Eucerin Aquaphor Multipurpose Healing Ointment is designed for skin that feels extremely dry, rough, cracked, irritated, or compromised from environmental exposure, friction, frequent handwashing, or harsh weather. Unlike lightweight lotions, Aquaphor forms a semi-occlusive protective barrier over the skin that helps reduce moisture loss while still allowing the skin to breathe.
The formula contains 41% petrolatum, a widely used skin protectant ingredient known for helping reduce transepidermal water loss. It also includes moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin and panthenol to support hydration and skin comfort.
This ointment is intended to help protect and moisturize the skin barrier, but it is not a substitute for medical treatment when there are signs of infection, severe eczema, deep wounds, burns, or persistent skin conditions.
How to Use
Apply a small amount to dry, cracked, or irritated skin as needed. Use on clean, dry skin and gently massage until a protective layer forms.
For best results, apply after bathing, handwashing, or before bed to help reduce overnight moisture loss.
Avoid applying to deep, open, wet, or bleeding wounds unless advised by a healthcare professional.
Caution
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use if you are allergic to lanolin alcohol or any ingredient in the formula.Stop use and speak with a doctor or pharmacist if irritation, rash, redness, swelling, or worsening skin symptoms occur.Aquaphor may help protect and moisturize dry or irritated skin, but severe eczema, infected skin, deep wounds, burns, or persistent skin conditions should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
