CeraVe Healing Ointment is a multi-purpose, dermatologist-developed balm designed to provide intense hydration and protect cracked, chafed, or extremely dry skin. Unlike traditional petroleum jellies that can feel greasy and heavy, this ointment features a non-greasy feel and is enriched with essential skin-identical ingredients. It creates a breathable, protective seal that locks in moisture while allowing the skin to heal from the inside out. It is an essential “rescue” product for compromised skin, safe for use on the face, body, hands, and even on sensitive areas like lips or the delicate skin of infants.
