CeraVe 590401 Healing Ointment with Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides for Protecting and Soothing Cracked, 5 oz

Product Information

Aquaphor is commonly recommended for fresh tattoos that need to be kept moisturised and bandaged. This is because it has hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties and can speed up the healing process. Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe healing ointment provides intense, long lasting moisturisation and helps protect, soothe, and relieve extremely dry chapped and chafed skin. CeraVe healing ointment combines a non-greasy feel with skin identical ceramides. For refilled products in the store, the most up to date list of ingredients should be obtained locally after refill of the product on the point of sale). CeraVe focuses on the science of ceramides to formulate skin care that builds strength and resilience. Using an innovative combination of 3 essential ceramides, CeraVe skin care helps you to achieve healthier, stronger skin from the very first use. So, what are ceramides? Hyaluronic acid: I like to think of hyaluronic acid like a sponge for your skin. It soaks up the hydration and prevents moisture loss, so your skin looks and feels plump and hydrated.

Ceramides: One of the main skin-loving ingredients in this ointment is ceramides. Ceramides are naturally found on the outermost layer of our skin and are responsible for protecting it from damage and are essential for your skin's moisture and hydration levels. CeraVe is a dermatologist-developed cult skincare brand which hails from the US. The CeraVe story began in 2005 after experts noticed that many skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dry skin all had one thing in common: a compromised skin barrier.

Although both products have soothing properties to calm irritated skin, the CeraVe Healing Ointment is probably the better choice if you have eczema-prone skin.

In fact, they’re the only brand that uses this combination to create highly effective and affordable skin care. CeraVe’s MVE technology lets the ceramide-rich products continually release into the skin, slowly allowing the ingredients to get to work replenishing your natural barrier during and after use. From CeraVe cleansers and moisturising creams to its cult CeraVe healing ointment, choose skin care that continues to work all day to strengthen your skin. The active ingredient in both products is petroleum jelly (also called petrolatum) but they have slightly different concentrations: CeraVe Healing Ointment contains 46.5% petroleum jelly and Aquaphor contains 41%. and make up 50% of the skin’s barrier, helping to fill in the gaps between your skin cells to help your skin protect you.
