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.

This CeraVe product is great for dry skin and it gives a great overall coverage on the skin. I use it as a part of my skin care routine and it’s worth the price.

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.

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.

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

I started using this for my feet my my dry patches, absolutely love that it come in a tub container. I just jump out the shower and apply now all over my body. I don’t get dead or dry skin peeling off & it’s so nice on the face (I only use on my forehead and neck, especially if I’ve been in the sun all day. Only 3 stars as they don’t state that they are cruelty free, please change it🙏🫶

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!

I’ve been using CeraVe Healing Ointment at night for the past five years, and it’s still a staple in my skincare routine. It works wonders for sealing in moisture and calming any irritation, especially during colder months or after using active ingredients. The effectiveness is unmatched—it hydrates, soothes, and protects without clogging my pores or causing breakouts. One of the best things about it is the texture. It’s rich and balmy but surprisingly lightweight. It melts into the skin and doesn’t leave behind that heavy, greasy feel that most ointments do. I wake up with soft, calm skin every time. It’s made with skin-loving ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which help restore and protect the skin barrier. The scent is basically non-existent, which I love—perfect for sensitive skin. The packaging is clean and practical. I’ve used both the tube and jar versions, and I appreciate that they offer options depending on how much you need. If you’re looking for a reliable, no-fuss product to lock in moisture and give your skin some TLC, this is definitely one to keep on hand.

For a long time this product wasn’t widely sold in Canada. I watched YouTubers constantly rave about this as a multi-purpose protectant for lips, hands, feet, scrapes, etc. so when it finally started showing up on shelves, I was excited to buy it, even though it’s about 6x the cost of regular Vaseline. I’ve used Vaseline on my hands for a few years to deal with constant peeling skin around my nails. My first impression was very positive. It melted into the skin so much nicer than Vaseline. Within about 20-30 minutes, I didn’t have greasy fingers. I was like “wow I can see why this is so well-liked, and why people pay more for it”. But then over the next few days I noticed that it doesn’t really have any of the benefit that Vaseline does. At least for my particular use case. It does not prevent the skin peeling around my nails the way Vaseline does. So while I love that it has ceramides and other beneficial ingredients, and I love the way it feels compared to Vaseline, it just doesn’t hit the same level of thickness/occlusion, which is the only reason I, personally, would use this product. So I probably won’t repurchase. But if you’re just looking for a well-formulated, light petrolatum based ointment, this would probably be great.

I’ve always had oily, acne-prone skin, but after giving birth, I developed patches of eczema under my nose, on my lower cheeks, and around my mouth and chin. Regular moisturizers wouldn’t treat it, so I recently purchased this healing ointment in the 5 ounce squeeze tube since I’m a fan of CeraVe products and it’s recommended for eczema. It did not disappoint! The ointment totally covers and moisturizes my flakey skin! A little goes a long way; it feels a little greasy at first, but once it soaks into your skin, it just feels smooth and hydrated. It’s like a cross between Vaseline and Neosporin. This tube will last me many months! I have sensitive skin and this product caused me zero irritation. I’m sure being fragrance-free and dye-free plays a big part in that. 10/10 recommend for people with eczema!

My go to product for my night time moisturizing routine. A tub of this lasts for a very long time, it has no scent and the texture is similar to Vaseline. I have found that this is great for easily irritated skin.

I really enjoy crave ointment. It is easy to spread and not too greasy at all. I use the tube one as it is easier for me to use, compared to the tub. It has ceramide. I use it as an eye cream and I rarely have crew feet at 40 years old! I really recommend to have it at home.
