I’ve struggled with dry skin alllll my life but I’ve recently discovered this a few months ago and it definitely helps. Like specifically sealing in the moisture after i’ve dive all my serums and stuff. I mainly put it just around my mouth and the creases in my nose because those are definitely problem areas. Though, you cant use that much because it could definitely clog pores, and despite the bottle saying “non greasy”, I do find it greasy, greasy and thick. But I don’t really mind because as long as you don’t put too much, you won’t look like a overly glazed donut. 🍩 There’s also no scent in this, which I love. The texture is similar to vaseline, but it actually absorbs better IMO. Really loving this product. 🥰❤️

I literally JUST purchased this product to use for "SLUGGING" a week ago, because of the research I was doing looking it up on here! So, I haven't been using it for a very long time, but they're asking me to review it they send the #voxboxs😉☺️ So, I feel I can at least do a review on a week's worth of usage for now then in 3 or 4 weeks update the post with more indepth information before after pictures!!! Really quickly though, for those who've never heard about it or done it, basically "Slugging" is when you put a layer of "occlusives" onto the face to deeply penetrate the skin for deep repair, relief to seal in moisture the products previously used! ! It's for dry, sensitive combo skin types!

Really quickly though, for those who've never heard about it or done it, basically "Slugging" is when you put a layer of "occlusives" onto the face to deeply penetrate the skin for deep repair, relief to seal in moisture the products previously used! ! It's for dry, sensitive combo skin types! Occlusives (think Vaseline it's texture, Olive Oil, but also Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, Sunflower Oil, to just name a few) can be everyday products that some may even have around the house, but because they are extremely thick /or greasy, fortunately some brands have taken notice have included other natural ingredients for both better results for better spreadability, texture absorption! After my usual research reading, I finally chose the CeraVe Healing Ointment! I chose it for 3 main reasons; Firstly, I currently use many CeraVe products I really love their formulas ingredients, because they work for me-I got/get visible results with consistent use! Secondly, for this products added ingredients all of their many benefits, such as Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E a Ceramide Complex blend formulated with 5 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CERAMIDES-Which ARE the absolute BEST for keeping the skins Barrier Microbiome balanced healthy, ESPECIALLY during the colder months to keep the skin radiant, glowy plump! Thirdly, the price is awesome comes in about 4 different sizes-from small, purse sized ones to throw in our bags, pockets or wherever, to the travel size(which I have), to long tubes even a jar!!! But with this, a little definitely goes a long way! Yes, it IS thick like Vaseline, that's kinda the idea, BUT this one has great absorption melts like butter when warmed up between the fingers or palms! Plus, it really doesn't leave the face too overly greasy! With "Slugging" you would use this at NIGHT, like I do, before applying a leave on sleeping mask for the entire night! You basically WANT to SEAL in ALL those great products their ingredients you spend your hard earned money on, the best you can leave a layer on the face for protection from any pollutants /or dust dirt! I also wanted to mention that this product is actually non-comedogenic, so for MOST it will NOT clog the pores or cause any acne breakouts or irritation! I have combo, hormonal acne, that has a mind of it's own since starting this product, it has NOT broken me out or cause any purging or irritation! I also must admit that I was very hesitant to use anything with petroleum in it that has a Vaseline like texture to it! But, I did my due research found a couple of really wonderful "Slugging" formulations that actually work yet AGAIN, CeraVe has made another VERY well formulated product that's shown to work with a CLEANER formula then just regular Vaseline! AND, IT IS MADE FOR THE FACE AS WELL, NOT JUST THE BODY! Overall, I love it so far! If anyone's interested, I'm actually now done with my main research am writing a blog post about "Slugging", "Skin-Cycling" certain ingredients used in this process, such as Ceramides what they do! I'm also writing about the skins natural skin barrier it's Microbiome, also known as the Microflora, what the function of the skin barrier is, what it does/prevents which ingredients products BEST prevent, heal treat the skins barrier, even if it's ALREADY compromised badly irritated!

I tried this ointment for a few weeks to see of it would benefit my dehydrated, super dry cracked lips and hands. These two areas are my main concern. The first time I used the ointment I found the ointment to be lightweight and smooth in texture. I applied at night for it to be able to penetrate my skin on my very chapped dry hands and lips. I constantly wash my hands especially at work and use alot of antibacterial hand-gel/wash as part of my work practice and this exacerbates the problem. The ointment applies well and I found that a little goes a long way which is a bonus as the tube seems to last forever even after weeks of use. I also apply a later on my lips which are forever chapped especially in the winter.

