Product Information
Full details
The Eucerin Aquaphor Reparative Ointment is an essential skincare solution for adults with dry, very dry, sensitive, or damaged skin who need a heavy-duty moisture barrier. It excels at soothing irritation and supporting the skin's natural regeneration process, making it ideal for compromised skin areas; however, its thick, ointment-based texture may feel too heavy or greasy for use on oily skin or in hot, humid climates.

FAQs
Can I use Aquaphor on my face?
Yes, it is suitable for use on the face, especially on dry patches or chapped lips, provided your skin does not have a history of acne breakouts.
Is this product fragrance-free?
Yes, Eucerin Aquaphor Reparative Ointment is formulated without fragrance or preservatives.
How often should I apply it?
You can apply it as often as needed throughout the day, though many users find that applying it before bed provides the best recovery results.
Does this product expire?
Like most skincare products, it has a shelf life. Check the packaging for the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol, which usually indicates how many months it stays effective after first use.
Can I use it on open wounds?
It is intended for minor skin irritations and dryness. Do not apply it to deep, bleeding, or infected wounds without consulting a healthcare professional.
Troubleshooting
Product feels too greasy upon application
Use a significantly smaller amount and warm it between your fingers before application to ensure it spreads into a thin, even layer.
Difficulty getting the product out of the jar
Use a small spatula or the back of a clean fingernail to scoop the ointment out instead of pressing your finger directly into the center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the ointment, begin with clean, dry skin. Scoop a small amount with a clean finger, warm it slightly between your palms, and apply a thin layer to the target area. The product is compatible with most non-active skincare routines and should be applied after water-based serums but before any heavy sunscreens. For storage, keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the formula from becoming too soft or separating. Ensure hands are clean before touching the product to maintain the integrity of the ointment.
