Petrolatum-free comfort care for dry, cracked, or post-procedure skin
SkinMedica Restorative Ointment is a multi-purpose, barrier-supporting ointment designed to help bring dry, cracked, or compromised skin back to a smooth, healthy-looking appearance. It’s especially useful when skin feels tight, irritated, or vulnerable—whether from everyday dryness or after cosmetic procedures. The rich, protective texture helps lock in moisture while supporting the skin barrier to reduce moisture loss. With emollient oils and antioxidant support, it’s an easy “reach-for-it” product for comfort-focused recovery and hydration.
According to SkinMedica, this ointment is made for all skin types and is intended to nourish, moisturize, and help protect skin while providing antioxidant benefits. It’s formulated to help soothe skin and support recovery following cosmetic procedures (including laser treatments or deep chemical peels), while also moisturizing rough, dry, or chapped areas like lips and hands. The brand highlights sunflower seed oil (vitamin E–rich hydration and barrier support), sunberry fruit juice (calming support for dry, irritated skin), and green algae extract (antioxidant properties that help protect against environmental damage). Keep it on hand as a reliable final-step ointment when skin needs extra cushioning and moisture retention.
- Who it’s best for: all skin types; dry, cracked, rough, or chapped skin; post-procedure skin support (as directed by a professional)
- What makes it different: a protective, deeply nourishing, petrolatum-free ointment that supports the skin barrier and comfort
Due to manufacturer updates, packaging may vary from the image shown. Please note the product formulation remains the same.
