Aquaphor Healing Ointment
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Aquaphor Healing Ointment is a petrolatum-based occlusive that seals in moisture and speeds healing, according to Kelly Driscoll (skincare focus). It can be used on dry patches, all over the face, or on lips, and Lab Muffin Beauty Science (chemistry PhD) notes its water-free formula has less chance of stinging than alternatives. Several creators recommend it for dry, irritated skin, with one calling herself an "aquafor girly."
