Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Paraffinum Liquidum is also known as liquid paraffin. It is a type of highly refined mineral oil.
Like other oils, Paraffinum Liquidum has emollient properties. Emollients help soothe and soften the skin. By creating a barrier to trap moisture within, emollients help keep your skin hydrated.
Paraffinum Liquidum does not irritate the skin and is non-comedogenic.

There are two forms of panthenol: D and L.
D-panthenol is also known as dexpanthenol. Most cosmetics use dexpanthenol or a mixture of D and L-panthenol.
Panthenol is famous due to its ability to go deeper into the skin's layers. Using this ingredient has numerous pros (and no cons):
Like hyaluronic acid, panthenol is a humectant. Humectants are able to bind and hold large amounts of water to keep skin hydrated.
This ingredient works well for wound healing. It works by increasing tissue in the wound and helps close open wounds.
Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.
This ingredient is also referred to as pro-vitamin B5.

Here's what our community thinks
Aquaphor Healing Ointment 7 ingredients
this is the only thing that works for my eczema (out of this, vaseline, and cerave healing ointment) and it’s a WONDER for my chronically chapped lips. they haven’t been even the slightest bit dry since i started using this. this is also the only eye cream i use! as i feel others are overpriced and do similar/worse work
The only thing that actually keeps my lips hydrated

The only barrier cream that works - around the eyes and the whole face - this was recommended to me after a facial procedure to increase wound healing and it’s helping better than any barrier cream marketed out there. I use as the final step for extra dry skin or as the only step if the skin barrier is truely compromised.
