A: Hello M! The term non-comedogenic indicates that the product has a low potential for clogging pores. The presence or absence of oil in a product does not mean a product will or will not be non-comedogenic. Not all products are tested for non-comedogenicity. If the non-comedogenic claim does not appear on the product, it is not an indication the product is comedogenic.

A: I used II used this on my lips and it clogged pores around my lips :/

Thank you again for taking the time to reach out. We hope you will try our products soon!

A: Hello Amy Gerhart. Great question! Yes, CeraVe Healing Ointment can generally be used on your back, especially if you have very dry, chapped, or compromised skin that needs intensive moisture protection. Because petrolatum creates a protective barrier to lock in hydration, it's great for dry patches on the body. However, since petrolatum is very rich and occlusive, keep a few things in mind if you're applying it to your back: Acne-Prone Skin: If your back is prone to body breakouts or acne, heavy ointments can sometimes trap sweat and oil, potentially clogging pores. Application: A little goes a long way, and applying it to slightly damp skin can help lock in moisture even better. We hope this information is helpful and you can use our products with great success! Thank you for your interest in CeraVe!

A: Hello Sunny. Thank you for your interest in CeraVe Healing Ointment. Using CeraVe Healing Ointment on a fresh sunburn is not recommended because it can trap heat and worsen the pain. However, it can be highly beneficial once the burn has cooled down and entered the peeling phase. We hope this information is helpful. Thank you again for taking the time to reach out.

A: Hello there. Our Healing Ointment is a wonderfully versatile product, designed to protect and soothe compromised skin. It's formulated to temporarily protect minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, and to relieve chapped or cracked skin. It can be applied generously to areas of dry, chapped, or irritated skin to help restore the skin's barrier and provide lasting moisture. For any specific medical concerns or questions about using the ointment on sensitive areas, we always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional to ensure it's the right choice for your individual needs.

A: Hello Ness! Thank you for asking about using our Healing Ointment on your eyelids. Our CeraVe Healing Ointment is specifically formulated to protect, soothe, and hydrate very dry, chafed, or cracked skin, helping to restore the skin's natural barrier with ingredients like petrolatum, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid. It is a very rich and emollient product. The skin around the eyes, especially the eyelids, is exceptionally delicate and sensitive. While the ointment is designed to be gentle and non-irritating, we always recommend exercising caution when applying any product directly to the eyelid area. For precise guidance and to ensure it's suitable for your specific needs, particularly given the sensitivity of the eyelids, we advise consulting with a dermatologist or healthcare professional. They can provide the best recommendation for using products in such a delicate area.

A: Hello Mzthang! The key difference between CeraVe Healing Ointment and CeraVe Baby Healing Ointment lies in their intended use and slight formulation variations. While both ointments share a similar base of petrolatum and ceramides to protect and hydrate the skin, the Baby Healing Ointment is specifically formulated for babies' delicate skin and may be slightly gentler. The standard Healing Ointment is suitable for a wider range of skin concerns and can be used by people of all ages, particularly for dry, cracked, or irritated skin. Both are fragrance-free and hypoallergenic but consider the baby version for extra sensitive skin. Checking the full ingredient list on each product can further clarify any differences.
