Product summary

"CeraVe - Healing Ointment for Dry and Chafed Skin, Non" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. CeraVe - Healing Ointment for Dry and Chafed Skin, Non ticks this box. Humectants in this product (hyaluronic acid) 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). Ceramide 1, ceramide 3, phytosphingosine, paraffinum liquidum and petrolatum in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide 1 1.10% - 1.60%, ceramide 3 1.30% - 1.90%, ceramide 1 1.60% - 2.40% and phytosphingosine 0.55% - 1.25%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
