OINTMENT VS CREAM - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
There are three main types of moisturizers: lotions, creams, and ointments. Generally speaking, lotions tend to be the most lightweight moisturizer option, followed by creams, and then ointments—which are usually the thickest and most occlusive. Many people with dry skin choose to include both creams and ointments in their skincare routine. For example, you can apply CeraVe Moisturizing Cream first to help relieve dry skin all over your face and body. Next, CeraVe Healing Ointment can be applied to help provide soothing benefits and targeted relief for chafed or cracked areas (such as chapped lips, cracked heels, and dry hands).

Advanced repair balm that acts deeply on severely

This night repair balm is one of the best I've tried. Thanks to its fast effectiveness, the skin on my hands is repaired and hydrated in a matter of hours. It's helped me a lot since my hands are dry and prone to cracking. However, thanks to this balm, my hands look healthy. It contains three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid that instantly restore the skin barrier. The texture is oily and takes a while to absorb, so the product isn't perfect. It has a light fragrance without perfume.
Best lotion I’ve ever used!

I had a severe reaction to tretinoin. I put this on there and after 1 application the redness and itching was gone! I'm continuing to use it because it combats dryness and flakiness on my face.

Just Vaseline !!! Fraud

I strongly do not recommend this product. It’s by far the worst thing I’ve ever bought for this price. It’s basically overpriced Vaseline with no moisturizing effect or any visible results. Very disappointing! I had tried a few CeraVe products before and liked them, but after this fraud, I won’t be buying anything from this brand again. To me, Vaseline feels even less greasy and sticky, more like a gel, while this is just pure sticky grease. Ugh!

While there are several other CeraVe products I use and LOVE, I don’t understand the hype about this one. You may as well buy a tube of Vaseline for less $$$. It does the same thing. Not a fan of the squeeze tubing because it is SUPER hard to get the product to come out. And especially hard if it is even slightly cold.

Cerave healing ointment is a LIFESAVER! I cannot recommend this stuff enough. If you’ve ever had a child with chapped, red cheeks in the winter, use this. Immediately. It has given so much relief to my kids, I’m so thankful I found it. I’ve also used it on my son’s eczema on his legs and it clears up the rough patches. The consistency is like that of petroleum jelly, and is fairly unscented. But it is thick and leaves a slight residue on your hands, but I would expect that from a product like this. Because you don’t need it all the time, or in massive quantities, it lasts forever!
Amazing healing

Winter Skincare Savior: A Non-Comedogenic Alternat

I have dry skin in the winter, and this product has been a lifesaver. I use it every night on my face during the colder months, and by morning, my skin feels deeply moisturized and ready for the day ahead. The texture and application are quite similar to petroleum jelly, but I’d describe it as a non-comedogenic alternative to Vaseline, making it a great option for those worried about clogged pores.
Excellent all around product

The gold standard for locking in moisture. Especially during the colder months, I wear this every night on my lips and nose. On my spa nights I layer Cerave ointment last on top of my serums to lock down everything. Keeps my skin plump, hydrated. Also, during the winter I use on my elbows, heels, and knuckles and it keeps my skin from chapping in the cold.

I love this. It's an amazing skin protectant and has added cermides to aid your skin repairing itself. I use it on cuts, my face, even my feet to keep them soft and smooth!

This is an absolute must-have in my skincare routine. I know some people don’t like the feel of an oily or heavy cream on their face, but if you can get past that, it works wonders to heal bumps and scars. At first, I was hesitant because I thought it might clog my pores, but it’s actually the opposite! If you have dry skin, especially during the winter, this is a game-changer!!

I was so excited to try out this new addition, especially with my skin struggling so badly in the cold, dry Edmonton weather as of late. My legs, in particular, have been suffering from dryness, itchiness, and irritation. To my surprise, this healing ointment worked wonders overnight, calming them down completely. I've typically avoided ointment-type products due to their greasiness and stickiness, but this formula is fantastic. It's completely non-greasy and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. The added bonus of a travel-sized version makes it perfect for on-the-go use. I haven't experienced any issues since incorporating it into my skincare routine!
CeraVe Healing Ointment is a rich, non-greasy balm

CeraVe Healing Ointment is an absolute must-have for anyone dealing with dry, irritated, or sensitive skin. Its thick, balm-like consistency creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture and helps heal the skin without feeling overly greasy. What sets it apart is the inclusion of ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which not only soothe the skin but also support the skin barrier and hydration. It’s great for treating cracked hands, chapped lips, eczema patches, or even as a spot treatment for rough areas like elbows and heels. I love that it’s fragrance-free and safe for sensitive skin, making it ideal for the whole family. It absorbs surprisingly well for such a rich ointment, leaving your skin soft and smooth. If you’re looking for a gentle yet powerful healing balm, this is definitely worth adding to your routine!
Amazing for nightly use!

I love this as an overnight lip moisturizer. It works so well! I ride motorcycles mostly all year and my lips need something that can handle the cold and the wind! It has no scent, the packaging does not leak, and I have noticed a lot smoother lips, no peeling, etc like I do with other products.
