About this deal
CeraVe focuses on the science of ceramides to formulate skin care that builds strength and resilience. Using an innovative combination of 3 essential ceramides, CeraVe skin care helps you to achieve healthier, stronger skin from the very first use. So, what are ceramides?
Hyaluronic acid: I like to think of hyaluronic acid like a sponge for your skin. It soaks up the hydration and prevents moisture loss, so your skin looks and feels plump and hydrated.The below ingredients are found in the Aquaphor Healing Ointment, but not in the CeraVe Healing Ointment. Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe healing ointment provides intense, long lasting moisturisation and helps protect, soothe, and relieve extremely dry chapped and chafed skin. CeraVe healing ointment combines a non-greasy feel with skin identical ceramides. CeraVe is a dermatologist-developed cult skincare brand which hails from the US. The CeraVe story began in 2005 after experts noticed that many skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dry skin all had one thing in common: a compromised skin barrier.

The below ingredients are found in the CeraVe Healing Ointment, but not in the Aquaphor Healing Ointment. Ceramides: One of the main skin-loving ingredients in this ointment is ceramides. Ceramides are naturally found on the outermost layer of our skin and are responsible for protecting it from damage and are essential for your skin's moisture and hydration levels. Inactive Ingredient: MINERAL OIL, PARAFFIN, OZOKERITE, DIMETHICONE, CERAMIDE NP, CERAMIDE AP, CERAMIDE EOP, CARBOMER, WATER, SODIUM LAUROYL LACTYLATE, PROLINE, CHOLESTEROL, PHENOXYETHANOL, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, TOCOPHEROL, HYDROLYZED HYALURONIC ACID, PANTHENOL, PANTOLACTONE, PHYTOSPHINGOSINE, XANTHAN GUM, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERINA clinical study from 2013 found that Vaseline was better at treating wounds after surgery compared to Aquaphor. If you are looking for an ointment to use on your lips, or to protect the sensitive skin around your cuticles, either product would work well as a lip balm or cuticle cream. 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. Aquaphor is commonly recommended for fresh tattoos that need to be kept moisturised and bandaged. This is because it has hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties and can speed up the healing process.
