CeraVeAdvanced Repair Ointment With Hyaluronic Acid and 3 Essential Ceramides 88ml

If you have a skin problem involving fry or sore skin, this is the BEST I have ever used. I’m in my 70’s and lived in the Middle East for years. I’ve had injuries, sunburn, allergies, sore spots, overzealous cosmetic skin peeling solutions. I used to use Vaseline (recommended by plastic surgeon) but this is better. It has a very similar texture. It IS heavy. It doesn’t sink into the skin, it forms a barrier between the air and the skin. It differs from Vaseline/petroleum jelly in as much as it contains specific skin care/soothing/nourishing ingredients. It’s a specialist product. I used to use retinoids and glycolic acid on my skin and sometimes I over do it. It has soothed irritated skin, it has moisturised skin so dry I thought it would crack. I put it on at night and wake in the morning with dewy skin, yes, even in my 70’s! I also use it on my cuticles because we all know never to cut cuticles but to soften them. Simple product, in my case, a miracle worker!

The lotion, in a tube, packs a good punch of moisture. Very thick gel - excellent for dry lips, especially at night, though I wear it during the day most days as well, as I have been trying to get rid of acne spots (I am 80) and so my skin is dry in places. Given a bit of time, it is absorbed well by the skin.

The ointment is effective for repairing very dry and chapped skin, especially during winter. The formula is thick and creates a protective barrier, but it leaves a greasy residue that doesn’t absorb quickly. The 88ml tube is compact and travel-friendly but runs out fast with regular use. It’s unscented, which is good for sensitive skin, but the consistency makes it less practical for daily application on larger areas.Verdict: Works well for targeted repair but is greasy and not ideal for all-over use.

It’s mostly petroleum jelly, so if you’re expecting a cream-like texture or something non-greasy you’re looking at the wrong product. It serves a very similar function of keeping moisture in so while it doesn’t sit on the skin quite as badly as Vaseline does, it’s not vastly different.However, this seems to work more effectively for soothing the skin. I use very stripping acne and anti-ageing products that can really irritate the corners of my eyes and mouth and lead to my skin becoming very dry and flakey. I put this on the outer corners of my eyes which were so sore and not only was it immediate relief (vaseline doesn’t do that), they were significantly improved when i woke up in the morning. It’s also great on my chapped lips, and on days when my skin just feels so dehydrated or raw I use half a pea sized amount over a watery moisturiser to lock it all in without looking like a complete oil slick.A little goes a long way so while it’s not cheap like vaseline is, it’s still fairly good value for money and I expect the 88ml tube will last a very long time

Gorgeous product for skin barrier repair. Very hydrating. It is very thick so you have to apply overnight, or while you're at home - unless you like the vaseline on your face look. In which case, go ahead and wear whenever.Really good skin repair product.

Very moisturising. Love it. Took away the cracks

Amazing product! Literally an overnight miracle worker on post inflammatory dry skin on face.

Disappointing did not like texture nor help lips
