The pocket-size rescue ointment. Same heavy-duty repair formula, smaller tube, made for handbag, nappy bag or travel kit.

This is a fast-absorbing, heavy-duty barrier ointment for very dry, chapped or rough skin. It is built around petrolatum to seal in moisture, three essential ceramides found naturally in healthy skin, and hyaluronic acid to draw water to the surface. Dermatologist developed, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic (pore-friendly) and allergy tested, it is suitable for sensitive skin and for skin prone to eczema, and gentle enough to use from the age of three months.

· Heavy-duty ointment for very dry, chapped or cracked-feeling skin.

· Petrolatum to lock in moisture, plus three essential ceramides (1, 3 and 6-II) and hyaluronic acid.

· Non-greasy feel that absorbs faster than a typical petroleum jelly.

· Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic (doesn't block pores) and suitable for sensitive, eczema-prone skin.

· Use on face, lips, hands, elbows, knees and feet from 3 months of age.

How CeraVe Works With Your Skin Barrier

Think of the outer layer of your skin as a brick wall. The skin cells are the bricks, and the lipids between them (ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids) are the mortar that holds the wall together and keeps moisture in. When that mortar thins out from cold weather, harsh soaps, wind, frequent hand-washing or simply genetics, water escapes faster than skin can replace it. The result is the tight, rough, flaky, chapped feeling most of us recognise as very dry skin. CeraVe is built around putting that missing mortar back. The three essential ceramides in this ointment are skin-identical, meaning they match the lipids your skin already uses, so the barrier can hold on to moisture and feel calmer and more comfortable.

Key Ingredients: What Hyaluronic Acid, Dimethicone, Petrolatum & Ceramides Do

· Petrolatum: an occlusive layer that helps reduce water loss from very dry skin and leaves it feeling protected.

· Three essential ceramides (1, 3 and 6-II): skin-identical lipids that help the barrier hold moisture.

· Hyaluronic acid: draws water to the surface of the skin for lasting hydration.

· Dimethicone: smooths and softens rough texture without clogging pores.

CeraVe Skincare for Very Dry, Chapped and Cracked-Feeling Skin

Where a standard moisturiser sits on the surface, an ointment works harder by physically sealing water in. That makes the Advanced Repair Ointment the format to reach for when dryness has tipped into chapped, raw or rough patches that a regular cream cannot keep up with. The texture is thick in the tube but warms quickly on the skin and absorbs faster than plain petroleum jelly, so it does not feel greasy or sticky.

Where to Use It: Hands, Lips, Elbows, Feet and More

Apply to any area where skin feels dry, rough or chapped. If you have hands that crack from frequent washing, lips that peel in cold weather, dry patches on cheeks, elbows, knees and shins, rough heels, and skin around the nose during a cold this is where the ointment needs to be. It can be used as an overnight mask on very dry hands or feet under cotton gloves or socks for an intensive top-up.

Dermatologist-Developed, CeraVe Fragrance-Free Skincare

CeraVe has been developed with dermatologists since 2005 around one idea: support the skin barrier first. This ointment carries the same credentials as the rest of the range, dermatologist developed, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, allergy tested and suitable for sensitive skin. The formula makes it an ideal choice for skin that is prone to eczema, dermatitis or rough patches that flare up in winter. If you are managing a diagnosed skin condition, speak to your pharmacist or GP before introducing a new product.

1. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry or slightly damp skin wherever it feels dry, rough or chapped.

2. Use morning and night, or as often as needed throughout the day.

3. On hands, reapply after washing to lock moisture back in.

4. On lips, dab a small amount on with a fingertip or cotton bud.

5. For very dry hands or feet, apply a thicker layer at bedtime and cover with cotton gloves or socks overnight.

6. Start with a pea-sized amount and add more only where needed.

7. Suitable from 3 months of age. Avoid contact with the eyes.

Where the CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment Fits in Your Routine

A dermatologist-recommended routine breaks down into four steps: cleanse, treat, moisturise, protect. The Advanced Repair Ointment sits in the moisturise step, used either on its own where skin is very dry, or as a final layer over a lighter moisturiser to lock in hydration. In the morning, follow with a daily SPF when applying to the face.

What to Expect with CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment

Most people notice that skin feels softer, less tight and less raw within minutes. Visible improvements in rough or flaky-looking patches build with consistent everyday use over one to two weeks. Stick with it through a course of bad weather or hand-washing rather than dipping in and out. Despite the name, this is not a sticky, shiny ointment. The petrolatum is blended with dimethicone, so it spreads thinly, sinks in quickly and leaves a soft matte-satin finish instead of an oily slick. That makes it ideal to use on your face overnight or on hands during the day without feeling coated.

Skincare Steps and CeraVe Products That Pair Well

· A gentle cleanser with this ointment is the simplest effective routine for very dry, sensitive skin.

· Layer over a ceramide-rich moisturising lotion or cream as an overnight seal.

· Use after handwashing alongside a hydrating hand cream to limit the dryness that triggers cracking.

· Keeping the rest of the routine fragrance-free reduces the chance of irritation on reactive skin.

· Add a daily SPF in the morning to fight against the signs of ageing.

A Note on Sensitive Skin, Eczema and Medical Conditions

CeraVe is formulated to be gentle and suitable for sensitive skin, and many of its products are recognised for skin prone to eczema. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, are unsure about an ingredient or your skin is reacting to a new product, speak to your pharmacist or GP before continuing. Patch testing on a small area first is sensible for very reactive skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

FAQS: CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment

Is CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment good for very dry skin?

Yes, it is one of the richest formats in the CeraVe range. The 46.5% petrolatum base seals in moisture, while ceramides and hyaluronic acid help the skin barrier hold on to water. It is well suited to skin that feels chapped, rough or raw.

Is this the same as Vaseline or plain petroleum jelly?

No. It uses petrolatum as a base but blends it with three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and dimethicone, so it absorbs faster and feels less greasy than plain petroleum jelly. The added ceramides also help support the skin barrier rather than just sitting on top.

Can I use it on skin prone to eczema?

Yes. The ointment is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, allergy tested and suitable for skin prone to eczema. If you are managing diagnosed eczema, speak to your pharmacist or GP about where to fit it into your routine.

Is the ointment fragrance-free and non-comedogenic?

Yes. It is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic (doesn't block pores) and developed with dermatologists, which makes it perfect for sensitive skin.

Can I use it on chapped lips and dry hands?

Yes. Lips, hands, elbows, knees, heels and dry patches are the most common areas this ointment belongs. Reapply after handwashing and dab onto lips whenever they feel chapped.

Can babies and children use this ointment?

It is suitable from 3 months of age. Check with your pharmacist or GP if you have younger babies or if your child has a diagnosed skin condition.

What is the difference between the 50ml and the 88ml size?

The formula is identical. The 50ml is a smaller tube that suits a handbag or travel pouch, the 88ml is better value for daily use at home or for the whole family.

Where can I buy genuine CeraVe in Ireland?

FYI: CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment

CeraVe is generally well tolerated, but every skin is different so make sure to patch test on a small area if your skin is reactive. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid contact with the eyes. Store at room temperature and check the period-after-opening symbol on the tube. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or managing a diagnosed skin condition, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
