CeraVe Healing Ointment

The only thing that stops their face peeling on low-dose Accutane; a little sticky.

“I slug with a thin layer of the cerave healing ointment at night and it's the only thing that's actually kept my face from peeling off when I wake up”

Uses it to seal in moisture at night on dry skin in a hot desert climate.

“a thick moisturizer at night like aquaphor to seal everything in (I use Cerave healing ointment)”

Like Aquaphor but soaks into skin more easily.

“Then, I layer it with there cereave healing ointment, it’s like aquaphor but it soaks into skin easier.”

After a decade of use, the new bottle burned their skin.

“I just opened my new bottle and holy crap did it burn my skin like heck! Been using this consistently over the last decade & never had an issue before.”

The new tube didn't sink in overnight the way the old formula did.

“I just opened a new tube last night and applied it all over my face and when I woke up this morning, it didnt sink in as much as the old formula.”

A layer of CeraVe Healing Ointment is what is saving their skin while on low-dose Accutane.

“A layer of CeraVe ointment is what’s saving my skin while I’m on low dose accutane.”

A wound from waxing on Accutane healed completely in under three weeks using CeraVe Healing Ointment.

“I used CeraVe healing ointment in the blue tube, and it was completely healed in less than three weeks.”

Covered an Accutane waxing wound with CeraVe Healing Ointment and Vaseline while it healed, and did not scar.

“If it helps I didn’t scar, I used cerave healing ointment/vaseline to cover it and help it heal.”

The reformulated version caused tingling and redness within minutes as a lip balm.

“the “new and improved” one immediately caused tingling and redness within minutes.”

Sensitive, dehydrated and breakout-prone, yet CeraVe Healing Ointment over moisturizer has been amazing.

“I am sensitive, dehydrated & prone to breakouts & irritation but its been amazing”

The only product they moisturize their face with.

“Why fix something that isn’t broken? Ugh, this is the only product that I moisturize my face with”

Their former holy grail for slugging, but the reformulated version feels tacky and sticky like glue.

“I tried the small 3Oz sample my friend had and this shit was so tacky and sticky that it felt like I rubbed glue on my face.”

Has had good luck with it alongside the CeraVe oil cleanser.

“I’ve also had good luck with the Cerave oil cleanser and their healing ointment.”

Loves patting it over CeraVe cream in very cold weather.

“I love Cerave in the tub and if it's very cold out I love to pat a layer of the cerave healing ointment on top.”

Their favourite product after a lifetime of eczema; they use it for flare-ups.

“I’ve had eczema since 5, and im 29 now, my favorite product”

Had an instant reaction on their lips to the new formula and returned it.

“I returned mine because I use it on my lips and instantly had a reaction to the new formula.”

The old formula soothed their facial dermatitis; the new one feels waxy and leaves skin inflamed and red.

“the old formula would soothe it and keep it moisturized, this new formula, my skin feels inflamed. Like worse off & red.”

The only CeraVe product that doesn't break them out; works better on chapped lips than Aquaphor or Vaseline.

“This is the only cerave product that doesn't break me out and of course they change it. It works so much better for my chapped lips over a serum than aquaphor or Vaseline.”

The best thing they've tried for very dry, cracked lips when Aquaphor didn't help.

“The absolute best thing I tried was the Cerave healing ointment.”

Works amazingly as a lip balm and on severely dry hands or face.

“This isn’t a lip balm but I use it as one and it works amazing. I also use it for hands or face when they get severely dry.”

After 1.5 months of only water and CeraVe Healing Ointment at night, their damaged skin almost fully healed.

“after about 1.5 months of using literally nothing but water and CeraVe Healing Ointment on my face at night, my skin was almost completely healed”

Loves slugging with CeraVe Healing Ointment: their dehydrated combination skin comes out softer and brighter.

“Slugging is my faaaave! I love CeraVe Healing Ointment. I have combo skin that tends to be dehydrated everywhere and when I slug, it makes my skin so soft & brighter due to increased hydration.”

Doesn't break them out, unlike other ceramide and niacinamide products.

“been using Cerave healing ointment and it doesn’t break me out”

Loves it and plans to use it for irritation.

“and I LOVE cerave healing ointment so I'll give that a shot if I have irritation.”

Seals in moisture over their barrier cream.

“And Cerave healing ointment on top really seals the moister in.”

Using it nightly has helped a ton.

“I put CeraVe healing ointment on mine every night and it has helped a ton.”

