CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment - Advanced Repair

Apply as often as needed, particularly to very dry, chapped, or cracked areas. Many users find benefit from applying it once or twice daily, or after washing.

Yes, this ointment is developed with dermatologists and formulated to be gentle, making it suitable for sensitive skin. However, if you have extremely sensitive skin or known allergies, it's always advisable to perform a patch test first.

Ointments are typically thicker and more occlusive than lotions, meaning they create a stronger barrier on the skin to prevent moisture loss. This Advanced Repair Ointment is designed for targeted relief of very dry, chapped, and cracked skin, while lotions are generally lighter for broader, daily hydration.

This product is formulated with non-comedogenic ingredients, meaning it's designed not to clog pores. However, individual results can vary. For facial use, apply a very thin layer.

Ceramides are lipids (fats) that naturally occur in the skin and are crucial for forming the skin's barrier and retaining moisture. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that attracts and holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, providing intense hydration. Together, they help to restore and maintain the skin's moisture balance and barrier function.

Yes, you can use a very thin layer under makeup. Allow it to fully absorb for a few minutes before applying other products to ensure a smooth application. For best results, use sparingly on the face if layering with makeup.

You may be applying too much. Try using a significantly smaller amount and gently massage it into the skin until absorbed. A thin layer is usually sufficient.

Ensure consistent daily application. For severely dry areas, consider applying a thicker layer overnight. If the condition persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional.

While developed with dermatologists, individual skin reactions can occur. Discontinue use immediately if irritation develops and consult a doctor or dermatologist.

Warm a small amount between your fingertips for a few seconds before applying. This can help improve its spreadability, especially in cooler environments.
