Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe Healing Ointment provides intense, long-lasting moisturization and helps protect, soothe and relieve extremely dry, cracked and chafed skin. This lanolin-free, non-greasy formula is designed to hydrate and soothe very dry skin. It temporarily protects and helps relieve chafed, chapped, or cracked skin, making it suitable for cracked heel repair and as a dry skin face moisturizer. CeraVe Healing Ointment forms a physical barrier on the skin’s surface that can help protect injured or exposed skin from external irritants and enhance the skin’s natural barrier function for up to eight hours. Formulated with petrolatum, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides, it helps restore the skin’s protective barrier and lock in moisture. It is also suitable as a foot balm for dry, cracked feet and provides soothing benefits as an anti chafe balm.
• Suitable for all skin types, adults and young adults (18+). Unisex

• Hypoallergenic, Non-greasy, and Non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog your pores)

• FSA / HSA Eligible
How To Use: Apply to face and body as needed to temporarily protect and help relieve dry, cracked, and chafed skin, including cuticles, knuckles, elbows, knees, heels, and even lips.

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: Can this ointment be used near the eyes?
submitted by Helen - 7 days ago
A: Hello Helen! We understand your inquiry about using our Healing Ointment near the delicate eye area. This ointment is thoughtfully formulated with gentle ingredients like petrolatum, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides, and is free from common irritants, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Indeed, many individuals find our CeraVe Healing Ointment beneficial for dryness or flakiness, even on areas like the eyelids, and it is designed to hydrate without stinging. However, as the skin around the eyes is particularly delicate, we always recommend proceeding with a gentle touch. Should you experience any irritation, we would advise discontinuing use. For very specific concerns or heightened sensitivities around the eyes, our dedicated CeraVe Eye Repair Cream is specifically formulated and ophthalmologist-tested for that area, offering targeted care.

My husband who has severe psoriasis has been using this healing ointment for the past 2 weeks & with in days he's started to clear up. We have tried so many different options nothing with result like this for a low price. It doesn't smell bad either.

Great to minimize scarring
Great for minor cuts and healing. Used this and the cut healed without a large scar or color changes. I prefer the squeeze tube to be cleaner. Lasts a long time too

Skin barrier hero
CeraVe Healing Ointment This ointment is a true skin savior! It has a rich, protective texture that deeply hydrates without feeling too greasy. I love that it’s lanolin-free and suitable even for sensitive skin. I use it on dry patches, cracked skin, and even as an overnight treatment for extra moisture – and it works wonders every time. It soothes irritation, locks in hydration, and helps restore the skin barrier thanks to the ceramides and hyaluronic acid. A little goes a long way, and the jar lasts forever. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with dry, compromised skin or just in need of a reliable healing ointment. It’s a must-have in my skincare routine!

AMAZING but a bit greasy
Super hydrating and super smooth, but it does leave a greasy after feel which I'm not really a fan of BUT given how amazing this product is I can over look it. I get really dry and cracked skin on my calves during the winter and I literally am *dusty*, this provides instant relief and makes my skin feel so smooth after a night of absorbing.

Great ointment, but hard to squeeze out
Great product! Works every bit as well as the kind in the tub. Protects without feeling greasy like some other ointments do. However, only get this if you have good hand strength to squeeze it out of the tube. If hand strength is a problem, you're better off with the tub. But this does give the same level of quality in a much more portable format.

This is the new skin product!
I’ve been using CeraVe Healing Ointment, and it’s been great for dry, cracked skin, cuts, and minor burns. It’s fragrance-free, so it’s perfect for sensitive skin. The texture is thick but absorbs pretty well, leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturized without being too greasy. The packaging is simple and easy to use, whether you get the tube or jar. Overall, it’s been super reliable and effective for me.

Ointment changed to oil
I bought a tube of CereBe Healing Oil in December.. Tonight (August), I opened the tube and oil ran out - a lot of it! I do not know what would cause this as it has been stored in a climate controlled space. I was happy with the product until this happened.

Hello N22M! Thank you for sharing your experience with the Healing Ointment. We are truly sorry to hear about the issue you encountered with the product separating, especially after it had been stored carefully in a climate-controlled space. We understand how disappointing this must be, especially as you had been happy with the ointment previously. Our Healing Ointment is carefully formulated with a unique blend of petrolatum, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid to provide intense, long-lasting moisturization and help protect and restore the skin's barrier. While such occurrences of product separation are quite rare, the stability of our formulations is something we continuously monitor and refine. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, as it helps us to understand real-world experiences and uphold the high standards of quality and consistency you expect from CeraVe. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

The Skin Barrier’s Ride or Die
This stuff is like bubble wrap for your face. It’s protective, cushiony, and ready to save the day. My chapped lips are fixed and my dry knuckles are saved. That random irritated patch that popped up out of nowhere is handled. It’s thick but not greasy-greasy, melts right in, and somehow makes my skin feel instantly calmer. No weird smell, no drama, just ceramides and hydration showing up like the loyal friends they are. Basically a security blanket in a tube. If my skin could write thank-you notes, this would get one.

CeraVe Healing Ointment 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
If I could give this more than five stars, I would. The CeraVe Healing Ointment has become an absolute staple in my routine — and honestly, I recommend it to everyone. Packaging: Clean, clinical, and practical. Whether you get the squeeze tube or the big tub, it’s easy to use and great for at-home or on-the-go. I personally love the tube version for its convenience and mess-free application. Texture & Scent: It’s rich and thick, but spreads easily and melts into the skin. Yes, it’s occlusive — but it’s not sticky or heavy like old-school petroleum jellies. It’s fragrance-free, which is a huge win if you’re sensitive or using it on irritated skin, lips, or even baby-safe spots. Ingredients: This stuff is packed with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and petrolatum (the good kind!). It’s designed to restore your skin barrier and protect moisture — and it delivers. I’ve used it on dry hands, cracked cuticles, post-retinol irritation, lips, even healing tattoos. It does it all. Price: Affordable and accessible — especially considering how multi-use it is. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts forever. My Love for It: I truly don’t go a day without using this. It’s the final step in my nighttime skincare routine, a must-have for cold weather, and the best “slugging” product out there if you’re dealing with compromised skin. It’s dermatologist-recommended for a reason — and now I’m recommending it too. CeraVe Healing Ointment is incredibly effective — it locks in moisture, soothes irritation instantly, and helps visibly restore the skin barrier within just a few uses. If you’re looking for something to heal, protect, and deeply hydrate — this is your holy grail.

It’s good, not amazing
I honestly was not super impressed with this. It does feel good and there’s not much of an odor- both positives- but it seems to wear off a little too soon in my opinion.

Soothing
Been using this for a few weeks now, it’s the Cerave Advanced Repair Ointment. It’s like a balm, soothing when you apply it and fragrance free. I have mainly used it on my lips, heels, sunburn - it’s so versatile and really supports the skin barrier as well as helping nourish dry skin #lorealistaruk

Great for healing
This is nice for healing ointment. There’s no scent and it’s like Vaseline. Only thing I don’t like is you have to put your hands in the tub to get any out. I wish they had a spoon that came with so it was cleaner. Great value for your money!