Uses it on very acne-prone skin when they need to lock in hydration and moisture.

“right now i just use the cerave healing ointment when i really need to lock in the hydration and moisture”

Considers it, with the night cream, one of two amazing products.

“apart from the CeraVe Healing Ointment. They're both amazing products”

Puts a layer of CeraVe Healing Ointment over moisturizer at night while on tretinoin, and it is saving their dry skin.

“after moisturizer at night I put on a layer of Cerave’s healing ointment!! I use tretinoin so my skin gets dry from that but it’s saving my acne that I’ve had for years”

A godsend before bed while their acne finally started clearing.

“Cerave healing ointment was a godsend before bed. And my acne finally started clearing for the first time in my life.”

Loves it far more than Aquaphor.

“Too bad CeraVe healing ointment has a silver cap then! I love that stuff way more than aquaphor”

Prefers it to Vaseline for sealing at night: less greasy with even better plumping results.

“I do it with CeraVe Healing Ointment now and I like it better than Vaseline because it has additional helpful ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid to enrich it even more.”

Can leave a residue, so they let it soak in before sleeping.

“I use a thick moisturizer, cerave healing ointment and yeah it can leave a residue”

Tried CeraVe Healing Ointment but washed it off after an uncomfortable sensation.

“Cerave Healing Ointment in the blue tube. Hands Down. It’s amazing. My lips are never ever cracked anymore.”

A healthcare worker who uses it for everything: incredibly hydrating and protective.

“that cerave ointment is fantastic. I literally use it for everything everywhere. It’s incredibly hydrating and protective.”

Their holy grail: heavy like Vaseline but absorbs to a velvety finish.

“However, the Cerave Healing Ointment is my holy grail moisturizer. It has a heavy, vaseline-like consistency, but unlike vaseline, it absorbs really well and leaves a velvety texture behind.”

Never sinks in, but amazing as a final occlusive at night.

“For me it never sinks in though so I don’t think I could ever use it as a moisturizer! I use it as a last occlusive to seal everything in before bed and it is amazing!”

Loves layering it over CeraVe cream at night while healing their barrier.

“I love to put CeraVe Healing Ointment over the top of the CeraVe Cream at night.”

Likes CeraVe Healing Ointment and has had really good results healing minor lesions from acne or product reactions.

“It really reminds me of Neosporin and it has given me really good results with healing minor lesions just from acne or a bad reaction with a product, etc.”

A godsend for their chapped lips year-round.

“the CeraVe healing ointment (in the blue tubes) has been a godsend for my easily chapped lips in every season.”

Applies greasy but partly absorbs overnight, unlike Aquaphor.

“CHO applies just as greasy as Aquaphor but must have less petrolatum, because I find that it actually absorbs (some) into the skin overnight.”

Prefers CeraVe Healing Ointment over Vaseline, though both rub off onto their pillowcase.

“I have tried Vaseline and like the CeraVe Healing Ointment better but I feel like both just rub off on to my pillowcase.”

Unlike other CeraVe products, it doesn't break them out.

“Cerave products break me out, but the healing ointment is pretty much the Nivea cream with more helpful ingredients!”

Calls CeraVe Healing Ointment their holy grail occlusive.

“I'm using up the last bits mixed with my HG, Cerave Healing Ointment.”

Switched from Aquaphor and was blown away.

“I used to do this with Aquaphor and then tried the Cerave Healing Ointment and HOLY COW.”

Mixed into moisturizer it absorbs fairly fast; wakes up with bouncy skin.

“I use a bit of Cerave Healing Ointment mixed into my moisturizer! Absorbs in relatively quickly since it's mixed in, so I don't feel like a complete slug, but still wake up with bouncy skin.”

Mixed with a gel, leaves skin bright and bouncy next day.

“I'm loving the Naruko Magnolia Gelly mixed with a touch of the CeraVe Healing Ointment. It makes my skin bright and bouncy the next day.”

Layers it over lip balm; their dry lips love it.

“I went back to layering Hempz Ultra Moisturizing Lip Balm under Cerave Healing Ointment; my dry lips love it.”

Their go-to; absolutely amazing for their lips.

“my go-to is the CeraVe Healing Ointment, which has been absolutely amazing for my lips.”

Not overly greasy as a night occlusive; wakes with soft skin.

“For a nighttime occlusive I use Meishoku Ceracalla Gel with Cerave Healing Ointment! Not overly greasy and I wake up in the morning with soft skin.”
