Aquaphor Healing Ointment

Aquaphor Healing Ointment is designed for multiple skin conditions including: dry and cracked skin, chapped lips, minor cuts and scrapes, burns, rashes (including diaper rash), eczema patches, dry cuticles, cracked heels and hands, and as an overnight facial moisturizer for very dry skin.

Unlike water-based lotions that can evaporate, Aquaphor is an ointment that creates a protective, breathable barrier on the skin. This barrier locks in moisture while allowing oxygen flow, creating an ideal healing environment. It's also fragrance-free and contains fewer ingredients, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

The 7oz tube provides excellent value and typically lasts 2-3 months with daily use on lips and problem areas. A little goes a long way - you only need a thin layer for effective protection. Many users report the tube lasting even longer when used sparingly.

Yes! Aquaphor is gentle enough for facial use. Many people apply a thin layer as an overnight moisturizer, especially during dry seasons or in arid climates. It's also excellent for dry patches around the nose and mouth. However, if you have acne-prone skin, patch test first as occlusive products may not suit everyone.

Absolutely. Aquaphor is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and gentle enough for all ages. It's frequently recommended by pediatricians for diaper rash and dry skin in infants. The simple formula contains minimal ingredients, reducing the risk of irritation.

For best results, apply to clean, dry skin. Use a small amount - a pea-sized portion covers a large area. Gently spread a thin layer over the affected area. For extremely dry or cracked skin, you can apply a slightly thicker layer. For lip care, apply as needed throughout the day.
