Product Description
CeraVe Healing Ointment is a petrolatum-based skin protectant with ceramides and hyaluronic acid that intensely soothes and repairs extremely dry, cracked, chapped, and chafed skin — holding the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance and developed with dermatologists for safe, daily use on even the most sensitive skin. The non-greasy, silky balm texture forms a breathable protective barrier over damaged skin while actively restoring the skin's natural moisture barrier with three essential ceramides, making it far more than a simple occlusive treatment.
Available in a generous 12 oz jar, this healing ointment is lanolin-free, fragrance-free, dye-free, preservative-free, and non-comedogenic — a comprehensive free-from list that makes it suitable for sensitive facial skin, dry cracked heels, rough elbows, dry knuckles, chapped lips, and cuticles. A thin layer applied at night over CeraVe Night Cream can enhance overnight barrier repair for severely dehydrated skin, and the hypoallergenic formula is safe for daily use on the face and body.
FAQ
Q1. What are the best uses for CeraVe Healing Ointment on very dry cracked skin and how often should I apply it?
Ans: CeraVe Healing Ointment is well-suited for extremely dry, cracked, and chafed skin on heels, elbows, knuckles, cuticles, chapped lips, and dry facial patches. Apply a small amount morning and night or as frequently as needed for comfort. For severely cracked heels and hands, a generous overnight application covered with cotton socks or gloves delivers the most effective deep repair while you sleep.
Q2. How does the combination of petrolatum and ceramides in CeraVe Healing Ointment repair cracked and damaged skin?
Ans: Petrolatum works as an occlusive agent that physically seals the skin surface to lock in moisture and protect damaged skin from friction and environmental exposure. Ceramides in CeraVe Healing Ointment go a step further by replenishing the natural lipids in the skin barrier that are depleted in dry or cracked skin. Together, they provide both surface-level protection and deeper structural barrier repair — which is why the ointment heals damaged skin more effectively than plain petroleum jelly alone.
Q3. Is CeraVe Healing Ointment safe for use on sensitive facial skin and on skin with eczema?
Ans: Yes, CeraVe Healing Ointment holds the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance and is specifically suited to eczema-prone and sensitive skin. It is lanolin-free, fragrance-free, dye-free, and preservative-free — making it one of the most gentle healing ointments available. It can be safely applied to dry facial patches, around the nose and lips, and on body areas affected by eczema as a barrier and moisture-sealing treatment.
Q4. How long does the 12 oz jar of CeraVe Healing Ointment last with daily targeted use?
Ans: With daily twice-daily application of a pea to fingertip-sized amount on targeted dry areas, a 12 oz jar of CeraVe Healing Ointment typically lasts 4 to 6 months for a single user. Because the formula is concentrated and a small amount covers each area effectively, the large jar size offers excellent long-term value compared to smaller tubes for anyone who uses a healing ointment regularly as part of their skincare routine.
Q5. What makes CeraVe Healing Ointment different from regular petroleum jelly and other healing balms in India?
Ans: Pure petroleum jelly is purely occlusive — it coats the skin surface but provides no active skin-rebuilding ingredients. CeraVe Healing Ointment combines petrolatum's barrier-sealing properties with three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid that structurally restore the skin barrier and draw moisture in. Additionally, its lanolin-free, preservative-free, and dye-free composition makes it far safer for sensitive skin than most healing balms, and the NEA Seal of Acceptance provides independent clinical validation that standard ointments do not carry.
