Skin Relief Healing Ointment FAQs

Aveeno® Skin Relief Healing Ointment helps repair and protect dry, cracked skin by delivering deep hydration and strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier. Its Triple Oat™ and glycerin formula works within the skin’s surface to soothe irritation, improve dryness, and keep skin hydrated even after use stops.

Unlike traditional petrolatum ointments that sit on top of the skin, Aveeno® Skin Relief Healing Ointment uses a semi-occlusive formula that both attracts and locks in moisture. This helps actively hydrate and repair skin from within, while still protecting it from moisture loss.

Yes, this multi-use healing ointment is suitable for use on the body, face, hands, feet, and lips. It helps relieve and protect areas with dry, chapped, irritated, or cracked skin, making it a versatile solution for everyday skin care needs.

Yes, Aveeno® Skin Relief Healing Ointment is clinically proven to improve dry skin. In a randomized, evaluator-blinded clinical study, it significantly improved skin hydration within days and continued to deliver lasting moisture even after use stopped. It was also shown to provide greater hydration than a leading petrolatum-based ointment.

This ointment starts improving skin hydration in as little as a few days and helps repair dry skin quickly while providing long-lasting moisture. It also helps protect the skin barrier, so hydration continues even after you stop using the product.
