Product Summary
Based on the ingredients included, "Aquaphor - Advanced Therapy Healing Ointment Skin Protectant" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Aquaphor - Advanced Therapy Healing Ointment Skin Protectant ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol and glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum and lanolin alcohol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- This formulation also uses an effective concentration of panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 3.00% - 4.60%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
