Review: Different formula, but still effective - I ordered the 5 oz tube of CeraVe Healing Ointment, which is the “new and improved” formula. I’ve used the older version for years, so I was curious to see if I would notice any real differences. The texture is the first thing I noticed. This version feels a bit thicker and creamier going on. It still has that classic heavy, occlusive petrolatum feel, but it also comes across slightly tackier and a little more set on the skin, whereas the older version felt more like it just sat on top and was a bit more slick. Comparing the ingredient lists, there are some clear formulation changes. The petrolatum content has been increased from 46.5% to 49.5%, and the supporting base has shifted a bit, with newer ingredients like microcrystalline wax, synthetic wax, glycerin, caprylyl glycol, and sodium hyaluronate, while some older components like dimethicone and phenoxyethanol have been removed. Functionally, it still does the same job, but the texture difference is noticeable in use. From what I understand, changes like this are often less about reinventing the product and more about improving texture stability, manufacturing consistency, and updating the formula to match current ingredient trends and marketing preferences. In practice, it feels like a slightly heavier, more adhesive version of the original rather than a completely different product. One thing I can already comment on from experience is that the older formula tended to separate a bit toward the end of the tube, so I’m hoping this updated version holds together better over time. Functionally, it still performs very well. The base is still petrolatum, supported by ceramides (NP, AP, EOP), cholesterol, panthenol, phytosphingosine, and other barrier-supporting ingredients. It remains one of the most effective occlusives I’ve used for dry, irritated skin. One important personal note: CeraVe is not cruelty-free, as it is owned by L’Oréal. This is the one product I still choose to purchase knowing that, because I haven’t found another occlusive that works quite as well for my skin. I don’t love compromising on that, but in this case the performance has been hard to replace. Overall, I still think it’s an excellent healing ointment. The changes feel more like a texture and formulation refinement than a dramatic improvement, but it still earns its place in my routine. Price at time of review: $11.97
Review: Gentle and lasts forever - Love love love this stuff! A tiny bit goes a very long way so it will last for so long. Well worth the price given how long it’ll last. It feels a lot better on than a regular petroleum jelly and absorbs well. It’s thick so you need less than you think. Great on cracked knuckles and I haven’t experienced any greasy feeling or stickiness like other products. Very gentle on irritated skin!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is expiration date**
A: Hi Judy! Thanks for reaching out. Our products have been tested to have at least a 3-year shelf life if unopened and stored at normal room temperature, during which they will retain their integrity and perform as expected.  If your product looks and smells the way it normally does, it is good to use. Unless stamped with an expiration date, our products do not expire. We hope this was helpful!

**Q: Is this better than vaseline? less greasy but just as effective? or is aquaphor better?**
A: Way better than vaseline, slightly less greasy (but still greasy) way more effective!

**Q: Does the 5oz. tube come with a seal around lid to ensure no tampering?**
A: Hi there! Thank you for your inquiry. No, our 5oz. Healing Ointment tub does not come sealed. We recommend purchasing our 12oz Healing Ointment tub which is sealed. We hope this helps!

**Q: Does the jar come with a seal around lid to ensure no tampering?**
A: The lid is not sealed. But when you open the lid, there's a hard paper seal on the jar which needs to be pulled out to reveal the contents. I hope that helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an essential item in my house
*by S***B on June 30, 2026*

I have really sensitive skin and I regularly get eczema outbreaks on my hands, arms, and face that lead to dry/cracking skin. The worst is over the winter washing my hands with the cold water and the dry heated air makes the backs of my hands crack (to the point of bleeding). But this ointment heals up the cracks soooo quickly. I absolutely HATE the feel of it, but it's worth it. Also, (sorry for the gorey details) I recently ripped off a small chunk of my thumb nail and I was really worried that the nail wouldn't regrow normally in that part of my thumb. But, I put this ointment on under a bandaid and within a week or two, I noticed that the injured part was healed up and the nail was regrowing nicely. As a bonus, I noticed that all of my nails were actually lookin extremely healthy and long and my cuticles were doing better (because I always just rubbed the excess off on the rest of my nails), so now that it's all healed I'm trying to remember to use this daily anyways just because it seems to be really helping my nails.
