Buy Aquaphor Online

The active ingredient in Aquaphor is petrolatum.

Petrolatum is a skin protectant that works as an occlusive. This means it forms a protective barrier over the skin to lock in moisture and prevent water loss. According to major medical sources, occlusive moisturizers are helpful for dry skin because they reduce evaporation from the skin’s surface.

In addition to petrolatum, Aquaphor Healing Ointment contains other ingredients such as mineral oil, panthenol, lanolin alcohol, ceresin, and glycerin, which act as one of the humectants that draw moisture into the skin.

These ingredients work together as an emollient to soften skin, support hydration, and help protect irritated skin. By sealing in moisture, Aquaphor creates a healing environment that supports the skin’s natural repair process.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Aquaphor. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Aquaphor:

• Clean and gently dry the affected area before applying
• Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor Healing Ointment to the skin
• Use as needed for dry skin, cracked skin, chapped lips, or minor cuts and scrapes
• For diaper rash, apply to clean, dry skin at each diaper change
• For eczema, use Aquaphor after bathing to lock in moisture
• For cuticles or very dry areas, apply at bedtime and cover if needed
• Avoid applying to deep puncture wounds or serious burns unless directed by a healthcare provider

Some people also use Aquaphor Lip Repair for dry or chapped lips. You may use Aquaphor alongside other skin care products, such as serums or body lotion, but apply Aquaphor last so it can seal in moisture.

Some mild or common side effects of Aquaphor include:

• Mild skin irritation
• Redness
• Burning or stinging at the application site
• Breakouts in people with oily or acne-prone skin

Some individuals may experience serious side effects while using Aquaphor. These side effects may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical help:

• Signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, or trouble breathing
• Severe skin irritation

These are not all of the possible side effects of Aquaphor. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment. Read all patient information, medication guides, or drug information sheets that come with this medication. You can also report adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.

Before starting Aquaphor, it is crucial to discuss any existing health conditions with your healthcare provider. You should be sure that your healthcare provider is aware of all your medical conditions, including if you have:

• Sensitive skin that reacts easily to skin care products
• A history of allergy to lanolin alcohol or other ingredients
• Eczema or chronic skin conditions
• Infected skin areas
• Deep wounds or puncture wounds
• Large areas of damaged skin

Aquaphor should not be used in:

• Individuals with a known allergy to petrolatum, lanolin alcohol, or any other ingredient
• Deep or infected minor wound areas without medical supervision

Many people feel relief from dryness and tightness within hours of application. For very dry skin or eczema, it may take several days of regular use to see smoother, more comfortable skin. For minor cuts and scrapes, Aquaphor helps maintain a moist healing environment, which may support faster skin repair compared to leaving the wound dry.

When Aquaphor is taken with other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements, it may change how they work or increase the frequency or severity of side effects. Make sure that you tell your healthcare professional about anything that you are taking to avoid any negative drug interactions, including:

• Topical prescription creams for eczema or dermatitis
• Medicated ointments for minor cuts
• Other moisturizers or emollient products
• Products containing strong exfoliants

Aquaphor products come in different sizes and forms, including Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Aquaphor Lip Repair, Advanced Therapy ointments, Body Lotion formulas, and products for babies and diaper rash care.
