CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment - 50ml

You can use the ointment as needed throughout the day to soothe and moisturize dry or chapped skin. For intensive treatment, apply a generous layer before bedtime.

Yes, this ointment is safe for use on the face, body, and lips. However, due to its occlusive nature, start with a small amount on facial skin to see how it feels.

CeraVe products are generally formulated for sensitive skin. This ointment contains petrolatum and ceramides, which are typically well-tolerated. However, if you have extremely sensitive skin, it's always advisable to patch-test first.

This ointment is an occlusive product, meaning it creates a physical barrier on the skin to prevent water loss and promote healing. Regular moisturizers often focus on adding hydration without forming such a robust barrier.

The product description does not indicate the presence of fragrance. CeraVe products are typically formulated without added fragrance.

Many users experience immediate relief from dryness and chapping. Significant improvement in skin barrier function and hydration is typically seen with consistent use over a few days to a week.

Apply a thinner layer of the ointment and allow it a few minutes to absorb before dressing. Ensure you are using only a small amount, as a little goes a long way.

Discontinue use if irritation persists. Consult the ingredient list for potential allergens. If symptoms are severe, seek medical advice.

Ensure the skin is clean and completely dry before application. Gently massage the ointment into the skin. It is designed to form a protective layer, so some 'sitting' on the skin is normal.
