description Vanicream Moisturizing Cream (Ointment) Overview
This ultra-thick ointment formulation is reserved for the most severe, compromised skin barriers, such as cracked heels or severe winter chapping.

help Vanicream Moisturizing Cream (Ointment) FAQ
Is Vanicream Moisturizing Cream (Ointment) actually a cream or an ointment?
The title combines two product types, but the description refers to an ultra-thick ointment formulation. An ointment is generally more occlusive than a cream because it forms a stronger layer that slows moisture loss.
Where would I use this Vanicream ointment?
It is positioned for targeted areas such as cracked heels, severe winter chapping, and a compromised skin barrier. Its thick texture makes it better suited to intensive spots than to a light all-over lotion routine.
Can Vanicream ointment be used on the face?
It may be used as a targeted protective layer where the product label permits, but the heavy texture can feel greasy on facial skin. Keep it away from the eyes and stop using it if irritation develops.
Does the ointment add moisture or mainly seal it in?
Its main job is to seal moisture in rather than provide a large amount of water by itself. Applying a thin layer over damp skin or another suitable moisturizer can make the occlusive layer more useful.
