If you suffer from a compromised skin barrier, or are desperately in need of relief from redness or discoloured patches – or simply want to relieve dull, dry, cracked and irritated skin – it can be a challenge to figure out which products will work best for your skin type to help heal and nourish your skin. That’s where CeraVe’s new Healing Ointment comes in. Extremely dry, chafed or cracked skin needs special care, and CeraVe Healing Ointment helps provide fast and effective relief while helping to soothe, hydrate and restore your skin barrier.
Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe Healing Ointment is a lightweight, non-greasy balm that is free of potentially irritating ingredients like lanolin, and formulated with three “Skin Alike” essential ceramides, plus hyaluronic acid and petrolatum to help protect, moisturize and soothe skin while it heals and repairs. As well, it helps protect the skin from any further moisture loss, and can even bring skin irritations and rashes under control, one of the reasons it is accepted by the Canadian Dermatology Association in Canada and the National Eczema Association in the United States. Plus, it’s fragrance-free, lanolin-free and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
This healing balm will help soothe your skin and help provide rapid relief from superficial cuts, scrapes and wounds. It’s also an effective solution for maintaining healthy, hydrated and soothed skin for anyone with dry skin conditions, or who experiences frequent skin irritation and chafing. It can even be used on top of a moisturizer to lock in hydration – in fact, it is an ideal product for fans of slugging (one of TikTok’s biggest skincare trends of 2023). Since the lightweight formula isn’t particularly heavy or greasy, it can comfortably be used regularly.
CeraVe’s Healing Ointment is incredibly simple to use: simply apply before bed to lock in moisture while you sleep, for hydration all night long that will carry through the next day. The balm will also temporarily protect injured or exposed skin from external irritants, forming a protective barrier that may help accelerate skin’s natural healing process and sealing in moisture to help heal dryness.
CeraVe’s Healing Ointment will help save your skin no matter what the season, making it worthy of a place on your counter year-round. Creating an effective skincare routine at any time of year can be challenging, and if you are experiencing inflamed or damaged skin, you have to be extra cautious about the products you choose. That’s why it’s best to stick to trusted brands, like CeraVe, that include the healing ingredients you know can help repair your skin without setting off further inflammation.
CeraVe’s Healing Ointment is available in 85 g ($14 CAD) and 340 g ($31 CAD); it is available at most retailers across the country, and online at cerave.ca.
