CeraVe Healing Ointment 5 oz with Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides for Protecting and Soothing Cracked, Chafed Skin

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!

My search for moisturiser for my extreme dry skin ends here

It’s an amazing ointment. Wow , there was nothing that I don’t use it for….. almost my whole body 😊. It’s not greasy , don’t leave any sticky feeling. Very good for lips at night (better than many high end products) for my body , hands even sometimes my feet …. Well, you might laugh at this, but I sometimes but under my breast to keep the sweat during my work out, and it does work. Great product with good price… and I love it

Better than vasiline and can be used under the eyes

ok

I love it so much for my atopic and dry skin.that’s my second time buying this product.

Very good. I used this every time I had my co2 laser treatments.

It's okay, I felt it's like Vaseline, but brought it since it mentions that it has ceramides to heal to skin barrier. It will take me a long time to finish this tube.

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.

I ordered the 5 oz tube of CeraVe Healing Ointment, which is the “new and improved” formula. I’ve used the older version for years, so I was curious to see if I would notice any real differences. The texture is the first thing I noticed. This version feels a bit thicker and creamier going on. It still has that classic heavy, occlusive petrolatum feel, but it also comes across slightly tackier and a little more set on the skin, whereas the older version felt more like it just sat on top and was a bit more slick. Comparing the ingredient lists, there are some clear formulation changes. The petrolatum content has been increased from 46.5% to 49.5%, and the supporting base has shifted a bit, with newer ingredients like microcrystalline wax, synthetic wax, glycerin, caprylyl glycol, and sodium hyaluronate, while some older components like dimethicone and phenoxyethanol have been removed. Functionally, it still does the same job, but the texture difference is noticeable in use. From what I understand, changes like this are often less about reinventing the product and more about improving texture stability, manufacturing consistency, and updating the formula to match current ingredient trends and marketing preferences. In practice, it feels like a slightly heavier, more adhesive version of the original rather than a completely different product. One thing I can already comment on from experience is that the older formula tended to separate a bit toward the end of the tube, so I’m hoping this updated version holds together better over time. Functionally, it still performs very well. The base is still petrolatum, supported by ceramides (NP, AP, EOP), cholesterol, panthenol, phytosphingosine, and other barrier-supporting ingredients. It remains one of the most effective occlusives I’ve used for dry, irritated skin. One important personal note: CeraVe is not cruelty-free, as it is owned by L’Oréal. This is the one product I still choose to purchase knowing that, because I haven’t found another occlusive that works quite as well for my skin. I don’t love compromising on that, but in this case the performance has been hard to replace. Overall, I still think it’s an excellent healing ointment. The changes feel more like a texture and formulation refinement than a dramatic improvement, but it still earns its place in my routine. Price at time of review: $11.97
