CeraVe Healing Ointment is a dermatologist-developed, petrolatum-based balm designed to soothe, protect, and hydrate extremely dry, cracked, or chafed skin. It features three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid to restore the skin barrier, creating a non-greasy, non-comedogenic, and fragrance-free seal for up to eight hours.
Key Features and Benefits
- Intense Protection: Contains petrolatum, acting as an occlusive to lock in moisture and protect against dryness caused by wind or cold.
- Skin Barrier Restoration: Formulated with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) to help restore and maintain the skin’s natural barrier.
- Hydration Boost: Contains hyaluronic acid, which attracts moisture to the skin’s surface.
- Non-Greasy Feel: Despite being an ointment, it has a “silky” texture that feels lightweight, unlike traditional petroleum jelly.
- Gentle and Safe: Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), lanolin-free, preservative-free, and fragrance-free, making it suitable for sensitive and eczema-prone skin.
