CeraVe 590101 Healing Ointment with Petrolatum Ceramides for Protecting and Soothing Cracked, 12 oz

Cerave Healing Ointment lasts an impressively long time! It’s excellent for dry skin, absorbing quickly and leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated. I even use it on my face, and it leaves it feeling smooth and supple.

This is a fantastic product!I started purchasing this in the small 10g tubes and used mainly as a lip moisturiser. As I began to realise how versatile and effective the product is, I decided to buy the 340g tub.I would describe it as a ‘sophisticated’ petroleum jelly. It is a solid formula that melts in contact with the skin. It has a velvety texture that is very comforting. It is not scented, although there is a very faint whiff of petroleum jelly. When used as a lip balm it does not leave the lips glossy-looking - just healthy, smooth and moisturised.I particularly like that this contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid therefore, unlike plain petroleum jelly, these ingredients offer additional benefits.Very happy.

I have lupus and suffer with a butterfly rash on my cheeks as well as really sensitive skin. After using this ointment every night my face rash has reduced and feels less raw. The sun has not been as bright so this has also helped but I definitely feel like this ointment has helped alot and will continue to use it. I will update my review as and when the sun is bright to see the difference. It's expensive but I bought the big tub to save a little. If it continues to help it will be worth every penny. If my skin is feeling inflamed I also use it first thing in a morning to allow time for it to soak in before I have to apply any makeup. It's alot like vaseline only more solid in the tub but it does dissolve once applied and a little goes a long way.

The consistency is like vaseline and because it's very greasy you can only use it at night. It does the job as a 'surface protectant' so does allow healing overnight, but it has not stopped the itching or cleared up my skin. I've been using it on my hands at night where I have chronic ezcema, and its soothing at night but it just provides temporary relief. The expiry date is really short too for the size, theres 340g of product but expires in April 2024.

Delighted with this. Not readily available - but managed to get a tub. Great that it's a big one, though I note the expiry date is 08/2024 (so 6 months)These 2 knuckles have been like pic 1 for the past couple of years - sometimes cracking and bleeding. Doctor just thought it was due to cleaning product or something and gave me steroidal cream (no good) But after 3 days of using this, they're so much better (pic 2). I have high hopes!

My Daughter has suffered since she was born 16years ago with severe contact dermatitis... Patch tests have yet to answer what's causing it... we've been through the whole prescription list and brought many other ointments claiming to be the miracle cream...we've even tried vaseline and that was almost as bad as hydrolmol ointment. We noticed a clear improvement overnight, she's now been using this for 7 days and her skin is now starting to heal which hasn't happened in years. She uses this twice daily on her arms, neck and breast. But uses this on her hands and face as and when needed. Yes it's going cost us mega bucks and isn't available on prescription but it's the only stuff that really works for her. I'm now starting to try it on my pre menopause dry patches and I am getting instant relief.

this is basically just petroleum jelly, vaseline is cheaper. don’t waste your money!

I originally bought to try Slugging facial skin care routine, but a day or two after a waxing this became a must.Soothes, helps retain moisture and actively part of the healing process.Then skin graze after a fall, tripped over own feet, and skin tears everything else stung or restricted comfort, but this soothed, protected allowed movement in the skin and surrounding tissues and will forever be a part of my medicine cabinet.Even wound care nurse was impressed with wound improvement vs their inadine only approach.
