The QV Intensive Ointment for Sensitive Skin 450g is a dermatologist-developed, water-free emollient balm from Australian brand QV that delivers intense, lasting hydration to extremely dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. Formulated with 50.5% Light Liquid Paraffin and 20% Petrolatum, it forms a protective barrier that locks in moisture, soothes cracked or inflamed areas, and helps the skin barrier recover.
Why This Ointment Works
QV Intensive Ointment is built around a high-concentration emollient base that mimics the skin's natural lipid barrier. The water-free formulation means it can be applied to broken, cracked, or inflamed skin without the stinging often caused by water-based creams. Dermatologically tested and free from fragrance, colour, lanolin, and preservatives, it is trusted by UAE families dealing with eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, xerosis, and ichthyosis.
Ideal For
Adults, children, infants, and the elderly with extremely dry, cracked, or sensitive skin. Recommended for managing eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and rough patches on elbows, knees, hands, and feet. Especially useful in air-conditioned UAE environments where prolonged indoor dryness aggravates sensitive skin and disrupts the moisture barrier. The formula is vegan-friendly and non-comedogenic, so it will not clog pores, and it pairs well with a gentle, soap-free cleanser as part of a complete sensitive-skin routine.
• Light Liquid Paraffin (50.5%): a highly refined mineral oil that delivers immediate softening and acts as a long-lasting occlusive.
• Petrolatum (20%): the most effective occlusive known to dermatology, reducing transepidermal water loss by up to 99%.
• Dimethicone: forms a breathable, water-repellent shield to defend skin against environmental irritants.
• Isopropyl Myristate: a lightweight emollient that improves spreadability and skin softness.
• Cetearyl Alcohol: a fatty alcohol that conditions and stabilises the formula without drying the skin.
1. Apply the ointment liberally to clean, slightly damp skin on the face or body.
2. Massage in gently until evenly distributed; use after bathing or showering to lock in moisture.
3. Reapply as often as needed, paying extra attention to drier areas like elbows, knees, and hands.
4. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and broken wounds. Keep paraffin-based products away from open flames; regularly wash any clothing or bedding impregnated with the ointment.
