CeraVe 590401 Healing Ointment with Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides for Protecting and Soothing Cracked, 5 oz

Two weeks ago I was really battling with peri oral dermatitis. I had never suffered with any skin complaints in my life (I'm nearly 60). It had happened because I had a bad allergic reaction to Ameliorate facial cream. My skin was inflamed, sore and burning. I was prescribed Rosex and Canesten by the doctor but neither had any effect...it was really getting me down. Then I ordered Cerave healing ointment out of desperation. It is rather like the texture of Vaseline and difficult to get out of tube but whatever other ingredients this balm has in it, it has worked miracles. Immediately I put it on, my face felt less sore and itchy. Two weeks later the POD has almost gone and my skin feels almost back to normal. It may not work for everyone, but I am so thankful that I tried it. I Wish it was sold in UK as very expensive on Amazon. As an added bonus, this is the best lip balm that I have EVER used. I'm ordering another one as I never want to run out!

I bought this specifically for my lips.I've had chapped lips and a skin-picking disorder since I was a child, and at times a stressful job, so my lips are usually tight, sore, cut, patchy, and just unsightly basically. It embarrassed me but I sometimes didn't know I was doing it, and the more chapped they were the more I wanted to mess with them.I have used every type of product going... Vaseline, organic, drug-store, oils, etc. Nothing worked. I found an article where a dermatologist recommended CereVe for chapped lips due to the ceremides and hydrochloric acid. I thought I'd give it a go... even though it's apparently not made for lips. I bought it and popped some in a small container to take everywhere with me, and I use it any time I feel my lips are dry.For 1 whole month I haven't picked my lips, because they feel soft all the time. If they feel dry in the morning, I'll use a lip scrub (Lush) and then apply straight after. My lips are more plump just because they're not sore and cut up. Very grateful to have discovered this product.

Really good product. Used mainly as lip balm. Good for whole family. Only problem is, on the very first use, the top of the packaging split open as I tried to squeeze product out of the open end. I think because it is too thick for the packaging. We now just have to squeeze a bit of product out of the top of the broken packaging each day. A bit annoying but not the end of the world.

My husband has athletes foot and he uses this cream to moisturize his rough skin feet and it does amazing job!

I love CERAVE products and have never been disappointed by any of them, but I have been with this one.It's not that the product is terrible; the expiration date is the problem.The last time I ordered it, it had an expiration date of about one week after I received it.I find that not cool, and I won't be repurchasing this product.The first one I ordered was the bigger version with a few months' expiry date; even that for a big tub is nowhere near enough since you don't need to use it much, even if you use it daily.

Nice feel on the skin ONCE you manage to get some cream OUT of the tube! Very hard to squash the tube. Be warned. To be able to use this product I had to cut the bottom off the tube and squash contents into a different container. Couldn't squash all the content out so cut sides of tube and scraped the rest out. Very messy but now have Cerave in a different container and easy to use.

This ointment is very effective but is rather difficult to squeeze out of the tube. However will continue to use when needed.

I really like this ointment and feel that it is super hydrating. I have used this on dry skin and seen a notable different after a few days and even used it on very bad sunbur to sooth it. It is very oily when applied so would wear loose clothing over applied areas and a little goes a long way.
