendida, aunque es más grasa que aquaphore pero se absorbe mejor y la humectacion se siente más y dura más tiempo, mi herida y mis brotes de dermatitis se han quitado, siento mis manos suaves, humectadas. Super recomendable, superó mis expectativas.
