Key Features:

1. Hyaluronic Acid:

   • Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that attracts moisture to the skin and helps retain hydration, keeping the skin plump and hydrated. It also supports the skin's natural moisture barrier and enhances skin's elasticity and smoothness.

2. Petrolatum (Petroleum Jelly):

   • Petrolatum (commonly known as petroleum jelly) is a key ingredient in this ointment. It helps form a protective barrier on the skin to seal in moisture, preventing further dehydration. This makes it especially beneficial for extremely dry or cracked skin that needs an added layer of protection and healing.

3. Ceramides:

   • Ceramides are lipids (fats) that are naturally present in the skin's outer layer. They help to strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture, preventing water loss. CeraVe's healing ointment contains ceramide 1, 3, and 6-II, which work together to restore the skin’s natural barrier function.

4. Non-Comedogenic:

   • The formula is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores or contribute to breakouts. This makes it safe for use on both the face and body, even for those with acne-prone skin.

5. Fragrance-Free:

   • This ointment is fragrance-free, making it suitable for sensitive skin or anyone who is sensitive to fragrances in skincare products.

6. Dermatologist-Tested:

   • CeraVe products are often tested by dermatologists to ensure their safety and effectiveness for various skin types and concerns.

Benefits:

• Hydrates and Moisturizes: Helps replenish and retain moisture in the skin, making it ideal for dry, rough patches, and cracked skin.

• Repairs and Heals: It’s designed to promote the healing of compromised skin by sealing in moisture and creating a barrier that shields the skin from external irritants.

• Soothes Irritation: Ideal for irritated, chapped, or sunburned skin, as it provides immediate relief and helps to calm discomfort.

• Restores Skin Barrier: By strengthening the skin’s natural barrier, it prevents further moisture loss, which is key to overall skin health.

• Versatile Use: Can be used on various parts of the body (lips, hands, feet, elbows, etc.) to address dryness or irritation. It’s also suitable for use on areas where the skin is particularly delicate, such as around the eyes.

How to Use:

1. For Dry Skin: Apply a thin layer to the affected area(s) and gently massage it into the skin.

2. For Cracked Skin: For especially dry or cracked areas, apply a thicker layer of the ointment and allow it to absorb or leave it on overnight for deeper hydration and repair.

3. For Lips: Apply to dry or cracked lips to relieve discomfort and keep them moisturized.

4. For Hands and Feet: Apply liberally to your hands or feet, especially during the colder months or after washing them frequently.

5. Use as Needed: This ointment can be used daily or as needed to maintain hydrated, healthy skin.

Ideal For:

• Dry, cracked, and chapped skin.

• Sensitive skin that needs soothing and healing.

• Skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis.

• Chapped lips, dry elbows, or cracked heels.

• Post-procedure skin care for recovery (such as after chemical peels or laser treatments).

Additional Tips:

• Use at night for an overnight treatment. Apply a thicker layer to severely dry areas before bed and let it work while you sleep.

• Pair with other CeraVe products: For even more hydration, use this ointment after applying a CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser or CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion.

• For areas of extreme dryness, such as elbows or knees, apply the ointment regularly to maintain hydration.
