Cetraben Ointment - 120 g

Yes, Cetraben Ointment is suitable for use on the face. Apply a thin layer and avoid getting it directly into your eyes. If using during the day, allow time for absorption before applying makeup.

You can apply Cetraben Ointment as often as needed, especially after washing or bathing, or whenever your skin feels dry. A minimum of 2-3 times daily is often recommended for best results.

The product information specifies 'adult' for age group. While emollients are often used for various age groups, for use on infants or young children, please consult a healthcare professional.

Ointments like Cetraben are typically thicker, more occlusive, and have a higher oil-to-water ratio than creams. This allows them to provide a more intensive barrier and deeper hydration, making them ideal for very dry or compromised skin.

For an adult bath, add 1-2 capfuls of Cetraben Ointment to warm water, mixing well. For children, use a smaller amount. Always exercise caution to prevent slipping, as the bath may become slippery.

The duration a 120g tube lasts varies significantly depending on the frequency of application, the size of the skin area being treated, and the amount used per application. Consistent daily use on large areas will deplete it faster than occasional use on small patches.

Try applying a thinner layer of ointment. Gently pat off any excess product with a soft tissue if necessary after a few minutes to reduce the greasy sensation.

Ensure your skin is clean and slightly damp before application, as this can aid absorption. Massage the ointment gently into the skin until it is mostly absorbed.

Discontinue use immediately. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional. You may have a sensitivity to one of the ingredients.

Ensure the ointment has been stored correctly, in a cool, dry place below 25°C. If the texture change is significant or the product has an unusual odor, discontinue use.

Allow the ointment ample time to fully absorb into the skin before dressing. If possible, wear old or loose-fitting clothing after application, especially overnight.
