Most Helpful Positive Review This is the best! This is the best product ever! I hope Cerave never stops making this. It is similar to Vaseline as you can apply it to minor cuts and scrapes. It will moisturizer dry patches as well. It helps hold water to the skin with hyaluronic acid and keeps that sealed with dimethicone(which is not bad for your skin).This was designed to be put anywhere on the body. I love using it under my eyes as a hydrating eye cream. I use it on my feet before bed to lock in moisture. I also use it as a night time cream before bed. Also apply it on my lips every day. The consistency is like whipped coconut oil. Feels extremely silky and soaks into the skin quickly. I would recommend this product to everyone!
Most Helpful Critical Review I will not be purchasing this product anymore. I would suggest using it on your feet. It feels like Vaseline and looks like it too. Not expected to pay this price for Vaseline.

Lexy from El Paso
I purchased this on a whim after hearing about its benefits for dryer skin. I was skeptical at first. My skin became dry after my pregnancy and I mean DRY. I started using sulfur as a spot treatment for any blemishes and while it's super effective, it will leave your skin incredibly dry and flakey after constant use. So I figured that this ointment will be my saving grace and would allow me to use my sulfur more often. And let me tell you, I am SO glad that I did! This will leave my skin looking plump and hydrated (thank you ceramides!) and definitely eliminated any dry, flakey patches and prevented from them forming. Best part is that your skin absorbs it and won't sit on your skin. Definitely a staple in my routine now!

I'm actually baffled by this product. I bought it without reading the ingredients and when I did I was less than impressed with the mineral oil and dimethicone. Regardless, I tried it because I am desperate to help my face. I have fairly severe acne and I've been using a retinol that gives me dry patches around sensitive areas like my nose. I've been slapping this on those spots at night and the next day they look flawless and moisturized. I live in a very dry climate year round with extreme heat in the summer and extreme cold in the winter and this is an absolute necessity for combo or dry skin. I've also been using it to speed up the healing process of spots I've picked and and it hasn't made me break out or flare back up at all. Give this a try if you're at your wits end with dealing with acne and it's side effects!

This is an amazing healing ointment, it works fast and does not feel greasy. The bottle has lasted me a long time and I think it is totally worth the money.

Thought I'd apply some to my tired, too dried feet. Glad I did. Soothed, comforted & softened within a few days. Now I don't plan to be without this treatment, & my feet agree !!
I love it so much 5

I am one of those people that can't step away from the magnifying mirror. This product really helps skin to heal more quickly. It is an ointment, but it feels good on your face. It eventually soaks in. Good for really dry skin.
Love it! 5
Laura from Chicago, IL
During quarantine I've actually been using this in the morning and night time during my skin care routine and my skin has never been better! If I plan on using makeup for whatever reason I do use a smaller amount and it still works amazing! When using it at night my skin feels amazing the next morning! It's always so hydrated and plump! I've always dealt with super dry skin around my nose area that looked terrible especially with makeup and this completely changed it! I also use this on my dry elbows and they're so soft and smooth now! I will definitely keep repurchasing and definitely recommend for anyone dealing with dry skin!
Like Aquaphor, but better! 5
Nora from Washington, DC
As someone with extremely dry/chapped, sensitive, eczema-prone skin, I thought Aquaphor was the holy grail ointment for me. This healing ointment is MUCH better. I find that it spreads more easily, lasts longer, and hydrates much more thoroughly. I use it on my face, lips, and body. Will be buying again!
Hydrating! 5

Great hand moisturizer especially when your hands are in water a lot.
Holy Grail Product 5
Michelle from PA
This is the greatest thing I've ever put on my face. I put this on after my moisturizer, as the very last step in my routine. I was skeptical because of the texture and because I'm very sensitive and react to many products, but this product is great for everybody. I only use it at night bc of the greasy look before your skin soaks it up, but it's so worth it. I recommend gently patting it all over your face as opposed to rubbing it in. When I use this at night I wake up to my skin feeling more moisturized than ever, and any redness, irritation, or inflammation on my skin is reduced or totally healed. This is my guardian angel right here.
It works! 5
Zoey from Wisconsin
Although this ointment is pretty shiny looking when first applied, I gave it 5 stars because it is the only product that has healed my stubbornly dry and flaky nose that I've dealt with for years now. The type of annoying flake that leaves a patchy look with makeup. For me, it works best putting it on before bed or after coming home from work since I wouldn't put it on under makeup due to the ointment's greasier appearance. Therefore, I pair it with the Cerave daily moisturizing lotion. Overall, I love this product!
Works well. 5

I have eczema and this helps with dry patches.
Bye Bye dry skin! 5
Nursing Mom from Altoona, Pa
My family uses the ointment after showering to lock in the moisture and relieve the dry, itchy skin. The ointment may be a little thicker than you may be used to, but just use a little to rub in and within a few days you will notice a difference.

Best of its kind 5
Danielle from NY
Cerave Healing Ointment is far superior to Vaseline and Aquaphor in my opinion. It contains ceramides, HA and panthenol which I think makes it more effective at actually healing. It works amazing on breakouts and heals scabbing quickly and I find it works better if you're trying to live the slug life (aka slathering your face in an occlusive before bed to lock in moisture). Also, this converted me AWAY from any lip balm, nothing works better for me than this. I use the mini tube for my lips. Will never be without! Also this price is one of the cheapest I've found.
Love in winter! 5
amyzan from KC area
CeraVe healing ointment is the perfect emollient for layering on top of moisturizer and sealing in hydration before makeup for day or as a last step at night. I only need a tiny amount, about the size of a pea and it spreads smoothly, unlike Aquaphor. It's not overly thick and the texture is nice. It never irritates and as long as I don't use too much, it sinks right in, leaving a gentle
glow on my dry rosacea prone skin. Very soothing and helpful when it's bitter cold outside. Keeps my skin in great shape all winter.

It does get the job done for. Little bit. But it was greasy and couldn't do much after putting it on.