I also apply a later on my lips which are forever chapped especially in the winter. When I wake up I find the ointment has penetrated so well and my lips and hands feel hydrated and plump. The skin actually looks healthier due to it being hydrated and gave me relief from the very chapped cracked skin. The ointment contains hyaluronic acid and ceramides which is all the rage at the moment and rightly so as these ingredients restore the skin barrier and that is exactly what I needed. I love the fact that the product is so versatile as I have even tried it on dry patches on my leg and also my elbows and knees which often get neglected in my skincare. I definitely recommend this product and have purchased another tube to keep in my handbag so it’s always handy.

Absolutely amazing for dry or chapped hands

I honestly can't say enough good things about this CeraVe healing ointment - where to start! I LOVE that it is fragrance free because I'm really sensitive to scents. Next I have to compliment how easily it glides on our skin and how fast if absorbs- gone are the days and nights of goopy ointment hands to get results! And then most importantly this formula works better on my dry, cracked, chapped hands than any other brand or item I've tried before, and I've tried a lot. I mainly use this healing overnight as during the day I am constantly washing my hands, resulting in the extremely dry and chapped skin on my hands mainly around my knuckles.

Since using this healing ointment nightly I have also seen a long term difference where my hands aren't getting as dry/chapped as they used to. I don't have a before picture to reference but included a picture of it just applied to show how great it absorbs and doesn't leave a sticky, goopy residue! Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Parent Panel for providing me this healing ointment in exchange for my open and honest review- I will be purchasing this with my own money going forward!

CeraVe Healing Ointment Transformation

As someone who has suffered with dry skin for the majority of my life, I know a thing or two about products that moisturize. Here to say, that the CeraVe Healing Ointment is truly a game changing product. This product feels and demonstrates that it doesn't just sit on the surface of your skin when you apply it, but it penetrates the underlying barriers of your skin. I used this product all over different areas of my body, including my face, my hands, my arms, etc. Every place that the ointment was applied to, it soothed the irritation and the cracks of my skin healed up easily. The ointment is not like a petroleum ointment or jelly, one of the major differences is that it does not feel like it clogs up your skin.

The ointment is not like a petroleum ointment or jelly, one of the major differences is that it does not feel like it clogs up your skin. Instead, this product seeps through the skin to reach the parts that need healing. The CeraVe Healing Ointment is very soothing and gentle, keeps my skin hydrated through the night, does not create friction or feel like burning, as sometimes certain ointments can create that feeling if the ingredients are not gentle. As someone who really incorporates gentle products in my facial routine, the CeraVe Healing Ointment is one that I will continue to be using. The elasticity of my skin feels stronger, I have felt that the other products that I use feel like they sit better on my skin since the top barrier feels smoother and stronger. The best result I have received thus far, this ointment has truly helped even the toughest eczema I've had on my fingers!

Hydrating but if HA sensitive will cause redness if applied

I was recommended this by an Ulta employee who forgot I told her I was HA sensitve 2 seconds ago lol, but I ended up getting it and doing the method she recommended (slugging.) I finally saw that it said hylauronic acid and stupidly thought since it was almost at the bottom of the ingredient list it wouldn't be too bad. I did it twice and then realized it was horribly exacerbating my redness and unevening my skin tone. I use very small amounts on dry patches usually around my mouth and nose and for body abrasions. It makes the area slightly red but whenever I use it the dryness is pretty much gone by the next day, so it really does wonders for moisturizing. The redness in those areas usually goes away in a day or so but I often end up using it every 1-2 days because ... MoreI was recommended this by an Ulta employee who forgot I told her I was HA sensitve 2 seconds ago lol, but I ended up getting it and doing the method she recommended (slugging.)

