Cerave Healing Ointment vs. Vaseline
- Both contain petroleum jelly which is THE superior ingredients when it comes to prevent water loss in your skin
- Cerave contains additional ingredients like hyaluronic acid, cholesterol, & ceramides which are important for barrier function
Protecting your skin barrier is super important! A damaged barrier can lead to irritation, dryness everything feeling like it burning, flaking, & sensitivity. This environment can also contribute to acne and hyperpigmentation
Other healing ointments that I like: Baby Cerave Healing Ointment, Avené Cicalfate, Dr Rogers Healing Balm

And yes everyone can benefit from using it! Petroleum jelly is often regarded as one of the synthetic safest ingredients you can use (like on da lil babies 🥺) unlike plant oils which you can *possibly* have a reaction because they’re natural
So yeah...when all of our grandmas told use to put on Vaseline to protect your face, they were right
