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?

submitted by Lodges Lady - 5 years ago
  • 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 cruelty free?

submitted by Jane - 18 days ago
  • A: Hello Jane Thank you for your interest in CeraVe Healing Ointment Skin Protectant, Soothes Dry, Cracked and Chafed Skin, Non-Greasy Unscented - 12oz. This product is not Cruelty Free Certified, however we do not test on animals. CeraVe is a brand of L’Oréal. 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. We hope this information was helpful and that you will try our products soon. Thank you for your enquiry.

Q: Does it leave a greasy feeling on skin?

submitted by keeping it simple - 2 months ago
  • A: Hello there! At CeraVe, our Healing Ointment is formulated to provide intense moisturization, so it does have a richer, more occlusive texture compared to our lotions or creams. While it doesn't typically leave a greasy feeling in the same way that some petroleum-based ointments might, it does create a protective barrier on the skin that can feel somewhat thicker. This barrier is essential for its effectiveness in protecting and healing dry, cracked, or irritated skin. If you're looking for a less occlusive option, our Moisturizing Cream might be a better choice for you.

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??

submitted by Deb - 5 months ago
  • 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.

It is very effective and feels nice on the skin. Packaging is beneficial to getting the product out. The scent is very clean and doesn't smell like fragrances. The ingredients are safe for sensitive skin but it is a little bit greasy.

I tried a little sample of the CeraVe at work, and the texture of the ointment is very smooth, oily, and lathers on very nicely. A little goes a long way, so if you buy the big bottle of this ointment, you will not run out for a while. Great for dry skin!

I have aged thin skin from the back of my hands to my elbows. I bruise easily. Every night before bed I use this marvelous healing ointment on my hands and arms. It not only gently protects my skin, it helps keep the brushing under control. It's fantastic for aged skin.

This stuff is everything you ever hoped and dreamed it would be. I use it for EVERYTHING from dry feet to slugging. If I have chapped lips I use this ointment. I put a layer on my feet over a good lotion and then a pair of bamboo socks and go to bed only to wake up with super soft feet. My boyfriend is a commercial painter and he uses some horrible chemicals without gloves and this fixes his peeling, red, and painful hands that no longer have fingerprints until this ointment heals them. I recommend this to everyone. It’s also a wonderful skin barrier for your baby when they have a diaper rash. Winter dry patches don’t stand a chance with this around. I even keep a tube in my purse. Go get some. You definitely need it.

CeraVe Healing Ointment is a lifesaver for dry, irritated skin. I use it daily on my kids and myself. It contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which help restore and protect the skin barrier. The texture is rich but not greasy, and a little goes a long way. I love that it’s fragrance-free and safe for sensitive skin. The packaging is clean and practical, and for the quality, the price is totally worth it. Great for the whole family!

My skin thanks me every day for using this ointment. My skin barrier was completely dried out from using overly harsh product. So to soothe it, I applied this ointment in a thick layer every night. It locks in moisture so well that I wake up with plump, hydrated skin. It’s become an essential in my skincare routine!

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.