The redness in those areas usually goes away in a day or so but I often end up using it every 1-2 days because I'm so dry. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything that works as well yet without HA. Today I tried giving using a little more another chance because I've been very dry and applied a medium amount of it (in addition to near my nose which i just accept being red because it hydrates lol) on one side of my face near my eye and above my eyebrow and on my cheek and chin. It gave me the worst splotchy redness and mild itch I've experienced from it yet visibly in the area of application within seconds, especially near my eye, maybe because of the thin skin there. If you're HA sensitive I wouldn't recommend it, even though it's VERY moisturizing it will just completely mess with your skin tone and probably your confidence. However it's a good product and I wish I could make full use of it.

Lifesaver for my dry cracked hands

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this healing ointment.I was suffering from some really difficult eczema and dry, rough, cracked patches in between my fingers and on my hands for months. I received CeraVe healing ointment and decided to give it a try, and it really helped. My hands went to cracked and bleeding to healing, to completely free of any dryness. I like to use this with my skin slightly damp even after washing hands/face or after a shower. Personally I felt that it helped to lock moisture in even better. Often times when dealing with a thick viscous ointment you’re left with greasy hands that everything sticks to but with CeraVe healing ointment this was not the case.

Often times when dealing with a thick viscous ointment you’re left with greasy hands that everything sticks to but with CeraVe healing ointment this was not the case. This ointment rubs in fully leaving you with soft supple skin and no sticky residue. I have incorporated this into my daily routine and I apply it to my hands, elbows, knees, ankles and bottom of my feet. I have also used this on my toddlers skin and it rubbed in so smoothly and left no residue. I feel my skin as a whole has vastly improved since incorporating CeraVe healing ointment. It doesn’t have any scent so that is nice if you are sensitive. A little goes a long way with this product so it should last you a long time. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone looking to improve their hydration or that are dealing with any dry, cracked skin.

Reliable brand for sustained healing

When I first received the CeraVe Healing Ointment, I was actively experiencing an eczema outbreak on the sides of my fingers. I was really excited to try the balm so I applied a generous amount while relaxing on the couch. I really like how light the ointment is, however, applying it while actively on my phone or using the TV remote was not the best choice due to the greasy film it left. I have used multiple products in the past so I am accustomed to the oiliness, but was hopeful that there would be less grease due to the product labeling and highlight of "no grease" on the bottle.What this product is fantastic for, however, is applying before bed, when you can be hands free, or on your feet and wearing socks.

I used this product for 5 days straight (and then 3 weeks beyond that!) right before bed on my hands and feet and woke up each morning with less dryness and more moisture in my skin. My eczema flare healing sped up significantly and I completely skipped the burning, flaking skin stage that I often experience.I would absolutely recommend this as a nighttime ointment and a healing treatment for feet. If you don't mind leaving a bit of oil behind it is also great for an all-day hand balm as well. CeraVe is a great brand and this ointment stays true to the tried and proven standards the company has for its products.This review has been made as part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Soothing and hydrating skincare must have

The Cerave ointment has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine! It's so soothing on skin and easy to use in multiple ways. A true all-rounder!I regularly use soothing ointment and balm products in my skincare, so I was thrilled to try this product out. I apply this daily on my lips in place of lip balm. My lips often get a little dry and this ointment heals my chapped lips very effectively. I dab some on my lips before bed and my lips are smooth and moisturized the next day.The ointment is also great for protecting sensitive skin. I have some mild rosacea and sometimes the skin on my face gets irritated and sensitive, especially on my cheeks.

This has been my favorite way to use this product, it has been so helpful in calming down my rosacea flareups!The ointment goes on very smoothly and feels nice and pleasant on the skin. It's really hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy. I like that it doesn't leave any greasy residue on my fingers after application. The tube packaging makes it easy to squeeze out the appropriate amount without making a mess. I would love to see a mini size tube for sale to make it perfect for bringing on the go.Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this healing ointment!

The best

Moisturize with cream or lotion first and then add a layer of this ointment to lock in that moisture- aka slugging. I have sensitive acne prone skin and this product has never broken me out. I only need a small pea size for my entire face and neck. Also great for wound healing… wash area with gentle soap and water, gently pat dry with clean towel, add a bit of ointment and cover with gauze and tape or band aid. Helps reduce irritation and scarring. Excellent product I beg cereve to never reformulate or change a thing about this product. I choose this over Vaseline- this product has more ingredients than Vaseline and I find it to be more occlusive and gentle but moisturizing. Vaseline works great for wounds but not for slugging, I definitely prefer cereve for slugging.
