Uriage Bariederm Ointment for Chapped and Cracked Skin, 40 g

Why choose Uriage Bariederm Ointment for Chapped and Cracked Skin, 40 g?

Uriage Bariéderm-CICA Ointment for Cracks and Chapped Skin, 40 g, is the go-to targeted treatment for very dry, rough, or damaged skin prone to cracking.

Its patented formula features a rich, supple texture (a non-runny ointment) that helps fill in cracks and fissures on the hands, feet, heels, elbows, or knees.

Thanks to its exclusive combination of insulating and reparative active ingredients, this insulating anti-crack balm acts both on the surface to protect the skin from daily external aggressors and deep within to restore the compromised skin barrier.

It immediately relieves skin discomfort and accelerates the skin’s natural healing process.

Key Properties and Active Ingredients

• Poly-2P Patent (Combination of two polymers): Provides a dual barrier action: insulates the skin’s surface to prevent future damage and repairs the compromised epidermis deep within.
• Uriage Thermal Water: Naturally rich in mineral salts and trace elements, it immediately soothes irritation and calms painful tightness.
• Shea Butter & Avocado Butter: Intense nourishing and lipid-replenishing agents that rehydrate dry areas and restore suppleness and elasticity to the skin.
• D-Panthenol (Provitamin B5): Known for its soothing and regenerating properties, it promotes rapid tissue repair and provides immediate comfort.

Product Benefits

• Proven effectiveness on cracks: Fills, repairs, and smooths recent or old cracks in high-stress areas (cracked heels, damaged hands).
• Soft, easy-to-use ointment texture: A malleable texture that’s easy to apply precisely into the crevices of cracks without running.
• Continuous protective barrier: Creates a flexible, durable protective film that prevents recurrence.
• High-tolerance formula: Fragrance-free, preservative-free, hypoallergenic, and dermatologically tested.

3. What is the difference between a regular hand cream and this ointment?

A traditional hand cream provides general daily moisturization. This anti-crack ointment has a much denser, more targeted texture based on the patented Poly-2P formula, designed to physically fill the crack and isolate the wound to accelerate healing.

Although it is designed for rough areas of the body, if used on the breasts (for nursing cracks), it is essential to use a product specifically formulated and certified for breastfeeding or to thoroughly clean the area before each feeding.
