Cerave Healing Ointment

Some days your skin just waves a white flag. Cracked heels, chapped lips, hands that feel like sandpaper — extremely dry skin has a way of demanding attention at the worst times. If regular moisturisers have let you down, the CeraVe Healing Ointment might be the last product you’ll need to try.

Available in 85g and 340g. Delivered island-wide across Sri Lanka through Skinify.lk.

What is the CeraVe Healing Ointment, and Who is it For?

This is a petrolatum-based skin protectant developed with dermatologists to soothe and hydrate severely dry, chapped, or cracked skin. It forms a physical barrier on the skin’s surface that locks in moisture and shields exposed skin from external irritants — for up to eight hours.

Sri Lanka’s air conditioning, harsh soaps, and constant sun exposure are a brutal combination for skin. The CeraVe Healing Ointment is formulated to handle exactly that. It’s non-greasy, fragrance-free, lanolin-free, and non-comedogenic — which means it works without clogging pores or causing breakouts.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and eczema-prone skin. It’s also safe for children — if you’re looking for a dedicated option for little ones, the CeraVe Baby Moisturizing Lotion is worth checking out alongside this.

Benefits

• Intense hydration for dry and cracked skin — petrolatum-based occlusive base helps lock in moisture and relieve dryness fast
• Restores the skin’s natural barrier — ceramides and hyaluronic acid work together to rebuild and protect the skin’s protective barrier
• Non-greasy formula — comfortable to wear anytime, day or night, without that heavy sticky feeling
• Lanolin-free — reduces risk of irritation, especially for those with sensitive or reactive skin
• Non-comedogenic — won’t clog pores, safe for use on the face, lips, hands, elbows, and feet
• NEA accepted — recognised by the National Eczema Association
• Developed with dermatologists — suitable for all skin types, all ages

How to Use the CeraVe Healing Ointment

• Apply a thin layer to affected areas — cracked heels, chapped lips, dry elbows, or any area that needs special care
• Massage gently until absorbed into the skin
• Use as often as needed throughout the day, morning or night
• For best results, apply before bed and let it work overnight — cover hands or feet with cotton gloves or socks for intensive hydration. If you want to go further with your nighttime routine, our night cream collection has options that pair well with this step
• Follow cleansing and moisturising with a small amount on particularly dry patches for targeted relief
• Do not apply to open wounds or broken skin

Key Ingredients

Petrolatum (46.5%) — the hero of this formula. A petrolatum-based skin protectant that temporarily protects and helps relieve chafed, chapped, or cracked skin. It forms an occlusive layer on the surface, slowing moisture loss without blocking the skin entirely.

Ceramides (NP, AP, EOP) — three essential ceramides that mirror what already exists in your skin. They restore and maintain the skin’s protective barrier, which is often what breaks down first in extremely dry or damaged skin.

Hyaluronic Acid (Hydrolyzed) — pulls moisture into the skin and keeps it there. Even in an ointment, it earns its place.

Dimethicone — adds a layer of slip and smoothness. Helps the formula feel less heavy while still being occlusive.

Panthenol — a form of vitamin B5 that supports skin healing and soothes irritation.

Other ingredients include Mineral Oil, Paraffin, Ozokerite, Carbomer, Proline, Cholesterol, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Phytosphingosine, and Xanthan Gum.

Dealing with chapped lips specifically? The Ordinary Squalane Amino Acids Lip Balm is a solid companion product for targeted lip care. For dry body skin that needs something richer, the Dr. Rashel Vitamin C Body Butter is another option worth exploring. And once your skin is healed and back to baseline, pairing the ointment with a moisturizer for dry skin from our collection will keep dryness from coming back.
