Review (5/5): Pharmacist recommended!  I've recommended it many times as a pharmacist and use it myself.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment is one of the best ointments you could buy, with or without a prescription. It has many uses, from dry skin to minor burns and cuts. The petrolatum in Aquaphor along with some of the other ingredients provide a nice skin barrier which can be used even in sensitive skin areas and helps retain moisture and promotes faster healing. Aquaphor's petrolatum is oil based and as a result, it protects skin better than water based products. While it does go on a little greasy and slippery, it protects much better than creams that simply rub into your skin. For twenty plus years I have recommended Aquaphor as a pharmacist to those looking for various types of topical relief, but recently needed to use it myself and it did its job well, helping me heal quicker and possibly even lowering my risk for infection due to its activity and protection. Good luck.
