Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy Skin Protectant, Dry Skin Body Moisturizer, 7 Oz Tube

Lasts forever and heals my chapped lips
I often carry Aquaphor around and put it on my lips when they are feeling dry. A little bit goes a long way, and one small tube seems to last forever. I have had the same tube in my bag for months and it barely looks like I have used it.It is very occlusive. It locks in moisture and creates a barrier that protects the skin underneath. For my lips especially, nothing else works as quickly or as effectively. When my lips feel cracked or sore, I will put a thin layer on at night and by morning they are so much more hydrated.I have tried a lot of lip balms and ointments that either sit on top and do nothing or soak in too quickly and leave me dry again an hour later. Aquaphor does both. It seals in the moisture but also helps heal at the same time. It is not a fancy product, but it works better than the trendy stuff I have spent way more money on.The texture is thick. It is easy to spread in a thin layer, but it does leave a greasy residue behind on the skin. It does take a long time for it to soak into the skin. It gives a subtle shine to my lips when it is applied. I also use it over dry patches on skin or cuticles.It is one of the best products in the drugstore aisle. It is affordable, multi-purpose, reliable, and effective.

Balm of the gods
Ahhh Aquaphor. You, beautiful drugstore staple, you. This product has saved me through eczema, chapped lips, angular cheilitis (those little tears at the corners of your mouth), dry skin, and more. I slather this stuff on anything that hurts and while, yes, it’s sticky, it gets the job done. A tiny tiny bit goes a long way, so I’m sure this tube will follow me to the grave, but the value is impossible to turn down.

The holy grail for chapped lips!
I don’t know what black magic is in this tube, but it WORKS!I used to have the most chronically chapped and peeling lips ever. I tried everything – drinking tons of water, applying Chapstick, Burt’s Bees, Carmex, O’Keefe’s, and even Vaseline throughout the day…some brands were better for my lips than others, but I always had to re-apply them anywhere from hours to minutes later. The peeling skin was always there, the chapstick just kinda stuck it down, but eventually the chapstick would dry from my lips and the skin would come up again.I could never wear lipstick because it looked awful with my peeling skin. I developed a nervous habit of chewing on my lips, trying to bite off the peeling skin, which of course was a vicious negative spiral which caused my lips to peel more and eventually bleed. The only relief I could get was with super hydrating lip gloss, but then my lips were glittery and super shiny and wet looking, which made me look like a teenager lost in the 90s. I wanted matte-lipped sophistication, damnit!Then I tried Aquaphor. I figured, why not, I’ve tried everything else, and this big tube is pretty cheap. When I first opened it, I thought it was basically repackaged Vaseline based on its consistency. Vaseline hadn’t worked for me in the past so I was a bit disappointed, but smeared a little on my lips right before bed anyways. The next morning, my lips were still moist from the product. I washed my face and wiped off my lips. The dry, dead, peeling skin from the night before had been moisturized into goo that just wiped off, revealing seamlessly healthy skin underneath. No cracks. No edges of dead skin that would start peeling again. Just perfectly moisturized lips like all of the advertisements that I had told myself were photoshopped over the years. I couldn’t believe it. Was I one of those people with good lips now?? I thought I had been genetically doomed!I brought the big bottle of aquaphor with me to work, thinking I would need to reapply it to keep my magically healed lips moisturized and happy (after all, even with the most moisturizing chapsticks I still had to reapply every couple of hours). I didn’t need it the whole day, even after eating and wiping off my lips. The cracks never reappeared, my lips didn’t dry out, no dead peeling skin in sight! I started wearing lipstick sometimes, never having to worry about it collecting on my dead flakey skin.Now, all I do is rub a thin bead of Aquaphor on my lips right before bed (it only takes a little – this bottle is going to last me several years!). Sometimes I get so used to healthy, uncracked lips that I forget to use Aquaphor for a few days, and then my lips start peeling again. All it takes is one application at night and they’re back to being healthy and moisturized again! I squeezed some Aquaphor into a little contained to bring with me when I travel, but I don’t even bother keeping it in my purse any more because I never need it throughout the day. I used to buy chapstick in bulk so I would always have one or two in every purse, upstairs, downstairs, in my car, at work, or anywhere I’d be. No more! This humble product has changed my life!

Good product but a bit difficult to get out of the tube.
Good product but a bit difficult to get out of the tube. . . should be a slightly LESS robust plastic for the container

A truly excellent product!A student bought this as a present, ＆ I haven’t stopped using it since. Amazing, really does what it says. Intensive relief for winter cracks, broken skin, etc.

Aquaphor is amazing. Really helps with dry skin. Andddd a good hack if u have dry skin is that u can use a light layer of Aquaphor as a hydrating makeup primer and it does wonders !!

Good 👍 very good product
