Awesome product - I sampled this ointment at my dermatologist office and fell in love with it. I now choose it over Cera Ve. It definitely moisturizes but it is not too thick or greasy. Love it Review: It’s simple, effective, and incredibly versatile. - I bought CETAPHIL Healing Ointment after my surgeon told me to use “healing ointment” following a mini facelift. I had no idea what he meant, so I searched, took a leap on this, and I’m glad I did. My face healed beautifully with no visible scars, and I’ve been hooked on this product ever since. Cetaphil has always been reliable for me, but this ointment in particular feels like a quiet superstar. It has replaced anything I used to reach for Vaseline or other petroleum jelly for, and I now use it as: - A general moisturizer on very dry areas - A protective layer on healing skin - A stand-in for antibiotic ointments like neo/polysporin on minor cuts and scrapes ## Features - CETAPHIL HEALING OINTMENT: Clinically proven to heal and soothe extremely dry skin, cracked hands and heels as well as other minor skin irritations - HEALS AND PROTECTS DRY SKIN: Specially formulated with a high concentration of skin protectant petrolatum to quickly protect and heal dry, irritated skin - INTENSE HYDRATION: Enriched with shea butter to soften and smooth, as well as vitamin E to improve skin's resilience, this formula hydrates for 48 hours and maintains the skin' s natural barrier - GENTLE ON DRY, SENSITIVE SKIN: The hypoallergenic formula is fragrance free, paraben free, non-irritating and won't leave a greasy residue - DERMATOLOGIST RECOMMENDED for Sensitive Skin ## Images ![CETAPHIL Healing Ointment, 3 oz, For Dry, Chapped, Irritated Skin, Heals and ... - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6197KGNixNL.jpg) ![CETAPHIL Healing Ointment, 3 oz, For Dry, Chapped, Irritated Skin, Heals and ... - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818UpSxS7cL.jpg) ![CETAPHIL Healing Ointment, 3 oz, For Dry, Chapped, Irritated Skin, Heals and ... - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913wwSYp1nL.jpg) ![CETAPHIL Healing Ointment, 3 oz, For Dry, Chapped, Irritated Skin, Heals and ... - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71E5DNSsN-L.jpg) ![CETAPHIL Healing Ointment, 3 oz, For Dry, Chapped, Irritated Skin, Heals and ... - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7186r6XbYtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moisturizes but not greasy.
