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).

Q: This is my first time using this product. The cream is so thick that it doesn't come out of the container without a lot of squeezing and it looks and feels like vaseline. Is this normal?
A: Yes, it looks and feels like Vaseline. It should come out of the tube somewhat thick but not as how you describe. I recommend exchanging, check the expiration date. I bought mine a few weeks back and the expiration date is 2021.

Q: Is this brand cruelty free? Peta certified? Sleeping bunny ? Do they hire a third-party to test on animals? Or sell to mainland China??
A: Hello Deb, Thank you for your interest in CeraVe Healing Ointment Skin Protectant, Soothes Dry, Cracked and Chafed Skin, Non-Greasy Unscented - 12oz. At L’Oréal, we care for animal welfare and do not test on animals. We are for a world without animal testing. Since 1989, we have not tested the safety of our products on animals, 14 years before regulations required us to do so. There are effective non-animal ways to ensure the safety of cosmetic products. For example, over 40 years ago, L’Oréal pioneered the development of human reconstructed skin that is more accurate for analyzing how cosmetic ingredients and products will behave on human skin. For over 10 years we have been working with the Chinese authorities to adopt non-animal methods for all cosmetic products. Over the past few years, China has removed the requirement to do any animal testing for the great majority of cosmetics sold in the country. Since 2014 shampoos, bath gels and many make up products made in China have not required animal testing. From the beginning of May 2021, some imported products no longer require animal testing with a safety certificate from their country of origin. At this time our products are not Peta Certified and our brand is not considered cruelty free because we are not Peta Certified. We hope this information has been helpful and that you can use our products with great success.
