The CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment 88ml is a multi-purpose, petrolatum-based balm developed with dermatologists to soothe, hydrate and protect very dry, chapped and cracked skin on the face, body and lips. Its non-greasy, lanolin-free formula combines pharmaceutical-grade petrolatum with three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture, reinforce a compromised skin barrier and deliver up to eight hours of comforting relief on vulnerable areas.
Why This Ointment Works
Three dermatologist-recommended occlusive and lipid ingredients work together to repair, not just seal, the skin. Pharmaceutical-grade petrolatum forms a breathable protective layer that helps prevent trans-epidermal water loss, while ceramides NP, AP and EOP replenish the lipid matrix often depleted in eczema-prone or compromised skin. Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, and panthenol calms irritation, so skin feels soft, comforted and visibly less dry from the first application.
Ideal For
This ointment is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, eczema-prone, post-procedure and compromised skin, and it is gentle enough for newborns aged one month and above. It is a practical choice for UAE residents managing dryness from intense sun exposure and air-conditioned indoor environments, as well as for retinol users, frequent fliers and anyone whose skin barrier needs reliable, fragrance-free protection.
• Pharmaceutical-grade Petrolatum: Creates a non-greasy, breathable barrier that locks in hydration and shields the skin from moisture loss for up to eight hours
• 3 Essential Ceramides (NP, AP, EOP): Skin-identical lipids that help restore and reinforce the natural skin barrier in dry and eczema-prone skin
• Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): Attracts and binds water in the skin for lasting, plumping hydration
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Soothes irritation and supports the natural skin recovery process
• Phytosphingosine and Cholesterol: Work alongside ceramides to complete the lipid matrix and strengthen the barrier
• Free from fragrance, lanolin and alcohol, and rated non-comedogenic for sensitive use
Apply the CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment to clean, dry skin on the face, lips, hands or body as often as needed. Use a small amount on very dry patches such as elbows, knees, cuticles and lips, or layer it over your night moisturiser as an occlusive seal. A little goes a long way. Avoid direct contact with the eyes and rinse with water if contact occurs.
