Healing Ointment, Hydrating Skin Protectant With Petrolatum, Hyaluronic Acid & Ceramides, Face & Body Skin Barrier Repair For Cracked, Chafed, Dry Skin, Fragrance Free & Lanolin Free, 12 Oz

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.

CeraVe Healing Ointment has become a staple in my skincare routine. It’s incredibly soothing and does an amazing job at locking in moisture, especially on dry patches, chapped lips, and irritated skin. A little goes a long way, and it creates a protective barrier without feeling heavy or irritating. I love that it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin. I’ve used it overnight on dry areas and wake up with noticeably softer, calmer skin. It’s also great for hands, cuticles, and even minor skin irritation. If you struggle with dryness or need something reliable to protect and repair your skin barrier, this is absolutely worth keeping on hand. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

CeraVe Healing Ointment is amazing for my lips. I’ve tried tons of lip balms — Vaseline, Burt’s Bees, even Aquaphor — but this one just works better. It keeps my lips soft, hydrated, and protected for hours without feeling greasy. I also use it on dry spots anywhere — cuticles, hands, and patches of skin in winter. It locks in moisture and heals fast. If you want a comparison, I’d say CeraVe vs. Aquaphor is like Pepsi vs. Coke or Amazon vs. Walmart — both are good, but for me, CeraVe wins most time. It spreads smoothly, feels light, and lasts all day. Seriously, toss the other lip balms and grab this — you won’t regret it.

This ointment is very thick and moisturizing. We read that this brand is one that does not disrupt the skin microbiome (for eczema). We threw away the Aveeno and started using this and it's been great. It is very greasy, so you'll want to make sure you protect sheets and nice clothing or give it time to soak into the skin first.

Nice and works well. Not sure if generic petroleum jelly would be just as effective not to mention cheaper.

Great for the winter times. Really helps lock in the moisture on the skin and is highly suited for cracked/dry skin. The consistency is how you would describe petroleum jelly feel which is great because a small amount goes a long ways. I use it on my feet, after I shower, and especially on my hands and elbows to help lock in moisture. It’s not heavy if you use an appropriate amount. There is no scent to it and it’s easy to apply. Like i said, it’s got a petroleum jelly feel which i like because it lasts longer than moisturizer/lotion. Overall great product for those trying to keep the skin moisturized and protected from the elements such as the cold.. (we all know the cold can really cause dry/cracked hands. I even use it as chapstick. Love it.

It’s great for stubborn excema and skin flares. I tried everything under the sun for my little one and this WORKS. It takes a few days to work but it’s wonderful, great ingredients with no added irritation. This product also compliments skincare “slugging” and seals in extra moisture and protects skin. Once it absorbs its not sticky or greasy

CeraVe Healing Ointment is amazing for very dry skin, especially during the winter. It deeply moisturizes and helps repair the skin barrier without feeling heavy or irritating. A little goes a long way, and it works great on dry hands, cracked skin, lips, and rough patches. It’s gentle, fragrance-free, and keeps skin soft and protected even in cold, dry weather. Definitely a winter essential.
