Wait until skin has fully re-epithelialized (the medical term for when new tissue has formed) before using the ointment.

Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm supports skin regeneration after chemical peels and laser therapy but should only be used on skin that is fully re-epithelialized (i.e., not on open wounds).

At what age can you use Eucerin Aquaphor soothing skin Balm?

With only a few ingredients, it is well tolerated by sensitive skin, and is suitable for use on babies and children over 3 months of age.

How does Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm work?

This water-free ointment forms a gentle, semi-occlusive, protective barrier over skin. It supports the natural transfer of water vapor and oxygen to and from skin allowing skin to ‘breathe’ and strengthen its natural protective barrier.

The ointment is enriched with Glycerin and Panthenol.

Glycerin is an effective moisturizer that attracts water and helps to keep it in the skin.

It works alongside Panthenol which helps to speed up regeneration and repair while also moisturizing skin.

It’s fragrance-free and preservative-free so it won’t irritate your skin—and it’s gentle enough for use on children.

Is Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Balm for the face or body?

It can be used on both the body and the face.

Where can I use Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Balm?

You massage it gently into problem areas of skin such as the:

• Knees
• Elbows
• Cracked knuckles
• Cuticles
• Cracked heels.

Skin can be re-epithelialized—that is, new tissue has formed—in 24 hours or less after treatment. However, it takes longer for deeper layers of the epidermis to heal and regenerate themselves.

This means that you should not use Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm until new tissue has formed; otherwise your treatment may not be as effective or could even cause further damage to your skin. Ask your Dermatologist how long you should wait before using it.

Have there been any studies on Aquaphor?

Clinical and dermatological studies have been conducted by the company. The results show a good efficiency and tolerability even on extremely dry, cracked, or irritated skin.

What are the main findings of the Aquaphor Soothing balm study?

Clinical and dermatological studies on Eucerin Aquaphor demonstrate its effectiveness (both overall and on specific parts of the body) and its skin tolerability (both overall and in terms of being non comedogenic).

Overall effectiveness of Aquaphor Soothing balm study

A 10-day trial in clinical conditions with a sample of 25 people aged between 18 and 50, showed that Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm significantly improved the time it took for skin to regenerate.

Effectiveness in treating dry, rough and cracked skin on the hands

In a further 7-day clinical study, a sample of 17 people applied Eucerin Aquaphor regularly to one hand while leaving the other hand as a control.

The study measured the results clinically using a corneometer (a scientific instrument used to measure skin hydration) as well as collecting feedback from the respondents. The results demonstrated that:

• the ointment delivers a statistically significant and noticeable improvement overnight to dry skin on the hands.
• with regular use for seven days skin condition continues to improve

Overall tolerability Aquaphor Soothing balm study

A tolerability study with a sample of 202 people aged between 17 and 65 showed no allergic reactions on using the product and demonstrated the excellent tolerability of the product.
